LG was the first brand to successfully sell large OLED TVs to the mainstream consumer and thus its OLEDs now have generations of improvements.

2019 Sony XBR Series A8G OLED 4K Smart HDTV
There's a reason why we never post Sony OLED TVs... they never go on sale. For the first time, we've seen a major discount on these OLED TVs, $500 off the 55" model and $1000 off the 65" model. These are true OLED TVs and the only real competitor to LG's OLED lineup. The Sony TVs usually command a price premium, but with this price drop these are actually cheaper than even the lowest end of LG's 2019 OLED lineup. OLED TVs are still considered the TV to buy if you want the absolute best image quality. They are superior to traditional LED LCD TVs thanks to their unparalleled contrast ratios and black levels.2019 55" Sony A8G OLED 4K Smart HDTV with Bonus $150 Dell eGift Card for $1498

TV Buying Guide
Before spending money on a brand new TV, I'd suggest you take some time to answer these questions first. Your TV purchase could last you a long while, so you want to make sure you pick one that will satisfy you for years to come.What Size TV Are You Looking For?
Get the biggest TV that your space can fit and that your budget allows. The #1 regret for TV buyers is wishing they had gone with a bigger size. Common TV sizes range from 32" to 86". Currently the sweet spot for value lies in the 50" to 65" TV size range.What Is Your Budget?
TV price depends on many factors, including screen size, brand, features, and of course deal quality. The price can range from under $100 all the way to thousands of dollars. It's important for you to set yourself a firm price ceiling or you could possibly spend far above what you expected. In my opinion, the vast majority of people should be easily able to find a TV they are happy with a budget of $700.What Features Do You Need?
When you upgrade, what features would you benefit from? The obvious choices here are 4K, Smart functionality, and extra HDMI ports.4K is actually not quite necessary at the moment; most content is unavailable in 4K and most 4K TV owners watch 1080p or 720p content. However, 4K is inevitably progressing in both video and gaming, and it may very well become the standard format within the next 2-4 years. If you want a TV that will last, it's best to ride the 4K wave.
Smart functionality is also useful because your TV can be a hub for all of your streaming content such as Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Video, and more without the need for an external device. You'll save the expense of having to buy yet another TV accessory, installation hassles, and the loss of an HDMI port.
In terms of connectivity, you'll want to figure out how many HDMI inputs you'll need. If you have 3 gaming consoles, that will take up 3 ports right there. A soundbar may take up another port. So would a DVR, Chromecast, or Amazon Fire Stick. If you don't have enough ports you could get an HDMI splitter, but that would add to the cost.
Fortunately, the features listed above do not add much to the cost of the TV. As you get to pricier TVs, the primarily difference is in picture quality. HDR (high dynamic range) capable TVs have higher contrast ratios and deeper blacks for a more realistic picture than can't be emulated on a standard LED LCD TV. Multi-zone LED backlighting also improves on black levels by allowing LEDs to completely turn on and off independent of each other. OLED TVs have the highest contrast levels and deepest blacks, but you could easily pay 3x-4x the cost of a budget TV.
