The 2021 Sony televisions don't have the HDMI 2.1 issues (although it is still quite good on the 2020 X900H for the price, the 900H will still get VRR, it won't get auto low latency I believe but in combination with a PS5 the TV will automatically switch to game mode which is the same thing). Also the 2021 TV's come with much better image processing and for the X90J (successor of the X90H) it also has a small increase in the number of zones. Of course the 2021 models are much more expensive and will drop to lower prices during the holiday season.
Can't comment on the deal. If he is willing to pay half of a TV that you will in the end own it seems like a good deal. If the TV is already there then I am a bit confused.
I'm gonna buy the X95J when it releases. Don't have the budget for the A90J OLED that some already received this week. Possibly the best OLED TV and maybe even best consumer TV till date.
