They’re close in price currently, so I’m wondering: is it better to get OLED @ 60hz, or non OLED at 120hz?
For reference I will be using PS5/XSX and Apple TV 4K and am coming from a $250 HDTV from 2014 so not spoiled by 120hz yet.

Will highly recommend sony x90j... No headache of burn in issues, higher peak brightness and hence fantastic hdr and dolby vision picture quality.
Only reason i see for an a1 is to have dark blacks and loosing on everything else.

If your room is dim or dark, I will vouch the A1 over the X90J.
I am in the same choice boat. My room is dark enough in the evenings which is when 80% of watching happens.
However I do have an issue with reflections on my current tv. I can see EVERYTHING (it's a basic TCL) in the reflections, to the extent of recognizing people's faces (assuming a moderate amount of light on that face). Almost a mirror, though darker of course.
On Rtings the Sony does not score nearly as well as the A1 on reflections. I never get direct sunlight in this room... would the A1 present any issue? It's Costco though on both tvs, so I suppose that offsets any risk.
A1 has a very good antireflective coating. I have tried a led flashlight directly into it and I can barely recognize myself in the reflection. I don't know about the X90J reflections, but I believe the rtings measurement is accurate.

X90j= better upscaling, clarity and details. Much brighter. 120 HDR and VRR (although without local dimming). accurate colors out of the box
A1= better blacks but much dimmer. No go for watching in daylight.
Personally i would pick X90j.
