RTINGS.com gave this TV an overall rating of 9, calling it "an amazing TV".
OLEDs have the advantage of individually lighting up each pixel while other technologies light up entire sections of those millions of pixels we see in modern TVs (4K has 3840 by 2160 so 8.3 million pixels). This means when we see images such as a human face in an OLED we see the slow change in color such as the color of their skin, small shadows, wrinkles, and everything. Top OLEDs (e.g. OLEDs made by LG and Sony) look almost 3D in nature due to the sheer accuracy of each of those millions of pixels. Also, unlike other technologies, which use backlighting in sections this also means you have perfect contrast and perfect blacks since black pixels will genuinely not light up for that scene. In other technologies such as LEDs backlighted sections means that many pixels will be gray rather than black on a night scene since some backlighting will remain on to illuminate a bunch of nearby pixels. Another example of this is with subtitles. An OLEDs subtitles will look perfectly white and crystal clear since nearby pixels will be noticeably darker. Many other technologies don't have crystal clear subtitles since the nearby pixels are partially glowing as well and the contrasting between the text and the background isn't nearly as good.
Top OLEDs also are extremely reliable. I read a lot of negative feedback when I compare products and the one issue OLEDs had a long time ago was burn in, but this issue is almost nonexistent now. Other technologies do genuinely have a lot of issues though such as backlight bleeding and even some more serious issues (e.g. complete breakdowns).
OLEDs are nearly perfect. Their one area that they are beat by other technologies is they can only get so bright since each of their 8.3 million pixels (in the case of 4K screens which are very common) can't light up as brightly as some other high rated competitors. Modern OLEDs are much brighter than they used to be though so they get plenty bright in most cases. The only exception, in my opinion, is if you're competing against direct sunlight from a nearby window. Other technologies (e.g. Mini-LED and QLED) are better at competing against direct sunlight glare since other technologies can get extremely bright. LG and other companies that make OLED options are aware of this brightness limitation so keep in mind that the C3 (2023 C series) gets noticeably brighter than the A3 (2023 A series) and 2023 C series has dramatically improved from 2020 C series (they've made so much progress brightness is actually now quite good!). Later letters in LG OLEDs means more advanced technology. Personally the slight advantage the G series has over the C series doesn't seem worth the higher price so I think the C series is the sweet perfect spot for many users though many users would still be extremely happy even with the A series or B series. One other tiny disadvantage with OLEDs is scenes with a LOT of white (e.g. LOTS of snow) might look awkward since each pixel only gets so bright and OLEDs therefore cannot do perfect whites. These scenes with lots of white are incredibly rare though. Instead OLEDs do perfect blacks such as the perfect contrast you'll see in all those night scenes, but this perfect contrast and 3D appearance is noticeably beneficial in other scenes too.
Hmm seems like it's sold by a third party with some mixed reviews. Some have said they sell refurbished TVs. Maybe be a little wary with purchasing. The extended protection helps though
OLED and Mini-LED are the best technologies around right now. LG OLEDS are great, Samsung MiniLED and OLEDs are great, the Sony x90L and up (including all OLEDs) are great too. Hisense and TCL miniLEDs are great for the price as well. Stay away from anything else

Great find OP! I was hoping to get the 42" C3 OLED for $800, and the 48" is usually $100 more, so $800 for the 48" deal here is fantastic for those interested! Hopefully, we'll see a $200 coupon for the 42" as well soon.

Weird because I am signed in but I don't see any coupon to click

That really is odd. It showed up right below the price for me. I checked again now and still there.
Here is to hoping this pops up as a direct deal somewhere. My 48" C2 had a speaker fall on it and smash smashy
55 for $1150
65 for $1400
