Thanks to Deal Editor iconian for finding this deal.
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

Can some elaborate on the deal here? The TV industry has had so many iterations in such a short duration, its easy to have the "megapixel" goggles on and say "well, 48 inches, pffffft, there's been way bigger TVs on here for less."
Is this just OLED specifically that is pumping the price up?
PLASMA -> LCD -> LED -> QLED -> MiniLED -> OLED? Help me fill in the gaps. I'm too old for this sh!t.

I just had to make use of an extended warranty for a TV purchased at Walmart. They actually reimbursed me the entire purchase price! I was shocked. Definitely worth it!
never buying LG again. Bought a 77inch G3. The thing pops and cracks twice a minute. Loud. Two LG repair techs later and they say that we put it in our manual that cracking is normal. The TV is beautiful but try to enjoy it with pops and cracks all night. Worst $3500 i've ever spent. Wish I would have bought it from Costco.
The speakers pop and crack? Who buys a 77 inch TV and doesn't hook it up to a sound system? ๐

That is a shame and Im sortve surprised you would have such an experience with LG. Not so much that you would encounter a quality control issue...that can easily happen regardless of brand though we all know what brands are the worst for that. More surprising that you would buy a 77" G3, have issues, and LG refuse to do anything. I've always heard that LG backed up their G series well and Id assume you had the opportunity to return. Where did up buy it?

I bought a refurb C2 from this same company on their eBay account. Price was wonderful. Tv worked all of 3 days, third day wouldn't turn onโฆtried all steps to rectify the issue, the issue persisted. Sent message to the company I wanted refund, they asked if I'd just try to use the all state warranty lolโฆ.no I just bought this it should workโฆ.offered me 200$ back if I would keep it and warranty it. Lmao are they for real?!? They were, I said no full refundโฆ.they demanded I cut the power cable and take a picture as proof. I did and they promptly refunded me.
Went out the next day and bought a C3 from Best Buy with 5 year warranty. Once I'd used the c2 for 2 days with my ps5 I couldn't go back to LCD. Now have a broken c2 in the box sitting behind my couch unsure how to get rid of it, it was a big waste of time.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all. They are a bottom of the barrel retailer. If you have no issues, they're great (because all that mattered was price) but otherwise boy howdy.
If you ever figure out how to get rid of that tv, let me know. The TV that the speaker fell on is still sitting mounted to my sim pitโฆbecause I don't have a replacement and I have no idea how to get rid of it.
Was still very tempting. I paid 1400 for the 48" C2
Beach camera is on LG's website as an authorized retailer.
You're complaining that they did a returnless refund and you were allowed to keep your C2 for free?! You could probably get that thing working if you downloaded the service manual and troubleshooted it with a multimeter.
Shoot. It isn't actually from Walmart. Beach Camera is an authorized dealer, but third party sell through are always hit or miss.
Here is to hoping this pops up as a direct deal somewhere. My 48" C2 had a speaker fall on it and smash smashy
Beach has been around a LONG time. I remember getting into an argument over the phone with them many years ago and I don't remember over what. So I still have a sour taste and I don't even know why. That said, I'm sure you'd have no reason to fear them.

Happens to me with an older LG tv (uh8500). Never had that problem with mt C2. I guess it's hit or miss
