After 3 panel replacements and 10 months of dealing with customer service, LG finally agreed to refund my OLED65B7A. After this experience, I think Costco is the only route, though I see its going to cost a premium of around $500+tax. Has anyone had any experience returning a TV with buydig or firstclasstvs? So tempting to save the $$ but I'm not sure its worth the potential headache of getting an OLED with one of the well documented panel issues

Original panel had vertical banding and a big cloud of yellow tint left center of the screen. The three replacement panels had no vertical banding, but all three had a vertical line about 6" from the left side of the screen where the picture was extremely cool to the left and extremely warm to the right. Still an amazing picture but when you see ice, snow, grass, sky, etc., left of the line it was blue and right of the line it was yellow. Crazy that 3 brand new panels all had the exact same issue. Not sure how these made it out of the factory. I have inspected every OLED display I've come across in store and none of them have had this issue. And trust me, no demo mode could hide this unless it was a pure black screen.

Interesting
No issues with My LG E7
I am awed each time I watch it in a light controlled room
Grabbed one with the explicit understanding that they will invoice it today.
They were well aware of Discover price protection ending.
After PP it will be $1,599. I'm wagering that these don't go lower.
I'm sure there will be a few crazy YMMV deals but broadly available pricing? I'm guessing $1,700 and that's six months out.
OP, just out of curiosity, did Greentoe ask you not to post this?
They gave me a whole spiel about low quantity and not posting this.
