Just picked this up from Costco for about 200 more, while im happy to spend 200 more for the additional warranty that was included (total of 5 years) I'm very happy with this tv, I'm using it as a very large computer monitor, and it's phenomenal for that as well, but it's fantastic as a tv as well.

Huh. I see it. $1449 at Costco. You're right that's a pretty good deal for B&M Costco.

Too bad they're wanting $2449 for the 65" 🙄

Anyone considering the use of an OLED TV as a computer monitor needs to understand the issue of burn-in, as OLED screens are not intended to display static images for extended periods. CNET has a good article here [cnet.com] about OLEDs and burn-in.

Is Greentoe and authorized LG dealer? The LG website says it's not, however the title says it is.

LG authorized dealers sell through greentoe. The dealer should provide an invoice that is valid for warranty purposes.

Greentoe just sends your bid to the authorized dealers. The TV will be sold and shipped by the authorized dealer that accepts it. You'll receive an invoice from the dealer and register the LG warranty with them as the place of purchase instead of Greentoe.

The takeaway there-

Quote from your source :

Burn-in is not an issue for most users

Quote from your source :

Burn-in is possible with OLED, but not likely with normal use.
Most "burn-in" is actually image retention, which goes away after a few minutes.
You'll almost certainly see image retention long before it becomes permanent burn-in.
Generally speaking, burn-in is something to be aware of, but not worry about

Personally I've got north of 6000 hours as a PC display on mine and it's fine.

The LG website has a lot of nonsense on it.... including them not even understanding GT doesn't sell anything- they're a middle man.

Also the text of the actual warranty doesn't care if the dealer is authorized or not despite the nonsense on the website.

Put in an offer for 1,150. Not expecting it to get accepted though. Still don't love the idea of ordering through Greentoe but if I can get it at that price, I'm in.

Just found this at Rakuten for 1496 + 448 in Reward Dollars.

It's not exactly "strait price" but its a heck of a deal

Yes, you need that warranty for sure. Just watch out for burn in and keep the brightness not too high.

OLED will replace LCD over time since it will be cheaper to make.

Just like Plasma where rockets use to launched to capture the interstellar gases used for Plasma Tv but became very expensive to maintain and convert the deadly gas into inert material used for the TV. Not that we have organic based TV, we can still have the same picture as Plasma without the costs and risks.

Below is picture of the space molecules used in Plasma Tv. It only takes a few to make all the colors but its very very expensive and dangerous. Great we have safe OLED Earth based technology.
