As discussed exhaustively in the last 9783 LG TV threads- if you read the actual warranty (not scare language from a website)- LG does not condition their warranty on if the dealer is "authorized" or not.

So the warranty applies regardless of who is selling it.

The only conditions LG includes in the actual warranty terms are:

Unit must be sold as new
Unit must be a US model, sold in the US, to a customer in the US.
Unit must not have had serial # defaced to be unreadable


That's it.

Figured I'd give some feedback on this for potential buyers.

I bought my C9 a couple of years ago from firstclasstvs via EBAY. TV was legit, US model and has been working flawlessly since the purchase. I registered the TV with LG when I bought it and also purchased LG's extended warranty (2 years) at that time also. Was offered for approx $140 from LG themselves.

Point is, transaction was good and product was good. I ALSO was apprehensive at the time but it worked out great.

firstclasstvs reseller. 100% pos rating. ~800 sales this year. Seems ok. Not sure if its an LG authorized dealer but its been documented that it apparently doesnt matter much.

I can get the military discount for this model but I am going to Costco today to see if they have any cx for the 1299 price in my area. If not C1 here I come.

no, I did not buy an extended warranty.
Is the seller an authorized dealer? If not, will the 1yr manufacture warranty be valid? Thanks.

Unless things have changed with newer ones, my 65C7 is super bright on my room that is well lit, so much so I usually have the OLED light setting at 30 or below otherwise it feels like it's burning my eyes because it's so bright.

Same company.

I have an A80j and a mostly controlled room. If all the shades are open, dark scenes do struggle...particularly with HDR/DV material.

The C7 has more overall brightness (higher % screen white) than many newer OLEDs, but lower peak brightness. Its not a terribly significant difference though.

My TV also can be painfully bright at times. SDR content is rarely a problem during the day. Specific darker content may still struggle a bit.

HDR is a different story. High dynamic range is exactly that...super brights...along with super darks....and many more levels of each to display.

Watch the helicopter drop scene in the Dolby Vision version of Suicide Squad in a lit room.

If your TV is set for its best PQ, you will have to look hard to make out many details there. I'm not saying the detail isn't there. It is. But your constricted pupils will struggle with it. Even the red 'Warner Bros Presents' blood trail in the water tends to blur into the black water making it difficult to read.

In a dark room...it all looks awesome.

You can always adjust Gamma and black level upwards to compensate though so it isn't the end of the world. In fact, its just a matter of making another preset and using that for daytime viewing. I suspect you are already using an alternate mode if dark HDR content looks OK in the daytime.

LCD panels are probably the best choice for majority daytime viewing and/or truly bright rooms (wall to ceiling windows, open floor plans, etc.). Their challenge tends to be the opposite. They just aren't as great in dark rooms.

Where (and when) do you do most of your viewing? What's your budget? Choose accordingly.

Until micro FALD LCD arrives, nothing's perfect...and who knows what new drawback FALD will bring...besides its already outrageous cost.

I would think with ebay you've got an extra layer of protection versus going straight through their website.

Did u end up buying an extended warranty or anything? If so who through?
I bought a square trade warranty from Costco to cover my LG Oled purchase from buydig. I was surprised that this is allowed, Costco needs a receipt

I believe things have changed, I've tried the A80J, CX, and C1 and all of them are very bad with darker scenes in a well lit room, but awesome at night with the lights off so I'm now looking for a QLED instead.
