Where did you read that nonsense? Lots of OLED are 120HZ. For instance: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled...oled-4k-tv

honestly where the heck did you get that idea?

off wikipeida

OLEDs also have a much faster response time than an LCD. Using response time compensation technologies, the fastest modern LCDs can reach response times as low as 1 ms for their fastest color transition, and are capable of refresh frequencies as high as 240 Hz. According to LG, OLED response times are up to 1,000 times faster than LCD,[99] putting conservative estimates at under 10 μs (0.01 ms), which could theoretically accommodate refresh frequencies approaching 100 kHz (100,000 Hz). Due to their extremely fast response time, OLED displays can also be easily designed to be strobed, creating an effect similar to CRT flicker in order to avoid the sample-and-hold behavior seen on both LCDs and some OLED displays, which creates the perception of motion blur

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED

the 120 HZ that oled are using today has more to do with control circuit (as you have to control individual pixels and push a lot of current to each pixel, vs LCD where the current you pushing is miniscule since you are just rotating the liquid crystal to determine amount of backlight to pass, not actually generating lights).

but one thing you have to keep in mind is that with OLED, or any individual lighted panels, the fresh rate is TRUE refresh rate, where LCDs are not TRUE rate because the principal behind its technology.

The fastest current LCD panels are quoted at 1ms for GtG response and 0.5ms for MPRT response. But independent testing shows a whole different ballgame. Sources including Rtings.com and Linus Tech Tips peg full-transition pixel response from speedy OLED sets like LG C1 and CX panels at around two to three milliseconds, with the bulk of the transition (and thus the GtG equivalent performance) completed in a fraction of a millisecond.

Results for LCD technology vary a little more, probably due to methodology. But the best case scenario for an ultra-fast-IPS LCD monitor, such as the Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN, by comparison, is around 3ms for the bulk of the transition and 6ms for the full color change while other results push those two metrics out to 6ms and 10ms or more respectively. Either way, OLED is clearly faster.

If you want insurance/extended warranty , you could get a cheaper extended warranty from amazon. Best buy extended warranty is more expensive.

Put it on a credit card that includes extended warranty and you will be okay for 2 years. If the tv dies in 2 years it will be covered. If it's after that, it won't but guess what, you can probably get this same tv for 50 percent off in 2 years just with aging technology. The only reason extended warranty is worth it is if it covers accidental breakage or something...

Which credit cards still offer that? Seems like all the no annual fee ones did away with that, except maybe Costco?

My Chase Freedom and Signature Visa cards have no annual fee and they both extend the mfg warranty an additional year.

Amex and Visa offer it. Some of the annual fee cards are worth paying the fee. You get your money back in benefits and then some.

So in other words it is indeed a repost.

I have a citi card that has it - it's a MasterCard. I think that the two year extra warranty is now more available on MasterCard, although obviously check the fine print.
