Amazon has also price matched this 55"
I bought a LG C1 display from costco (3500 hours already on the tv) 55" for $850 w/tax. $100 streaming credit and 3yr extra allstate warranty. (after I saw them post new ones for $699 shortly after, VERY ymmv though. I felt cheated.)
While I am happy with the OLED's top tier performance, I would like to have a desktop wallpaper again (I use for PC) and not have the screen get dim every time I stop moving in a game. The OLED burn-in protections are quite anoyying and If you want to care for its longevity, you abide and keep them on. So I get this used Display OLED and then I have really baby it and it was still a whopping $850...meh
With that said, I'm still in the return period and will be returning my OLED C1 for this banging deal. This tv has solid reviews and I can return to max brightness 24/7 with no OLED burn-in fears.
This tv also has VRR / Freesync. No Gsync. I read that it was capable of VRR 4k 120hz with HDR on and I will be testing that.
1000 Nits (Brightness factor)
On top of that, 5 Yr best buy warranty is also cheap since the tv is cheap. For $99 you get 5yr warranty with best buy, supposedly protects you for everything and its transferrable.
Which brings me to my next point.. With the 5yr transferrable warranty for $99, including tax brings this TV to $657.23 (Brand New)
You get a 2021 very decent QLED (ULED Hisense) 55" 120hz with 5 Yr warranty ($99 optional)
Personally I'm just getting the 5 Yr warranty so I can sell it after 2-3 years and use the warranty as a selling point. If I decide to keep this tv, hell than best buy will cover it for the full 5 years.
I just feel better im getting a new TV and it will be cheaper, with no scare of Burn-in. Especially after I went and got a USED C1 and still had to pay a lot.. This deal makes me more satisfied. I hope this TV works out for me.
This is a great TV, with caveats. They never got 4k 120 right, and every firmware fix they released to try and fix it broke something else. It was blurry, had ghosting, and then the color got completely washed out. The current firmware is causing the sound to cut out for 10 seconds pretty frequently with sound bar. I hear they're working on yet another firmware update to fix that.
It has some weird software quirks, most of which were alleviated for me by disabling most apps except a few streaming services.
Turning the mic button off leaves 4 yellow lights on, but they turn off after a few hours.
Motion is just plain bad, but that should be expected for the price. Putting judder reduction at a 1 fixes things like scrolling banners without soap opera effect.
The panel is gorgeous after color calibration. Deep blacks, doesn't blow out whites like the u8g (it follows the curve correctly), and gets plenty bright. This is the selling point for this model. For $500 you won't find a more capable panel.
Local dimming setting is reversed - low is high and high is low. You want low.

Simple functionality seems to be a challenge at times due to bugs
As I said one the other thread, one more generation would do these TV's good I think
The prices cant be beat and that is for sure
It will be for an elderly person who just needs good picture and sound. No gaming or anything like that

You might try a Sony 55X80J. Looks like Walmart has them for $600. Last thing an elderly person needs is a buggy tv.

Also, I've had no sound issues with my LG SP9YA soundbar attached.
