Is the 65" worth the $1799.99 price or is it worth holding out?
I bought it at $1799 when it came with the LG GX sound bar for an additional $299, which was an amazing deal because they want like $1000 for the soundbar system alone, but at this point I think you need to wait, the 65 inch G1 will drop more in price for sure.

My local Costco has a few of the Sony A80J left. Total after $40 coupon and warranty $1024 before tax. The LG is $25 less. I do not game. Any thoughts? I would like to wait until Black Friday, but don't think I'll make it almost 4 months.

If I buy an open box unit - do I still qualify for the 5 year warranty?

Looking at the A80J at Costco as well…what's the $40 coupon you mentioned?

You kinda missed the point of my question entirely. The frame is distinct because of its picture frame capabilities to look like art work, and I tied it into the LG asking if gallery design was similar to the frame. Gallery, artwork. Frame, displays artwork. The question was more or less is this lg's version of the frame.
No I would not compare the two.

The G1 is called gallery design because it is designed to be able to mount almost flush with the wall like a picture frame. That's probably where the similarities end though. The G1 also still has a glossy screen which helps give it deeper contrast than a matte screen like The Frame. Also as an OLED, I don't think many would recommend displaying static images for significant amounts of time.

The G1 is still a picture quality first type product, whereas The Frame is more of a room aesthetic first type product which makes some compromises on picture quality

Thanks was just looking last night, no new units in my area but snagged an open box certified for $900. Was also between this and the frame
You definitely saved yourself a return by not going with the Samsung Frame. Enjoy your new TV!

There was a groupon special for Costco membership that was posted that came with 2 $40 off coupons. $40 single use coupon and another $40 on online purchases of at least $250. The latter expires in 10 days. I should have bought the Sony A80J when they were available from Costco online.

Thoughts on this vs Sony A80J? (which looks to be still available for me at Costco for the same $999 price)? We don't game at all, and we'd have to buy the stand for the LG G1 (+$100).
The LG has vesa mounts, 300x300. Can use the cheapest $15 one from Walmart if you wanted to.

I want this but i have an issue with TVs not getting bright enough. The rtings rating has this pretty low scoring for HDR brightness. What gives? It looks superior in every other way. Im looking for the best possible gaming TV.

Currently looking to upgrade from the 55 TCL Series 6 QLED. That only does 1440 at 120hz. Its a good tv but I want better. Trying to find the sweet spot between low input lag, good brightness, and fluid motion without gimmicks. Any recs?!

I answered that question directly by stating the G1 doesn't include an artwork hard drive nor would you want to utilize it for that purpose due to static image burnin concerns. I also noted the bezel is extremely thin, so nothing like a picture frame.

TL;DR version is the G1 is nothing like the Frame. It's called gallery because it sits flush against the wall, not due to any relation to an art gallery. If you want to sacrifice picture quality for artwork functionality, the frame is your only option as no one else makes something similar.

I think the only brighter model in the LG lineup would be the CX model if you can still find one. That is probably going to be your brightest OLED option.

If the entire screen is displaying bright light, the limiter kicks in which reduces the HDR brightness tested in these ratings. In most cases, sun flares or similar bright spots appear vibrant on the G1.

RTINGS Review [rtings.com]
The LG G1 OLED is an amazing flagship 4k OLED TV. It comes with LG's new evo panel, which aims to increase brightness compared to typical OLED panels. It provides a significant improvement over its predecessor, the LG GX OLED, in HDR content, but there's not much of a difference in SDR content. The TV has a unique slim design meant to sit flush against the wall with its dedicated wall mount, and it doesn't come with a stand. It delivers the same exceptional picture quality as other OLEDs with a near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It's packed with gaming features like variable refresh rate (VRR) support, four HDMI 2.1 inputs, and a near-instant response time for a smooth gaming experience. Unfortunately, OLEDs risk permanent burn-in, which could be a problem if you constantly watch the same content with static elements, like leaving it on the same news channel all day, but we don't expect it to be an issue if you watch varied content.

8.9/10 Mixed Usage
The LG G1 OLED is an amazing overall TV. It delivers stunning picture quality for dark room viewing because of its near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It's also good to use in well-lit rooms for watching sports or TV shows as it has fantastic reflection handling, and the wide viewing angles make it suitable for wide seating areas. HDR content looks amazing as it displays a wide color gamut and has decent HDR peak brightness, enough to make highlights stand out. Gamers should appreciate the variable refresh rate (VRR) support and HDMI 2.1 inputs. Unfortunately, it has the risk of permanent burn-in, so it may not be the best choice to use solely as a PC monitor.

PROS
  • Near-infinite contrast ratio for perfect blacks.
  • FreeSync, G-SYNC, and HDMI Forum VRR support.
  • 120Hz panel with four HDMI 2.1 inputs.
  • HDR brightness better than most OLEDs.
CONS
  • Risk of permanent burn-in.
  • Aggressive ABL can get distracting with large areas of brightness.
No Dolby visions though that's why I stop buying Samsung because of it it's makes a big difference.
