With almost 100% certainty I will say that this is a rare occurrence with an OLED
A very minuscule percentage of risk is certainly worth it for what almost everyone agrees is the best picture quality available up to the point the QD-OLED introduction

Personally..I have owned( or currently own) 4 OLED's, including the one in this thread , over several years and never had any issue like this..nor have I have heard of any issues like this , in numbers, from years of reading owner's posts on AVS forum

AND..if you are uncomfortable, the Best Buy/Geek Squad 5 year warranty is your friend with an almost no questions asked complete coverage
Coming from a prior Kuro and Panasonic owner and now two OLED's I completely agree.

As you can tell just in this thread people "worry" about this to the point of buying a $400+ warranty on top of the hefty price.

OLED is the best "up to a point" but there are other good alternatives that cost significantly less with ZERO worry so no need for $400+ warranty for that worry.

I'm looking for a ~45" OLED. Is the 48" version of this a good deal? I noticed Walmart had a similar LG model for $30 less last month. How often do ~45" OLEDs go on sale?

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).
Was at best buy and the Sony looked fine but as soon as I put it standard mode from vivid mode it got so dim. There was a lot of white on screen because it was a wedding but damn. Plus Consumer Reports gave the Sony a good rating for HDR and the LG excellent. But they say the Sony might not need a sound bar because it sounds that good. I ordered both but still have time before they are delivered so I'm going back to Bestbuy again to compare. But I'm leaning towards the LG though because of how dim the Sony got. I rarely watch tv in a dark room.

The LG G1 series is interesting, especially at this price. One of the biggest differences from the C1/C2 series is the 5-year panel warranty. The 5 year panel warranty "should" cover permanent burn-in as long as the TV is used in normal circumstances with typical home viewing.

https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/1...re-burn-in

Interesting article to take a quick read at. I'd say this is a huge selling point over the C series unless you get some sort of external warranty with C series.
Plus the GX, G1, and G2 are the only LG Oleds with the next generation tv tuner.

Looks like LG makes a stand that can be used with the G1; $97 at Amazon (not cheap, but at least it's an option)
LG OLED Stand GX Series Stand and Back Cover [a.co]

(product name refers to the GX, but under "Customer questions & answers," LG Tech says it will also work for the G1)
They don't really advertise it but the 55 G1 has 300x300 vesa mounting so any cheap table stand will work. I know Wartmart sells them starting around $20 if you didn't want to order off the net

OK I'm in, delivery in 8 days. Time to replace an aging 2006 46" Sony LED on a bedroom wall, this will fit a lot flusher as the Sony is 4" thick plus about an inch for its wall bracket. I have two other LG OLED's in other rooms and they've been perfect so expect the same out of this one. Thanks OP!

From Best Buy or where? If BB, contact their customer support, they might adjust it for you.

I wonder how difficult it would be to have 4 of these things hooked up right next to each other, the bezels look thin enough

They don't go smaller than 55 for the G1. According to Consumer Reports the best 48 inch Oled is the C1AUB then the C1PUB. Don't know the exact differences between the 2 are. They didn't test it but I assume the 48 inch C2 is even better. Microcenter sells refurbished C1's for $800. The C2 is also sold in a 42 inch version. 48 inch is the smallest C1 goes.

That's why I don't buy electronics from Best Buy. The return policy is crap.

Wow, I had not heard about this issue with the OLEDs. I though dead pixels were a thing of the past. Very interesting. My first LCD monitor had one stuck pixel and it drove me insane. So I guess a dead pixel may not be as noticeable, especially on a 4K tv, but it is still disappointing on such an expensive model. I wonder how many OLED tvs develop dead pixels over time!
I have one dead pixel on the lower left side of the screen in my CX. Unless you're using it as a monitor and within a foot from the screen, there's no way anyone would ever notice it. We typically sit about 7 feet away.

Yup - I don't notice them at all tbh. There are a lot of them though on my C9. https://imgur.com/a/S56CSQe
