TLw, he says that it's a good deal if you can get it on sale (which this is on sale) but he'd likely relegate it to the basement as it doesn't have HDMI 2.1. That may not be a big deal for non-gamers, so this may be worth taking a shot on for some people.

Tempted to buy the TV, but the "regular" price of this TV at Amazon is $800. Maybe the price will go down further in Amazon when it gets closer to BF. Who knows when Chinese company BOE start producing Oled panels would compete and start making cheaper panels than LG we all benefit with lower prices.
BTW, is this tv 120hz?

Cannot be worse than the Visio OLED I bought a few years back. Good looking screen when it works. But perhaps Skyworks and other low end brands will help pull LG prices down.
Maybe you should check out Vizio instead of Visio.
For all intents and purposesFor HDMI, it's 60Hz. It doesn't have the correct HDMI ports to take advantage of 120Hz, so it only uses 120Hz internally with apps.
Strongly considering this thing because I want to get into OLED without any gaming bells and whistles, and I'll never connect it to the Internet, but I can't shake the feeling this will just be disposable tech. Going to be hard to match this price though on a better brand.
Edit: Yeah, taking a chance on this one. Thanks OP.

My tv gets delivered tomorrow. It was supposed to be same day delivery but it was a mistake. They sent via Amazon now and also refunded $49 to me so this costed me $600
They have an actual store place in Arizona. I've been there. 100% legit.

It's a 120hz panel, if you plug something into the HDMI 2.0 ports, it'll be limited to 60hz. We have to acknowledge that this is a true 120hz panel via apps natively, but not through HDMI ports. There is a difference.
*I am just posting this because you said for all intents and purposes, when most people don't even use the HDMI ports. They stream media, gamers using a TV are a super minority. I think you are right though, it would be incredibly hard to price match this for video media. LG sets can be better for gamers that can push greater then 120fps, but really, how many people can push 120fps in games via their video card to take advantage of the gaming features? Not many unfortunately at the moment. I don't care about people talking about PS5/Xbox Series X as most first party triple A titles still run 30fps so they can hit that "4K" target.

You're absolutely right. I use a receiver, and external streaming sticks to avoid TV OS sluggishness, so my brain is always thinking HDMI. Thank you for the clarification. Looking forward to messing around with this thing.

Ordered this deal … finished setting it up and hauled out the box. Settled in to watch the Ashoka finale and midway through the backlight clicked off and it's dead.
F*ck me for being neat and getting the trash out so quickly - how the hell do I return this thing now?!

Linus did a quick review of a Skyworth OLED a while ago.

Very happy with my purchase and a hell of a TV for the price.
