A few weeks into ownership, the main board died.
LG support was next to useless as there are no repair techs in my area, so in the end, LG ended up refunding me the cost of the TV.
I did some research online, watched a couple YouTube videos, and ended up swapping a new main board in by myself. Took about 20 minutes and a screwdriver, but was an easy process.
Still works perfectly now. So in the end, I paid about $100 for a 65C2.
If I had the chance to do it again, knowing how easy these TV's are to do, I'd 100% do it again.

Ultimately, I'm rationalizing it as more of a hedge than a warranty. If I get 4 years out of the TV, great. If not, I'm $699 to whatever full price TV is the current hotness/deal, having had this OLED TV for the equivalent of $140 in rent. Either way, it's hanging in my bedroom, the screen is flawless, and my better half is extremely satisfied with the upgrade from the Toshiba FireTV that needs a full reset every three weeks because I refuse to give it Internet access anymore.
You have 30 days to return to the store, so this deal is best suited for those with a MC nearby.
I honestly think Micro Center was just trying to clear product and they legit gave me a new TV.
