I think it's better to buy an open box OLED from Best Buy because it comes with the full manufacturer warranty and it's easy to return.
I got to use the tv for a few days and picture is of course amazing. It has bluetooth and you can connect earbuds/headphones to it to not make noise if you watch late at night. Connected it to Legion 7i HDMI port and it worked flawlessly at 4k 120hz. Very happy with this TV, especially because it's small enough to be a PC monitor.
EDIT: I discovered there was a problem with my remote pairing which is fixed now, so following paragraph is not true.
However, there's one negative that bugs me quite a bit and I don't think I'll be buying LG for my main TV in future. It's very laggy. It's either huge latency in their remote, or they're using bottom of the barrel components for their tv or both, but it feels like I'm using a pc from 20 years ago. Considering how expensive this TV is, I'm very disappointed at how sluggish it is. Each button press takes about half a second to react. Even just trying to type in a search word on virtual keyboard and pressing left/right racing through keys, it lags a few spots behind. Pressing settings button on remote, quick settings menu takes about a second to pop up. Then pressing further on a cog to go into detailed settings, that menu takes about 2 seconds to load and you actually get a spinning circle in middle of the screen while it loads in the menu. Ridiculous, this thing is running on pentium from 20 years ago.
In comparison, our 4 year old 65" Samsung lcd is instantaneous. There's 0 latency while using remote/virtual keyboard, and tv's UI is buttery smooth. Unless TVs change drastically, my main tv is definitely going to be a Samsung OLED in the future.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I updated to latest firmware, in case that's what's causing this tv to be so sluggish.
