LG, Samsung, and Sony all make very good OLEDs. This is one of those things where you really need to go to a store and experience them first hand for yourself, though, to see what you like.
BTW, the free extended warranty at Costco (and also Sam's Club, as it is the same Allstate warranty) does not cover OLED burn-in. The Best Buy extended warranty does cover it, if that makes a difference to you (though, the extended warranties are almost always not free at Best Buy unless you happen to catch a sale that includes it).
For this particular TV, the Costco/Sam's models are better than the retail ones as they have better WIFI (the retail C3 has WIFI 5, while the Costco/Sam's warehouse models come with WIFI 6).
LG has been refining their oled panels for over a decade now.
Samsung's qd oled panels are incredible too and the researchers that discovered it I believe won nobel prizes for their discovery. It just doesn't have the level of refinement of LG, I would personally expect the LG panels to last longer.
I have a c1 from a few years ago and it's still pristine, I watch tv and play games, it's used very regularly and brightness hasn't been an issue but glare can be distracting.
Remember, the bigger the panel, the harder it is to avoid glare. These panels are just better without any lighting.
The picture quality either way is incredible, it's like we went from black and white to color all over again

We watch a "B" series, HSN deal from way back, that is supposedly the worst for burn-in of all the LG OLEDs - I am mindful of burn-in as the previous TV, a Panny Plasma, did get a nasty Cartoon-Channel logo stuck on it - so I sort of try and not get too lost on a single image and the kids are grown. The LG TV has proven to be ultra-reliable - I have left the Tivo (Roamio) menu that sits there after a tape has ended many, many times - watched many shows with watermarks and still cannot discern any burn-in whatsoever. Plus, we use captioning 100% of the time.
My take; OLED burn-in is a NON-ISSUE unless you're using the TV as a stock ticker or playing the same game for days on end. Any warranties purchased for this fear are a waste of money.
I would never have even looked at this spec bc I would've just assumed it would be there.
Damn, I guess c3 it is for me.

The LG 65" C3 has a built-in ATSC 1.0 tuner, but not ATSC 3.0.
ATSC 3.0 is a digital TV standard for programs broadcast in the US.
LG has suspended ATSC 3.0 compatibility in its 2024 television line-up for the United States

One year, with options to purchase extended warranties.
