Same here. I bought a 65" Roku QLED and I thought it looked fantastic but it had 3 small dim spots on it that annoyed me and I couldn't un-see. I ended up returning it to Amazon but since I bought via a Prime Day deal there were issues with the refund. In the end, through some screwy customer service they ended up just refunding the price of the TV I paid and then gave me a gift card and credit for the difference in price with the expectation that I would buy the same TV again (it was like $350 more after the sale). But I was able to apply that $350 for the LG G1 55" and got that instead.

I was amazed at the picture quality difference. It's a stunning panel with absolutely no visible flaws.

Whilst I understand the sentiment. 4K at a normal sitting difference really does make a difference over even 1440p. You'd probably notice the difference even at 8K+ . Now a lot will depend on what size you are spreading that 4K over. Put that on a massive tv and yeah you're probably right. But cramming 4x more pixels into a normal 27-32" pc monitor and quadrupling the DPI will be noticeably better.

Now actually being able to drive a 4k monitor at 144Hz + you pretty much max out (or exceed) most cables which is kinda funny. You really have to choose your monitor and cables quite carefully to do any more than 4K 60hz at the moment.

Makes me wonder, what do you play and how often?

I have a Lg B9 from 3 to 4 years ago. It’s on every day and a play mostly games on it. Thousands of hours of Warzone, FIFA, Overwatch but still…. No burn in whatsoever when I do a burn in test. I do see the UI for just a little bit when switching games but that goes away in seconds

I bought a c9. Without any warning at all, the tv started sparking and immediately shut off. The screen never came back on. After talking to two LG certified repair shops, neither of them had anything good to say about LG OLED, reporting numerous cases of the panel going out and having minimal support from LG to repair it. With the repair cost being extremely high they advised to just buy a new tv rather than pay to fix it. I called LG and they refused to extend the warranty to cover this cost. I love the C series but I just cannot risk buying another one when this one didn’t even make it to 3 years. I always powered it off when not in use, moved it only only once. Would not recommend.

Again I loved the tv. Best on the market as far as software and picture goes. But do I want to buy the c2 or c3 or switch to something else?
