Reply to comment by gdubh in LG’s 97-inch G2 OLED is actually a bargain at $25K by ChickenTeriyakiBoy1

The tv on the post is stupid expensive cause is OLED and has true HDR capabilities. All OLEDs cost thousands

Hahaha no. Maybe there is one demo model somewhere that is close to that but it certainly isn't replicable by 99. 99% of buyers.

I did see the demo model of the A80CJ marked down to $900. My issue is you have no idea of how many hours are on the panel.

I picked up a C8 from a Best Buy in 2020 for $898. Floor model, listed online for $1098. Went to pick it up and saw a sticker showing $898. They said it was an accident but still matched the price.

Brought it home, it had over 14,000 hours in the previous 2 years being used as a floor model, so it was on just about 24/7 for 2 years. It had the "Best Buy" logo burned in covering a good portion of the screen.

I called up LG and reported burn-in, and knowing they offer 1 free panel replacement even outside warranty, they actually sent out a technician to swap it out. It's sitting at almost 19K hours now and perfect :)

Maybe I should have grabbed the A80J lol. Not that Sony would do a panel swap

I saw that deal. I wish I waited for that. I got the C1 55 inch during the holiday season thinking $1300 was as good as it gets for a while. The G1 is very impressive

One thing that bugs me is that you can't hook up audio through the optical output AND have Bluetooth surround speakers. It's only the TV speakers + bt speakers. I want to use all 3 audio outputs.
