AbsolutSurgen Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 We're in the process of renovating our family room. We just moved our 11-year-old Pioneer Elite Kuro plasma from the back of the entertainment unit, and mounted it on the wall. Plugged it in (I can hear the power supply get power). Press the power switch. And nada. Looks like it is now DOA. I'll try it again in a couple of hours. However, is anyone aware of any deals on 65" LG OLEDs? (My wife is trying to get me to hold off on buying one until Black Friday and use an old 720p projector we have, but if I can find a deal on an OLED, I may be able to convince her....)

AbsolutSurgen Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Found the problem. Apparently my TV has a hard power switch (that I haven't used in 11 years, or 4 moves) -- that we must have bumped when we moved the TV. Apparently I'm not the only idiot who didn't know this. On the positive side, when I pulled out my outdoor projector screen, I discovered the cardboard tube was wet (and moldy) -- if I hadn't taken it out (and cleaned it up), my projector screen likely would have been ruined! (God works in mysterious ways.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a bad price, tbh https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F392027498787 Since it’s “or best offer” I’d try $2300. Free shipping, no tax, comes with two HDMI cables and a screen cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Probably 2 weeks ago Walmart had factory refurbished 65" LG OLED B7A's for about $1,600. That's probably the lowest I've seen but I'd always be worried because it's a refurb. Like is it going to come scratched or messed up.

elbobo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 prices will keep dropping through the year with a low around black Friday then they bounce back a bit till they start closing out around March the next year and will drop until they are gone.

Rbk_3 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I bought the 65C9. What a shit show this thing is in terms of uniformity at white and near black and there is red tinting on the edges with earth tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping they let me exchange again. Even on the C8 the white uniformity wasn't the greatest, but at least the near black was good. I am sure worst case they will let me take the C8 back, but then I lose VRR & HDMI 2.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen too many people report things like this, so it could either be there’s a “break-in period” or you had bad luck twice in a row.

My B7 definitely doesn’t have this issue (not helpful, I know ) It's pretty common, unfortunately. The masses just don't seem to notice or care. I watch hockey so it sticks out like a sore thumb on that. Here is a 60 page thread on the tinting with a lot of examples. Some people in that thread went through like 8 sets before finding one they deemed acceptable. I don't know what store would let you do that though. There are plenty in there that people returned that I would be happy with. https://www.avforums.com/threads/oled-yellow-red-tint.2119862/ The near black issues can improve with break in, but as far as tinting, it seems to be what you see is what you get.

Years ago I had to return a tv and just trying to pack it all up and haul it back was stressful enough. Let alone multiple times. I would definitely take that one back though, looks horrible.

Thanks, yeah you would expect a $3000 TV not to be tinted like a rainbow. The store is going to let me come in and look at one before I do an exchange to make sure it is ok before I take it home. I don't expect it to be perfect, but this just isn't acceptable to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local tv repair guy swapped it and LG paid for it. So he made a few other tweeks on their dime too haha. But yeah my fingers are crossed every day that it doesn’t pop up again.

Opted for the 55” this time as I read your luck is better with the 55. It’s damn near perfect compared to those 65s. So relieved. Would prefer a 65 but I’ll happily take a tint free 55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
