A: BB just gave me a gift card equal to the full price I paid for my 2017 55” OLED C7 model. At the time of purchase, I bought the 5 year geek squad warranty and it is under that warranty that a refund was issued. The warranty would have ended on 3/4/24. Attached pic that BB accepted with no attempt to not honor the warranty. I did run the pixel refresh LG option many times. The closed caption lines still did “burn in” and BB warranty covers burn in. Due to age of my almost 5 yo set no longer being available, the only option was to refund the original price as a gift card, which I just cashed in and bought an open box 55” LG OLED C3 in “excellent” condition, for a difference of $11 between refund of 1187 and price of open box set. It was a smooth and painless process! I also bought the 5 year geek squad plan again.

Q: What the difference between a OLED TV and QNED TV ?
A: Thank you for your interest in the LG OLED evo C3 55 inch 4K Smart TV 2023 (OLED55C3PUA) model. OLED TVs use organic material for colors or no color, providing superior contrast and refresh rates, but less brightness and best in a dark room. QNED TVs use NanoCell and quantum dot tech with Mini LED backlighting, good brightness, and excellent contrast but can't turn off pixels completely. They're affordable and suitable for lit rooms. OLED has a wider viewing angle, while QNED has more reflections.

Happy upgrade from LED
You get what you pay for here. I was a bit put off about the price at first but I’m enjoying it. True blacks and shadowing, smooth picture, ease of use with a computer mouse like remote, sleep features, and easy setup and also very light so easy to mount on a wall mount. I use it for gaming as well where I noticed the contrast difference.

LG C3 OLED TV - Exceptional Performance & Quality
My LG C3 OLED TV has been a phenomenal experience and I couldn’t be more happier. All content thus far has been exceptional and rich in color and quality. Honestly, I have been toiling with the idea of getting this tv because I was worried about the brightness based on past reviews. However, I am super happy to report that the brightness of this tv is incredible there is no need to worry and furthermore it can sometimes to bright for my space. Additionally, the switching between formats are automatic and seamless, and barely noticeable. Dolby atmos is great and there are a whole heap of inputs on the side of the screen instead of the back… It is important note that the TV is super light and thin .. one main highlight for me is that it seamlessly integrates with Apple HomeKit. Something that I truly love and it was well done! There are a gamut of other features that I am simple getting up to date with presently.. but I would advise anyone not to stick on this tv … Buy It!!!
