QuestionWhere do I check to have somebody install and setup this TV on my wall?
Asked 7 years ago by Bcon.
- Answer The Best Buy Geek Squad should be able to help you with this. I used their services to unbox and set up my new TV, and they were great! They were on time and very professional. I believe that you have to purchase the wall mount hardware yourself, which Best Buy carries. I asked my installers if they could bury the wires in the wall, and they said, "No. Best Buy does not allow then to do that due to liability issues."

Asked 6 years ago by Larry.
- Answer Yes you will need a separate set top box. The TV has the normal hook up for off air channels. no provision for a direct Cable feed. You'll want to use one of the HDMI connections when connecting your cable box.

QuestionRegarding Burn In - how long would it take, i.e. hours, days, weeks, etc., for Burn In to actually happen? Possibly using an example of a TV tuned to ESPN or CNN where their logo is always on screen....
Asked 6 years ago by VeryCurious.
- Answer The response by JC1, where he/she states not to worry, is pure hogwash in my opinion. There are several sites that have been posting burn-in results, comparing LCD to OLED. The OLEDs suffer from substantial burn-in when displaying repetitive content such as CNN. You may even notice the burn-in at your local Best Buy store if the TV has been on display for a few months (look for flower sunburst pattern, assuming they are playing the same content as my local store). Most people shouldn't have a problem, but beware if watching sports or news channels all day. I would strongly discourage buying this TV for a business that keeps it's TV on all day and tuned to certain networks.
