Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Expensive piece of junk

Mikeca 12/19/2023

Most expensive and worst TV I have ever bought. Less than 18 months old and it has become useless. LG service has told me I need to find my own technician to repair it. I have bought many much cheaper TVs that have lasted many years.

Total package almost

Shawn Lorance 4/6/2023

Ive had this model for 1 full year now. The biggest positives are the 120hz for gaming it supports all Xbox Series X features OLED and HDR make some movies more enjoyable than in the theater Atmos support and speaker volume make a sound bar unnecessary apps are very responsive. A few downsides: Bluetooth connection to earbuds crackles and drops audio frequently. LG channels and antena interface and responsiveness are very slow. Requires LG account for too much especially apps. Screensaver is aggressive with some apps and inputs but non-existent for others. Overall its a fantastic TV and everything I wanted. Only some minor gripes slightly hold it back. Had to give 5 stars but its really a 4.5/5. Highly recommended if you have an Xbox Series X PS5 or a high spec computer.

Consumer Reports

Sibil 1/31/2023

I purchased about 1 month ago after researching on Consumer Reports. They said it was the best and it is. One of my concerns was sound quality and that is great. I have a sound bar but dont need it. The picture is crystal clear. I would recommend it to my friends.

Too long of a wait.

Lil nana 1/24/2023

Love my tv even I am restricted and can not add Jackbox games and it died 11 months after purchasing. The entire flat screen and a part in the back just died while watching. Replaced for free under warranty just the flat screen and part. Glad I got an extended warranty because their repairman said this was a common issue. Other than that beautiful pic. My concern is WE had to call the repairman after he did not contact us and we knew as well as he did parts were shipped and no appt set. Once parts arrived we had to contact him and LG to get him moving. Once he came out he saw more than what he thought was wrong and we went through the process again. Lost tv for a month
