" ... It's simply stunning to watch a Ultra 4K, or Dolby Vision movie on it. ... "
" ... Now if Prime Video would get their act together and stream in UHD with LG's app when I have internet speeds over 100mbps, I'd be over the moon. ... "
" ... 4K UHD is very cool in it's own right but combining it with the state of the art LG Organic Light Emitting Diode technology and it is unsurpassed in picture quality. ... "
" ... It is breathtaking when you see your first real 4K videos. ... Get it and look for the thousands of 4K files. ... Be aware that most are actually shot at HD (2K) and are upsampled to make it look like a 4K picture. ... There are many 4K videos to watch, but very few really, really stunning. ...

" ... The backlight showing through my old LCD TV has bugged me for years, and I finally spent the money to get the OLED TV from LG. ... "
" ... OLED is the way to go. ... "
" ... I will make one comment, the upper half of the screen is thinner than your cell phone (the whole screen of this model is really but the bottom half is connected to the brain bucket-- can't imagine working with the "wall paper" model). ... What this means is that the upper half of the screen is delicate . ... "

" ... I bought a brand new OLED55C8PUA TV from Amazon which immediately had an issue as soon as I powered it up while still in the box (thin vertical gray line that wouldn't go away)! ... I need this TV to run a slew of tests with and needed a replacement ASAP. ... I bought a frickin' BRAND NEW TV, and I needed it NOW, not a couple months later! ... "
" ... Not even a couple hundred hours on it. ... "
" ... I purchased one of these TVs a few months ago, and was having issues with the picture cutting in and out every time i changed channels on Directv. ... "
" ... After less than 2 months of use, out of nowhere the TV powered off. ... I thought i did research before I bought this TV and the only real problem I thought it had was burn in. ... I believe the main board is fried and needs to be replaced . ... I should have thought more about it, It was probably an early sign the main board was defective. ... The fact a TV in this price range only lasted me 2 months is very disappointing. ... "
" ... I again tried to diagnose for a defective board and replace it. ... However even replacing all 4 of the boards in this TV did not fix the problem. ... "
" ... I was told it will be 2 weeks before I would get it back. ... "
" ... However, it only worked for a about a month before it went completely black on us. ... "

" ... --- Very nice remote control. ... The minimalist Samsung remote is cool, but LG's "magic" remote is simply more useful and can be used just like a Wii controller. ... My "magic remote" stopped fully working after 10 days, but LG replaced it quickly once I was able to get in contact. ... "

So I went through the process of submitting my receipt for the team to go through the approval process and to begin the replacement of my TV. ... However, as I needed a replacement ASAP, I decided to decline the return as the LG rep assured me that I would be getting a replacement which would only take a couple of days. ... I told them that the C/S rep told me that a tech visit was NOT required, hence my decision to NOT return the TV back to the seller and thus decline the prepaid shipping fees to return the unit back to the seller. ...

I told them, "so instead of just replacing my TV, you'd rather have me return the unit and purchase a TV from another manufacturer, am I hearing this right?" ... "
