can share how much is needed to top up?
with this warranty claim HN replace with B5, but you top up $ to get a C5
the C5 is considered a new purchase with fresh warranty?

That's nice, will check it out this weekend, thank you 😃

Sure. I needed to add RM900 (current instant 1k rebate) for the C5 and around RM1.3k for the extended 3 years warranty (2+3)

Warranty allowed for a B5 only based on value or what I purchased the CX in 2021. I asked if I can upgrade and they allowed me to.

The C5 is a new purchase. The warranty is valid until a claim is made. Once a claim has been processed, the warranty agreement is considered void.

My LG 48" C1 bought in 2022 already kaput after almost 3 years. Horizontal white lines coming up permanently. A bit disappointed with the longevity of these panels compared to my 14 y.o. Panasonic plasma.

No doubt the picture quality of OLED is undeniable but maybe not suitable for my use case as my TVs are on practically 20 hours daily.

Now trying TCL mini-LED which you need to sit directly in front to see good picture and colour quality.

how much 'screen time' accumulated?

Yeah, dont think they can last more than 5 years. My C7 got burn-in after 2 years, and the CX died after 4 years

First two years won't void eh cause that's under LG factory warranty
the +3 onward only activated after factory warranty ended and once claimed under HN then consider void.

no more warranty for your C1 during kaput ?

I see, that makes sense actually, and now for this promo period there’s an additional one year so up to 3 years.

Oh ... not sure about this. Last year I checked got 5900+ hours. I guess > 12,000 hours since my TV is on consistently on a daily basis (2 years 6 months)

No. I naively thought LG panels would last the same as my Panasonic Plasma. So, just LG original warranty of 2 years.

I asked LG for a quotation and after sending them photos of the screen problem, they said need to replace panel which will cost me RM3,900++. So, I said forget it.

Ouch rather get a new one + extended warranty

Im looking for TV recommendation thread... but not sure if post here, will it be biased to LG? somehow im planned to get LG tv. looking below RM 8k for 55"
For watching netflix, iqiyi, and also projecting display from laptop.

Yeah I can vouch for LG OLED tvs after 3 different models. I think the only thing I don't like about LG is WebOS. Its a bit sluggish. And I thought its because my CX was 4 years old. C5 is also sluggish LOL.

Display problem no point to repair, just get a new one plus extemded warranty better 😀👍

I just use my Apple TV 4K (3rd generation; 2022) lol...

Same here, just wish the default in the tv is less bloated 🤣

bem69, did u ever press red key at magic remote control , to turn tv to standby mode (to run
compensation cycle) ?
By right run compensation cycle every 2 or 3 days should reduce the chance of burn-in problem...

Just let tv algorithm do it work. Compensation cycle burn ur pixel my friend. It is just to even out uneven wear on oled

LG C5 55 inch for RM 6438 is considered the cheapest?
Additionally, will get TnG RM300 from LG.

This is from Desa Home Theatre sale. Tomorrow is the last day.

Good deal there, better go for it 🐝

Thats a good deal, its a great tv 👍
