Hi All,

I was offered a replacement as my previous Samsung SUHD 65" JS8000 had light bleed problems... I plan to get a new TV for the long term, at to last 5 years...

Thinking of LG C7 but concern about image retention and burn in. I watch movies, netflix and play some games. I didn't want to worry or baby sit the TV as you guys term it.

Should I consider LG or go for alternatives like Sony x930e or Samsung Q7 QLED?

If going for alternatives, is Sony better than Samsung as I see reviews they are...?

For Sony, I see in US they get x930e, whats the equivalent model in Malaysia?

Thanks all...

Not image retention but more concern about permanent burn in.

Has anyone here experience perm burn in on their LG?
Does anyone know if LG warranty in Msia covers perm burn in? I hear US no but yes for Aust.

Thanks

Samsung and their bullshit QLEDs can go eat out of their own anuses - at least for the 2017 models. They are promising FALD for their QLED this year's models, so we'll have to wait and see how that turns out.
Permanent burn-in no. LG warranty here does not cover.

IR will occur, there's no 2 ways about this. But thus far I have not encountered any permanent burn-in after owning my C7 for 7 months+.

Thanks for your feedback Ben...

Agree on the QLEDs, they are not competitive for 2017.

You mentioned LG warranty will not cover burn-in, curious to know where did you hear from? I asked some sales men and he claim it's covered. I wanted to make sure he's not BS-ing so I wrote directly to LG and now waiting for their response.

Actually it does, I wrote to LG support and they confirmed it's covered via email.
