Beware of LG OLEDs. Their picture can be amazing, but burn in is very real. I bought a 65" C8 series in 2018 and for the first year it was pure perfection. But at about 13 months (and sadly right after the warranty expired) I started noticing some smudge marks or blotches toward the middle of the screen, and what looks like the remnant of some kind of banner logo or game display in the lower right corner. The defects are mostly visible with images in the yellow-orange-red spectrum, but there's also some generalized tinting of yellow images toward green in the middle areas of the screen (e.g. Simpsons characters are fine at the edges but turn green toward the middle). A razor thin vertical blue/green stripe down the center of the screen has also developed, making the picture a complete disaster.
It could be just a lemon, or the universe telling me to never skip on the extended warranty ever again. I tried begging LG since it was just a month past the warranty expiration, but as you would expect, they did not help out.
Another frustration I've had with LG is their WebOS. I actually like the OS as is, but it would have been nice if they would have continued to support as new apps come out (e.g. still no option for HBO Max) it or better yet, give us the option of upgrading to the newer OS version.
PC has better graphics? Who cares? It's not like it's a night vs day difference, and it's not like consoles are expensive anymore. Go drop a quick hundy and enjoy it now. I'm not losing any sleep because the graphics might be marginally inferior to a PC, but then again, my PC screen is so small it makes anything look tight, even your mom's....
A big part of the gaming experience for me is collecting the games themselves. I've never sold or bought a second hand game, and probably never will. I just want the console that plays the best games and has the best online presence, and money is no object. If I cared about my consumer rights, I'd probably be recycling my sandals into cardboard to sell at the farmers market for people who want to make homemade granola. All that being said, I absolutely recognize the need for the second hand market and wish all this licensing bullshit Microsoft is pulling wasn't happening, but it's not something that personally affects me, so therefore it's not important. Xbox One 2014. Republicans 2016. Wait, that licensing bullshit means Obama is going to take my guns. Playstation4 2014. Republicans 2016.
