Morning all. First day of my holidays, my 4 week old S95B packs in. Great start. Fortunately I kept my old Samsung TV just in case to keep me going.

So I need a new Oled, whether they replace it, repair it, I don’t care, it’s going one way or the other. I’m guessing LG is the best alternative. Thoughts?
 
The biggest problem is that Samsung are going to offer to repair it and by all accounts the same thing is going to happen again. The only way I’ll get my money back is if they tell the retailer it can’t be repaired, they’re not going to do that.

I guess options are:
Try to force a refund
Section 75
Get it back ‘repaired’ and stick it on the marketplace and just lose a few hundred quid

Anyone have any thoughts on the best way forward here? So annoying that it’s just a few days outside the 30 day window.

LG C2 OLED vs LG G3 OLED Side-by-Side TV Comparison

The LG G3 OLED is much better than the LG C2 OLED. In past years it was commonplace to recommend the 'C' series TVs over the more expensive 'Gallery G' series TVs, as they had most of the performance of the higher-end model for a lower price. However, things are different this year: the LG G3 is...

Well I thought that was obvious, the value proposition of tech often doesn't operate on a linear scale.

The best alternative is still the G3, if OP wants to update his post with a max budget then we can go from there.

Also, OP only wants a 55 inch model...

G3 would be within budget. C2 isn’t a terrible proposition, although I believe the G3 is brighter?

Going to have to wait and see what the repair brings :(. At least I can buy the G3 of mine breaks again.

Do you need it that bright? I find c9 more than bright enough and for HDR I reduce oled light and contrast it's just too much at 100%
 
S95C is at some silly prices again at the moment of you trade any TV and use code NEWTV20

Can have the 55" for £1359.20 and the 65" for £1919.20 and the 77" for £3119.20!
 
Extremely happy with the Panasonic 55LZ1000. OLED panel with a heatsink, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support.

Deals on it aren't great at the moment being as it's only available from one place. Makes the step up LZ1500 seem a bit better value. LZ2000 still too much though.
 
My advice is whatever you get make sure it supports all the formats you want to watch. I wanted Dolby Vision, so some makes were discarded straightaway, as I watch a lot on 4K blu-ray. I see so many issues with people buying TV, sound systems, media players, cables that won't work together. I don't blame them as it is a bit of a minefield unless you really dig into it. Very happy with my Sony A80J, I was pretty ambivalent about Sony, previously had a Samsung and a Panasonic, but for my uses, mostly films, the Sony has been great.

I'd try to avoid ARC/E-ARC if possible.

Then you don't have issues with a sound system.
