Anyone with experience buying direct from the manufacturer (LG, Sony, Samsung) vs Amazon vs Best Buy? They all participate in the UPP (Universal pricing) so the price is the same, but I don't know the differences in service. I can get a corporate discount from the manufacturers.
Check out Value Electronics in Scarsdale, NY. ISF Professional calibration offered for all TVs (addl. cost). I've purchased my last two OLEDs and have always had excellent customer service.

Got me one of them thar LG 65” OLED C4 models yesterday. My wife really enjoyed watching Dancing With The Stars. She said it was much nicer than watching it on the old 50” ten year old Vizio with washed out looking picture.
Glad we got it because I love when my wife is happy.
only problem so far is that darn pointer system with the so called “Magic Remote” I hope to find a way to disable it.
Sound ain’t bad. For my purposes, no soundbar required.

Congrats. Wait until you can catch a game that is broadcast in 4K. Stunning. That said, my wife can’t seem to tell the difference so maybe it’s a case of “beauty in the eye of the beholder.”

Same here Wander,
Can't see the comparison. Maybe have to up-grade TVs for a couple of grand?
