I have a $4500 LG OLED thin TV that is 2 years old and broken
The screen has had lines for a while, annoying, but not critical. Now there’s a power issue where it powers off in a few minutes
Now, this is out of warranty, and, it turns out, the 2 LG repair locations in the Seattle area no longer do TVs
LG know this is a problem - they are currently sending parts, and there’s a West Coast LG repair guy who will come and fix it when the parts arrive
A 4K $4k TV that isn’t that old and is almost un repairable is crazy
Anything with some exotic screen is going to cost more money and be harder to fix - pay for the extended warranty!
Note - my credit card has automatic extended warranty, but I need a quote for fixing the item, and there are absolutely no authorized repair people within 500 miles of Seattle to even get that!
