Indeed, getting the tv a few days sooner might be worth a few bucks.
No, I do not.

Having had a few “your order is lost/delayed” with Amazon, I’d definitely go to Costco. Plus much easier to deal with if something goes wrong with the TV.
I’m at Costco now…they don’t have the C2 version in store…they do have the C1 for 1600…I think I’m going to get this one and not think about TVs for another decade or two

I hope I can fit it into the back of my Prius.
This guy says to buy the C1:
Tldr: “ If you do need a new TV now, however, or you’d rather not wait, the LG C1 is still the best value in high-end TVs. ”
Holy beep…$42 for a replacement remote off of Amazon.
I don’t think the LG 65 OLED C2 existed when we bought the C1. This particular TV was chosen by us for its super-compatibility with the PS5.
Despite the screen being so thin that I worry I might break it by blowing on it, it’s a solid TV.

No kidding!
The screen is as thin as a potato chip, and I’m not talking about O’Grady’s but your run of the mill Lay’s. I thought it was going to snap in half.
@Tiffany , here’s a SAS mainframe tip: if you’re reading a file that has been backed up to tape, you can HRECALL it first so that it’s ready to go when you RUN your program.
Also, check to see if your TV has been recalled. There were problems at the potato chip factory:
I’m about to get a TV, too. This will be my first large TV (I have one that’s maybe 30" in the den) I have about 4’ of space above a 3’ bookcase, where I want to mount the new TV. I use a Roku in the den, and my default is to get a new Roku for the new TV, which will be in the basement.
I anticipate using it mostly to watch movies, but it would be nice to be able to use it to play video games from a PC or a switch or maybe some other device. I suppose I’ll also want to plug in a DVD/bluray player.
I’m more looking for “hang out with friends and watch TV” than “reproduce a theater experience”, and the sound in movie theaters is typically painfully loud.
What should I be looking for? Any advice? Any advice on mounting the thing?
That is what Lucy said!!
No advice. Sorry.
I do recommend paying an expert to install.
Could also use the base that comes with the TV and put it on top of the bookshelf, assuming nothing is on the bookshelf.
Find the chart that describes TV size ranges for your viewing distance.
Shoot. That was advice.
What does a ROKU give you that you don’t get with a smart TV?
Haven’t checked if my TV was recalled yet, but if it was, I think I’m still leaving it bolted to the wall.

I don’t know enough to give advice. I can tell you that I’m happy with my Costco purchase and that it suits my needs. If you’re very concerned about making sure your needs are met, I’d recommend going somewhere like Best Buy where they have professional young people that know a lot about this stuff and are paid to disseminate it.
I’ve purchased and installed three tv mounts in my life . I screwed up on the last one—setting it too high on the wall. Your experience will be improved if you use a stud finder over the tap-on-wall method.
I generally just go with whatever gets good reviews. Fact of the matter is they all get “good reviews “. Make sure it has features you want—tilt, rotate, extend, can handle the size of your unit.

… THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!!!
OLED is overrated.
If I can’t leave the screen idle, I don’t want it
Can you expand on this?
A lot of smart TVs are Roku under the hood. But the Roku is a device I’m already familiar with, and is easy to upgrade. Friends with both prefer Roku.
