Who was providing 3+1 warranty on Panasonic OLED?
I got a call from Reliance Digital and they have asked me to send photos of symptoms and then they will send me new TV again for replacement. I am worried if the new TV would have even worse vertical banding. When I looked at Reddit people there were having even worse than mine. The horizontal bands have disappeared and haven’t come back so far. Must have done 15+ hours now. Help me make the decision, should I keep this one or get another?
Fortunately Reliance is very kind and cooperative in this matter and I am glad I purchased the TV from them.
Keep it, you still have 2 years on the warranty on cases it becomes really bad. As long as its not affecting your viewing I think it should be ok
Guys the LG engineers are pushing for me to take the extended warranty. The prices given by them during the demo period (1 month) is 30000, 50000 and 80000 for 1,2 and 3 years. After the demo period it is 53000, 100000 and 141000. Is this worth it? He is of the opinion that one should take it.
Better invest that money somewhere and forget about it. If your TV has problems in future use it and if not then money still stays with you plus the returns on it.
Also the engineers have hefty commissions on extended warranty sale. So they will always try to push for it.
I was visiting Reliance Digital in Bangalore (Jayanagar) few weeks back and they said it will be available in September this year.
One of the Panasonic dealers in Bangalore. I don't remember who exactly because I had only inquired on the phone. I got the number from the internet.
I got 3 year extended warranty for my 65" Sony OLED 65A8F for 43k (included in emi). (1+3 = total of 4 years).
These numbers seem to be out of the world.
May be this is how LG mitigates cheaper TV prices??
That’s not bad. How much you paid for your A8F?
It was an year ago, so not to be confused with current prices.
I paid 3L around september 2018. During diwali the price came down to 2.5L with the same offer. (55" came to 1.5L)
All of this in Bajaj electronics hyderabad.
Wow - you paid a premium price. Lowest quote I could get in May 2019 was around 237k from Croma I think.

This was still a May 11 manufactured unit having run only 36 hours but I am going to let LG know about their dealings. The service engineer said all stores do this including big stores like Vijay Sales. I would like go cancel it but it is going to be a big hassle and I will probably get a replacement TV. Reliance Digital had quoted me a final price of 2.30L.
Same thing happened with as well when I bought my LG 4K TV back in 2015. It was showing a run time of 384 hrs. When I looked carefully, there was dust ner the connectors, the remote was scratched. That's when it dawned on me that they have sold me a used/demo set. This was Vijay Sales. I took up the matter with them and they replaced the unit the next day. When I checked the hours clocked on the replaced set, it was showing 0 so definitely the first unit they sold was a demo/used unit.
What is the price they are quoting?
Which Croma was it? I am thinking of buying a 65" A8F.
(But now there is an A8G on the horizon, wondering if I should wait till Diwali for that. Sigh!)
I think it was Navi Mumbai Grand Central Mall Seawoods.

I have a quote from my regular TV guy and he has quoted 132000 for the 55C8 OLED and 122000 for the 55B8 Oled. How are these prices ? These are Mumbai prices
