I am filing an urgent complaint regarding a defective LG OLED TV purchased from Best Buy with an extended warranty. Shortly after purchase, the TV became unusable—it would not power off, displayed persistent “home/app shadow” burn-in behind all content, and had constant background interference.
Despite the warranty, Best Buy redirected us to LG since it was within the first year. We literally got to wait for the Best Buy warranty to kick in before we can use a $3500 TV. We called LG, Our initial LG rep (AJ) had us run color tests and submit photos, then told us to wait 5 business days. We escalated to a manager, Anne, who was rude and dismissive. She instructed us to unmount the TV, perform a factory reset, and run pixel cleaning for over an hour. None of these steps resolved the issue.
Despite following all instructions, we were told to call back with no resolution, and LG has refused to replace or properly repair the TV.
This product is defective and unusable. Neither Best Buy or LG will take accountability and fix it

Finally received help after waiting for quite some time. Kathy was excellent.
We just had to wait a very long time for assistance.
Its nice to get all house hold
Great service when you check out but you have to hunt down employees on the sales floor unless you're looking for a cell phone.
