OLED's are generally known for burn-in and this was a demo model which must've been on all day for who knows how many days. Kinda on the fence about this. Has anyone else tried to buy?

Yeah, what are returns for Demos like? This must have been running HDR content at max brightness around the clock.

Don't see an exception for Demos here: https://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/returnsExchanges

These demo TVs are always on a screensaver loop, unless you are watching a TV channel with static logo, no chance of any burn in. I have never seen TVs plugged into TV channels, always random screensavers showing picture quality and features.

They already sold their in store demo units for this model a few weeks ago. Its odd that this is online. These could actually be new in box units and they're just clearing inventory.

Is this the best year ever to purchase a demo tv? The stores in Ontario have been closed most of the year. If the stores aren't open they wouldn't turn on the tv's, right?

After I got LG C1 65" form Costco , I saw so many deals about TV which I was interested, but it's too late.

Buy Nice or Buy Twice.

Hmm, could be returns from that first clearance.

i believe you can check the amount of hours that it's been on in: Settings, General, About this TV, then TV information

Plan to. Otherwise will return it. My last purchase of a TV from The Source arrived at my place dented/smashed in the corner. Hopefully this one turns out better
