LG C2 42" 4K OLED Refurb (G-SYNC compatible, FreeSync Premium, VRR. 4K @ 120Hz) - (GTA only) | $1049.99 (Was $1500)

There’s a bunch it seems. https://techspirit.ca/collections/refurbished-oled-tvs

Considering this as a monitor for 2 separate computers. I assume handling multiple inputs is as simple as hdmi1, 2, etc. is there a fast way to change inputs using buttons on the actual screen or the remote would be needed? Thinking of changing it a lot in a day with remote seems tedious. Or any outside the box thinking?

Anyone purchased from them in the past? How are they? Kinda in the market for a 55in.

I have PC, Sonos, PS5, Laptop connected to it at the same time. I use number buttons on the remote to switch inputs. It's easy to program - just hold the number button to save the input.

Just throwing this in as a reference point as I know this won't apply for 75% of Canada since this was a QC deal but at J.sonic (refurbished.ca) they had a sale for refurbs of this exact model too going for $799.

799 is really good. Only concern is Jsonic has mixed reviews. Perhaps worth it though.

My questions: Why so many of these C2 tv's required to be refurbished? What would I be watching out for when I get a brand new 65" later on?

I think in general refurbished sellers will have a YMMV like reputation. Atleast with Jsonic it is fairly popular and has been in the business for awhile and most certainly has credibility. With that being said, OLED refurbished is risky to begin with more so then with non-OLED.

I had a 55 inch as a computer monitor And switched to a 42 inch. Although I miss having four windows open at once, the 42 inch is the sweet spot for a computer monitor. No regrets and productivity as well as gaming is perfect.

I know this ones a great deal refurb this and that

but i have a lg sm8100 i paid 250$ for from walmart on clearance years ago, really good tv i thought but my dad prefered his 1080p sony bravia kept going on about lg colors being off.

My 34" has only 60hz and 3440x1440, so ive been considering a newer monitor, and or one of these tv solutions it ive been looking at the 42 sony a90k and using that as a monitor.

I spoke to a sales guy at Visions and the V2 is about 30lbs lighter than last year's C1. As a result, it's not as rigid to support the panel. A lot of panels are being damaged right out of the box. The B2 is last year's C1 and is cheaper l.

Is 30% + tax really enough to compensate for the extra risks of a refurb? compare to say buying used 50% no tax.

Also, is there a credit card product warranty that covers refurbed? I remember most don't.

Picked one up on Friday from warehouse. Very friendly staff.
0 powered on hours. No difference vs new.
100% Recommended, would buy again.

My guess would be people returned it for 1 or 2 dead pixels.
