I thought they always did! Anyway why wouldn’t they come with a 5 year warranty?

I bought last years LG CX which came with a 5 year warranty. So it's not new to LG Oleds here in Ireland.

I am 99 per cent sure the LG 8K OLed TVs have always come with a 5 year warranty too. And John Lewis wouldn’t sell the G model without a 5 year warranty, so this thread really confuses me.

I agree Gel. I think any TV over a grand which comes without a 5 year warranty makes bad business and is a deal - breaker for almost everyone! The article has bamboozled me also 🤔 You would always expect flagship products to come with a 5 year warranty..

I know. The only thing I can think is that it’s an old article piece.

I think this is where the article originated from:

LG OLED TVs now come with a five-year warranty – but not all of them

Buying an LG G1 or LG Z1 just got a bit safer

But it makes no sense!

I think they are referring to buying off the actual LG website and not other retailers. See here:

I think they are saying that the warranty on the LG websites covers all panel issues eg screen burn, for 5 years and this is a new thing. Whereas buying from the like of John Lewis you pay extra for all screen issues on top. Not a bad thing then.

The c model comes with standard 12 months warranty on LG website still:

Yes that would be new regarding the screen burn cover! 👍🏻
