I HIGHLY recommend buying the TV from Best Buy along with their protection plan because it covers screen burn in.
I purchased a C7 LG OLED three years ago with the warranty and it indeed burned. Best Buy replaced the C7 with a brand new CX. Well worth it in my opinion.
Very much interested in what cable you are using as I am in need of once the same length.
Would you mind recording it in this thread I created over on AVS?

Thanks!
Awesome! Would you mind being the first one on the new thread to document your cable / success story?

I have been going out of my mind lately trying to find a known working HDMI 2.1 cable for the LG CX & nextgen sources like the RTX 30 series so I created the below thread / database over on AVS.
If you are a CX owner & have an RTX 30 series card PLEASE head over and document your working cable...
The predicate of how this this new issue is being presented is that its a combination of Gsync & 4k 120hz 4:4:4 / HDR together being the problem but re-reading the statement below from the CSR that doesn't seem to be the case at least as far as what I can tell by just the snippet of info given...

As mentioned above we need to get some publicity to put a spotlight on the 4:4:4 at 120Hz issue to make LG...
Understood. For testing purposes how to you tell that the TV is converting / down sampling to the lower format? Just eyeball or is there a diagnostic mode on the TV to see what format its actually outputting?
Take a look of this video showcasing the 3080 along with a 48 CX (link takes you to 4:23 timestamp). Sorry for the noob question but what's the difference between setting the output color format to RGB vs 4:4:4 vs 4:2:2 in the NVIDA interface? Does RGB = 4:2:2? If so why present both options?
How do we even know the issue is known by LG? Does someone need to open a ticket with them or something? Would that even get proper escalation? It feels like Nvidia has a partnership / interest in the LG OLED as its the only TV certified for GSync as I understand it. They should push this up the...
My strategy when I bought the C7 three years ago paid off 2x recently. I bought it as secondary PC monitor for games / regular use also. I KNEW it would eventually burn so I purchased it at Best Buy with the 5y extended warranty. It indeed burned so I called in the warranty last month. They had...
