I have (had?) an LG OLED65P that I bought in May 2016 that I have loved. It did get a small point of burn-in towards the top of the screen about a year ago or so, but was minor and something not worth the hassle of dealing with.
But this morning while playing a game (Suikoden II) the screen went black and did not come back. Although I could hear the game running in the background. I thought it might have been a handshake issue at first, as it has dropped out on occasion to a black screen, but will come back momentarily. However, didn't come back this time. After switching to my TV input (everything goes through my receiver) still the same. Could hear sound, no picture.
I turned the TV off, unplugged it for 30 seconds, plugged it back in and tried it again. I could tell it was trying to start up. I heard the click that it normally does when starting up, the light flashing at the bottom. But instead of getting a screen, blackness. It tried it again, same result. Kept attempting over and over until I shut off.
If I attempt it now, it just turns on as it would normally, but with no screen (doesn't keep trying).
Fortunately the TV is still under warranty and I submitted it. Very nice, but agent told me it will probably be a week and a half until she gets to it as she is so backed up. And then she will review for an authorized repair center within 25 miles of my location. If she can't find one, then I need to find one further out. But if they won't do a home visit, then I will need to go to them. And that would suck as the TV is massive.
Good thing my roommate has a TV in his room, which we are taking out to the living room to hold us over for now. Not as big or an OLED or 4K, but a decent 32" LCD.
I loved my TV, lasted only just over 4 years, but I did watch it a lot.
One thing I'm actually kind of concerned about is I had to do a hard shut down on my PS3, as I couldn't see the screen. It's a BC PS3 and still going strong. But I always get paranoid when those rare times I've had to do a hard shut down for that system, as the last time I had to take it into repair. (Although the console locked up).
