A friend is looking for one and I don’t know what to recommend.

Assuming that the goal is to never connect it to the internet and plug in another device with HDMI.

    Seriously. I’ve had an LG B7 for many years now and it’s amazing. It’s not internet connected and I don’t use any of the built in apps. Straight up display.

    The first time a pitch black scene came on and my room likewise went pitch black was something else. No going back from OLED after that.

      I think that’s the same OLED I have. B7 or C7. It’s starting to band on red, but I got at least… 7 (?) years out of it, and the bands are only mildly annoying. Similarly, I have never connected it to the internet, and don’t use any of the apps.

      It’s not very bright, but I’ll take that over washed out or blotchy blacks. I’ll shop for a used OLED like this when I’m ready.
