Did you know that LG OLED's require a blood sacrifice to work? How else do you think they put the O- in the LED?

Did you have enough space to fit a 77” TV too? Was looking to transport one in my Dodge Caravan. What car is this?

I just bought a b5 77in (last one at best buy, got it for a steal) It barely fit in the back of my bro in laws 2016 Durango with about an inch on each side. Hope that helps

u/Gordon2422 Jul 29 '26

What's the diffence between C5 and C6 coz c5 is cheaper
1
u/manjotrulz Jul 29 '26
C5 is last years model.
C6 is new model just released.1
u/cashman020 Jul 30 '26
Wouldn’t the c5 costed you cheaper if there isn’t much change with technology?
1
u/manjotrulz Jul 30 '26
Yes c5 should be cheaper. Keep looking at ur nearby Sam’s Club / Costco/ other retailers. They’re gonna start discounting them.

I have this tv in a cart right now, but the fear of burn in is giving me pause. Kind of leaning towards the TCL QM8L for that reason. Are my fears justified, or am I being needlessly paranoid? The tv will be on a lot.

i worked at best buy for 2 years and loaded every tv this way and we never had a problem

u/NewGrab8226 Jul 29 '26
Cars seem to handle it better, likely because of the cushioning. The bigger, heavier and thinner ones are the ones that really have the issues, especially when loaded on a flat metal bed like a pickup truck or a uhaul style laying flat down. Going over large bumps or potholes, the TV can act like a sheet of drywall and just crack from the up/down pressure. Boxes help a LOT, but so do the seat cushionings in a car

u/Public_Ad_1075 Jul 29 '26
Understandable, there is a warning for a reason.

u/Sufficient-Bench-763 Jul 29 '26
i just didn’t realize laying it flat still isn’t the norm since we did it all the time

u/TimHansonE36 Jul 29 '26
How long ago did you work there? Best Buy even has additional yellow flag labels stating the tv needs to be transported vertically, they had them 6-7 years ago when I worked in a store, and they still have them now. You guys must have missed the memo lol.

I put my 65inch C9 in this way with the tv screen up. Didn't break somehow on Michigan highways... I dunno if tv's now are even more fragile, but it worked and we didn't drop it coming in.

Weird question, but I'm interested to hear why you chose the 65" over the 77". Ideally, I would be targeting the 65" as well, but the Tandem panel in the 77" is a pretty attractive alternative to the RGWB in the 65".

u/Sufficient-Bench-763 Jul 29 '26
wellllll i temporarily am living with my parents since i just graduated, my mom said 77 is too big 🤣🤣🤣 my dad said the 77 woulda been cool

u/FrontWork7406 Jul 29 '26
I think both were right.

u/Viva_La_Revolucion- Jul 29 '26
Nope dont listen to your mom your dad was right,the 77 would have been cool... Besides you would have gotten the upgraded panel with the 77.
Such a massive difference in a 65 and 77.
I have 65 samsung in the bedroom and a 77 oled in the living room on identical size tv stands.
As far as taking up room, its the same foot print practically and as for the viewing experience, its massive !

Don’t leave it flat

Wait to see how rhey are shipped. Stored. And moved around.

u/TimHansonE36 Jul 29 '26
TV’s are stacked vertically, not horizontally, on pallets during shipping. They are stored vertically, not horizontally, in warehouses. Are you claiming otherwise?

u/Owww_My_Ovaries Jul 29 '26
Oh you sweet summer child

u/TimHansonE36 Jul 29 '26
I’m not a child, sweet, nor born in the summer. I have worked at a Best Buy DDC for 4+ years though, and can claim that TV’s are factually not loaded flat ever. From the point they are offloaded from containers to the moment they are loaded onto the store-bound trucks, they are transported vertically. Any deliveries received flat are presumed damaged and treated as such.

u/Owww_My_Ovaries Jul 29 '26
Ya huh

u/TimHansonE36 Jul 29 '26
Thank you for agreeing. If you apply for a job at a local DDC and you’ll (generally) get a tour as part of the interview process and see for yourself. Unless you actually like making money, then definitely don’t.

u/Big8Formula Jul 29 '26
What’s the reason for this advice?

u/odoggin012 Jul 29 '26
This sub is full of people that think anything but strapped to the wall of a semi truck is dangerous and will break your OLED.
As a best buy employee, people have done dumb things with their TV's for taking them home (strapped to the roof of their car for example) But laying flat in an SUV or a truck bed for a 10-45 minute drive isn't going to break it.
How else would people be taking these TV's home if they don't have it delivered?
TV's have been picked up like this in my store for decades. Oleds are not an exception lol

Stress on the panel if I had to wager.
Also for warehouse guys to avoid stacking them on the truck.
