72 out of 100 medium confidence 29 reviews

The LG M3 OLED TV receives high praise for its stunning picture quality, deep blacks, and bright HDR performance, with many users calling it a top-tier OLED. The wireless Zero Connect box is a standout feature, delivering lag-free video and a clean, cable-free setup. However, numerous reviews highlight severe issues with open-box purchases from Best Buy, including missing components like the Zero Connect box or remote, burn-in, and misleading condition descriptions. While the TV itself is excellent, the purchasing experience is frequently marred by poor service and misrepresentation.

Pros
  • Stunning picture quality
  • Deep blacks and bright HDR
  • Wireless Zero Connect box works flawlessly
  • Clean, cable-free wall mount setup
  • No noticeable input lag for gaming
Cons
  • Missing Zero Connect box on open-box units
  • Burn-in on used/display models
  • Misleading condition descriptions from Best Buy
  • Missing remote or accessories on open-box
  • Wireless signal drops if obstructed
