LG is trash. Back in 2017 I bought two 4k high end computer monitors that were $1,400 each. Within 3 years I was having issues with both (same models) in the 4th year they both died. Never again with anything LG.

I don't usually defend big companies but I'll counter here. I bought a 55" LED smart TV from them when I went to college in 2012. That thing has been moved in the backseat of my truck about 12 times, mounted and removed the same amount with multiple mounts, and has lived outside on my porch for the last year.

It's still going as strong as the day I got it. I partly credit it to the thick aluminum housing that seems bombproof and partly to a thick glass screen, both of which are way thicker than my new OLED LG. It once or twice had a red line one pixel thick down the right third but it came right out of it in a few days. The software hasn't crashed or slowed down, and the outputs and inputs are all still tight.

I've noticed that LG tv's are really different based on what range of quality they fall into. The really good ones are really good and the bad ones are really bad. It seems like they may be cheapening their housings and screens, but the OLED is heavy as hell even with the thinner materials so it may be a needed weight savings and trade off. But so far the G1 I have and the C1 at the office are going strong.
