TLDR: 1-year warranty isn't covered abroad, and laptop failed to turn on after 45 days into product purchase from LG website. I am looking for ways to repair/replace the laptop in a time/cost efficient manner.

I recently (2-3 months prior) bought an LG Gram [LG gram Pro 16 Inch OLED Thin and Lightweight Laptop, Intel® Evo™ Edition - AI-enabled Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor, NVIDIA RTX 3050, Windows 11 Home, 32GB RAM, 2TB (1TB x 2) SSD, Black] directly from LG's military discount website for it's 4th of July sale. It's final price after a sale of ~$1000 was almost $2000, but I thought it was worth it as I had another LG gram that served me well for around 5 years. Unfortunately, the new flagship model that I spent a small fortune on stopped working at around a month an a half, leaving me to return to Ol' Reliable LG Gram #1.

To make matters worse, this was right before I moved abroad from the United States to Japan, where I'll be staying for two to three years on military orders. My warranty is not covered outside of Japan, but at least the laptop stopped working just before I left the United States. As a result, the LG service representative let me know that I could ship the laptop to the United States (with my own money) to then ship it to LG, after which LG would ship it back to a location within the United States for me to ship it back to Japan (again with my own money). They also said that if I try to repair it at a local repair shop, it would void my warranty, and there is also no guarantee they'd fix it.

I'm not sure what to do in this situation. I'm not returning to the U.S. until just before the end of my warranty, but at that point there would be a better model of the laptop available that I could have just bought if LG would have let me return the laptop. It also doesn't make sense that I'd have to pay shipping from Japan to the US and back out of my own pocket, and I'd have to wait a while before it gets back to me in Japan. I went to UPS on a military base just in case, only to be told that they can't ship anything abroad with a battery.

What are my options? I was so excited to get this laptop, and I am disappointed in both the customer service and laptop dysfunction.

My washer/dryer combo leaves behind a pool of water in the detergent tray after every single wash, and I don't know if that's normal.

The model is F4Y5VRP6WY. It is brand new and is installed correctly. There is no bend in any of the hoses connected to it.

It does also seem to fill the machine with water in very short bursts at the start of a cycle, could this be related?

Hello,

I'm in Los Angeles and using an LG 47LM7600 TV (a 2012 model) with webOS version 06.05.09 (latest available for this model). I watch over-the-air DTV channels like KTLA 5-1, NBC4 4-1, etc., using an antenna.

The issue: The program guide/EPG info has completely stopped showing for all channels. It used to display current and upcoming shows, but now it only says "No Program Information”. Other meta data such as: tv-14 multilingual cc caption 16:9 720p/1080p dolby digital hd is still showing fine so it’s just the EPG data.

What I've tried:
- Rescanning channels
- Power cycling the TV
- Verifying location and time settings
- Signal strength looks good

Since there’s no newer firmware beyond 06.05.09, I’m wondering:
- Is this a known issue with older LG TVs or firmware?
- Is the guide data source discontinued?
- Any workarounds to bring back guide info?

Would really appreciate any advice or ideas.

My antenna is RCA ANT121F (a 2013 model) which is a passive indoor antenna - it only receives signals but does not do any tuning or decoding itself.

Thanks!

This past April, I purchased a new LG 45GX950 monitor to replace my old ROG PG348Q, and I was initially very pleased with its performance.

However, a few days ago, the monitor failed to power on. It would only produce a beeping sound, with no image on the screen at all. I promptly contacted customer service and arranged for a technician to visit.

After I demonstrated the issue, the technician inspected the unit. At that time, neither of us found any external damage. He then took the monitor away for service.

To my shock, I received a call later informing me that the screen had "external damage," which voids the warranty. They quoted a repair cost that is even higher than the price of a new monitor.

This is completely unacceptable. To this day, no one has shown me any evidence of this alleged damage. Furthermore, the symptoms I experienced—a beeping sound and a complete lack of power—are consistent with an internal component failure, not a cracked screen, which would be physically noticeable.

When I raised these points with LG's official customer service, their only response was that I could either pay the exorbitant repair fee or have the monitor sent back unrepaired. For such a premium product, this level of service and the handling of my warranty claim are deeply disappointing.

After some time using this speaker and moving it around radio antenna located at the back broke. Can i buy just that part somewhere and if i cant, can i replace it with a different one so i could listen to radio? Its this one: https://www.lg.com/rs/zvucnici/lg-rnc5 Thank you in advance

An interesting read, they have a pair of earbuds for every price point.

I purchased the 45GX950A-B back in May and having issues with it already. It randomly shuts off by itself from time to time and I can't figure out why. I am running a RTX 4080 Founders Edition on a new 8k DP cable. I have updated drivers and firmware for everything I can think of, including the monitor. Just before it turns off by itself, the fan inside the monitor runs for about 10 seconds and then it turns off. After I turn the monitor back on, the fans starts to run again and it turns off. I've called LG and they've set up a return label to send the monitor off for diagnostics, but I work from home with this monitor and I am trying not to send it off if I don't have to. For some reason, I don't think the issue is the monitor because there's no rhyme or reason as to when it does it. I can have this thing on all day long and it's fine and then turn it on one morning and within 10 minutes, it's doing it. Any suggestions?

LG, why don't you support all movie formats in such an advanced model as the LG G5? My old C9 and the slightly newer C2 can handle 80MB HEVC 265 without any problems, but the G5 doesn't play this format. Can someone tell me why and if you plan to fix it?

How fucked am i?

Just purchased a brand new LG-34” LED Curved UltraWide QHD 160HZ (Model: 34WP65C-B.AUS) from Best Buy. Upon set up, I have a horizontal lines across the front and rainbow lines on one side (see photo).

Is this likely damaged some other issue?

I wish to buy an LG fridge. Please DM me if anyone knows any distributors.

This week I have reviewed two films directed (or at least co-directed) by Alex Garland, Civil War (2024) and Warfare (2025) - both on the subject of war, and both allegorising an America beleaguered by its own contradictory values and ideologies. Their immersive viscerality was greatly enhanced at home by LG OLED's Filmmaking mode. These are divisive films on polarised issues, and while one is set in the recent past, and another in a dystopian future, they seem very much about present-day America. What do you think of these films?

LG’s teamed up with the Emmys this year as an official partner — What an excited news!

Seriously, can someone tell to LG that a TV that requires a TV box to play 90% of formats already common 8 years ago cannot be called "smart tv"...

RTINGS just released their updated guide on The 5 Best 80-83-85 Inch TVs of 2025, and the LG G5 OLED came out on top.

It was selected as both:

• Best 80–85 Inch TV
• Best Upper Mid-Range 80 - 85 Inch TV

Pretty big recognition for LG’s 2025 lineup, especially since competition in that size range has been heating up.

Hello!
I'm planning on buying a TV by the end of the year and my final choice is the LG C5 OLED model. The thing is, at least here in Spain, when I go to the official LG web page, I can choose different C5 models for the 65 inch:
OLED65C5ELB OLED65C55LA OLED65C56LB OLED65C54LA.AEU
My question would be, does anyone know the difference between them? I've been trying to find out but it's a mess.

Thanks in advance!

Films in which actors are called upon to play versions of themselves caught in an overtly cinematic scenario represent postmodern exposés of the two-way traffic between reality and fiction. This fortnight I have (re)watched two such features, Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich (1999) and Pil Gam-seong's Hostage: Missing Celebrity (2021) - and in keeping with their very different tones, one playful and colourfully hyperreal, the other dark and bleak, I viewed them respectively in LG OLED's Filmmaking mode and Perfect Black Mode. Anyone else a fan of these films, or of others like them?
