Want an OLED screen that\u2019s larger than 55 inches? You\u2019re out of luck. That may change over time, but for now, you\u2019re giving up some choice for the ability to pay less up front.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly though, \u201csubscription\u201d is really just a fancy way of saying \u201crental\u201d. You may or may not be old enough to remember when <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radio_Rentals\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radio_Rentals\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\">Radio Rentals<\/a> was a feature of the high street, but it began to disappear when technology became cheap enough to make the rental model unappealing.<\/p>\n<p>The main drawback is that you don\u2019t own the TV at the end of your contract, as you would with a smartphone. Those payments are for the privilege of borrowing the TV: stop paying at the end of your contract, and there\u2019s a TV-shaped hole in your living room.<\/p>\n<p>That in turn means that you can\u2019t sell on your TV when you decide it\u2019s time to upgrade. Granted, TVs don\u2019t hold their value particularly well, but if you buy one upfront for over \u00a31,000, you can at least get some of that money back eventually. Not so with a subscription service like this.<\/p>\n<p>The headline prices might also not be quite what they seem. The monthly subscriptions quoted above are for 36 months, which, to my min,d is fine for televisions, as the technology doesn\u2019t move that fast, and I\u2019m perfectly happy with my OLED LG BX from 2020. But if you do want the flexibility of upgrading or switching screens sooner, then you\u2019ll pay more for 12 or 24-month contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you do the maths on the fees and make sure you\u2019re not paying substantially more than the cost of buying outright, too.

There\u2019s a reason that Radio Rentals was a successful business for decades, and while cheap technology put an end to the business model, those seeking a top-end AV experience will still need to shell out a lot. Using LG Flex is a way of making that manageable by spreading the cost.<\/p>\n<p>But while not owning the TV has its advantages in terms of flexibility and not needing to worry about things like burn-in, you\u2019re essentially paying to borrow something, and you won\u2019t recoup any of your costs back by selling it when you\u2019re ready to upgrade. A \u2018buy now, pay later\u2019 option may be better for you, if your financial situation is secure enough to handle the payments.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if you know what you\u2019re signing up for, LG Flex is a perfectly viable way of boosting your home cinema experience without a painful upfront cost. It won\u2019t be for everyone, but if it lets more people enjoy the magic of OLED, then it\u2019s certainly a good thing.<\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"LG C5 OLED\" data-widget-type=\"merchantlink\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" class=\"hawk-root\"><\/aside>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; burn in.
