Panasonic or LG oled

If it was my money I'd be all over the C2 but bear in mind stock is running super low what with the C3 having been out for some time now.
If it was definitely my money I would wait for Black Friday (1 month to go)& make the jump to a 55"

Bought an LG OLED about 6 years ago, last year if suffered very bad screen burn, sent it back to LG after a long draw out diagnosis they said we can't repair as we have no new screens so I'd have to live with it! £2000 TV screen only lasting 5 years! last LG purchase I'd ever make.
When out last year and bought a Sony! brilliant piece of kit.

I've got an LG C6 55" OLED (from 2016 I think?!), no issues with burn in. Still going strong. However, due to the age of the TV and that it's technically obselete, the built in apps were becoming unreliable with shows not always playing all that well - Added a Fire TV Stick (4k) instead to resolve this issue.
Just ordered an LG G3 65" to replace this TV in our main living room. Looking forward to seeing how much better it probably is!

I bought an LG C8 in September 2019.
It began failing to switch on, soon after but was recalcitrant enough to just get beyond the 30 days wherein repair became their favoured option.
It took 2 men to travel 40 miles from Swansea and return to Swansea and then a week or so of it being repaired before I finally got it back.
It put me off LG for life.
Since being repaired, it has been fairly reliable with only one dead pixel off to the right that causes any annoyance.

My understanding is that all OLED panels are made by LG so the difference between sets will be due to other aspects of the construction.
I’ve got a 6-year old LG 55 inch OLED and a 9-year old non-OLED 42 inch Panasonic. Both sets have worked without problems so far. The Panasonic user interface is, for me, miles better than the LG, especially in the area of recording programs from the TV on to a connected hard drive.
£729 for a Panasonic LZ800 is a serious bargain and when I searched just now it was shown on Amazon at £1268. For whatever reason the prices of Panasonic sets seems to be much higher than the LGs.
As it happens, I use the Panasonic for most of my recording and it’s good enough but I would prefer an OLED screen. I tried a Panasonic 48 inch OLED in Richer Sounds and the sound quality was poor. Not sure if that was just the way it was demonstrated (just been unboxed and on the floor) or a feature of the set.
For now I’m living with the Panasonic until it gives up, at which time I’ll replace with an OLED, being sure to check out the user interface in a demo.

Re who makes OLED, from my research recently when I bought my Sony XR65A95L, Sony’s OLED panels are made by Samsung and their UI is Android which is far better than any other imo.
Sony ‘beats’ Samsung by having better tech behind it. Marginally.
Samsung have now got QD-OLED panels in their and Sony TV’s which raises the game further.
