LG warranty is a ****

I'm writing this review to protect future LG product owners from making the same mistake I did. Buying an LG product from someone "that is less than 3 months old".

I recently bought a 34 inch monitor on gumtree, the monitor was bought on the 17th of Januarie from a local store and I have an invoice to confirm this. On the 15th of March I bought the monitor and still pulled off the plastic.

The monitor worked great for a few days and then just didn't want to turn on. (firstly super disappointed in a high end LG product that just breaks like this, but I suppose live happens.)

After fiddling and trying to make sure that its not my stupidity that cause the product to not turn on or maybe its just plugged in incorrectly, I contacted LG support. They quickly gave me the number for the local repair centre and I phoned them.

I explained the full story to the repair centre and how I got the monitor and they confirmed to me on the phone that the products warranty is void, if you buy it from someone else. This truly baffled me as a product itself carries the warranty not the person who originally bought it ???? I've bought a few other products on gumtree before and from friends that I've had to send in for a warranty claim and never have I heard of a company with this type of policy.

If you buy a car with warranty and sell it, the warranty carries over to the next person. If you sell an external hard drive the warranty carries over, if you buy a ****** cellphone the warranty carries over. Except if its LG product.......

I now have to pay out of my own pocket to have the monitor repair, that is less than 3 months old and has a "LG warranty for 3 years". Worst company I've ever dealt with regarding a warranty claim.

Moral of the story, either lie to get the warranty to pay out or just stay away from LG products.
