Summary

LG UK now offers monthly rentals for TVs, soundbars, and monitors.
Subscription terms range from one to three years with upgrade options.
Rental costs can exceed purchase prices within months.

LG has introduced a subscription rental program in the UK called LG Flex. This service enables consumers to rent LG televisions, soundbars, monitors, and speakers through monthly payments. Customers can select subscription periods of one, two, or three years, which influences their monthly costs.

Upon completing a subscription term, users have the choice to upgrade to a new device, continue renting, or return the rented product. A £50 fee applies for a removal service for TVs. LG states it will not penalize minor signs of wear, but significant damage may incur repair charges.

For instance, an 83-inch LG OLED B5 2025 TV can be rented for £93 per month on a three-year plan, but rental payments will exceed the £2,550 purchase price after 27 months. The cheapest item, a 2024 soundbar, rents for £22 to £76 monthly.
