The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
LG publishes a Right-to-Repair stance and public YouTube part-replacement videos, and TV boards/backlight strips are well stocked via Encompass, iFixit and third-party sellers; iFixit hosts numerous LG TV board and LED-strip guides. However iFixit's investigation names LG (with Samsung) among the worst for sharing official service documentation, so schematics come mainly from leaked-manual repositories. TVs have no parts pairing, so swaps aren't software-locked. As with all brands, panel replacement is not economical (part cost approximates a new set), capping the score.

Methodology & scope
Five dimensions are scored 0–100 and weighted equally: parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing and software freedom. The letter scale is A (90–100), B (80–89), C (70–79), D (60–69), F (below 60).
