Better buy 4k la bro. Future proof.

As you might expect, the LG OLED TVs made a big splash at the company’s CES press conference. The 2017 lineup includes four model lines that are direct descendants of the 2016 models—B7, C7, E7, and G7—along with a new line designated W7.

Like last year, all 2017 models exhibit essentially the same performance; the differentiators between model lines are features and cosmetics. Among the highlights of the new models is a 25% increase in brightness—LG claims they can reproduce up to 1000 nits in small areas of the image. Also, the new OLEDs cover 99% of the DCI/P3 color gamut, a slight increase over the 97% achieved by last year’s models. And like all OLEDs, the new models achieve virtually perfect black levels thanks to the emissive nature of the technology. In fact, all will be certified as UHD Premium by the Ultra HD Alliance.

Another feature common to all the 2017 OLEDs is Dolby Atmos capability, though it’s not clear if this will be via HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) or what. In addition, all offer compatibility with HDR10 and Dolby Vision high dynamic-range content, and they will also support HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) after a firmware update. A feature called Active HDR emulates dynamic metadata with HDR10 and HLG content; Dolby Vision uses dynamic metadata, which can result in a better overall HDR picture because each scene can have its own metadata rather than a single set of metadata for the entire program.

Almost as interesting is what the new OLED TVs don’t have. First, all are flat; there are no curved models this year (huzzah!). And none have 3D capabilities.

The entry-level B7 will be available in 55″ and 65″ screen sizes with a “Blade Slim” design, while the C7 features a premium aluminum stand and bezel in the same screen sizes. The next step up is the E7 with LG’s “Picture on Glass” design and a soundbar stand in screen sizes of 55″ and 65″.

LG’s “Signature” designation now applies to two model lines, the G7 and W7, both of which will be available in 65″ and 77″ sizes. The G7 sports the Picture on Glass design and a foldable soundbar stand, while the new W7 features a design called “Picture on Wall” with unique hardware that lets you mount it nearly flush to the wall. It also includes a Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbar that delivers 3.2.0 Atmos sound.

As usual at CES, pricing was not announced, but the new OLED TVs are expected to ship in April. I’ll post more about these sets once I get a good, up-close look at them, so stay tuned!

Just bought mine 55B6T so far so good

Mind to share how much and where you bought it? 

Nice. Hopefully can get it in Malaysia soon. I am targeting 65E6 model if price drops. If not then go for E7 model. Any idea in the past how much the old model price drops?

I just got my 65E6 from Harvey Norman Ikano a few days ago 😊

Their current sticker price is RM17999, but they are definitely open for haggling. I was only able to bring it down to RM16400 though, but I suck at this anyway 😝

Good luck 👍

Anyone know if the 55B6 have dropped price so far? Is it still come with the free soundbar? Last i checked the price is still RM8688 at Harvey Norman, they said can get more discount probably around RM8044? But they did not mentioned any free soundbar tho..

RM 7399 at 11street.my
