Oh ok. Did you have to raise the TV to clear the soundbar's height?

The stupid but honest reason I didn't buy a C9 was because the C8's screen sits higher on the stand xp

I actually put additional +/- 5cm wood board below C9 stand because the height is a little low where the sound bar will blocking the TV screen.

Good price. They seem to be selling the 65 at 10999 too. Very competitive.

Just got my Astro Ultra yesterday and try for watching movie Alita from Fox Movie and I must said although the source is 1080i but LG Oled handled it very very well, the colour is rich and manage as I use HDR effect for watching it. Impressive !!! and the 4k channel is impressive as well. Only worry is the logo at the corner ==!

But you also enjoy earlier. smile.gif and C8 is as great as C9. Nothing lose here unless you aim for gaming. Then probably you can wait for CX. biggrin.gif

All VESA brackets works with the C9. Just make sure they are rated to support the weight of the TV, the OLED is NOT light.

I'm hanging mine with a Sanus VLT6.

65 c9 they are selling for 9500 now. New set. They still got stock for 65.

I’m just lucky yesterday. When i arrived they said 55 c9 out of stock. Only display unit. Got 1 new but was reserved by someone. But later after pusing2 thinking want to buy display unit or not they offer me the reserved unit after call the customer. I quickly said yes.

Then you are wrong , or you are just THAT insensitive to PQ in general.

If we are only talking about OLED pros and cons , you could say all of them literally has the same PQ.
Then there wouldn't even be any needs for these annual TV shoutouts .


CX , C9 , C8 's Alpha 9 processors are more powerful than the Alpha 7 revision on the B series , which means they can afford to allocate more CPU power into post processing ( noise handling , gradient improving and so on ).
Most of the older content are still relying on post processing to look decent on 4k screens .

I recalled some times ago , someone was saying the Alpha 9 is roughly 30% faster than the Alpha 7 . Since theres no any major upgrades on the gen 2 specs , this should still hold some water in it .

Even if we are strictly talking about PQ , nope .

If it isn't obvious by now , B series have been getting downgrades year after year . LG isn't stupid , they knew people have been buying the cheaper B series over the pricier C series because they were too similar .

B9 peaks @ 500+-nits while the C8 can potentially go up to 700 - 800 nits . The difference is something perceivable by human eyes even without colorimeter .
Losing 200-300 cd/m2 of peak brightness will directly translate into a less wowing HDR performance .

Think about it , the Panasonic grading suite levels of GZ2000 is " only " about 100 nits brighter than the C9 but cost almost twice as much in UK now , that gives you an idea how much people are craving for brighter pictures on OLEDs.

Also the fact that the B series were often getting neglected when it comes to firmware updates .
For eg, the last time I checked ( which is several months ago ) the B8 has yet to receive the near black macro blocking patch as well . The C and E series have got them for about 10 months now .


In a nutshell , B9 is undoubtedly great value for your $$ and is equipped with HDMI 2.1 ports because it is the newer model , that's about it .
I supposed if you have all the tools and experience ready to calibrate the B9 , perhaps you still can make the screen to still look really natural and accurate but most people don't .
