No one knows yet this. But at rm7k plus now, if it can serves more than 5 years with superb pq, its already so damm worth. Im expecting this B6 to last 7 years at least. Hope lg doesnt dissapoint me.

But if you are looking for proven more than 10 years quality type, then lcd led is the choice

I have a 9 year old LCD (Sony Bravia KLV40V-400A) that's still working fine without any problems

Similarly, my 6 year old plasma (Panasonic Viera 50VT20K) is still going strong

My LG OLED65E6 is only 3 weeks old so far... hopefully it has the same lifespan as my Sony

OLED does suffer from kmage retention to some degree, but not as bad as plasma. I have not encountered any problems with my E6 (although to be fair it's only 3 weeks old)

But unless you're using it as a PC monitor or using it to display static images for long periods of time, this wouldn't be an issue with standard use.

I have a 6 year old plasma used mainly to watch BDs and play games, never had any serious image retention problems. I expect current OLEDs to be the same.

I felt appliances no longer like the old days, one TV can watch for 20 years no problem. Now i give 3 years, anythings more is bonus.

Hack, even Car no longer as lasting comparing the old days.

I seen the LG OLED, the color are superb, but price is way too expensive. Hoping they drop below 5k for 55".

Just had a lengthy hands on with the C7, definitely a noticeable improvement over the 6 series last year.

The 2 main improvements that I really like are:

1) The purple tint that is prevalent with reflections is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced over the last year's models. I never liked the purple tint, it was always distracting to me so I could never use my E6 even in a moderately bright room. The C7, even while pointing a spotlight at it does very well in comparison. There's still a purple hue on the screen, but it's a lot less annoying to my eyes.

2) The above black levels are quite a bit more balanced now. A lot less black crush in HDR content. For SDR content, black and just above black levels are less drab than last year's models.


One other noticeable improvement (although not as significant) is that temporary IR can be cleared up within 10 minutes. My E6 needs at least 40+ mins to entirely clear up the screen. There are a few more other minor improvements, which at a whole isn't much to talk about (better input lag, but it's really only 5ms better... so, whateves).

Seriously considering to sell the E6 and get the 65" C7 instead. I get some extra pocket money but a better TV overall.

I bought a LG OLED 55C6T on the 25th last month and it was delivered to me on the 27th. Today is the 8th which means that I had the TV for 11 days and guess what. There is a very visible vertical line on the screen already with another shorter but less visible vertical two inches away. ELEVEN DAYS!!! vmad.gif Anybody out there having this problem or is my unit an anomaly? Logged into the LG Malaysia website and there is a webpage where I can email in and guess what. After filling in all the required information blah blah blah, I hit the SUBMIT button and the damned thing won't work (broken link or not linked at all). bangwall.gif

Agreed with bro Ben, the purple tint is very disturbing. I felt very difficult to watch with home downlight turn on and get reflected on the screen. To enjoy this I have to turn off my home 4 direct downlights and to turn on 3 bulbs at the side walkway instead turning on all 7 bulbs together.

The only thing I hate on this panel is the "oled light" when turn above 50 on white images it's over bright and it's causing strain on my eyes and it's not comfortable to watch. I had to turn it down to or below 38 to suit my eyes. Maybe I have eye glare issue.

You better to call Malaysia LG hotline support to get it replaced quickly. Well so far you are the only one I have heard off or read on internet having this issue.

Called them just now and the CS rep took down all my details and says that their technicians will call me within 3 days. Haiz. Paid 8,999 for it and it barely lasted 11 days. Actually it lasted about 5 days cos I bought it for my daughter's room and she didn't get back from her holidays until the 3rd last week. Switched it on max 4 times and already the screen defect.

Wouldn't even have considered LG except for the OLED screen. I usually buy Sharp TV, in fact I have another 3 Sharp TVs here. Except for the 70" (which also had LED screen problem after 1+ years) all the rest are functioning quite well (touch wood).

The Sharp technicians came the following working day to replace the LED screen. No waiting for them (LG) to call me up within 3 days to set an appointment. Mitsubishi service centre is the worst of them all. My fridge conked out a few years back and called them in to repair it. They borrowed me another fridge and took mine back for repairs (twice) cos the first time didn't work and the second time as well. Ended up calling an old Cina Apek who fix fridges and he came in immediately and got it fixed. No problems since then up till now. Bad thing was that he left his screw driver inside the fridge that he had to come back a few hours later to retrieve it as it was behind the back panel of the freezer.

The screens are supplied by few suppliers only, be it Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, etc. Sony, Panasonic, Sharp will have OLED also and all the screen panel would be from LG. Well, OLED is expensive still biggrin.gif

Sharp is not doing well. Looks like Samsung takes a bite on everyone. Sharp sold Mexico factories to Hisense which includes rights to use the Sharp brand name and all its channel resources in North and South America, except Brazil. This meant that Sharp has exited the TV market in the Americas (except Brazil). Sharp is still the biggest TV brand in Japan though. biggrin.gif
