I am aware that this is an LG OLED Thread but these information of Sony A90J will serve as a reference of how the upcoming G1 will perform .

A quick reminder , Sony doesn't drive their OLED as hard (bright) as other brands .


We have some information on A90J thanks to AV/s and DeWayne Davis .


- Confirmed to be TV-LED via Dolby Vision.

- New setting in HDR mode , with brightness or gradient preferred options .

- OOTB custom brightness on A90J is around 800 nits on 2 , 5 , 10% , 175 nits for 100% .

- 2 x HDMI 2.1 , like last year Dolby Vision 120 hz is still not supported , not too big of a deal atm .

- Both HDMI 2.1 ports will have a peak transfer bitrate of up to 48 gbps .



Several electronic shops I know from the AV field in China have also gotten the TV but they don't calibrate it . Mostly some side by side comparison screen shot .
I would suggest not to take them seriously as still shots can't really do a TV PQ Justice .

A90J around June , C1 May-June .

That is assuming it is shipping on time .

A90J is available in the oversea , we should get it in about 2-3 months .


A80J , on the other hand has not yet released officially in the UK . It was taking pre-order though .

We never had both A9 and A8 launching at the same time in MY , the A8F launched before the A9F , while A9G launched before the A8G .


Samsung typically releases their 2021 line up first before LG , followed closely by Sony.

Very big assumption , that is .

Whatever happens oversea , does not necessarily apply to us .
We have never had anything bigger or smaller than 65 " from the G series .


If the price is lower , it will sell like a hotcake thus we will not be getting any leftover since the production units of these " EVO " panels are limited .
But then MY not being the market LG focused on is not exactly unreasonable .


Considering plenty of people in this forum ( and country ) looking at their crappy 1:1000 contrast IPS monitor still think OLED is nothing but gimmick , it will require more than sales to convince LG to change their mind .

Nothing to do with the purchase power too , we have a bunch of people who are willing to import a $10k phone but a 5k tv is far too expensive for them .

Some numbers here on G1 from fellow calibrator so big props to him.







TL;DR :

1. G1 is not as bright as many would have expected , 740 cd/m2 peak and full field 170 cd/m2 .

2. G1 is still slightly dimmer than Panasonic GZ2000 .

3. Very accurate out of the box , even more so when calibrated properly .

4. new webOS 6.0 is a punch in the gut .

Desahome is selling 65 " C9 for 8999 , E9 for 9999 .


6999 for 55 " CX , 1500 voucher rebate + 300 touch and go .


I still can't , in my conscience recommend the BX to anyone especially if you don't calibrate your screen . The basic toolkit you will need probably end up costing you a lot more than buying a CX .


If you are eyeing for the OLED you must care , even just a wee bit about Picture Quality and the BX is counterproductive to that intent.
But LG want to sell their C series , they will continue to land nerf hammers on the B series .

If you really can't spare that $1000 difference , just buy the C9 from 2019 instead . They seem to be in similar price range with BX right now .

Its on their facebook .

I am fairly sure he is talking about the soundbar , not the 8K TV if that's what you mean .


I can count on one hand how many 8K Samsung TVs they have sold in MY last year and I have most of them in my contact list .

Yes , I can confirm that LG MY is indeed planning to release its 48" C1 here in 2021 .

Note here , the keyword being " Planning " .
Things can always change last minute .

But if nothing go wrong , yes you should be able to to purchase 48" C1 in MY .


They are also scheduled to release 65" and 55 " version of the more affordable A1 models here later this year .

LG OLED 48" CX


And no , my source does not come from SG , nor from LG-SG .



This post has been edited by Convael: Apr 11 2021, 05:25 PM

Nope , we didn't have any 48" OLED back in the 2019 (C9) .


But the stocks in SG are also very limited last year , here is hoping things are ramping up to full force this year .


Looking at the bright side , we will be getting many more OLED models , providing more options to the audience .
That means some of the mid-range LCD audience too will get to experience true black in a more affordable way .

The 60 hz A1 should also be making their appearance later this year so it is a win-win situation for TV audience in MY .

No , there was no commercial 48 " OLED back in the 2019 either , which means 48 " C9 never did exist .

No idea but the offer is still on their facebook . So you may want to message them over there .

No news on the price , yet . But I don't suppose it will stray too far away from last year's MSRP .

Look for their manager Ryan . He can give you a better deal .


I am not affiliated with Desahome in anyway so I want to remain neutral from these .

Doesn't look like we will be getting G1 in MY anytime soon , if at all .


C1 - 48 " , 55 " , 65 " , 77 "

A1 - 55 " , 65 "

B1 - 55 " , 65 "

NANO75 - 43 " , 50 " , 55 " , 65 " , 75 " , 86"

NANO80 - 55" , 65"

NANO86 - 55 " , 65 " , 75 "



Catalogs should be up after Raya .

Not simultaneously but over the year , just like last time .



No news on the QNED yet .

It will not stray too far away from the 55 " .

These 48" are selling like a hotcake because they make a great monitor, therefore it will only be available in very limited quantity .

I expect it to land @ around $8000 MSRP at launch . I could be wrong , surprise us LG MY .

This post has been edited by Convael: Apr 22 2021, 09:07 PM

Probably around 15k , if you are planning to buy at launch .

If you drive a hard bargain you can lower it to 12k ish , perhaps .

I try not to talk about pricing on TVs too much because I actually know how much profit these retailers make from each unit .


Places like SH , HN makes a crap lotsa money for each high end unit they have sold because they are the brand's favorite customers .
Even more so for those overpriced QLEDs .


If you are still craving for that " EVO " OLED panel , we have 65 " A90J this year .


But looking at the recent reviews , can't exactly recommend it over the " regular " models .
