Last year free soundbar is which model? Must provide the original tax invoice?
I plan to have my delivery later near Dec 2018. That could be a problem for me even entitled the free soundbar.

compare SJ8 vs SK8 which is better? hmm

I got the SJ8 however I had no experience in using it coz I sold it off. I have a SJ9 though in my JB house and it sounds good in a small room with standard ceiling height for its Atmos effects. Nothing spectacular but for my usage it's sufficient. SK8 I only listened at the shop so can't say much about it.

Got my 65" C8 today. My God it feels huge in my SOHO unit! laugh.gif Though I had one Samsung 65" JU7500 back then, this one somehow feels huge maybe because previous Samsung was a curved TV.

I didn't let the delivery guys installed it for me coz I've read a lot of online feedbacks regarding top panel bending due to bad handling of the panel.

Bad handling or panel? You mean some sort of pressing the panel during installation?

Bad handling of the panel. The recommended ways of doing it is actually in the small leaflet when you open the top portion of the box and a lot of YouTube videos are not showing the correct ways of installing the panel to the bottom stand.

I just don't trust other people to handle my OLEDs because of the thin upper portion of the panel plus they'd treat the OLED like some kind of thick LCD. Rough handling, front panel pressing due to not following manufacturer's recommended guides etc. I'll post the snapshot of the leaflet later on.

I've been using the TV speakers for a while now while waiting for my Soundbar and I've gotta say it sounds quite good considering the thin profile of the TV. Got a few sound modes that you can play with, Standard, Dialogue, Cinema etc. Depending on the source it can sound underwhelmed at first eg; dialogues seem muffled but changing the sound profiles improve the experience. Not perfect definitely since there are only TV speakers but good enough to those who don't want or don't have the budget yet to get a proper sound system. My 2 cents.

One thing I notice straight away is its improved motion handling compared to my C7.

I found I have to change BOTH the region and the service location to install.

But you still have to use VPN to access the disney and netflix usa program? And we can't install vpn on LG tv. I have tried a Smart DNS and it doesn't work. Somehow Neflix detected it as proxy

You can try ExpressVPN DNS trial first. I think it still works.

Or a better and most convenient way would be to find a cheap, used Asus AC86U and set it up as a sole VPN router. This router at its current price gives a very good VPN speed. I manage to get a sustained 100Mbps+++ speed on a US server.

Just got 48" C1 at RM4,888 from SenQ. Pity those who never had the patience and POed at RM7K+ when it was launched.
Was contemplating to get the larger size however maybe not now since the starting price is a little bit on the greedy side of LG My. Bloody hell 65" RM15k wtf are they thinking? And don't give me that craps of gifting the "soundbar" FOC. LG My is slowly becoming Samsung My.

I've been using LG OLED since C7 era and few things that stand out from the past OLED models (skipped CX) that I had are the responsiveness and the motion handling. I put it on a mobile stand bought from Shopee. Put it right in front of my eyes and now it looks big. Perspective guys. laugh.gif

i saw LG C1 65" on Senheng website listed as rm16k, and discounted to rm13k.. is this a marketing gimmick where its actually rm13k but they make it look like a good offer, or is it really good sale?

https://www.senheng.com.my/lg-c1-65-inch-4k...21-lg-65c1.html

Only LG My knows what is the 'real' price for the 65" C1 but RM16k is definitely ain't it. RM13k is still a little bit too expensive but acceptable and I personally think this is the 'launch' price for the size. Wait a little bit more if you're able.

Having said this, the only drawback of the C1 for me is the new UI. Too many useless things are being cramped on the screen, it isn't as fluid as the old WebOS. Laggy at times. Miss the simplicity of the old one.

Is there a 83G4 in the horizon for Malaysia? Was the 83G3 released last year?

Checked LG My site and max for G4 is 77" only. They have the 83" C4 though but current price is still too goddamn high.
