Generally speaking, the mainline LG OLED has 2 variants: the C and G series. For last year's model, the C1 and G1 respectively, the G1 was using the EVO panel, while the C1 used the standard panel. The G1 was brighter than the C1, though that doesn't mean the C1 is bad by any means. Both the C1 and G1 has full HDMI 2.1 capabilities (4k/120, VRR, ALM).

There was also a lower end model, the A1, which was newly introduced last year. The A1 does not have full HDMI 2.1 capabilities though. So if you have any intention to use the current gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X) and enable those features, the A1 is not for you. It can only do 4k/60, with no VRR support.

There's also a B series too. I once owned an LG BX set, which did have full HDMI 2.1 support. For some reason, LG Malaysia did not bring in the B1 here. It would have been a better middle ground between the A1 and C1, since it would have been cheaper than a C1, but still had full HDMI 2.1 support. I'm not sure if LG would bring in the B2 this year. So, in order of price / performance:

A, B, C, G


All LG OLEDS have HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR support, so if you just want to use it for Netflix or Disney+, any of them will be fine. This year's model would be the A2, C2 and G2.

Ohhh, thanks. So if i dont use or plan to use gaming consoles, i wont feel the lack of full hdmi2.1 support?

Anyway, thanks! Its quite hard to find much info on the tiers for all the models. Now its clearer what to look for when i shop for it.

Pretty much yes. If you're not going to be gaming, the A1 (or A2) is enough for your needs. You still get those fantastic blacks and vibrant colors, and you still can use eARC to send audio to an AV amplifier or soundbar to get Dolby Atmos sound. And it's not that you can't use the TV for gaming; you just can't enable 120Hz mode and VRR (variable refresh rate). Considering most games don't even run at 120fps, this isn't exactly a giant issue. You can still hook up a PS5 and have a great time with the A series. Colors will still appear vibrant, blacks will still appear jet black, and you still get HDR output. However, do shop around for TV deals before making a decision. If the price difference between the A2 and C2 isn't big, just go for the C2. And of course, you can still find last year's model for cheaper prices these days.

Just came back from Courts Warehouse Sale in Shah Alam. Oh man, was really tempted to buy LG A1 48". There was 2 units on sale, 1 sold and only 1 left. Price is just RM2,309.

wow damn that is cheap. it is good for small room TV, or secondary TV, it is better than any normal led tv for rm2k TV out there.

Yeah... too bad I already bought a Hisense TV in 2020, X90J late last year and also get a free 43" tv from Unifi few months ago.

So sad didn't notice your comment earlier. Was looking for a cheap Oled TV for so long😢

Hey guys. I'm planning to buy a TV within a 5k budget. I was wondering if I should buy now or wait for future sales. I am not sure if got any upcoming sales so don't wanna regret it later when all the sweet deals are ongoing

Wait for 11.11 - it is usually the best time to buy.

Hi guys, i recently bought a LG C2 48" and have been enjoying it with my PS5.

However the CECC feature is bothering me as it switches on my PS5 whenever I switch on the TV. Switching it off will not allow me to on the TV automatically when i Switch on my PS5... my old sony tv allows me to use this feature only when switching on the PS5.

Any option for me to switch off "power sync" on the tv? Tried toggling the option in the secret menu (rapid press mute button) but it doesn't work...

Thanks!

If your input source when turning on TV is not stay as PS5 that HDMI port <-- then PS5 wont turn on

But kinda annoying last time when i own PS4 , headache and end up turn of HDMI Link feature in PS4.

While xbox does this HDMI CEC very well

Quite a hassle to switch to another hdmi after PS5 session. Also it switches to PS5 HDMI after quitting netflix and other apps.

Seems like I have to switch off CEC as well... thanks for your sharing!

The best sale usually is on 11.11, black Friday(if got in Malaysia) or 12.12 ? Any recommendation on which tv to get based on my budget?

Based on past experience, it will be 11.11 for online sales. Also look for rebates from LG if you buy during their promo period. I got my cashback (rm250) after 2 months of waiting lol.
