Went there last night. The staff said that price was for display unit. New C7 best price 7.7k. Sigh

I see. They didn't write it was for display unit last month IIRC. My bad.

No worries. Ill need to check desa home theater on their latest price

Astro Go is now available on WebOS. Last couple of months there has been quite a few apps released on WebOS..not too shabby. WebOS has always lagged terms of apps but the UI has always been pretty quick compared to Samsung Tizen and Android TV OS...now with more apps it's coming close overall.

Congrats!

I also poison by the C8. So preetyyy. I think i will get that instead, but I will wait until LG throw in a soundbar or something significant.

I spoke to an LG engineer earlier today - particularly asking if Freesync as a future firmware update is possible on the 8 series OLEDs or not and he said, unfortunately "most probably not".

Do yourself a favor and get it

I waiting for free soundbar :-p

And I'm waiting for 77" C8.... come on LG Malaysia!

Soon in Lazada should have

Wow! That shud be the G or W oled

There is a 77" C8. The whole point for the 77" C8 to exist is so that people can buy a bigger OLED without paying an exorbitant amount of money for the W series.

The W8 is pointless to me because the price is inclusion of the soundbar in addition to its design. The soundbar is absolutely useless for me considering my audio setup. Just want the best and biggest picture quality at a sane price point instead of all that extra fluff.

I hear you.. it would be so cool to watch on 77inch

Spent the last several days , testing my C8 . This bad boy is kicking some serious asses .


I must say I particularly love the new BFI on C8 , I can sit closer to the TV without getting dazzled by all the hardcore action scenes now .


Also for gamers , the new dynamic tone mapping makes a Day and night difference for gaming . Wouldn't recommend it for movies though , especially those mastered in Dolby vision are already very bright .


Last year they patched the OLED with a nerf on the brightness and APL , causing the a lot of games , such as Horizon Zero to look way too dark. You can offset this by turning on dynamic contrast, however this cause a lot of details to be lost behind the brighter area. The dynamic tone mapping is different , they analyze metadata and selectively brighten zone or object carefully with the new a9 CPU , the result is HDR highlight and zones that look a lot more iluminating than any OLED TV, yet retaining most of the fine and delicate details on screen .




I know a lot of reviewers say it isn't worth the upgrade from last year , but that is because they are not primarily gamers . For me , this feature alone is good enough of a reason to upgrade from last year's model.



My verdict : if you are a gamer , the C8 along with other 8 series ( except B8 ) are probably the most amazing TV money can buy now . The AF8 seem to still struggle with input lag , and Sony's OLED approach to the HDR just doesn't seem right to me , they choose to go for the brighter route and overblown the HDR details , one of purposes of getting a good HDR display was to check out all the glorious details behind the bright and colorful lights to begin with .

Very good review. Glad to hear the picture quality is much better with the latest model. Too bad i won't be gaming on it. Too concerned my long gaming hours might lead to some problems for the TV. I'll game on another hdr tv.

Depends on what games you will be playing, they have a new Logo luminance settings now where the TV will dim the logo so it will not appear too bright . According to LG this will reduce the burn-in chance . But nobody can confirm this as the TV is still fairly new
