Yes, B7 is basically a C7 in a slightly different design. If you can get the B7 cheaper, go for that.

Desa Home Theater rep said all their C7 55" sold out

Didn't you get the 1.3k coupon from nagapelangi? Spend it on the C8?

They will soon or have stopped production since c8 is out. My unit is April2018 made.

Yes , they use the exact same panel , only difference is the stand.



Unfortunately this is not going to be the same case for this year's B8 . The upcoming B8 will use a less advanced a7 processor , compare to the C8 's a9 .
I expect the B8 to be more affordable , but some minor drop in picture quality without some of the more advanced ( but not too useful ) feature found in the C8 / E8 / W8

According to this pretty in-depth Polish review, difference between the B8 and C8 is almost inconceivable. Not surprising because the B8 is basically a rebadged C7.

Now the issue is, in the west the B8 is only $200 MSRP less than the a C8. Street prices would be even lower than that, so I don't see the point of the B8 at all either considering the price difference would be no more than RM1k here.

Desa Home is selling the 65 LG C7 new set for 12999. Can consider too

Wow! So fast reduce price. Just last 2 weeks it was 8999.

For those looking to get LG 65" HDR Smart UHD OLED TV OLED65C8PTA, lazada has a good offer. Seem legit.

Product page non-existent.

I've manage to bought it for 12.5k. Don't know if it an error. Still processing though

That's a steal of the year if your purchase succeed. 65" won't reach RM12.5k even if somehow MYR reach RM3.5 = 1USD this year.

That's more or less the distributor price I think (67% of the original price ) . They don't make much from it .
I got mine at around the same price , but via some not so ... safe channel from a seller friend.


Again most sales guy in the shop can't even tell the difference between c7 and c8 ... so I hope this is genuine .


So yea @J-HAM do let us know if you end up getting a new , authentic C8 at the same price .
Make sure its coded " PTA" , that's the local unit .

A friend of mine is selling C7 65 for 10K less than 3 months old. He is leaving the country for good. TV is in good condition.

I read differences between C7 and C8. C8 65 can get for 15K now.

I was nevering looking for this size Oled but now undecided.

I play PS4 Pro games and movies. Is it worth buying C7 or buy C8 after price drop?

Agreed


From what I gathered , these are pretty much the only difference


1) Image processing - the B8 is only restricted to dual steps when it comes to the picture enhancing and noise reduction , instead of the highly advertised Quad step from C8 , not like most video purist use this feature anyway . On theory , the C8 should have a slightly more accurate picture enhancement due to having increased color points reference. As you said this may not be visible to the bare eyes


2) the a9 CPU uses a 33x33x33 for their internal 3D L.U.T cube ( 35937 color data points reference) , the a7 (B8) can only do 17x17x17 (4913 color data points) , fewer color interpolation runs are needed for more accurate colors on the C8 ++ models , less room for mistakes . Another not so impactful feature to the consumers , more useful to the calibrators.


3) Both processor can technically decode and run 4k + 120 fps (HFR) videos via USB / internal apps , but the C8 can do HDR + HFR simultaneously , a7 (B8) is restricted to only one task at one time . More of a future proof measurement since there are hardly any HFR consumer content around. Some reviewers also speculate the a9 processor may be able to decode 8k at 60 fps via firmware updates in the future.


These new features aren't crucial or groundbreaking in any ways (at least for now) , I would still spend a little bit more on the C8 ++ series for the peace of mind .

I suggest you get a C8 , since you are a gamer . Dynamic tonemapping in game mode on C8 make your HDR games look better.


If you watch more movies than playing games , then go for a C7 instead.


10k is a good price for a 65 inches 3 months old OLED c7, Desa home is still selling the same model for 12k++
Make sure to check for signs of burn in or image retention if you end up buying .

If you ask me, C7 is unplayable for games due to the firmware that decreased brightness (and it's a lot) to preserve specular highlights in game mode. My C7 is un-updated, I've disconnected from the internet a long time ago and that's the only reason I'm still sticking with it.

I think you should go for the C8 instead.

same thing when B6 to C7. the rting said not much different. thus better get a b6 than getting a c8. LOL
