Yes Convael, I totally understood what you are saying about the nature of OLED panel, banding and uniformity, it's more or less a lottery I reckon. The banding actually reduced a lot after I consistently played HDR movies only this past few days. Previously the banding was quite visible even at up to greyscale 35-40%. Now it's more or less within 15%-10% range.

My problem is this now, please see below. If there are only like 2-3 dead pixels around the edges, I am totally fine with it cause it will not affect my viewing for movies and even gaming with full screen. But the dead pixels are quite a lot and considering I have only used it for 200+ hours and I normally baby my stuff.

**For new OLED buyers, I am not trying to discourage you from buying an OLED Tv. This is just part and parcel of any OLED/LED display of any brands. My next TV will still be an LG/Sony OLED.

That's 3 too many. Better lodge a complaint and at the very least get them to inspect your TV.

Received a surprise call this morning that the panel arrived at the SC and they came to replace at 5pm. Whole process took less than 30 mins. Both technicians are very professional.

So far no dead pixels for the new panel.  thumbsup.gif

Nice. Hopefully they didn't miss any screws tongue.gif

Let's hope our new panels last the distance this time.

Now that prices seem to be on the downtrend, am planning to get a 48" C1 for my bedroom. Probably will be wall mounting it but don't think will get a sound bar/system due to space constraints.

When wall mounting, I understand you can't use the default stand that comes with the TV. Does anyone here have any experience using the TV without the stand and sound system? Is the sound quality still OK?

Appreciate any feedback. Cheers.

Hello gentlemen

Does anyone have a good TV installer they can recommend? I'm moving to my new place soon and will need someone who can install my LG GX on the wall (currently using TV stand).

Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

It's not the bolt wall plug that cannot withstand the weight, it's your drywall that cannot withstand it. Most drywalls are only 10mm thick, so unless you specifically request for higher quality gypsum boards (which ranges from 12.5mm to 15mm, higher density), the typical plasterboard drywall cannot withstand the weight of the TV.

And btw no one hangs TV on a drywall. You drill the bracket into the wall studs (usually 2x2 or 4x4 in size), THEN you hang the TV on the bracket.
*
Agree and this is my main concern. Currently building a dry wall at my TV mounting place but was wondering how to 'bridge' the gap/space between the dry wall and actual solid wall. Mounting a 65" TV solely on the dry wall is something I don't want to risk.

Create a 2x4 frame between the space. Make sure the bolts and screws directly into the 2x4 frame studs.

Thanks man. Pardon my ignorance, the frame will be made of wood?

Thanks bro. But the stain mark (oil like) from the fingers is very hard and almost impossible to get rid of just by using microfiber cloth. Any thoughts?
*
Can use special wipes for glasses (lens cleaning wipes). Can get on Lazada or Shopee. These are good for those oil smudges and stubborn marks.

Always try to use microfibre cloth first before using the wipes.

And I can attest to the toughness of the OLED panel. Just wall mounted my LG GX last week and there's no way you can lift a 65" panel without it flexing like mad. As long as you're reasonably careful while handling the TV, it's a lot tougher than you think.

Having said that, I still say a little prayer every time I pull the TV out to adjust cables or plug USB though.

Great advice, thanks! Can link the cleaning product that you have safely tried before?

Just do a search for "Carl Zeiss Wipes" or "Lens Cleaning Wipes".

Personally, I use the Carl Zeiss one at home for my glasses and occasionally the TV.

Hi All, I'm planning to get a LG C2 and I have a few question, lowest negotiated price is 8700,

1) Is it considered an OK price?
2) What is the dimension of the box? I'm planning to fit it into a CR-V.
3) Should I wait for C3? I don't see major improvement and I'd assume they won't make offer for new unit.
*
I think sharing the size would really help with your questions.

Oh sorry for missing the size, it's a 65'

To me that's a fair price. I think you should be able to fit the 65" box into a CRV as I was able to fit my LG GX 65" into my CRV as well.

C3 vs C2:

TL;DR I'd just take the C2.

Just a heads up. Good price for the LG 48" C2:

https://www.lazada.com.my//products/i223324...Ip&urlFlag=true

Possible to get at RM3.8K with full discount. I bought my LG GX from the seller so can vouch for them. Thought of getting one for my home, but my wife threatened to kill me in my sleep if I bought another TV.

Sometimes I feel so tiring looking at TV so close. I bought a 2nd 65" for myself and gave the old 65" for my kids which I installed on the wall. I still feel a bit big to watch from 10ft except when watching esport to see the details of the fights. Normally prefer to watch from 15ft away.
*
I used to think that as well. But the combination of 4K and OLED I believe has changed the ball-game somewhat.

I made the mistake of purchasing a 55" OLED first because I was afraid that the TV might be too big. Eventually upgraded to a 65". So, please don't be like me.

I dont think OLED changed anything. I think more of a personal preference. If watching TV from further back, I can focus on the whole screen without moving my head at all. When it got close, feels like I would missed the content from the edges.

Fair enough. Although personally, I've never experienced having to move my head to focus on various parts on the TV.

At the end of the day, buy what fits your lifestyle and budget.

Thank goodness the LG G2 doesn't come in 83". Not like I could afford it though, but still.

The stretch in terms of size between 65" to 77" isn't much but the price increase is about double. I think I remember now why I didn't go for 77" the last time I upgraded my TV. A price premium of 1.5x is something I may be able to stomach and would really tempt me to do something stupid.

Anyone have info / link to good Vesa Tv stand in Malaysia ?

Looking for something like Sanus VSTV but they not selling here.
The official G series stand doesn't look good for the money + low clearance for my soundbar.

Not trying to sound rude but I'm bit sceptical on those below RM100 stand in Lazada,  just afraid if it will cause TV to topple over.
