I concur. Have the SJ8.....for movies sitting center OK. For music or concerts, I switch to my bookshelf speakers. The soundbar just does not cut it. Sound stage narrow.

I have RM650 vouchers from Desa Home Theater and am selling for RM400. PM me only if you want to buy. Accept COD only and can meet up at a strategic location.

My LG 55 C8 will arrive tomorrow, cant wait to use it. Btw, do you guys know where can I buy the wall mount and i am planning to pair with good sound bar or sound system. budget arount 2K. Any suggestion? i am eyeing Yamaha YAS 207.

SenQ sells a wide selection of wall mount

800 hours done

New firmware is out.

What version? Current version should be 4.70.06

For C8 is 4.10.05

I bought good wall mount on lazada for a bargain. So far so good. Make sure tilt and swivel option available to access ports easily.
How about trying Bose soundbar, no experience but good reputation. U buy and review for us here

2k budget enough?

1.3k for AVR, 1.5k for a pair of good bookshelves.

I still don't understand why people die die also wanna spend 2k+ for a soundbar. Few hundred more and the experience is basically night and day.

Haha same here

Haha nice

55 here and already enough 4 myself

I only consider 65 and above when i snag million dollar mansion haha

Well, well, well. Looks like the latest C8/E8 firmware (4.10.05) has also introduced aggressive ABL algorithm just like the Sony AF8 and last year's C7 (which has been given a FW update this year to revert back to pre-aggressive ABL).

Pretty much means C8/E8 is pointless for gaming now.

B8 is not affected, but it's only a matter of time when the next firmware hits.

I have read about that , the latest firmware has altered the dimming algorithm which was confirmed by LG.
(This is no longer the case , Forbes 's John Archer was talking to LG 's engineer , who has clarified that the same dimming algorithm has always been applied to the LG OLEDs a while ago . But there are more people noticing brightness fluctuation now due to the increased amount of new LG OLED TV owners )

I've updated my c8 to the same firmware , so far I have yet to notice any sort of dimming from casual browsing through the Netflix , Youtube and other apps .

In order to recreate the issues I have tried leaving static elements on bright scenes for a period of time . What I 've noticed so far , there's a slight delay of transition from darker to brighter area probably due to the dimming algorithm . It is weird in a sense that it almost look like image retention at first (but it isn't ) as it fades away after 5-10 seconds . Think of it as a really crappy F.A.L.D algorithm that is delayed for 5-10 seconds.

It doesn't nearly dim the whole screen like C7 did last year but only the scenes with very high APL , particularly the part with a lot of fonts , game HUD & static elements .
If you are connecting your PC to the OLED , you may notice this issue much more frequently as the entire screen is filled with fonts and static elements (High APL).


To be fair , the LG 8 series are still probably the brightest OLED TVs out there , not just in terms of peak brightness .
They are able to retain that same level of brightness up to 70% of APL , which is quite remarkable as no other OLED Tv is capable of such feat.

In another word, You will barely notice any sort of screen dimming in 90% of the movies since they are mostly mastered at 30-70% APL .


P/S: Several 55 and 65 inches C8 users have also reported they didn't have the issue post update , which leads me to believe LG may be targeting specific region as they are planning to include Burn-Ins as part of the warranty in the European Region. B8 is not affected by the update , yet.
