There is a big difference between Oled and LED tv. LG's UHD all suffer from poor contrast and black levels.However the Oled is a different story, worldwide from users and reviewers rate it as the best and second to none. If you buy Lg, only go for the Oled. |

I'm using the LG Oled.
Yes great pictures. For 3D however I think Samsung is better. The 3D does not seem as clear or consistent as Samsung. |

i had a long dilemma, coming from myself preferring plasma and previous tv is plasma (pioneer kuro) which is still going strong albeit different location.
black, contrast, accurate color is the major key factors, well at least to me. oled brings back memories of viewing kuro for the first time and in some reviews people are saying its better. in other words, oled is on par or better than the reference level plasma, back then even 42" kuro is like 7-8k if im not mistaken.. |

Yes, they are using LG's oled panels, but Panasonic's video processing and whatever else they put into their tvs is much better resulting in that TV being rated better than LGs. This is all based on online professional reviews of course, but seeing what Panasonic is able to do with their IPS models vs LGs, it is quite obvious that Panasonic makes better tvs.LG have been slacking a bit due to their monopoly on Oleds. Their LCD tv range which used to be very good is now very mediocre. They seem to be focussed on oleds alone. I wonder if LG will sell their Oled panels to other manufacturers as well so that there can be more competition and choices for customers. |

Not suitable for dark room movies but otherwise good for living room. But the premium price makes it not worth buying at all.http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/uf9500, this is similar to uf950T. |

Actually that's the main criteria for good PQ, and why OLED is better than led due to pure plack and ability to turn on and off individual pixels. LG tvs all suffer from non existent black and only can churn out dark grey colour. This is also an indication of using cheapo panels.china tv tech is catching up nowadays, mi tv & le tv is 1 of the good sample, haier & hisense is abit slow in malaysia market but china do hav alot of latest & good model... |

QUOTE(Alexcsyan @ Jan 20 2016, 02:15 PM) true, but price will also affect their sales as well... Its a high margin low volume vs low margin high volume game. It could be better for them to sell the panels to others so that oled becomes more mainstream and the market share becomes bigger. I think this strategy makes sense as they will be able to sell more panels compared to the much smaller numbers now. Anyhow, its up to LG to decide the best way to milk their technological advantage. |

Never really have chance to test out OLED, only have chance to test out UHD at two of my friend house, one was Samsung and another was Sony forgot the model. For demo, presentation, photo viewing is good. But for actual movie viewing my 2cents suck, better off with FHD.
I will wait for OLED to be < RM5k (hopefully) to replace my Plasma. |

QUOTE(lightastral @ Jan 20 2016, 04:17 PM) thats make oled 55ec930t at 7xxx is a good deal bru 4K itself is not a big game changer but the higher end 4K TVs come with WCG, bright panel, better black levels and HDR capabilities. These definitely make a difference as 1080p TVs are not going to have these changes and as a result the difference between 1080p Tvs and 4K Tvs are very obvious. When UHD Premium Tvs come out later this year with proper HDR, then this will be a major game changer. reference level at that price tbh 4k to me is not that much of a game changer Content is scarce though and prices are high, no point waiting for it now. |

LG is using passive 3D for all its TVs, picture frames are interlaced. Unlike Samsung or Panasonic which are using active 3D.
I did compared 3D mode for both FHD and 4K version of LG OLED, the 4K version gives much better picture quality, even it is still interlaced. |

Last week I saw a LG 55” OLED TV (Full HD, not UHD ) on Hxxxx Nxxxxx selling at RM8.3K, what surprise me is the display unit is new model ( EG9100 ), not currently model ( EC9300) as in LG Malaysia website, the most obvious different on outlook is the TV stand , old one have leaf shape base, new one have more conventional base plate design.
very tempting to get one, the contrast & color are so freaking awesome ! This post has been edited by Sgt_Pepeer: Apr 4 2016, 02:55 PM |

Finally i brought it, the 55” EG910T model, by all the default picture mode it didn't look very good, contrast too harsh, colors are over saturated, shadow detail fall into crush black and the worst part is fine line & edge looks very jaggy, Using “Expert Mode 1”, do some tweaking recommended by Cnet, and it look super-duper amazing. although it cant compare to HDR brightness but it’s bright enough for me.
i tested with “Pacific Rim “ blu ray, during cockpit scene at jaeger, dark internal obtain detail very well & solid, the colourful hologram looks almost like 3D pop out from the screen, even though i just played 2D version. although passive 3D always have resolution problem, but on this TV it looks so amazing because it didnt require to boost up the backlight, so black level remain as solid as in 2D playback. it looks super clean & solid. when i first turn on this TV i notice there’s vertical color bending on left side during plain grey color background, i thought maybe the it’s a faulty unit or maybe the TV need to warm-up, but after 3 hours it still remain there, then i switch off & go for dinner, after i back & switch on the tv again magically the bending totally gone, very strange . Conclusion : OLED is the new Plasma  |

at this price around 7K, samsung 55JS8000 (6k at Desa) is cheaper yet support contrasts.
i am thinking 55js8000 might be better than ec910t most retailer are getting rid of 2015 models. i wonder when is samsung K model and others going to launch ? date ? This post has been edited by ccschua: May 23 2016, 01:28 PM |

Oled is the best picture quality you can find, doesn't matter what you watch.Let's put it simply if you have a beautiful girl, she will look beautiful wherever she is and whatever she wears. If you have an average girl, she will be average no matter where she goes or what she wears. |

I got my... UH950T and love it to the max. Form factor it's as thin as OLED yet i'ts LED/LCD. Clarity wise.... imho better than the rest. Put aside all the demos all the brands are showing which are all scenic. You'll have to watch an actual movie clip in FHD (is enuf) and notice the area between the eyes or nose. You'll see the difference....
all in all i'm happy....except for one thing. The TV is NOT BIG ENOUGH! |

Is RM8,599 inclusive of GST and 5 years extended warranty for the C6 a good price now? No free gifts though.
The picture quality is good and I'm so tempted by the price, but not sure if it has quality issue with its panel and overall build or not. Anybody who owns a C6 care to comment if the build quality is good? |

I'm up north in Penang. I couldn't find the C6 in display at any of the big retailers - Harvey Norman, SenQ and Best Denki. Finally manage to see a display unit at one of the authorized LG retailers shop. All the big retailers are displaying the old models.
Still thinking hard whether to purchase it or not. |

The only flat screen 4K OLED available right now is the E6, and it comes at 65" for now. The MSRP is RM23K if I'm not mistaken. The smaller 55" is somehow not available in Malaysia, at least for now. And so is the lower priced flat screen B6, which is also not available.
I couldn't afford the 65" E6 and I can't wait for the B6, so I took the plunge and bought the curved C6 3 weeks ago @ RM9K with 5 year warranty and insurance. Could have done away with the insurance @ RM8.6K but decided to spend that extra RM400 just to have a peaceful mind knowing that whatever shit happens to it within the 1st 2 years, I will get a 1-to-1 replacement. The 55" for older models 910T and 930T both cost close to RM7K and RM8K respectively in most of the shops I asked around. Both are non 4K and non 3D. |

Besides Harvey Norman, I haven't seen any OLED tvs being sold anywhere else here in Malaysia. Haven't been to Courts yet. What about the other outlets like Senq, Seng Heng, Giant, Legend etc. ? Do you think they sell LG OLED TV?

To those who choose to buy LG OLED tv pls beware that their TV break down easily and their repair service SUX.
I bought a 55EG910T from Harvey Norman Paragon in June this year. By early September the smart TV conk out making most the TV functions inaccessible. A visit by their technician made the problem worse and after he did some service setting the TV just brick and stuck at the service setting screen.

QUOTE(Sgt_Pepeer @ Oct 20 2016, 10:58 AM) yes both are smart tv, using LG’s own WebOS system, more detail here : http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/smart Thanks for the information, if i use to watch astro, can say both provide the same quality?930 is a older model ( some country call it 9300 ), feature & performance wise almost identical, except : - 930 have 4 HDMI input, 910 only have 3 - 910 have better remote control ( more buttons ) - most obvious different is the TV stand, 930 have a organic curve stand, 910 have more conventional design stand if you can find a older 930 in much cheaper price, maybe it’s a good buy since both almost same, but if you have extra money I would suggest you skip both and get the latest 4K model. |

QUOTE(erictanyh @ Oct 17 2016, 10:57 AM) Hi all; The B6 is not available in Malaysia, at least not for now yet, the last I checked. I just couldn't wait and took the plunge and bought the C6 instead. You'll be lucky if you could even find a shop with a display unit for the new B/C/G/E series OLED, much less ready stock for sale right away. Most shops are still displaying either the 910T or the 930T or some with 970T. I had to wait close to a week for my unit to arrive.I'm interested on LG OLED 55" B6T..... Any advice where can i get it with the best price?? Many shop don't have stock due to this is very new model??? |

The 5 year warranty is standard and is included in the purchase price. The insurance on the other hand requires extra payment, more than the price of extended warranty. The insurance premium for my C6 is actually around RM1200 for 5 years coverage. With insurance, i get 1-to-1 replacement within the 1st 2 years, regardless of what happen to my TV, even if i accidentally break it. Now whether that amount is worthwhile or not, it's subjective. |

Upscaling will not be as good as having a real 4K source. The X Box One S is an affordable 4K BluRay player to have compare to an actual 4K BluRay player. I would say get either one if you can afford it. But do bear in mind that there isn't a lot of 4K BluRay titles, although it will get more moving forward.

Plz share ur opinions. I'm on an E6 and while it looks amazing, desktop use is mediocre at best. Reason? Input lag and temporary image retention.Playing at 4k60p, the input lag is around the mid-30s. Using a controller is mostly acceptable for most games, other than fighting (gg SFV), shmups and twitchy-FPS games like Overwatch. However if using a mouse, the input lag is just simply too high. It's like dragging a cursor through a swamp, similar to how you turn enable v-sync + mouse acceleration bullshit options. So no, using a mouse on the E6 for me is impossible. According to rtings, the C6 is quite similar to the E6 in input lag. So, yeah my experience should apply to you too if you want to use the C6 as a monitor. Then there's image retention. While permanent burn-in of images is quite difficult, temporary image retention is very easy to happen. Using the TV as a desktop means that one would usually do the casual internet browsing or whatever "casual" desktop usage. The images can get temporarily stuck on screen and it becomes a huge annoyance over time. It takes about 10-15 minutes of IR recovery from within the TV each time to clear up the images, which to say the least for desktop usage is basically forever if you have to do it EVERYDAY. |

 CES 2017 QUOTE As you might expect, the LG OLED TVs made a big splash at the company’s CES press conference. The 2017 lineup includes four model lines that are direct descendants of the 2016 models—B7, C7, E7, and G7—along with a new line designated W7. Oh man, the W7 is definitely only for the super rich. Will be even more expensive than last year's G6 model.Like last year, all 2017 models exhibit essentially the same performance; the differentiators between model lines are features and cosmetics. Among the highlights of the new models is a 25% increase in brightness—LG claims they can reproduce up to 1000 nits in small areas of the image. Also, the new OLEDs cover 99% of the DCI/P3 color gamut, a slight increase over the 97% achieved by last year’s models. And like all OLEDs, the new models achieve virtually perfect black levels thanks to the emissive nature of the technology. In fact, all will be certified as UHD Premium by the Ultra HD Alliance. Another feature common to all the 2017 OLEDs is Dolby Atmos capability, though it’s not clear if this will be via HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) or what. In addition, all offer compatibility with HDR10 and Dolby Vision high dynamic-range content, and they will also support HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) after a firmware update. A feature called Active HDR emulates dynamic metadata with HDR10 and HLG content; Dolby Vision uses dynamic metadata, which can result in a better overall HDR picture because each scene can have its own metadata rather than a single set of metadata for the entire program. Almost as interesting is what the new OLED TVs don’t have. First, all are flat; there are no curved models this year (huzzah!). And none have 3D capabilities. The entry-level B7 will be available in 55″ and 65″ screen sizes with a “Blade Slim” design, while the C7 features a premium aluminum stand and bezel in the same screen sizes. The next step up is the E7 with LG’s “Picture on Glass” design and a soundbar stand in screen sizes of 55″ and 65″. LG’s “Signature” designation now applies to two model lines, the G7 and W7, both of which will be available in 65″ and 77″ sizes. The G7 sports the Picture on Glass design and a foldable soundbar stand, while the new W7 features a design called “Picture on Wall” with unique hardware that lets you mount it nearly flush to the wall. It also includes a Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbar that delivers 3.2.0 Atmos sound. As usual at CES, pricing was not announced, but the new OLED TVs are expected to ship in April. I’ll post more about these sets once I get a good, up-close look at them, so stay tuned! http://www.avsforum.com/lg-oled-tvs-at-ces-2017/ » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Only 3.85mm thick, that's slimmer than all your ipongs 7.

Hi. I just got my B6. To get the smart controller to control other devices, it seems like i have to switch my location away from Malaysia. Also, I cant control my Astro set top box. Does anyone has the same situation?

QUOTE(MEngineer @ Jan 5 2017, 07:21 AM) Nice. Hopefully can get it in Malaysia soon. I am targeting 65E6 model if price drops. If not then go for E7 model. Any idea in the past how much the old model price drops? I just got my 65E6 from Harvey Norman Ikano a few days ago 😊Their current sticker price is RM17999, but they are definitely open for haggling. I was only able to bring it down to RM16400 though, but I suck at this anyway 😝 Good luck 👍 |

The above black performance of the 7 series is really quite a bit better than last year's. I'm seriously thinking of selling my E6 just to get an E7 or maybe just "downgrade" to the C7 and get some spare change with more refined PQ.
Great indepth review here: |

I have a 9 year old LCD (Sony Bravia KLV40V-400A) that's still working fine without any problems
Similarly, my 6 year old plasma (Panasonic Viera 50VT20K) is still going strong My LG OLED65E6 is only 3 weeks old so far... hopefully it has the same lifespan as my Sony |

OLED does suffer from kmage retention to some degree, but not as bad as plasma. I have not encountered any problems with my E6 (although to be fair it's only 3 weeks old)But unless you're using it as a PC monitor or using it to display static images for long periods of time, this wouldn't be an issue with standard use. I have a 6 year old plasma used mainly to watch BDs and play games, never had any serious image retention problems. I expect current OLEDs to be the same. |

I felt appliances no longer like the old days, one TV can watch for 20 years no problem. Now i give 3 years, anythings more is bonus.
Hack, even Car no longer as lasting comparing the old days. I seen the LG OLED, the color are superb, but price is way too expensive. Hoping they drop below 5k for 55". |

Just had a lengthy hands on with the C7, definitely a noticeable improvement over the 6 series last year.
The 2 main improvements that I really like are: 1) The purple tint that is prevalent with reflections is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced over the last year's models. I never liked the purple tint, it was always distracting to me so I could never use my E6 even in a moderately bright room. The C7, even while pointing a spotlight at it does very well in comparison. There's still a purple hue on the screen, but it's a lot less annoying to my eyes. 2) The above black levels are quite a bit more balanced now. A lot less black crush in HDR content. For SDR content, black and just above black levels are less drab than last year's models. One other noticeable improvement (although not as significant) is that temporary IR can be cleared up within 10 minutes. My E6 needs at least 40+ mins to entirely clear up the screen. There are a few more other minor improvements, which at a whole isn't much to talk about (better input lag, but it's really only 5ms better... so, whateves). Seriously considering to sell the E6 and get the 65" C7 instead. I get some extra pocket money but a better TV overall. This post has been edited by SSJBen: May 7 2017, 09:37 PM |

I bought a LG OLED 55C6T on the 25th last month and it was delivered to me on the 27th. Today is the 8th which means that I had the TV for 11 days and guess what. There is a very visible vertical line on the screen already with another shorter but less visible vertical two inches away. ELEVEN DAYS!!!
 Anybody out there having this problem or is my unit an anomaly? Logged into the LG Malaysia website and there is a webpage where I can email in and guess what. After filling in all the required information blah blah blah, I hit the SUBMIT button and the damned thing won't work (broken link or not linked at all).  |

I felt very difficult to watch with home downlight turn on and get reflected on the screen. To enjoy this I have to turn off my home 4 direct downlights and to turn on 3 bulbs at the side walkway instead turning on all 7 bulbs together.The 2 main improvements that I really like are: 1) The purple tint that is prevalent with reflections is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced over the last year's models.

The only thing I hate on this panel is the "oled light" when turn above 50 on white images it's over bright and it's causing strain on my eyes and it's not comfortable to watch. I had to turn it down to or below 38 to suit my eyes. Maybe I have eye glare issue. |

Called them just now and the CS rep took down all my details and says that their technicians will call me within 3 days. Haiz. Paid 8,999 for it and it barely lasted 11 days. Actually it lasted about 5 days cos I bought it for my daughter's room and she didn't get back from her holidays until the 3rd last week. Switched it on max 4 times and already the screen defect. |

Ended up calling an old Cina Apek who fix fridges and he came in immediately and got it fixed. No problems since then up till now. Bad thing was that he left his screw driver inside the fridge that he had to come back a few hours later to retrieve it as it was behind the back panel of the freezer. |

Sharp sold Mexico factories to Hisense which includes rights to use the Sharp brand name and all its channel resources in North and South America, except Brazil. This meant that Sharp has exited the TV market in the Americas (except Brazil). Sharp is still the biggest TV brand in Japan though. |

One of the Bosch/Miele/Indesit technicians told me that in his 2 years with the company, he has never been called to repair a Bosch washer or fridge except for replacing the rubber seals which hardens with time and unavoidoable. Quality plays a big part and I don't mind paying for higher end models but never expected my OLED TV to die after less than 2 weeks.  |

I have a LG B6 OLED tv and am wondering if other TV owners have had their set professionally calibrated?
While watching The Force Awakens on Bluray yesterday, I keep getting distracted by the grainy picture quality. It's not noticeable in every scene but it does get annoyingly distracting. I'm not sure if the issue is with my TV settings, or the fact that I'm playing it off a PS4 Pro, or my expectations were too high. Seeking advice from folks if there's any way to reduce the grain. |

I'm also keen on the LG B6 OLED, but, recently, Sony has came out with Edge Local Dimming X93E/94E LED and reviews very promising. Too bad, this Sony FALD X900E not available in Malaysia. |

Guys, planning to update the firmware manually via USB tonight on the B6T.
SW File(Version 04.31.10) http://www.lg.com/my/support/support-product/lg-OLED55B6T# There is no push update where you can just update over the air. It helps in the latency for gaming and add on additional hdr game mode I guess. This post has been edited by Vannus: May 13 2017, 08:23 AM |

I connect my Himedia Q10 to LG SH7 using HDMI in and from SH7 to Oled B6 using ARC HDMI. TV sound settings switched to ARC out (Auto/PCM) with SImplilink On. I can hear sound from any content from Himedia Q10, but when I use Lg Netflix app, no sound come out. Any idea how to get rid this problem?

All webDL versions of TFA has grain reduced as a fixed post processing that the viewer cannot alter. The webDL version of TFA is encoded differently to the BluRay raw. So comparing the 2 versions is sort of pointless as their sources are different.

Still happy with my V series I moved my Panasonic 50VT20K to the bedroom after upgrading to the LG OLED65E6.While it's is still a good workhorse, the black levels that I once thought were gorgeous now don't look so great any more after being spoiled by the OLED (especially with the Star Trek: The Next Generation BDs). Alas my 50VT20K is now relegated to running my PS2, Sega Saturn, Apple TV, Phiips DVD HTiB, and a budget Samsung BD-J4500 Region B player. Being a Panasonic product, I have faith it will last for many, many more years to come. |

That means I get to use SVP and/or Smooth Motion to mitigate judder on low framerate content. For now at least, 24fps judder isn't a big issue for me. Games at 30fps though is a headache. But at the same time, 60fps games and 120fps games (C7 supports 120hz! woooh!) is a freaking delight! As for upscaling, believe it or not... Sony's X1 Extreme chipset on their Z9D, XE94 and XE93 actually comes very close to matching an Oppo 203 in upscaling prowess. Not everyone will want to get an Oppo player though and also not everything can be piped through to the Oppo player either. LG is doubling down on this next year. |

Not really a modern gamer outside of the occasional game on my PS3 and PS4.. prefer to play retro on my PS2 and Saturn... but so far I have not encountered any problems as far as PS3/4 are concerned
Not a PC user either, so I don't know what HTPCs can do anymore since the DVD era. I haven't experienced any dimming or brightness issues with SDR, 3D, or HDR contenr with my E6, so I'm not entirely certain what you mean. I always leave the video processing to the player in order to minimize it... I always leave my receiver to do direct video passthrough and leave the TV to display at native resolution, be it 576p or 720p or 1080p.

Has anyone tried the Record Live TV feature on their LG OLEDs?
I tested 3 different USB sticks with my E6, and all of them are rejected by the TV. I checked the built in help and the only requirements are the USB stick needs to be minimum 4GB in size (I tested with 4GB and 8GB sticks). I switched between FAT and NTFS to no avail The only common denominator is that these are USB 2.0 sticks.. is USB 3.0 a requirement? |

Hv not been very active in the forum these days. Many reasons, but primarily rec709 was kinda of maturing and with the demise of plasma, the base LCD (or LED backlit LCDs) were all more similar to each other for SDR and there was not much improvements to talk about in terms of technology.
Now that 4K UHD is firming up and the OLEDs becoming a little more mature with HDR also making its presence felt, I hope to write a little more about UHD/HDR with the various tone mapping algos out there to make some comparisons. I will be posting some calibration charts of the newer displays with some in depth data for a start on the 55C7 model. Possibly some subjective opinions as well. Calibration of the new displays and the ability to roll off above the the max nits that the new UHD/HDR displays can do will be in my opinion the differentiator of the displays. Look out for some data in the coming weeks/months. This post has been edited by anfieldude: Jul 10 2017, 04:12 PM |

QUOTE(ktek @ Jul 11 2017, 09:33 AM) welcome back I've been around, just don't post much. There seems to be some improvements made in my opinion. While I don't really consider streaming video as serious viewing, the addition of various streaming options in Malaysia (legally) at UHD (albeit heavily compressed) resolution is a plus. When the industry moved from SD to HD, there was a dire need to show content on HD/Full HD to sell the displays that were FullHD, but content was slow or expensive. The adoption rate was slow and people held on to the CRTs as long as they good. Enticing them to upgrade was difficult, especially with content not being there for the vieiwing. Now with Netflix/Amazon at our doorstep with high speed internet and both of them having a decent catalogue of content on UHD/HDR/Dolby Vision, things are looking better. With the recent availability of software to be able to calibrate for Dolby Vision (via a change to the Golden Reference File) and HDR10 separately in different memories on the LG 2017 OLEDs it indicates to me that the manufacturers now understand whats needed for UHD calibration at last after multiple chances to get it right. While, I prefer if the manufacturers give me more leeway in deciding how I want to roll off the highlights to account for lower output than is demanded by the video in play, I believe we are not far off that this gets built in at least for calibrators to implement on the higher end sets in the near future. I hope to write more in the coming weeks after the set rakes in some hours. |

Some initial observations. There are some improvements compared to the 2016 LG OLED in areas that have been already touched upon by the international reviews. Near black handling is clearly better. While I am still not sure if it is higher than 8 bits in the low end, the improvement compared to 2016 is there. This helps noisy dark areas better. I do see posterization from time to time, but its in content that is streaming, hence its hard to understand if they are bit starved. The set is still new and needs to settle down a bit. I believe it has to undergo its 1st compensation cycle before I can judge further. I do see that the Dynamic handling of HDR does allow to resolve higher than 1000nits (sometimes I see even up to 4000nits) but depending on the APL (with this being test patterns) the impact on the overall brightness is there. For SDR, the brightness/contrast seems to be spot on at default which is a good indication that LG understands this very well. I hope to jot down further observations when I calibrate it this week. Also looking forward to calibrating Dolby Vision soon. The UHD/HDR/DV feeds in Netflix do hv peak data streaming of about 15-20Mbps. I hv not seen any really coming close to 25Mpbs that Netflix requires for UHD, but then again, I hv not really viewed the whole movies yet. |

hi all,
anyone owning a C7 also owns sonos playbar? I'm not able to pair the remote with the Sonos playbar. thanks. EDIT - able to pair this successfully now .. just need to select as any soundbar in the LG menu .. than the remote will work This post has been edited by Escaflowne: Nov 30 2017, 02:05 AM |

I hv not seen any really coming close to 25Mpbs that Netflix requires for UHD, but then again, I hv not really viewed the whole movies yet. Agreed. I still do see some posterization on 10 bit content though, was watching Resident Evil Vendetta (UHD blu-ray version) the other day and I clearly see banding on dark gradients. I feel that LG could have a similar post-process like Sony's Smooth Gradation feature to help in this area, at the expense of blurring actual textures. @bold 2 Took me 3 compensation cycles before I could start calibrating without any changes beyond the next 50 hours. So basically, the first 120+ hours of my C7 has been for non-critical viewing. I read that a few owners let their C7s run slides for a week before even attempting to watch anything though. That's a little too extreme IMO. @bold 3 This is one of the most significant improvements I've observed moving from the E6 to the C7. Couple with the fact that APL is significantly less aggressive as well, this makes for a very case where bright scenes become very tolerable to watch. Dolby Vision will further close the gap between OLED and LCDs for peak brightness due to this sole improvement. This post has been edited by SSJBen: Jul 20 2017, 05:01 PM |

I do believe that the greyscale can be calibrated well if u understand how not to misalign the 20pt controls. As yet, I hv not seen any display so far handle white balance as well as the 9th Gen Kuros that only has 2 point but almost ruler flat greyscale even when measured at 5% intervals. Dolby Vision calibration will be interesting. So far only Calman has the ability to do it. U would also need a pattern generator that can trigger Dolby Vision or use ur PC. The workflows are very specific as it's controlled by Dolby. |

Yeah, contours and posterization can be seen on the C7. From my understanding, it is LG's current band-aid situation to boost brightness levels - resulting in banding and vignetting on the panel.

As it stands right now, yeah majority of C7 (and all other 6 and 7 series models) will exhibit banding in gradients. Both, but I think LG did a pretty solid job in the SDR presets out of the box if you ask me, not a whole lot of tweaking needed to achieve a flat greyscale. Only thing I tried and achieve with SDR content is to match it at 2.2 gamma, which out of the box was a little high at 2.3. Although 2.4 would be best in a pitch black room, I don't watch stuff in a pitch black room anymore these days. On the HDR side, I borrowed a Klein K80 and Murideo 6G from a friend who's a fellow calibrator and I will be using that for pattern generation. I'm not sure whether I did a good enough job or not (not a certified calibrator here so there are a few things I'm not quite sure about), to my eyes at least - I think it's fine. Will have the friend over this weekend to verify my calibration. |

Btw, I did not mean that for RE UHD that u watched had banding in the source I was meaning to point out that not all content mastered is free of banding. Banding can exist in BD and UHD .

Question for the sifus
I was watching The Revenant today, and the video signal quit a few times (no more than 2-3 seconds) before coming back up. I don't think it's a disc issue cos the audio continued, and my E6 flashes the HDR indicator on the upper right corner for a few second when the picture came back on. I am running the disc on a Samsung UBD-K8500, using HDMI1 output only to my Yamaha RX-A3050 receiver, which outputs to HDMI2 on my E6. I use the same 6ft AmazonBasics cable (see https://amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-.../dp/B014I8SSD0) to connect the player to the receiver, and the receiver to the TV. This is the first time I encountered this problem, did not have any issues with other titles like Batman v Superman or Planet Earth II. Any input would be much appreciated.

Set to 4K Mode 1
Still getting the intermittent video dropouts Doesn't look like it's isolated only to The Revenant, getting same problem with John Wick Ordered some cables from 18gbps certified cables from Monoprice, scheduled to arrive end of this month. Will use separate cables for audio and video for the UHD player and see if it fixes the problem This post has been edited by munchoong: Aug 17 2017, 09:05 PM |

QUOTE(VeeJay @ Aug 24 2017, 09:25 PM) hmmm, thus far havent come across for that price. do you know where did you observe that price at? I've seen that price at 3 places now:Best Denki MyTown Best Denki KLCC Harvey Norman The Curve (but this was over a month+ ago, I doubt they have any more B6 left) QUOTE(anfieldude @ Aug 25 2017, 10:29 AM) The only difference is the soundbar from SH8 to SJ8. RM9800 is about right and if it makes a difference the 2017 sets hv free 3 months Netflix UHD access. RM7777 is an extremely good price. What's the going rate for 65C7 I wonder? Yes RM7777 is an insanely good price, sell off the soundbar and it's only RM6k++ or so. Panel uniformity for the OCD aside, there's really no reason not to get it for the vast majority of people.65C7 is around RM19k or so. I believe Desa HT did have a small promo for it at KLAV 2017 though, selling for around 18.5k. Don't think the 65" is going to get any big promo until end of the year. The market only cares about 55 inch TVs now a days. QUOTE(doggmeister @ Aug 25 2017, 02:40 PM) Good to know thank you! How about for the old panel b6? Best price now? Lowest I've seen from a retail store is RM6699 at Harvey Norman The Curve. It was their clearance sale as they are going to be renovated.I think for a major chain retailer, only Best Denki has surplus stocks of the B6 currently. I could be wrong though. |

I would rather they take back the soundbar and reduce the price further
Its great to see the price being even lower than the b6 was this time last year. By the looks of it seems like we cant expect the same next year.... Would be great if they bring back a OLED 3D model next year, even if just one model with lower hdr brightness output as a result. Till that happens i guess i will stay with my H5000 plasma |

Not sure about the C7, but both SD and HD content looks very good on my E6. So your C7 should be even better I imagine.I have tested SD content from both Astro, myFreeview, and DVDs, all look very good (or as good as they can be). Certainly the best they have ever looked as far as I know, compared to my old 1080p panels. |

The W7 series does look good... on paper. I'm wondering how is the panel uniformity for a 77" screen however, considering that 65" hasn't been too good in the last 2 years to be very honest.

Sorry to inform u, Bukit Indah was the first store that I know until I Google it. Thus this was the only branch that I've visited.I didn't know it was newly opened until the second visit to the store on the same week. I just stop by after going through the road to AEON Jusco Bukit Indah. Ive went back to feel the oled c7 and the Lg uj630 66". Then I asked when this store opened, it feels like brand new, and the customer service answered it's only a week since the opening. And that's the reason I knew they have Lg c7 with a good price. They have sold 5, and left with 2. I dont know now, it's already 1 week. It might be sold out as the promo only for their grand opening This post has been edited by fadzly: Sep 20 2017, 11:43 PM |

But dont really care, happy with my C7 anyway Free soundbar just arrived today... That said, the B7T will have the latest factory revision of the OLED panel in this year's models. No reports however if screen uniformity has been improved - still too early to tell. |

I have joined the lg oled family. Awesome TV with lots of apps and the remote is so advance compare with normal remote.
Only complaint is the sound of it is a bit flat. I am looking to buy a speaker or soundbar for the TV. Any suggestions? Atm I am eyeing on sonos soundbar. Any thoughts? Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(sleepy 1 @ Oct 14 2017, 08:54 PM) I have joined the lg oled family. Awesome TV with lots of apps and the remote is so advance compare with normal remote. Wow...owesome. BTW where did you get the glass rack? Only complaint is the sound of it is a bit flat. I am looking to buy a speaker or soundbar for the TV. Any suggestions? Atm I am eyeing on sonos soundbar. Any thoughts? I would suggest, save some money and invest on Home Theater, its worth it |

guys, i have a question. thinking of buying the LG OLEDC755T and the LG SJ9 Atmos soundbar, for the Atmos effect. If i connect the TV HDMI2 (ARC) directly to the LG SJ9 HDMI OUT (TV ARC), will I get the Atmos effect? without any external BluRay device or Xbox One for example.

Not sure why you want to waste money on a soundbar... but to answer question:1) No, you won't get any Atmos material from the TV because there are no online streaming sources that currently has Atmos. Even if there is, eARC is needed and at this point in time, it's not clear yet if HDMI 2.0 can be firmware updated to include eARC. 2) Yes you will need an external device and a source material that actually has the Atmos track for the soundbar to decode it. Buying Atmos for the sake of Atmos is like buying a 4k TV for the sake of 4k. It goes hand in hand. |

However since my question was unanswered here yesterday and I really needed the answer, I did some readings in regards to my own question and surprisingly it does support Dolby Atmos through HDMI ARC in the form of DD+. LG OLED 2017 can do this over the HDMI ARC, however when doing Atmos through Dolby True HD (via BluRay disc) then it isn’t supported as mentioned by you, it’ll be supported when HDMI Rev2.1 is supported by tv manufacturers via eARC or I can, reroute it via external device via normal HDMI IN on the TV itself. My planned setup is fairly simple as most of my Atmos materials can only output Atmos tracks at 48kHz in the form of DD+, via a PC. The soundbar alone personally is really basic, with one HDMI IN and one HDMI OUT (ARC) and better Atmos soundbars eg; Sony or Yamaha YSP5600 costs absurdly high.1) No, you won't get any Atmos material from the TV because there are no online streaming sources that currently has Atmos.

Anyway, I don’t really fancy thousands of ringgit on Atmos HT setup alone and i know a proper setup could cost thousands of ringgit, after some reading on the reviews of the SJ9, maybe a slight taste of Atmos in the form of a soundbar suits my style and budget more. Took the plunge just now and bought an OLED 55” C7 at RM7999 with the free LG SJ8 soundbar and bought the SJ9 for the sake of experiencing Atmos. Not a proper setup for Atmos but for normal people like me, it might be enough already for now. |

Upfiring speakers require a low ceiling (no more than 10ft), it must be completely flat and be reflective. With upfiring speakers, the MLP is also only confined to a single spot and a limited one at that. |

The term upscale should be used on resolution like upscale a FHD to 4K. Anyway, i get your question but you need to understand the different between SDR vs HDR. HDR is using 10bit (12bit for DV) for color reproduction on display panel. When your source is only SDR (8bit), the panel will just display in SDR mode. You/movie producer will need to remaster the SDR content to HDR content in the source for display panel to actually shows the HDR content.http://www.11street.my/productdetail/lg-49...-panel-21790070 |

Yup what i mean is the function like below  Contrast booster for HDR-like viewing LG's HDR Effect uses unique image processing that transforms standard dynamic range content to emulate HDR quality by boosting the contrast for an HDR-like viewing experience. Is that possible for that model in the link i provide previously? |

Im using it for my PS4 game. So, the TV will be used mostly for gaming. Thus very limited time to surf movie, and most of the time if i wanna watch movie/drama, i will just choose the free trial netflix. at the end of the day, i rarely switch on my kodi box.

Yeah I saw it went to 6.5k yday but back up 6.8k today. But I promised myself for my next tv, I will also get extended warranty to 5 years. Horrible experience with my previous tv which konked out twice in 4 years. Repair costs not cheap. |

anyone has experienced an audio sync delay with the tv? My setup is basically PC -> TV HDMI IN -> HDMI ARC -> SJ9 soundbar. Latest firmware was installed. it seems like correcting it using LG's own AV Sync doesnt really fix the problem.

You didn't do much research then.With my heavy usage, can the TV tahan ah? The 6 series has now gained widespread attention of many permanent burn-in complaints in the last couple of months - just 15 months after its launch.

If you can read Korean, head up to DCinside and check out the LG OLED threads there. If you can't, then go to AVSForum and check out the plethora of B6 threads there. Also since you play games, you should stay away from the 6 series. The last few firmwares for the B6, LG has completely F'd up game mode so much that it's now a pointless mode to use. The 7 series fares better but LG has once again screwed up PC mode and HDR for games is borked. I have a C7 65 and I'm not a happy camper at this moment.

So if you can wait out a good deal, that may be smart thing to do while keeping an eye out on the C7's reliability rate.On my end, I have not faced any permanent burn-in yet. But temporary IR happens everytime I play games, recently Destiny 2. My backlight is merely at 55 in a dimly lit room, which is borderline acceptable to me - some paranoid ones actually keep their backlight at 40 and below and have no room lighting at all. They basically watch in pitch black darkness, something I don't do often. This post has been edited by SSJBen: Nov 3 2017, 02:17 AM |

So if you can wait out a good deal, that may be smart thing to do while keeping an eye out on the C7's reliability rate. On my end, I have not faced any permanent burn-in yet. But temporary IR happens everytime I play games, recently Destiny 2. My backlight is merely at 55 in a dimly lit room, which is borderline acceptable to me - some paranoid ones actually keep their backlight at 40 and below and have no room lighting at all. They basically watch in pitch black darkness, something I don't do often. |

QUOTE(kucuboy @ Nov 7 2017, 05:02 PM) I'm not sure if that's accurate. The soundbar needs to be redeemed from LG, meaning you have to send in your proof of purchase to LG and then wait for them to send the soundbar to you (takes about 2 weeks). So I'm not sure if LG still has this programme going on or not, AFAIK I was told it ends Sept 1st 2017. |

The sound bar redemption mail must reach LG Malaysia by 7th Nov together with proof of purchase. Which was yesterday. The promotion is now over. This is all stated in the redemption form. |

Hi. Just got my C7 few days ago. Gorgeous. But have a nagging issue to consult you guys here : how to enable HDR content on PS4 pro to the tv? What i’ve done :
- updated firmwares on both tv and console - safe mode restarted PS4 pro and enabled only hdcp 1.4 > changed to RGB resolution etc. Didn’t work and the tv flickered and lose PS4 signal whenever hdr content is on or whenever i turn on UHD Deep Color mode on the source setting on the tv where ps4 pro is connected. I’ve scoured so far many forums but no solution so far that i havent tried except for changing my hdmi cable. Any experience out there? Very frustrating as i bought the tv solely to experience UHD 4K HDR on PS4 Pro. |

They are scientifically tested to operate at 18gbps bandwidth - which is mandatory for 4k60 4:2:0 with HDR.Remember, there is no such thing as a HDMI 2.0 cable. It's either certified to run at a high enough bandwidth or it doesn't. This post has been edited by SSJBen: Nov 16 2017, 11:15 PM |

Felt cheated as there was better deal on lazada with same combo. Went to the shop to buy samsung Q7 but left with LG C7. Salesgirl pandai ayat and the black on OLED is amazing. I may have low standard but i think Dolby Atmos on the TV is great enough for non enthusiast even without the soundbar which i plan to use elsewhere. Seller said it will take max 1mth for the SJ8 to arrive after voucher is mailed by them regardless of passing the sept promo date as special request was made by them for extension, allegedly.

Just like my case, bought around mid July when the promotion was until 30 June. I thought i missed the free SJ8 but then around early August LG announced the same promotion started from 1st July to 31st August... |

Just received the free SJ8 sound bar 4 weeks after getting my C7. Unfortunately, it does not come with the T8 stand which you can mount the TV flush against the sound bar. Anyone knows where to get it? Searched on google and only found it on bestbuy for $49.99 (expensive for a piece of plastic), but they don’t deliver to Malaysia.
Also having problems with the ARC connection for sound output. Sometimes work, sometimes don’t, anyone got same experience? |

Becareful on updating firmware. Not because it bricks anything, but LG's firmware team has been so inconsistent that more often than not, they take 1 step forward and then 2 steps backward.
Example; they have f**ked up Game mode so many times now on the 6 series and 7 series, I've lost count. Better research on what has changed first before updating. |

Seriously LG need to improve on their firmware programmers. |

You've never owned a plasma have you? Must be a real visual enthusiast to go such route. OLEDs are several dozen times easier to baby sit than a Plasma. No doubt, there are still risks - but that's just how emissive displays work. So until we get laser TVs, this is how it is unless you want to settle for the outdated-but-still-expensive AF edge-lit LCDs. OR~ One can opt for FALD LCDs, of which is really only good at sizes beyond 65 inch to incorporate enough individual zones. But then people are going to come up with dumb excuses of "no place to put lah, so big and so expensive still!". This post has been edited by SSJBen: Jan 9 2018, 04:37 PM |

QUOTE(iGamer @ Jan 9 2018, 04:37 PM) Yup, I skip plasma. Both OLED and LCDs has its pros and cons. It's up to you which is more important. But there's no doubt paying 9k for an LCD vs 9k for an OLED, the one with half a brain should be able to make a decision to get the latter. |

As far as I know, there is no 65" for B7, the cheapest 65" LG OLED is the C7 followed by E7. |

So until we get laser TVs, this is how it is unless you want to settle for the outdated-but-still-expensive AF edge-lit LCDs. OR~ One can opt for FALD LCDs, of which is really only good at sizes beyond 65 inch to incorporate enough individual zones. But then people are going to come up with dumb excuses of "no place to put lah, so big and so expensive still!". |

Hi All,
I was offered a replacement as my previous Samsung SUHD 65" JS8000 had light bleed problems... I plan to get a new TV for the long term, at to last 5 years... Thinking of LG C7 but concern about image retention and burn in. I watch movies, netflix and play some games. I didn't want to worry or baby sit the TV as you guys term it. Should I consider LG or go for alternatives like Sony x930e or Samsung Q7 QLED? If going for alternatives, is Sony better than Samsung as I see reviews they are...? For Sony, I see in US they get x930e, whats the equivalent model in Malaysia? Thanks all... This post has been edited by Slash21: Jan 14 2018, 12:24 PM |

But then you will have to be willing to put up with the shortcomings of LCD technologies. Meaning no infinite blacks, mediocre viewing angles, haloing/clouding, uneven panel uniformity and just passable motion clarity. You're also most definitely paying more for the x930e than the C7 as Sony for whatever dumb reason doesn't want to lower the SRP of this model significantly. Basically you're paying more for inferior technology, eventhough its hassle free. I have both TVs and I use them for different usages. A 65" C7 for movies only and the 55" x930e for games only. I understand that it sounds stupid to have 2 TVs for 2 different usages, but if you ask me which I would live with if I MUST only choose one - I'd definitely say the C7. Samsung and their bullshit QLEDs can go eat out of their own anuses - at least for the 2017 models. They are promising FALD for their QLED this year's models, so we'll have to wait and see how that turns out.

I am heavy Ps4 Gamer, lost my hope to get 65" UHD premium certified led tv in 2018. I was at their launch event last year. When I queried why there isn't an x900e to bridge the RM7k budget cap, they give me a stink-eye and said because their so called "internal review" deemed this market (Malaysia) not a fitting one for this model. They probably have other reasons pertaining to logistics and economics, but my personal opinion is that it feels like they rather want to short change you with the inferior x800/850e series or you go all out and get a x930e. There is no in-between.Anyways, let's not derail this into a Sony thread. The C7 has been discounted quite significantly in the last 2 months, so considering the 8 series isn't bringing any significant improvements in PQ - one SHOULD pick up the C7 for cheap in the next couple of months during the "warehouse clearing" sales. |

Does anyone make any changes to Dolby Vision settings, or it's left at default? I have an E6, and only started watching Dolby Vision content via Netflix. Thanks! |

Pulled the trigger on the 55' C7 on 11street when I saw the price dropped around RM200.
After coupons and cashbacks I paid around 7500 for the tv+SJ8 Soundbar. I'm just worried the soundbar promotion is no longer valid although seller assured me it is. |

I got my C7 the day after I ordered on 11street. Damn impressed by the delivery since I'm in Pekan, Pahang haha.
Anyway, coming from a 5 year old cheapo Sony 42 inch LCD tv, I was mind blown. Didn't know what I was missing out. The C7 even eliminates the need for a Roku as it directplays most of the content on my NAS. I even game more on the C7 than my Acer X34A monitor now and I find I don't miss Gsync as much as I thought I would. *Btw I checked the form and the SJ8 soundbar promo is only valid until 28th Feb so other bros who are waiting should consider that. It's worth around 1800 online so might be worth it to pull the trigger now. Also if anyone is using wireless headphones with their LG OLED TV do let me know because I read not all headphones work.

Been using my C7 65" for about 8 months as a PC monitor and also for movies/gaming. Temporary image retention is common, I've learned to deal with it. Permanent burn-in has yet to happen on my set and I play Tekken 7 on it almost everyday (static, bright yellow life bars on screen!).So that should tell you something. |

Hey y'all. Pondering if I should take the extended warranty or not. How reliable are these oled tvs? Does the warranty cover burn in issues?

Watch for big clearance very soon or they'd be pricing the C8 much higher than expected.also, in regards to the web o.s 3.5..is there a native app that can play mkv bdremux and bitstream the audio (true hd, its hdma) to the receiver via the hdmi arc? As for your second question; doesn't work. HDMI ARC cannot bitstream DTSHD, DTSX, TrueHD or Atmos. Only eARC can transmit lossless codecs. |

I've somehow expected that the price will be a little bit on the higher side when it launch, just gonna wait and see how LG My pricing and then decide if the price increase is justifiable, else I'll just get the C7.As for your second question; doesn't work. HDMI ARC cannot bitstream DTSHD, DTSX, TrueHD or Atmos. Only eARC can transmit lossless codecs. For the audio, since the ARC won't bitstream lossless, then the best connection will be BD Player (Audio) --> AVR | BD Player (Main HDMI) --> TV? Reason for this is because Dolby Vision needs to be connected directly between BD Player and TV right? |

Reason for this is because Dolby Vision needs to be connected directly between BD Player and TV right? As for Dolby Vision, it depends if your receiver can pass through DV or not. Mine can so everything just goes to it. Simple connection = no problems. Basically the receiver is the hub (it's called a receiver for a reason, use it). |

Thanks for your reply, I now know what kind of avr to get to do a total refresh of my setup. eARC should on paper fix all the issues ARC has and should actually work the way ARC was intentionally first designed. So let's hope that one works.As for AVR, I think it's best to wait a little before you buy anything. 2018 models should be announced within a month or so, most midrange and high-end models should come with HDMI 2.1. Best to hold out for that. |

Just a heads up to bros here. My C7 55 Incher bricked itself with the red led blinking 3 times when you try to turn it on after a month of having it. Called LG customer service to claim the warranty and 1 month on its still not fixed with the Cs people claiming the spare part will only arrive end of this month.
Pretty disappointed with the after sales to be honest. One of their better selling lines and they don't even have spare parts in stock? |

Having to wait 1 month for parts replacement is really bad especially since this is a model and size that sells very well. But honestly I am not surprised since LG doesn't have a good reputation when it comes to after sales service. In fact, I think most brands are bad in after sales except maybe Panasonic and Sony (to a lesser extent). Its mostly an afterthought these days and some like Sony have outsourced their service & repairs to a 3rd party.Pretty disappointed with the after sales to be honest.

Yeah after complaining and asking for the case to be escalated they sent a technician to have a cursory look on the TV. He only confirmed that the main board is toast and need to wait for replacement while the screen is fine. He also mentioned they have zero spare parts for both screen and main board in Malaysia. Which is pretty damn stupid if you ask me. Surely a unit will fail sooner or later right? And from what I can see the OLED TVs are selling well there's really no excuse not to keep spares in stock. |

That really sucks. After spending so much on the tv, cannot use it for so long due their incompetence in keeping spare parts. Even if they don't have it in Malaysia they should be able to get it in a week from Korea or Singapore. But of course they only care about selling you the tv and not the after sales part. If they don't fix it for you in a reasonable time frame, you should consider going to the consumer tribunal to get them to refund the amount. In the meantime, maybe threaten them about going to the consumer court. |

Just saw the 55" C8 at Best Denki - selling for RM10k, 6% cash back (so RM9.4k).
The bigger models should be here by June. |

Most people won't be able to afford the 77, so it's a bit unfortunate they aren't planning to bring it in. I'd probably upgrade to the 77 if they bring it in. |

C8 price at 9.3k is actually not as high as I expected it to be. I know because it was exactly 1 year ago I sold my E6 for a C7 albeit 65" model. |

well, I might probably get the c8 as there is a higher chances that the alpha chipset is able to support HDR11 via firmware upgrade.
Well, its hunting time! Glad I didn't pull the plug on C7 last week, almost though. Hope this can last as long as my Kuro. |

Interestingly the new 2018 A8F Sony OLEDs hv dropped in price compared to the 2017 A1E sets by quite a bit. I was hoping this would mean that LG2018 sets would start lower than the 2017 but it does not seem like LG has the same strategy.

The A8F and A1E are 2 different categories as far as Sony is concerned though? I mean, the A8F has a cheaper build quality out of the box, doesn't have that fancy unpractical stand. To Sony, the A1E is still their flagship OLED TV.Technically the C8 although it's releasing at the same SRP as last year's C7, the C8's street price is already lower than that of the C7 at this time last year.

The 65A8F is definitely good value to where the SRP is. With some discounts it could be a decent price. I hv not seen the 65C8 prices as yet. |

I hv not seen the 65C8 prices as yet. Anyways, the one glaring weakness I found with the A8F in comparison to the C8 is in EOTF tracking. The C8 tracks a lot better and only rolls off after 600 nits where as the A8F rolls off after 120 nits. Also the ABL on the A8F is just far too aggressive unless you watch in a pitch black room and have the ABL setting set to Low, but that will also in turn hurt specular highlights. Other minor complaints include the somewhat high input lag (30ms) and the extremely shallow stand. I don't think the A8F is a good competitor to the C8 to be frank. Sure Sony's upscaling is still king and its enhancements over 8 bit content remains superior to the others, but I don't think its strength beats LG's. On a second note, I can't wait for the Panasonic FZ800 and FZ950. |

The prices tend to give competition as previously Sony prices were much higher.

I feel that the only things Sony needs to do is to bring the input lag on its TVs down to sub 20ms and tame the ABL to be less aggressive. As it is right now, in Malaysia at least - there's no point buying an A8F when the C8 is cheaper.QUOTE(nomar @ May 30 2018, 05:29 AM) Is it still available and when is the road show ends ?

Post roadshow it seems like the price of the 55C8 is now closed to 11k. At this price the Sony 55AF8 is similar an a real option for those who need the motion enhancement and a better implemented BFI. |

Unless LG drops the price. The other differentiator would be Android TVOS vs WebOS. I feel WebOS is a much better OS as Android TV OS is slow. Maybe Sony will also drop the price now since World Cup is just around the corner.It's now available in most major stores. |

There are only 2 things I wish Sony will improve on the AF8 (and it can be done so through firmware updates) and that is to lower the input lag as well as lower the aggressiveness of their ABL.
Do that and they'll be king for the RM9-10k 55" market. As is it is now, the C8 does have the AF8 beaten IMO - the price difference is only a few hundred but the C8 simply has more pros over the AF8. P/S And yeah, Android TV is just utter shit. |

QUOTE(kucuboy @ Jun 7 2018, 04:43 PM) Still have not seen the C7 55" drop to around 6k in KL. Only found display units at those prices. So far, I've checked at Senheng, SenQ, Desa Home, HLK, TBM, TBC, OnKing, Lazada, 11Street, Shopee, D'Legend and Harvey Norman in the past 2 weeks. Online ? I got an offer from TBC for 6.8k for C7 , but I am the friend with the shop keeper. It is not a display unit that much for sure. I am not getting a good price for C8 from them sadly You have to speak with the shop keeper and show some intention of buying ,and then give up . It's Raya soon and post 6% GST , if they are serious about clearing stock they will give you some discounts . C7 is already at 7.3 and few days ago you can get a RM 200 coupon for spending over 4k This post has been edited by Convael: Jun 7 2018, 09:46 PM |

It was the price I got 2 weeks ago when LG had promotion with Sound bar and now the promotion has ended If it helps Desa Home is selling 65 inches C6 for 9.3k now, which is quite a good deal This post has been edited by Convael: Jun 9 2018, 02:34 AM |

Hey guys, most likely going down to Desa Home Theatre to get a 65" OLED today. Budget below RM17k?
I assume the Sony A1 65" OLED HDR is the best TV in my budget? What other alternatives? I assumed OLED is still superior than Samsung QLED right in terms of picture quality? Don't mind settling for a cheaper TV because it'll only be used for Astro 99% of the time. I also see a cheap LG 65" OLED C7T with active HDR (?) for like RM9K as per Desa Home Theatre's ad Update: I also noticed Panasonic OLEDs as shown below. Any thoughts?

My advise is to wait just a few more weeks. Im very very sure the oled tv makers will be offering some really good stuff like free soundbar or stuff. U wouldn't want to regret not waiting just a while more to get it. The included soundbars are really worth it

You can get the newer Sony A8F 65'' with your budget. What other alternatives? I assumed OLED is still superior than Samsung QLED right in terms of picture quality? Slightly 'superior' picture quality, but OLED comes with the disadvantage of image retention and burn-in. Reviews for Samsung Q9FN shows that it has amazing picture quality close to OLEDs Don't mind settling for a cheaper TV because it'll only be used for Astro 99% of the time. This relate to the previous points, if you're just watching Astro, especially sports or channels with fixed displays (eg channel's name) then you shouldn't be getting an OLED. Not saying it will definitely happen but it's risk that OLED owners have to keep in mind. Not to mention that your budget is kind of an overkill just for your purpose. Unless you're planning to game or start watching 4k blurays then you should just get a cheaper LED/QLED tv, but if you just want the best TV out there in case you change your mind then that's up to you. Look at Desa's FB as they posted a recent Samsung promo that gets you a free soundbar and bluray player for the new QLED TVs I also see a cheap LG 65" OLED C7T with active HDR (?) for like RM9K as per Desa Home Theatre's ad Are you sure it's C7 and not C6? I doubt C7's price has reached below RM11k yet Update: I also noticed Panasonic OLEDs as shown below. Any thoughts? Ignore brands other than LG & Sony if you're getting an OLED My suggestion is that you should do more research before rushing getting one, because asking these questions the day you plan to buy one does make it seem that you haven't done enough research yet (don't take this negatively). Rtings.com and HDTVtest on youtube is a good place to start, and HDTVtest have posted comparison videos between C8-A8F and C8-Q9FN |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Jun 9 2018, 12:24 PM) Just a quick question, the TVs I mentioned and all the TVs these days have auto upscaling to 4k? All 4k tv should have upscaling functions , it is a matter of how well it performs.When it comes to upscaling Sony's TV usually take the crown , but the rest are not too far behind QUOTE What other alternatives? I assumed OLED is still superior than Samsung QLED right in terms of picture quality? Not much more , unless we are strictly talking contrast rating, in which case Oled will always win in terms of contrast The newer batch of Samsung QLED , especially Q8f and Q9FN have an incredible FALD system that is very capable of darkening / brightening the HDR highlights. The Q9FN is particularly impressive .Both TV are also MUCH brighter than any OLED TV on the market now And you need to keep in mind , all OLED TVs have a risk of burn in , because of the organic compound used in OLED wear out with usage / time LG and Sony also do not count burn in as Defect , therefore they are not covered in warranty. QUOTE I assume the Sony A1 65" OLED HDR is the best TV in my budget? All OLED TV have fantastic picture quality , so it is hard to tell which is the best just from price alone .Just so if we are comparing , A1 was suppose to compete with last year's C7 / B7 , in which LG OLED TV are usually slightly brighter with less aggressive ABL ( although both TV are still bright enough for HDR content to pop out from the OLED screen ) . Sony's TVs are slightly better at processing images . QUOTE Don't mind settling for a cheaper TV because it'll only be used for Astro 99% of the time. Frankly speaking , an OLED TV is like that exquisite and fragile and elegant lady , require a lot of caring and self awareness from you . If you are just going to watch some TV shows / sport shows and leave your TV on a lot, the static elements from screen especially the logos & subtitles will increase the risk of getting burn in . My advice is , if you don't want to be too wary of watching time, you should get an LED TV , the Samsung newer Generation of QLED is quite damn amazing . Frankly speaking with your budget , you could get a new Samsung Q9FN that has one of the widest color gamut among consumer TV until today. They are also the brightiest TV on market until now and being a QLED , the TV is also free from risk of burn in ( LED Burn in are covered by Samsung as well ) QUOTE I also see a cheap LG 65" OLED C7T with active HDR (?) for like RM9K as per Desa Home Theatre's ad That's a good price for 65 inches . C7 are generally regarded as the best consumer TV from 2017 in terms of performance . This post has been edited by Convael: Jun 9 2018, 01:19 PM |

QUOTE Slightly 'superior' picture quality, but OLED comes with the disadvantage of image retention and burn-in.

Unless you're planning to game or start watching 4k blurays then you should just get a cheaper LED/QLED tv, but if you just want the best TV out there in case you change your mind then that's up to you. As the TV is primarily for parents and they are not picky at all, plus it's mostly for Astro. They just like the deep black levels from the OLEDs and I noticed the Samsung QLEDs has pretty good black levels too. I really might consider some Samsung QLEDs if they're within budget. I noticed that the Samsung Q9F is about RM18,866 and the Q8C is within budget. Is there a big difference between the two models? Parents usually watch various channels, documentary (nat geo,discovery), CCTV, news, movies and sports channels. I hope OLEDs would still be alright and would last maybe another 5-6 years at least without those burn in/image retention issues? QUOTE Are you sure it's C7 and not C6? I doubt C7's price has reached below RM11k yet Sorry my bad, it's the C6T as per their ad here: https://www.facebook.com/DesaHomeTheatre/ph...?type=3&theater QUOTE Ignore brands other than LG & Sony if you're getting an OLED Thank you!

Rtings.com and HDTVtest on youtube is a good place to start, and HDTVtest have posted comparison videos between C8-A8F and C8-Q9FN Thanks for the comment again. I'm actually not that kind of person since I actually do quite a bit of research before getting something. It's just that my parents got some extra funds to splash on a TV and they only watch Astro so it's kinda like not a big deal to do that much research They love the black levels of the OLEDs |

Human eyes are actually very sensitive to black and white , therefore contrast between the Peak brightness and peak darkness on the screen is stronger , the better the picture will appear to our eyes .So strictly from numbers alone , no LED screen can ever come close to having contrast level of OLED screen , as much as most Samsung TVs already have better than average contrast level. However , do keep in mind LED do not suffer from burn in so it can offer you a peace of mind not having to worry about the watching content and time. |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Jun 9 2018, 12:20 PM) Thanks for the advice bro but we already have a home theatre setup and no thoughts of changing it yet actually. The soundbar isn't for you to use. The soundbar is for you to sell, which would bring down the price of the TV much more than any discount that can be offered by any store.  Anyways; the best 65" OLED TV in 2018 currently is the C8, overall speaking - in this market at least. Panasonic OLEDs were crowned the best last year and for good reason, they offer the best balance of feature sets and calibration capabilities. If Panasonic brings in their FZ950 series here and price it competitively, I'm fairly certain it'll take top spots in most categories. The Sony A8F at the moment is the cheapest, after all the discounts and what not. Great TV, but I've mentioned that it isn't great for gaming (over 30ms input lag is just barely acceptable) and the aggressive ABL is just a bit too much. It does have pros that neither LG nor Panasonic can match of course and that's in motion handling, upscaling and post-processing. |

I don't think C8 is worth it now , unless you watch a lot of sports , play a lot of fast pace fps / action games or super nitpicky like some of us that demand absolute perfection on picture quality. The processor and BFI upgrade isn't big enough to justify the price .So yea , congrats on your purchase , you've made a great decision imo This post has been edited by Convael: Jun 10 2018, 07:46 AM |

The processor and BFI upgrade isn't big enough to justify the price . Thanks. The C8 is just too pricey for me. I just hook up the C7 wall mounted. I sit exactly 13 feet away from the Oled panel and it feels big So yea , congrats on your purchase , you've made a great decision imo Maybe i still need time adjusting. Previously using 49inch lg uhd. Picture quality especially on Netflix is amazing compared to before. Issit Dolby Vision? How bout sound? Astro HD showed marked improvement too. Im a happy camper indeed. This post has been edited by enkil: Jun 10 2018, 10:22 AM |
