anyone know when is the c8 going to launch here? I've asked lg cs but they don't know when themselves.

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?

Boss, I don't own any OLED at the moment, I'm planning to sell off my Kuro 42" when the C8 arrive at my doorstep.

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.

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?

This is how my connections are and always have been. I guess nothing will change in near future as long as the receiver has all the capabilities needed. Thanks for your reply, I now know what kind of avr to get to do a total refresh of my setup.

ESH Selling for 9.3k plus a little bit more price reduction if interested. Damn quite a significant price jump compared to C7

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.

Tell me where!!!

The shop in starling mall uptown is still selling for around 9.5k last time I checked. 55" C8

55" C8 @ 7.5k at toong heng pj (next to fatty crab). I'm gonna wait til the price hits 7 flat.

its not long now before it touch 7k, but IMO the price will rise after the implementation of SST. So the plug has to be pulled by end of Aug

whats the damage?

Last I checked, their offer was for C7 models, 55 and 65.

Very good price, congrats man!!

That is the deal of the century if its true.
