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 I'm just worried the soundbar promotion is no longer valid although seller assured me it is.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.

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.

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.

Read a few posts back.....
No 48" size for Malaysia and Singapore.

Damn.. I was really looking forward to the 48" for my pc... I guess QLED is the only alternative..

I'm really disappointed by my IPS ultrawide because I have it next to my 55 C7 and the quality of the picture is so different

of course if you compare IPS vs OLED
OLED not suitable for pc static images unless you always have moving pictures like movies or gaming

no choice, you need to wait for microLED or samsung quantum dot oled tvs

Yeah..I was so close to ordering the new Samsung G9 Odyssey..until I saw it doesn't have FALD. Don't know what they're smoking claiming HDR capability withouth FALD haha..and the two monitors available with FALD are all around 10K+.. LG OLED tvs represent the best value right now as long as you're not scared of burn-in (which I don't)

CX pricing in Malaysia

55 - 10999
65 - 16999
77 - 31999

GX
65 - 19999

So basically for the price of the 55cx now, you can get a 65 cx for cheaper...lol.

One seller in Pahang is selling the 55 CX for 8K. Listed in Shoppee. The 65 inch is 17k in this shop though while desahome shoppee listing is 14k.
