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 second this. LG's oled s are the best tvs you can buy right now in Malaysia until Panasonic brings their oleds into Malaysia.
Their LCDs on the other hand are quite disappointing.

from what i know, panasonic oled is also using lg oled panel...

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.

uf950t looks terrible. In fact the whole range of LG UHD are the worst TVs I've seen in my life, except for OLED. The black level and contrast is even worse than China Tvs. Less than 1000 : 1. Read here :-

http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/uf9500, this is similar to  uf950T.

Personally I think the UF950T is a good TV albeit being an IPS due to its Colour Prime (WCG) technology. Not suitable for dark room movies but otherwise good for living room. But the premium price makes it not worth buying at all.

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.

thats make oled 55ec930t at 7xxx is a good deal bru
reference level at that price

tbh 4k to me is not that much of a game changer
*
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.

Content is scarce though and prices are high, no point waiting for it now.

This is an OLED thread. Go & ask your question in one of the many LCD threads.

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.

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.
