Anyone with any idea when will the 2016 models - G6/E6/C6/B6 - be released over here in Malaysia and their estimated MSRP?

Thanks for the info. Was hoping that they would launch B6 at the same time since that would be the cheapest of all. Guess that I'll have to wait till the end of the year, or maybe early next year.

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.

p/s: both 910T & 930T are non-4K but both have 3D function.
My mistake on that one. You are correct that both have 3D function.

Nice price for C6, hopefully will drop even more by next year, currently having 58inches Sharp UE630x, after having a look at OLED the picture quality is just so much better  rclxub.gif

I had my eyes on either the Sharp UE630X or the Sony X8500D initially too. But the moment I saw the picture quality of the OLED, it just blows me away.

Hi all;

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 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.

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.
This matter is still not solve until today (more that 1 month) and is causing me much grievance.
And they have so far refuse to do a 1 to 1 replacement for me.

Was your purchase inclusive of insurance? If it comes with insurance, you should be entitled to 1-to-1 replacement regardless of what happened within the 1st year of purchase.

I don't regard LG's TV (its panel in particular) to be very reliable in terms of quality, hence I bought my C6 together with insurance. Not sure if the insurance is being offered and available for purchase together with other models other than the new C/E series OLED TVs.

The LG OLED i bought is with 5 years warranty. But when i contacted Harvey Norman about this matter they try to play "Tai Chi" and said that all
technical problem for the first 2 years fall entirely on LG Malaysia.

Maybe with all the noise and mails and calls i made, LG finally send 3 technician to my house today to try fix the TV.
But after changing more hardware components which doesnt fix the problem, the technicians finally gave up and informs
me that the TV is beyond their scope to fix. He said i should bee getting a replacement set after he report back to HQ.

So now i wait and see.

At least they responded, better late than never.

Anyway, what I mentioned was "insurance", not warranty. 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.

Any idea or words on if and when the 42” Flex LX3 will be available in Malaysia?

Finally found the ultimate device for me to be used as a TV and gaming monitor on a desk.
