What is the major difference between b6 and b7. Is there some features or software updates that are missing from the B6?

not much. better get the b6 with a bargain price
Thx, from most of my research and your answer, I seem to come to the same conclusion too. My only other concern will be the longevity of the B6. I can be a heavy user with at least 4-8 hours one stretch of playing games and watching movies. Maybe I do that three times a week.

With my heavy usage, can the TV tahan ah?

Not sure bro. The TV only 1 year old +. So far it's good. Get a new unit. Don't go for display set. The cheapest can get now is from 11 street. It's rm6.6k.
*
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.

You didn't do much research then.

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. The 7 series is also starting to get some attention on long running temporary IR, but we'll see in another 6+ months if burn-in will be as widespread as the 6 series or not.

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.

As for RTings saying there isn't much of a difference - they don't know what they're talking about (go to 11:10):

Glad I got your feedback on it. I'll definitely wait then and keep lurking in the AVS forum till then. I told the wife, by the time World Cup kicks off next year, I want to have an oled tv icon_idea.gif

Hi guys. Im looking for 55 oled and found rm8199 for 55c7 at desa home one city but sadly no more soundbar promo. From past lg promo history will they make the soundbar promo again later or need to wait for new model?

I have several LG reps that told me about it personally. Salesmen are are salesmen, they are not the engineers working on product repairs.

So did you get a reply from LG?

How much are you all buying your 55" C7's and B7's for? Im planning to wait until until May when all TV manufacturers will have promo for World Cup. Im also only shifting to new house then too. But if the price drop to RM5.5k, ill straight away pull the trigger.

difficult to get that kind of price.  i think the cheapest is 6k-6.5k. try to compare B6 after a year. The lowest u can get is ranging from 6k to 6.8k on the web.
*
I'll try my luck. After CNY, shops have to clear last year model for this year ones. Ill just becareful not to get a demo unit, i should be fine. RM6k also quite good too, if got any good freebie

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?
*
If you plan to sell your C7/B7, pm me chief, might consider. Provided no permanent screen burn.

If LG is giving the SK9Y or SK10Y soundbar with the new C8 then I might consider.

The C7 has dropped down to 6-7K , a good time to pick up OLED for those who wanted some asskicking Picture Quality.
I am looking for a good price for 55' - 65 ' C8 , thinking its finally time to leave my B7 behind

Let me know if someone got a good offer from around KL , thx
*
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

All were at the actual shops except Lazada, Shopee and 11street. Which TBC branch? I went to the one a Sg Buloh, they quoted me 7.9k.

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

Which desa home did u go to? Did u take their extended warranty?

Best Denki MyTown had the 55" C7 at RM6339 in the last 2 weeks of May, during the whole "we absorb GST" campaign. No soundbar though.

Went there last night. The staff said that price was for display unit. New C7 best price 7.7k. Sigh
