48 " is indeed a little too small for TV . Only people who really need to fit a certain space will find any usage for it .

And majority of the monitor crowd is well aware of the Burn-In issues despite being overblown .
The thing is , 55 " CX from last year can be gotten at around the same price , so there is little incentive actually get something less for the same price .
This is so true. I want OLeD for my master bedroom to replace a very old lcd tv. 48" size is spot on and 55" is too big. But then, the CX 55" is only about rm300 more than the C1 48" (street price). Plus some shops are offering rm300 TnG rebate, this pretty much makes the price or both tvs even. It makes little sense to opt for 48" now.. i guess i'll wait for year end promo, if there is any.

Just got my LG c1 48 inch specifically for the PS5 in my office.

I am looking for a soundbar which the height will not interfere the bottom of the screen since mine is placed on the rack.

Budget around 1k and below. any recommendations?

Ive got a few right now that might be considered but I want to hear your thoughts. Dont need atmos as I have the Q950t outside in the home theater. Just needed a soundbar for the OLED tv in the office.

Have a look at the Yamaha SR-B20A. It is quite thin at 53mm height. Sound is surprisingly big, but it only supports Dolby Digital & DTS. On recent 7.7 sale, it went as low as rm880 at Shopee (Desa home).

That sounds good. Never heard of the model before as others recommended the YAS model one instead with sub. No space for the tv
*
The b20a is like a skimped version of yas-109. I got it just because I want to connect my old subwoofer through the external sub out (coaxial).

LG C1 48 inch price below 4k during lazada sales is good? Kinda tempting.
*
Yup. Good price. Just ensure it is C1, not A1.

Desa homenhad a clearance laat month for c1 48. It was below 3.8k after deduct lazada bonus. And about 4.2k with extended warranty. Now other stores are selling around 4k to 4.3k. Only leftover stocks as C2 48 is coming (expected > 5k at launch).

Yup. In the end I grabbed the deal with 3+2 year warranty with extra RM770 charges.

My dad is there regular P1 Gold customer so I could get even more cashback. Not sure how but I eventually got around RM1.2k coins cashback.

So in the end I bought it at around RM3.7k after cashback and all those with 5 years warranty.

dem good bargain for loyal senheng customer thumbsup.gif

i received mine from shopee for rm4.2k - rm150 LG rewards - 3500 coins and opted for 1-year extended warranty (Shopee x AIA).

Guys, i today just realize my screen on the top is like this.. and got some dead pixels as well.

Not sure u guys can see or not, is like the top part is abit wavy, but other edge is clean. This is considered defects? Found some burn pixel also, really need to get really close to see lol.

*
ya bro, can see both wavy and burn mark in your photos. if those are consistent on all picture sources & modes, maybe you can call LG to check.

I'm deciding between 55" LG C1 (RM6.5k) and Sony A80J (RM6.2k) for mostly watching movies and TV series.

How's things like Judder, motion and stuff?

I read here that the LG can go below RM6k, so I guess probably better get Sony right now?
*
Both can be had for around rm6.2k

C1 got no DTS sound, while the a80j has.

C1 is slightly better for playing games.

A lot of ppl say Sony has better motion handling. Personally i'd switch it off on any tv. Haha.

LG is using WebOS - on the C1, the interface is a bit slow (at least for me). Sony uses Android.

Overall both tvs performs quite similar.

Anyone knows if I should go for LG A1 instead of C1? I am going to use the tv only for netflix and youtube, no game at all. But here is the catch : A1 is so much dimmer than C1 and that is the only thing holding me back from going for A1. However, I don’t want to spend extra money on specs that I won’t use and I am on a really tight budget that the RM1k difference would be quite a lot to me. So what do you guys think?
*
If you plan to use the oled in dim/dark room most of the time, A1 is ok.
Personally i think the extra brightess is worth the extra $$$. I feel the C1's brightness in HDR is just enough (may be a bit below the ideal brightness). Scout around during 7.7 sales maybe you can get one below rm4k, making the price diff over the A1 is only a few hundred bucks.

haha.. the LG appointed service person did came over and check already, so they said they will submit report to SenQ most likely SenQ wont repair the panel instead they will normally give voucher ask u buy new TV lol.

i have checked with senq salesperson, apparently if it is beyond repair, they will provide voucher that can cover the sum insured for u to buy new TV or watever u want lol. and it will be diff warranty because u going to buy with new voucher. Is this better than panel replacement? lol
*
if the new replacement tv comes with new warranty, then very worth it lor. closed both eyes and take the voucher haha rclxs0.gif

C1 and C2 not very big difference. 55" and above only will the "EVO" OLED.
Even then the difference is not night and day.
It's better to get the C1 instead.
*
My C1 48 has WBE panel (supposedly the 'Evo' panel). Checked in Service Menu, model label as well as pink tint on screen confirmed this.

Though it is hard to say the C2 48 will get the same panel or the older WBC.

When is the manufacturing date?

Mine C1 48" manufacture Sept 2021 and with pink tint in middle but i have yet to check which panel i have XD
But since only full white screen only noticeable, so i kinda just ignore it.
*
Manufactured in May 2022, Made in Indonesia.

The pink tint should be very noticeable when you view the screen with full white from the side at a steep angle.

But the best way is the check by accessing the service menu, either by a service remote or ColorControl software.

Nice~ any improvement after the update?
I wish every time we exit an app it won't go back to last source and stay on the app page...

Overall the OS feels snappier. The home page loads up faster - feels like a new tv lol. Worth the update.
