Is anyone using the 55" C8 and using the default stand? I'd like to know the actual distance between the screen and the ground.

Thanks.

65 " and 55 " are the same ,  roughly 5 cm .

Thanks for your reply. This is an issue for me as I plan to get the LG SL9Y soundbar as well and am worried that it will not fit underneath, or rather cover the bottom of the TV screen. Wall mounting is not an option which further complicates matters.

Do you know of a place where I can sample/review the C8 physically? I asked online and it seems that Harvery Norman don't have these in showrooms anymore.

Sorry bro. It was a 65 inch C8 on Harvey Norman Paradigm Mall. It was below RM10k but no mention of being display unit so I assumed it was new.

honest speaking, all new OLED come with few features to tackle the burn in issue, but no idea how effective on them...To me, as long as try not to display a permanent/static image for too long of time, then should be fine.

OLED TV's have auto screen saver or something like that if I'm not mistaken.

Had a look at the Desa Home Theatre sales. It's 5k for the 55" C8. Not really that cheap since it can be had for 5.6k new.

The super OLED TV's (W8, etc) are discounted pretty deep though.

I wonder if it fit honda city car

That's a good price for a display unit. I just bought a new one and will be delivered this Saturday.

Just hoping for feedback from anyone. I only have a soundbar and Xbox.

Better to connect Xbox to soundbar and then to TV? Or better Xbox to TV and then to soundbar? First time using ARC enabled TV so a bit blur.

If you don't calibrate your display like most of the TV buyers out there , you probably want to avoid the B9 .
LG is well aware their biggest competition of their OLED E and C series , comes from their very own B series .
Especially since it is cheaper ( in the oversea at least ) and has the same PQ performance and specs , as many have been saying since 2016 , why not ?
But things have started to change since 2018.
I have noticed the B series is on average , at least 100 cd/m2 (nits) dimmer below the C and E series .  At first I thought it may be just panel variance .
Now in 2019 , reviews from multiple AV outlets confirms my suspicion .
LG is starting to intentionally dial back the features and specs of the B series to make the C and E more appealing.
At the same time , the B9 must have skipped an important step in the factory calibration settings as well .
The out of box color accuracy is just unusually bad, it is horrendous . This is no isolated incident , it was mentioned on several other professional reviews as well.
This is strange because OLED TVs are usually pretty accurate . To the point the B series reminded me of those China's ABC brand TV you see below $2k.
Considering that the B9 has an inferior 3D Look Up Table (than C , E , W ), which means you will not be getting the same ultra accurate color accuracy you seen from the C , E  , W series .
The post processing features like smooth gradation and noise reduction efficiency have also been reduced to half .
This is going to be noticeable in some of the badly compressed material , such as the infamous Games of thrones Episode 3 from season 8.

Essentially , everything that won the C and E series the " TV of the year " award from TV shoutouts are absent on the B9 series .
$9000 is still a very attractive price for a 65" OLED TV especially one that has HDMI 2.1 ports readily installed . It still retains most of the benefits from an OLED display but the drawback is becoming more significant each year .
On a buyer's perspective , if you really can't afford the C9 , you are better off with a  65" C8  which should not be much more pricey than the B9 by now.
*
Great insight. Somewhat lessen the buyers remorse at my end after purchasing the C8. I guess that's why the prices of the C8 has not gone down significantly even though the C9 has been on the market for quite some time (I can only talk of the 55 inch range though). If anything, the C9 is actually getting cheaper by the day which somewhat bugs me.

Why not a 65 inch C8? It's basically a C9 with a slightly older processor and only around RM1k more.

Just a heads up, some good deals on Lazada for 11.11. Example, RM4,999 for 55 inch C8.

Have a look and hope someone can benefit from this.

Are you getting any extended warranty for the TV? I'm leaning towards it as this is my first OLED so not too sure about the TV's longevity.

Can the TV itself run VPN? Maybe that's why.

I'm using LG soundbar and TV with an Xbox as my media player. I go from Xbox > TV > soundbar/avr via ARC. Don't know why but Xbox > soundbar/avr > TV doesn't seem to work for me so it's forced upon me.

My friend uses an LG TV and Samsung soundbar setup and going though the TV works best for him (i.e. no conflict, loss of quality, etc.).

From AVR to TV, do you use the TV's ARC port or just a normal one?

Ok ok. Will try that again tonight.

Currently from my Xbox it goes to the TV and back to the soundbar. It works perfectly but looks a bit messy from behind.

Is it just me or is the wireless capabilities of the TV not as good as other media players?

Wanted to watch "The Witcher" on Netfilx (wanted to experience Dolby Vision and Atmos) on Saturday night and it was constantly buffering with blurry graphics.

I switched to playing Netflix via Xbox and everything was fine.

Is this normal?

For reference, I am using an LG C8 TV / Xbox One X and both were connected to the internet wirelessly.
