Hey guys/girls,

Just speculating a bit. How much do you all think the RRP on the LG CX 48 inch OLED TV is likely to be at launch? This thing seems like the perfect partner for the new consoles coming out this year with it's full HDMI 2.1 support and 120hz refresh rate.

I have a 55 inch OLED tv for watching films and it's amazing, so this could be a great all-rounder.

The reason I'm asking is that I suspect demand for this TV is going to push the price artificially high. Probably close to the price of the 55 inch models.

What do you all think?

  I was wondering the same thing. It's ideal for a gaming setup. It'll be nice to not have to game in the living room anymore…

    You think they'll sell for well over $2000 before discount?

      It's U$1500 = A$2500. So A$2800-ish after GST. I also wouldn't put it past LG to price it at a round $3k given the current volatility of the AUD.

      Maybe $2k sales by end of year. But who knows with supply chains.

        Yeah hopefully we can see some deals close to 2k later this year.

          @locknuts: I just saw local pricing. No CX 48 yet, but CX 55 is AU$3,959 and BX 55 is AU$3,599. Expect the 48" to be only slightly cheaper than BX if we're following other territories.

          So it's more expensive than I thought. It'd take a miracle to get close to $2k before the end of the year, especially as 48" seems to be arriving later than other models.

            @SydStrand: Yeah that sucks. Hopefully we get a 48 inch model at some stage, but it's going to be ages until it's a decent price.

  Yep PC monitor for me. 48" seems perfect. I hope its under $2000. the c9 was $3500 "55 when it lauched and ppl paid it.
  I reckon $2300-$2500.
  I read somewhere its launch is going to be delayed because of Corona virus..
  maybe may june… Hopeully might get a small discount with End OF Finanical year sales?

  With LG making 48 inch OLED panels, I wonder if we'll see those panels used in Hisense or other cheaper tier brands…

    That's a good thought. Hopefully they come here in some other guise.

  Looking around and it seems like they are not planning to release this model in the near future. I was looking forward to use one a PC monitor as well. I have shot an email through to LG support team, to see if they have any plans to release this model in Australia. Probably worth shooting an email, so they see that more people are interested.

    "The 48-inch CX OLED is now available to buy in the UK, alongside its larger 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch sizes. We're told that it will land in “key European and Asian markets” over June, with the US and “other target countries to follow.”

    While we initially expected a wider release in May, ongoing production issues or Covid-19 disruption may have pushed that date further back than expected – but you can rest easy knowing it's now on its way."

    Hopefully Australia is included in the "other target countries".

  Still no price though….

  Based on UK pricing I predict a street price of around $2,750 at launch with sales bringing it down to around $2,200.
