      hoping the CX comes down closer to 2k in coming month/s with release of 2021 models. Wonder if we'll see sub 2k like the C9 last year!?

        From what I've read, new 2021 models will come in cheaper than the 2020 models did at release, so I'm hoping these '20 models get a solid discount!

          Oh how I regret horribly not jumping when those deals were a thing. You definitely made the best decision with that. Curious though which model you got. C9 for about $1770 or so was the best deal I remember seeing.

              @d3ft: that's a sweet deal. I would have jumped in myself if I'd known CX pricing would be what it is.

        • inconspicuous on 18/03/2021 - 17:38

            @Bunnyburger: LG raised prices before covid. For whatever reason. Maybe just early product cycle on new models? Could be covid after that.

            Or they possibly "Pulled an Apple", so to speak.

      Minor differences, probably the most stand out feature I noticed is the amount of HDMI ports that support version 2.1 otherwise they are almost identical.

      • TimR31 on 17/03/2021 - 17:50

        I think the HDMI 2.1 thing will become less trivial as time goes on, so unless you're a frequent upgrader I think that matters.

        But bigger than that for me is that with the "X" generation, they changed a long standing thing that the B shared the exact same panel as the C (and I think the E?). Not sure if it's just software, but the X generation made it so the B has a lower peak brightness than the C (you can see it in your Rtings comparison). If you have the TV in a low-light environment, probably not a big deal. But if it's going to be used with blinds open during the day, the C is worth it for that extra punch.

        You can usually negotiate, especially depending on the stage in the life cycle.

        Around this time last year I got the 65" B9 for around $2450 from TGG when the list price was $2999 just by asking around.

        Actually wanted the C9 but the discount offered wasn't good enough compared to the B9 so the B9 it was.

        • onlinepred on 17/03/2021 - 13:47

      Going by the YouTube vid above, the C177 could launch for around $6k AUD, as the prices for the 77 look like they may be finally in line with the pricing steps of the 65 / 55.

  • Bernbaum on 17/03/2021 - 14:08

    Have been loving the 65" CX since getting it last week. The Myer sale put it in my budget, and I had $700 of credit with Myer (a store I don't shop at often), so it was a sensible option for me.

    I wonder how far off the 2021 replacement models are from being announced.

    • t00p00r on 17/03/2021 - 19:48

      • Bernbaum on 18/03/2021 - 08:59

        It was stuck in "Preparing" on the order tracking.

        I rang them up to confirm I was going to receive it, as when I placed my order the store listing immediately changed to "Out of Stock" and I was concerned that they wouldn't have a unit to fulfil my order. They were able to confirm over the phone that I had indeed been allocated a unit, and it was delivered 2 days later. Overall, I think it took 8 days.

        Give them a call via the MyerOne service if you're a member.

      The CX handles reflection very well.

      There's also a tonne of Dolby Vision content on Disney+ and Apple TV. We've started watching a lot more content on those services, so the majority of what we watch justified the investment into a better HDR presentation.

      Some people have (dark) theatre rooms.

      The smart gui experience and available apps varies greatly. Cheaper can be killer regardless of panel type.

      I'm just saying that youre off the mark for many people.

      I agree so far as don't buy an oled for a bright room. I did and it was a mistake.

      55" is not too small lol. Your average household does not even have 55".

    • Drakesy on 17/03/2021 - 14:30

      Ok
      Not to be the devils advocate, but i bought a $1200 tv 4 years ago with HDR and probably 30-40% of the footage is HDR off Netflix or PS4 and it does make a considerable difference.
      My parents bought an LG OLED and i can comfortably say the difference is night and day with the blacks and brightness/detail of scenes so much so that I'm now looking to upgrade to one. The OLEDS also perform much better in standard viewing conditions as well in terms of Picture quality.

      The stronger Aussie dollar will hopefully do wonders, if only we could get American prices here.

    • rhino015 on 17/03/2021 - 16:48

      I disagree with you and agree with everyone else. The reflections is all about the surface material mainly, and that's as good as anything else. Brightness figures of these are better than the LCDs most people have from a few years back who bitch about OLED brightness haha. And really, overall brightness is not the whole picture. All that is is an intense LED behind the panel in your face washing out some things you don't want washed out. The brightness paired with the extreme contrast at a pixel by pixel level means you can have the blackest of blacks right next to a pixel that is the maximum brightness. Then right next to that could be the blackest of blacks again. That contrast makes it far more effective than just sticking a brighter torch behind the panel and touting the brightness figure, while washing out the black in the middle and making it grey.

      How many people spend all day during the day with the curtains fully open and the sun beaming directly onto the tv panel anyway? That's just a poor setup. Rearrange your room and close a curtain. I'd also be surprised if many people who can afford these aren't working during the day rather than watching movies lol. Or at the very least, can afford a curtain and can arrange their room appropriately for their TV usage. Anything short of direct sunlight on the panel is definitely not an issue.

              @The king: Hopefully.. don't forgot to tag me if you see a 'bargain'.

              Unfortunately I don't think we are going to see any reasonably priced large OLEDs any time soon.

              There's only LG and Sony left in the Aust Market (for OLED) and the fact LG makes the panels for Sony, due to lack of competition, there's no business case for LG to drive prices down.

              I'll probably wait for my 10yo Plasma to die.. picture quality on 1080P is still excellent. As is watching FTA is still acceptable. FTA look terrible on LED TVs.

              I don't really feel like spending $5-6k on a LG/Sony OLED only to get a 1 year warranty. Being a premium product, I would expect at least 3 years warranty.

              Would be great it a company such as Hisense started making OLED to drive prices down, they provide a 3 year warranty on all their products. You can see why their market share is growing. These days, I'd buy a Hisense over Samsung. I don't have faith in Samsung TVs and appliances anymore.

              • The king on 18/03/2021 - 12:23

                @JimB: Sure mate, I will keep in mind and definitely tag you if i see any good deals.

                I agree with you, lack of competition will not going bring price down and may be new models of mini LED TV's will going to make some price drop for last year OLED TVs.

                I am not in rush to buy TV and happy to wait to get good bargain. Waiting games continues :)

                • JimB on 18/03/2021 - 12:36

                  @The king: Thanks Elvis.

                  I too am hoping that mini LED will push prices for OLED down.

                  Unfortunately mini LED is still a while away (if it comes at all) and won't outperform OLED on PQ.

                  I won't get LED (mini or overwise) due to the viewing angle. If I can't watch my TV while cooking in my kitchen, then I'm not buying it.

                      Yes, it is brighter but viewing angle is not as good.

                      Good thing is consumers have better LEDs and choice.

                        @JimB: That'd be miniLED, which is still LCD with significantly more advanced FALD. MicroLED is basically OLED without the traditional drawbacks of OLED, though it has issues with it's own, difficulty in manufacturing being a big one.

                @JimB: I've got a Hisense from 2016 and it's a good set but I've heard some of the new models have issues. This was 2020 models. Maybe 2021 will go back to being good.
                Also under ACL you can argue that if you have paid a lot for something it should last at least a few years.

                • JimB on 19/03/2021 - 10:30

                  @Geoff-bargain: I haven't researched about the Hisense issue.

                  I agree that under ACL a premium TV should last more than 3 years, however it's hit and miss and not 'guaranteed'.

                  To me, when manufacturers give 12 month warranty it's a sign they don't have a huge amount of faith in their products.

                  In year 5, it's easy for LG to say it's been out warranty for 4 years and deny the claim.

                  Sony and Hisense provide 3 years warranty on TVs. In year 5, you an argue it's only been out of warranty for 2 years, and I think you'll have a much better chance of goodwill repair (than being out of warranty for 4 years).

                  BMW/Audi provides 3 years warranty. Kia, 7 years. We all know that European cars are less reliable after year 5. Looks at own driveway and see 3 European cars but at least I'm not kidding myself.. lol

    65" CX at $2500 deal or no deal..

    Rumor has it C1 65" will be better price points than CX.. so hopefully they get back to glory status when they start rolling out.

      This is European price. We must be getting Australia tax added.

    For those of you with access to union shopper through your work, I was quoted $2290 on the 55CX today. I’m tempted…the 65 was still $3300. Delivery on top is 55 bucks

    If anyone know about the laser projector? Haven't see many deals around in OZB.

    Not sure if I should spend $2000 to $3000ish for a new 65" TV, or just save up more to upgrade to the laser projector and the screen, I think the screen size is 100" to 120"?

    Actually come to think of it, it is not even for me, I already forgot when is the last time I watch my TV sigh, it is mostly for my old man and mom…

    So for those elders, which one is better? big TV or projector?

    Thanks in advance!

    Man its a shame Panasonic left the Australian Market.
    LG has no competition apart from Sony's 1 model and people who want the best wont go from Plasma to LCD so have no choice but to pay top dollar.
    I managed to get a FZ950 at a steal before they left the market. Absolutely phenomenal TV….The colour accuracy I believe is ahead of the LG OLED.

    Anyone with a Plasma don't bother with LCD. Spend the money and go OLED, worth every cent.

      No HDMI 2.1 or Gsync for you, farrk that

      • mblack77 on 17/03/2021 - 18:22

        HDMI 2.1 is overstated at this point. It won’t make much difference on a decent set that can upscale 1080 over 120Hz. Unless you’re a hardcore PC gamer, in which case it will. LG have done a great job marketing their sets as the choice of gamers, but that’s all it is - marketing.

    are these ok for ps5?

      The CX has HDMI 2.1 but I would wait for the C1 coming out soon. Others from the new 2021 range might be ok too because they are all meant to have HDMI 2.1 and the various features for consoles like VRR.
