Been keeping an eye out for deals on the 83” C1’s and have come across this.
Don’t think it’s been cheaper than this price.

I can give you another 6" if you want
Stretching it THAT extremely, it's going to really hurt you.
Username doesn't check out 😝
Preempting CES 2022 announcements.
This is super tempting, it's great to see these prices, I think if the 77" is at $4500 as per previous deals, it would make for better value. I'd love more screen area, but $2k for another 6" seems to steep.
My thoughts too, the bigger the better but not sure I can stomach paying 50% more for a 7% increase in size. Great deal regardless imo
It's actually an increase of 16.19% (16,345 vs 18,991 cm2).
If I even considered buying a Tv like that for this price. Missus would hang me from from my leg
You don't have to hang from your leg to watch an OLED TV. You can watch them normally like any other TV.
I remember a time when people were paying $17k for a 50" Pioneer Kuro.
I agree though. $4500 is probably my limit so it's either 77" (up from a 55" Panasonic plasma) or just wait to see what LG and Samsung bring out next year in the OLED space.
Parents paid 12k for 65” Panasonic Viera plasma back in 2008 (45” was mainstream).Its still going strong to this day. The thing just wouldn't die ><‘
Wow that's insane, when you get think of it that is 13 years of us. Does that have any HDMI inputs? I know I had a Panasonic 32" in 2007 and it was not HDMI
@SoTightEcoLPI: Considering HDMI has been around since 2003 or so, I find it hard to believe any TV would not have it by 2007.
$12k really? My parents bought a 50" Panasonic Viera also in 2008 and paid $2500 for it (and $1500 for a 42").
I paid $2.5K for 50" Panasonic plasma in mid 2009. 65" must have been extremely rare, hence the huge price differential. Mine is still working very well and currently in the bedroom.
@Charlie Dont Surf: the 65" of the Panasonic was a newly released model, top of the range at the time along with the Pioneer TVs.
@Charlie Dont Surf: Got a 3D Panasonic Plasma 65” for about 2.9k in 2010.
Never used the 3D glasses but TV is a beast now that escaped the early burn in period.
They need to keep making plasmas for 4k and 8k :/
I paid $3K for a 42" Panasonic Plasma back in 2006. I recall it was the first model with HDMI (no digital TV tuner though). Made in Japan and it just wouldn't die. I still have it and is using it in my spare room. Have since upgraded to a 65" C1. I would still be using the plasma it if wasn't too small for my new place.
@Siuto: I got the 42 inch the day it came out in 2005 for $5500. I donated it to charity a year ago, after having it sitting in the house doing nothing for ages. Still going strong. Yes it was the first model for HDMI. Had to get adapter plugs to connect everything for the first year or so cos nothing else had it then
Yeah I have the Pioneer Kuro 50" (2008) and a Panasonic Viera 55" (2014)
Both are working well. The Kuro has a capacity hum every now and then which is why I have been looking/waiting for the C1 deals, but if it ever went pop we will survive, albeit with upset kids (or dad) whilst we fight over one TV screen for a while.I did see that Samsung is coming out with a OLED in 2022 with the QLED tech mixed in, so that will be a competitor to the LG OLED and might drive some better prices.
Plasma and OLED are both worth the high yield investment IMO. I paid $3k for 2nd gen LG 55" FHD OLED in 2014 and still looks better than most current 4K LCD.
And now I've seen 50" 1080p pioneer kuros for as low as $100 on gumtree. Kinda crazy really…
Tbh I'd imagine they compare reasonably well to a lot of modern ips and va panels in terms of colour, contrast, and likely handily beat them in motion handling. Weaker in terms of peak brightness and resolution. But you could easily do a whole lot worse for four times the money.
If I needed another tv I'd honestly snap one up.
I remember the Pioneer Rear Projection Widescreen 50” TVs which were over $10k back in the day and then seeing the first Fujitsu Plasma in DJs that was like $18k but was only 42” I believe,from memory.
the plasmas do use more power and weigh more though. My parents 65inch plasma probably weighs at least 50kgs I'd say.
I used to sell TVs in the early 2000s while at uni. 40" LG plasma without a tuner was $5k and it sold like hot cakes
Can't remember the resolution though
I remember my father paid well over 10k (15k if my memory serves me) back in the early 2000s for a 42in hitachi plasma monitor. the thing had no tuner ( had to get a digital set top box which basically only gave you nine HD with a looping video of landscapes) and no speakers. it's still going today in their bedroom. got a 60in hitachi plasma for around 10k later in the 2000s which had a motorised stand which was awesome. sold the thing for 200 dollars only 2 years ago when I got them a new 75inch tcl which has worse colours and I regret deeply. I think we're just all too jaded by the cheap prices we get today for electronics.
I reckon prices will drop even further when the new LG TV's are released:
https://www.engadget.com/lg-oled-ex-enhance-brightness-30-pe…
Usually I'd agree with you, but stock is so few and far between that I don't know if there will still be any once the new models are released.
We’ll see them in June at the earliest.
People always say that, but due to low stocks most cheaper deals are unobtainable.
This is tech, come on, prices always drop. Then again you always wants the next new thing and better.
They'll definitely get cheaper due to less wastage in the Mother Glass, it just takes time to roll through to consumers.
Replace the missus first and then buy the Tv
Damn. None in WA.
I’m struggling…. This or a 120” projector?
Unless you have a made for purpose room, this.
Nice price but feel like the G1 is the real CX successor.
This is almost as big as my TV.
(i sit really close to it cause im poor)
hold your amoled phone 5 inches from ur face
I used to, but my optometrist says No.
What on earth is your optometrist doing in your home?
Hard to justify this over the 77 for how much more it is..
Really enjoying my 77C1 atm :)
LG Unveils OLED EX, the Next Generation of Its OLED TV Tech
Get JB to price match and pay with 15% voucher to bring it down to around $5700?
where can you source such a voucher?
the supermarket ones, if you can get them
Mandingo
are there currently any active promotions on gift cards? I recall there being a limit per customer
bloody hell..for this price, you might as well buy a projector
OLED looks way better than a projector.
Correct.. But I'd rather have my 120"screen.. Each to its own I guess
have LEDs like thosr QLED or micro LED, basically the non-OLED 80+ inch TV technologies almost as good, if not, as good as the OLEDs these days? or are the OLEDs still way far ahead in terms of overall picture quality (not just deep blacks)?
The OLEDs still wipe the floor with all other technologies.
I need to buy one of these.
MicroLED isn't available yet but when it is they should be equivalent to OLED but brighter and without risk of burn-in.
I have an 82” QLED Q75R and also an LG 65” OLED. You can’t beat the OLED in terms of blacks but the Q75R has surprisingly very deep blacks. You won’t notice the difference unless they are side by side but each TV serve their purpose. My QLED is in our main lounge where there’s lots of bright ambient light. The OLED is in our secondary lounge room in a darker environment. The QLED gets much brighter is and is better suited in its location.
In the time i’ve had both there’s never been a time where i thought i wished i watched a show/movie on the OLED over the QLED. The blacks are great but only really noticeable if you’re watching in dark environment and they would need to be side by side.
I reckon it can be hit and miss with OLEDs, I know a few people with LG OLED TVs and most are OK but one of them within a few months was having some faint burn in from various tv station watermarks or things from video games (like a health bar in a video game for example). By about the 18 month mark the colours of the panel had started to change in the middle and eventually they got LG to come out and have a look - the tech walks in and says yep, you need a new panel just by looking at it and that it was really common.
They got a store credit and went with a Sony OLED instead and have had no issues since. Sure it is just one experience and many people have no issues, but I am wary of OLED now.
colours of the panel had started to change in the middle
don’t seem like “burn-in”. Burn-in is explicitly excluded from factory warranty - “Image retention is not a product defect.” TheVerge. Subsequently, they ”clarified”, but,… caveat emptor.
Don't think that would work here under ACL.
Image retention is temporary, burn-in is permanent.
Great if you like space movies or those 4k fireworks demos.
For sources with lots of white, light colours, given ABL - Auto Brightness Limiter, not so great. The more percentage white the dimmer it gets. Low nits.
I bought the 48 inch LG OLED for my bedroom and if amazing, absolutely lovely. If I hadn't have bought a Samsung 75inch last year during march madness, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
I bought the 83 C1 from TGG a month ago at $6700 with their 5 years store warrenty and they mentioned the TV alone can be $6500 (free delivery included).
Arent extended warranties essentially pointless these days? For a tv of this value you could easily get LG to warranty it for 5 years based on consumer warranty rights yeah?
I wouldn't say they are pointless (as some people don't want the hassles of pushing consumer warranties) but I think TGG/LG should repair a top of a line TV for up to 7-8 years without any costs.
Recently watched 1917 on my Panasonic OLED……Yep Panasonic who need to come back and sell TV's in Australia as they have the best image accuracy.
Anyway the scene when it turns to night had me in AWE. It was incredible, the best television experience I have ever had….OLED is just on another level.
I rewatched the same scene on the highest end SONY LCD and it looked like a Big-W TV in comparison.
OLED worth every penny….good to see the prices coming down.Prices coming down because 2022 LG EX next-gen Oleds are coming in 2022 that are 30% brighter and use an updated processor….
Also Samsung are releasing QD-Oled's and traditional Oled's tooPanasonics are too expensive albeit reliable (personal experience with their plasmas) hence cant compete on price with LGs who manufacture their own panels. Panasonic built things to last and didnt have the concept of ‘planned redundancy’ in mind so they rarely got repeat business.
Wish there was a non-smart Tv like this.
One that doesn’t track your usage, I’d rather use a PS5 to watch Netflix anyway.
Why is the G1 never on sale?
Its $6990 now. Oh well.
Wow the prices of these OLED's are getting better every day.
I paid $6,450 for my 77" just over a year ago…..who said size doesn't matter - I want another 6"
