There appears to be promo discount when you add C3 OLED & SC9 sound bar to cart, & then code CLICKFRENZY23 brings price down by another 10%. Nets back to decent price for brand new model C3 OLED:
OLED77C3 = $5503.95 (instead of $6795)
OLED65C3 = $3478.95 (instead of $4295)
OLED55C3 = $2668.95 (instead of $3295)
Looks like SC9 sound bar comes with bracket that becomes the stand or part of wall mount for C3 OLED - its price comes down to $1214.19
The OLED EVO was a newer panel introduced in the G2 and C2 range that is brighter
It was on the C2 range as well. Look it up if you care for the technical details - but it's overall brighter and less screen burn apparently.
(To add to other commenters, alot of late-model C1s also have an EVO panel, like mine).
Forums, reviews and the general interwebs pushed people toward the EVO panel, which was their "next gen", brighter and hardier OLED panel tech used on the G series. I guess LG picked up that sentiment and decided to plaster it all over their marketing material for the C2+, even though it could be found on older models without EVO branding.
Nevertheless, this post is not a bargain IMO. Wait, or find a C2.
C3 already!
Still happy with my C1 purchased during covid.
Still happy with my B7
Blimey, it’s better than the c1, but not 100% better
It’s also better than the c2…but not 80% better!
If you want the best, this is it…but you’re paying the early adopters tax!
(Purchased a 65” CS which has a G1 panel in back in jan for $2.3k, I’m very happy )
You got a great deal - that's the same price they were wanting on the end of season runout sales too. I decided to give this Evo business a go and nabbed a G2.
Better than a S95C?
How did you work out what kind of panel your CS has? I've got a 55" and am curious.
I'm too busy (lazy) to create a deal, but you can currently do this same bundle thing at HN with code XTRA 10, and in addition you receive not insignificant gift card bonuses
Yeah id be on the c2… bur the 83" is out of stock, annoyingly they dont say theyre out of stock - abd have the normal add to card button there! But when you press add to cart a red box pops up telling you its out of stock…
C2 owner, had it for 5ish months
no burn in, daily use 8+ hrs work/gaming/movies
Yup. Burn-in only happens to they other guys.
Happened to me with a B7 but well out of warranty, LG came and replaced the panel, no dramas , worked a dream and fantastic now. Still great picture still.
FYI
For those who are patient you can wait for the next LG SpinandWin and I was able to purchase the G3 77" for $4,200 (50% off) or 50% off any TV model on sale through their website for that matter.
Bit of a long game but it paid off for me 🙂
how often does that normally happen?
Probably more relevant while it was active. Now that it has ended, not sure when is the next one… if there is one…
It happened once or twice prior to myself entering it seems to happen roughly every 6-12 months.
Thought it might be able to help someone in the future :)
Yep, I was able to score 50% off with the spin and win promo in Jan 2023.
LG CS 65" OLED TV for $1,388.00
Promo not available with 48 inch c3 :(
Need 83" deals that arent Appliance Central. They dont deliver to SA at all rip
From my limited research, the C3 might not be worth it this year.
The G3 on the other hand with its new MLA tech is definitely worth thinking about, it has the biggest ever jump in brightness between generations and fantastic viewing angles.
Yes, that is why I am waiting for the G2 or C2 to go on clearance because the C3 is lacking the latest MLA tech which is in the G3. Don't think the C3 has enough new tech in it to warrant the new item price tag.
can anyone educate me what their "OLED evo" means? I've never seen the "evo" part in the C1 or C2
