Came across this deal yesterday. OLED 55" C7 @ $2799 Courts CWP, Free $100 choice voucher and Sony CT290 soundbar. Salesman: Kevin

edit: $2799 is after cashback though. buyer have to do the trade-in of free tv on his/her own.

YOU mean $2799 and still comes with $100 voucher and sound bar ?
That’s quite good price. How much is 5r sound bar worth ?

Just my personal review after playing with my c7 for a few days. Note that I may have missed some stuffs and I welcome everyone to add to my opinions.

Setup:LG c7 with LG sj8 via hdmi, connected to pc using a GT1030 graphics card.

On the LG c7
- LG content store feels a bit underwhelming. Only the common apps are there. Netflix, amazon prime, YouTube, plex, and a few others only. Not much interesting stuffs
- the internal speakers are a big let down.
- the hdmi input lag is noticeable in my opinion, unless you change to GAME MODE. If you don't, you will notice your inputs (like keyboards and mouse) will have a noticeable delay in reaction.
-the input ports are on the far left of the tv... Might be abit inconvenient for some people.
-has YouTube casting for devices on same network. Also allows auto switch on from youtube casting from devices on same network

On the sj8
-the maximum volume seems quite high, but I don't dare on to the max if not my neighbour complain.
-the bass however doesn't feels as powerful as what I experience in the showroom. Maybe it's the enclosed showroom that made the diff.
- sj8 has multiple modes of input. Including hdmi, optical, WiFi, Bluetooth and LG tv (I have no idea what is this).
- the WiFi feature can be engaged to enable music casting from any supported device on the same network. Cool feature. I use my ipad to control the sj8 to play radio stations sometime. But it's abit not intuitive. Maybe it's a software issue.
-there is a simple equaliser but not very extensive.
-allows on off together with TV if the sj8 is in ARC mode.

$2799 is after trade-in of the free TV. And yes, you still get the $100 choice vouchers + Sony CT290 soundbar.

Can be a hassle since have to physically go down to redeem and trade-in the TV, but it's good if you wish to accumulate CC points/rebates/miles etc since Courts will charge you the full price($2799+$600). For myself, I used the AMEX Cashback card, should be 3% cashback for new cardholders

The 2018 Oled is very good .. comes with google assistant built in... self calibration mode... 120Hz... feels like upgrading to 2018 models

The c7 does support 120Hz too.

But given the bandwidth of hdmi 2.0, you can only use 120hz at 1080p or below.
