2017 LG OLED

[shadow84]

My hubby bought LG 4k oled 55inch for $2699 from mega discount store yesterday omg.. any kind soul that bought from bedok BD can pm me your receipt so we can request for a price match? Appreciate!

Does any shop in Singapore even practice price match or price difference refund? Dun confuse Amazon with Singapore though.

Hi..can I just check...I just bought a LG OLED 55C7T at $2649.....with a SJ8 at $499. And a free blu ray player..... Is the price consider best??

 

[Mscheapo]

Hi there. Whoa that's a little ex..you can get the 55c7 + sj8 for $2998. If still haven't delivered, please cancel order. Contact my salesman 8101 4173.

oh....thanks u...
Just to check ah...Is it your tv is $2699 SJ8 $299?

Not sure of the breakdown. I bought 55c7 + sj3 + 5 years warranty(3 years standard+ 2 years 70% coverage) for $2669. I paid $3299 first. My cashback was $730. $630 cold hard cash and $100 choice voucher. $3299-$630= $2669. The $100 choice is really cash cuz you can buy anything from supermarkets. So considering that it's $3299-$730=$2569.

My neighbour bought the 55c7(3years standard warranty) +sj8 @ $2998. He paid $3748 first and the cashback was $750 of which $650 was pure cash and $100 choice voucher. $3748-$750= $2998 from a different outlet.

My salesman had quoted me $2898 for 55c7+sj8. I had to pay $3648 first and the cashback was $750. Again,$650 pure cash and $100 choice voucher. $3648-$750= $2898. I gave this a miss because I was more interested in the $2569 deal as it had a 5 years warranty and I didn't need a soundbar as I have a really good Sonos system. They coudlnt deduct the price further so I just took the sj3 soundbar that came in the bundle and sold it on carousel for $200. So that's a further reduction $2569-$200= $2369. HAHAHA

eh not bad sia.

even the skyworth tv that uses the same panel c7 has is selling at 2103SGD in China

if u shipped over to sg, its abt 2.3ksgd also.

If you buy it directly from China, DVBT-2 tuner is not compatible for Singapore use.
Agreed is the same panel. Well, most thing are made in China now a day. Is just assemble at different place/country.

Anyone familiar with EG9A7T model or have feedback?

Link: http://www.lg.com/sg/tvs/lg-55EG9A7T-oledtv

I saw online that some forum mentioned that this model is actually a flat version of the 2015 EG910T, but not sure how true. If so means is not the new OLED panel? It's about half price of the C7T. Resolution is 1920 x 1080 vs. C7's 3,840 x2,160.

Will be paring with Sony HT-ST5000 so not too concerned about the on-board speakers.

Thanks.

[Asakura]

For OLED, never take a Full HD version due to OLED dot arrangement. Always get a 4K version.

Saw at Harvey Norman Millenia Walk. Thanks will try and do more research.

Thanks. I will do a bit more research on the for arrangement. I don't think I'll be watching much 4K content anytime soon / frequently . So see how much I can squeeze price for both down to.

quality macam youtube 1080p quality. any big or major diff if play on 4k led tv or 4k oled tv?

Hard to explain to such a question.

I have a 4K LED TV and a 4K OLED TV. Both from LG.
LG's TV does their own upsizing of low res contents including Live TV viewing. The quality improvement is quite observable when comparing to a 1080p LED TV.

The difference for getting an OLED TV versus a normal 4K TV is that we do not know whether some other brand of 4K TV models does upsample low res content to 4K.

Secondly, all the differences that sets an OLED TV apart from normal LCD based TV that you can find literally anywhere about it.

Any TVs other than OLED no matter what backlight technique they employ be it Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) or Edge-Lit can never meet the sheer different experience.

A simple test to do is to project your PC to your TV and then have a black background. Immediately, you will see the difference where there is literally no backlight shining through the blackness making your room completely dark with no way of telling where your TV is. Whereas, depending on which method an LCD TV uses, will have a shimmering black due to the backlight.

If you think the mid range Sony X9000 TVs are good and worth paying a higher price than even the LG OLED C7, try running your mouse around on a black background and be disgusted with a halo effect around your arrow versus just a floating arrow on the black screen. And even worse, on other LCD displays that doesn't have FALD and just use local dimming, watch as a huge row from top to bottom halo be light up just to shine a tiny little mouse on a 4K panel. That is just hilarious to see.

If you want a valid reason to buy an OLED, let me say this. Most of us are working. We'll come home in the evening. So most of our TV viewing probably takes place at night. This is where OLED makes sense for the most of us as the stark difference between light and dark can be seen even in SDR as long as the video source meant to have no light shining there.
Say goodbye to shimmering blacks. Finally shows like Star Trek really looks like you are in a dark space and not a dark grey space.

Also, this is probably why you think there is no difference if you were to view it at the shops. It is a brightly lit area. That is how they disguise the shimmering blacks on LCD TVs caused by the backlight. As the room is so bright that the backlight will not be as visible.

Our home lighting should not be that bright and even with my LED ceiling light turned on, I can still see the backlight throughout the entire side of the screen where there is any source of image being shone at the TV.

And if you think the nits of brightness is important, sure. That is your preference. But I would prefer not to burn my retinas like I would if I see the sun directly after a dimly lit scene let say a batman car chase and all of a sudden, they show the light from the helicopter that shines right at the camera as it passes by. Have fun being blinded with a 4000 nit TV vs a 1000 nit TV which I generally find is the sweet spot for my tolerance of brightness that I already experienced when watching HDR on it.

And in this regard, most of the time, you'll probably be watching a HDR video encoded for 1000 nits and... most of the time, we will be watching SDR content which will only need 100-200 nits. So yup, OLED makes more sense in these regards.

It's a real pity their larger panels are still too costly..

 

[produde1999]

quality macam youtube 1080p quality. any big or major diff if play on 4k led tv or 4k oled tv?

oled will make a difference compared to any led panels.

it's the blacks. Real blacks.

altho some flagship led also have, oled have
Blue light protection.
Good colors accuracy.

i disagree the working part.

just buy a curtain so u can use oled TV even if the sun is burning.

should always watch oled TV in absolute darkness.

 

[Asakura]

not a vast difference if the video is heavily compressed.

quality macam youtube 1080p quality. any big or major diff if play on 4k led tv or 4k oled tv?

I'll be watching 55" from just under 3m viewing distance. Questions:
- how good is the upscaling of SD, 720 or 1080 to 4K on the C7? Would this be better than any upscaling of content to 1080 on the A7?

- will rarely watch "real" 4K content. Would getting C7 with 4K upscaling capability make an impactful difference vs. watching native or upscaled 1080 on A7?

Thank you experts.

i believe if you can go Google rtings viewing distance vs resolution chart

from there u can see whether 4k is worth for u
