Reviews for LG’s newest OLED are starting to arrive, and quite unsurprisingly, given their PQ dominance the last few years, it remains KOM. LG’s 2019 C9 OLED TV is the best-performing TV I’ve ever tested at CNET. In 2018 I said the same thing about the C8 and in 2017 I said the same thing about the C7. Year after […]

Unfortunately, the “B8″ LG OLEDs aren’t included in the price/availability list that has just come out, but there is some great news when it comes to pricing – generally downwards from the previous year. For example, the 77” C8’s MSRP is $8,000 compared to the $15,000 of the C7. LG SIGNATURE OLED TV AI ThinQ W8 77-inch class (76.7 […]
Read moreThis isn’t the first time I’ve run across Skyworth at CES, but it is the first time I’ve noticed an OLED display in their booth. Like everyone else, the panels are sourced from LG, so that’s not particularly interesting. What is quite engaging however is the expected price point of the displays when they come to the US later this […]
Read moreIf you are in the market for a OLED display I would recommend having a look at Vincent’s comparison of two of the top contenders. While very thorough, there is an important thing not mentioned; the LG’s significant price advantage. Personally, I took two things away: maybe it would be good to wait another year for OLED and it’s great […]
Read moreIf you were waiting for OLED to get perfect, it might finally be time to grab one. Interestingly, all the 2017 LG OLEDs have the same panel and SoC, so the excellent performance should be consistent across all models. No reason to pay extra for the fancy looks. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to go hands-on with the […]
Read moreI’d really, really like an OLED TV, but with a still quite decent PDP to “make do” with it’s been a bit difficult to justify the purchase; especially given #3 on CNET’s “should I upgrade” questions. Even if you’re not in the market. It is a good breakdown of what’s out there, and how much it will hurt to bring […]

LG’s OLED display continue to review very well, with some improvements from previous years. It’s actually this reasonably rapid improvement that makes me hesitate the most when it comes to picking up an OLED display. The sweet spot within LG’s 2016 OLED television lineup is undoubtedly the E6 series: it’s less expensive than the flagship “Signature” G6 series, yet offers […]

Unless you get a killer deal, or just absolutely cannot wait a few months, now’s probably the wrong time to buy a high-end 2015 4K display. Much better to wait until the 2016s are well established, and pick up one of those or swoop in and pick up one of these from the bargin bin (if you can). That said, […]
Read moreLG announced their “Signature” OLED 4K displays at CES, and they are just starting to trickle out into a limited number of high-end showrooms. Until I get a chance to go have a look myself, I’ll be relying on others to tell us what they think. HDTVtest is very reliable when it comes to this sort of thing so, if […]

If you had a hard time not grabbing one of LG’s OLEDs last year, it’s going to be even more difficult this time around. Their outstanding displays have only gotten better; both in the picture quality and the eye candy quadrants – with the G6 ‘Signature’ line at the top. Naturally, if you’re going to drop $8K on a display, […]
