    • jerome on 10/01/2019 - 10:29

      Just wondering how can you trigger the Domayne AMEX offer by buying from Harvey Norman?

      • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2019 - 12:13

        You won't trigger the offer by purchasing from HN.

        You'll need gift cards from Domayne which also work at HN, and redeem these towards your purchase instead.

  • C0mbat on 10/01/2019 - 09:18

    If you have multiple AMEX cards then buy the e gift cards to stack the Amex offer. I did that on two cards then got Harvey Norman to price match Myer when they had 10% off down to $1799. Getting $300 cash back on Domayne gift cards via 2 Amex cards got me the TV for $1500.

    • eciuj on 10/01/2019 - 09:38

      Pretty sure you can just ask the store to split the payments. I did that at Freedom on two AMEX cards to double the reward.

      • lostn on 10/01/2019 - 11:40

        My cards have different signatures on them, and AMEX seems to always require signature. So when she sees me signing with 3 different sigs, it's going to look fishy. Better to go the GC route.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2019 - 12:11

          AMEX seems to always require signature

          That's because those cards have not been set up with a PIN.
          Easy to do online - but generally done at the time of activation anyway?

          • lostn on 10/01/2019 - 12:58

            @[Deactivated]: They do require a pin.

            You can't go pinless if it's over $100 or some small limit.

    • slimdusty on 10/01/2019 - 18:01

      Confirmed that this stacking method works (which I have done successfully in the past as well like you):

      Got 4 lots of $750 gift cards from Domayne with 4 Amex cards, paid for the 65" B8 OLED at HN online - just got an email saying it is ready for pick up - ended up paying $2,395 (after $600 Amex cash back) - happy with the deal :-).

      Should try this if you have registered your Amex cards.

      • daitro on 10/01/2019 - 11:34

        The letter prefix doesn't change, the number suffix does. The prefix is the tier of the TV, B/C/E/G/W/Z(new top-end as of 2019), from least expensive to most expensive. The suffix is the generation. Why @elyxar mentions eyes is because LG's 2019 line-up is the first brand to support the HDMI 2.1 spec, allowing for HFR (high frame rate) & VRR (variable refresh rate) at higher resolution at 4K also allowing for 4:4:4 chroma subsampling which provides pure crisp text rendering when hooked up to an operating system like Windows.

    • serpserpserp on 10/01/2019 - 10:26

      Not really. The C9 won't be a vast improvement over the 8. Only in technical specs (supposedly HDMI 2.1), not really image quality. Most people won't be able to tell the C8 and C9 apart.

      C9 supposedly out in Feb @ JB Hifi (most likely the very end of Feb). The new Sony's are out in March supposedly.

      Supposedly the Panny's this year will support DV which is the big thing holding me back from buying it now. Can't wait to see what the price will be!

      • murphinator69 on 10/01/2019 - 10:31

        How much will the C9 and B9 versions be released at? I'm considering getting the 55 B8 for my parents, it hits a sweet price point.. they're still rocking a square tv :/

        • daitro on 10/01/2019 - 11:36

          Yes, it will. It isn't coming to last year's TVs (8 series). Samsung will add it too and add the itunes store app.

      • daitro on 10/01/2019 - 11:39

        (supposedly HDMI 2.1)

        Not supposedly, it's official.

        And through the inclusion of HDMI 2.1 ports, all 2019 OLED TVs and selected NanoCell TVs with ThinQ AI will support high frame rate (HFR). The result is smoother and clearer motion at 120 frames per second for better rendering of fast-action content such as sports and action movies. Support for enhanced audio return channel (eARC) enables home theater enthusiasts to seamlessly utilize HDMI connectivity and enjoy the highest quality audio formats available with superb detail and depth. An excellent option for gamers, the new TVs are compatible with variable refresh rate (VRR) as well as automatic low latency mode (ALLM) which helps deliver a clean image, without stutter or tearing.

        • serpserpserp on 10/01/2019 - 11:54

          Not full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 potentially as it isn't spelt out in the press release. Check the comments in Vincent videos.

          • daitro on 10/01/2019 - 11:57

            @serpserpserp:

                  @daitro: Where was his response on the HDMI 2.1 issue? His current video is basically just parroting the press release. That was done before he headed to CES.

    What's better Dolby Vision or HDR10? Do 4K HDR blurays support both formats?

    • Ryballs on 10/01/2019 - 11:50
      +1

      Dolby Vision is better as it is dynamic and can adjust to your TVs maximum brightness, whereas HDR10 is static and mastered for 1000 nits (which most TVs can't achieve). HDR10+ is starting to be supported now, which is the dynamic version of HDR10. Most HDR blurays use HDR10 but there are still a few DV ones out there. Netflix mainly uses DV.

      • serpserpserp on 10/01/2019 - 11:54

        Therefore, wait for the new Panny's and have both?

          Yeah looks like only Samsung and Panasonic are supporting HDR10+ for now. Then you have Advanced HDR and the new HLG format. Getting kinda ridiculous..

          • daitro on 10/01/2019 - 12:24

            @Ryballs: People complain about monopolies and then also complain about competing standards. One has to win out eventually lest we'd still have HD-DVD and Laserdisc.

    • skittlebrau on 10/01/2019 - 12:23

      I don't know if there's just more effort put into the production (in terms of cinematography) of Dolby Vision titles, but there is a quite a dramatic difference between regular HDR10 and Dolby Vision in the movies (BD 4K, Netflix) and TV series (Netflix) that I've seen.

  • Ryballs on 10/01/2019 - 11:43
    +1

    In my opinion processing has always been the weak point of LG TVs. I found the Alpha 9 processor in the C8 provides a considerable improvement in picture quality vs the B8's Alpha 7.

    • nateboy on 10/01/2019 - 12:23

      Not disputing this (personally, as I'm not an authority), just observing that this would be contrast to a lot of reviewers out there saying the difference is very small?

      Not sure how people view CNET, but to quote "If you've been eyeing a new OLED TV recently, maybe you're wondering about the C8, which costs slightly more and has a newer video processor than the B8. Lemme cut to the chase: in my side-by-side comparisons, that processor does help the image a tiny bit, making the C8 ever-so-slightly better than the B8 for image quality, but it's not worth the extra money in my opinion. "

      https://www.cnet.com/reviews/lg-oled65b8pua-review/

      • Ryballs on 10/01/2019 - 15:15

        Now that I think about the difference I saw was more likely due to C8 HDR peak brightness being about 30% higher than B8, rather than the processor. Perhaps "considerable" is too strong a word, but when looking at the two models in a showroom the C8 definitely looked better to me.

    • Diji1 on 10/01/2019 - 12:30

      I haven't looked into it but I see people saying it has one added feature (black frame insertion). Which as far as I know is used to make sources with framerate that doesn't divide evenly into 60 such as 23.whateveritis film look better than previously.

      • Ryballs on 10/01/2019 - 15:22

        I think they both have BFI? Not sure. I would definitely be using BFI if my 2014 OLED had it as I have never been a fan of LG's standard motion interpolation.
