Yeah, that's insane, I have been waiting years for this and will not spend that much on it. That is just overpriced. I am happy to wait longer to not pay these ridiculous amounts for a 42" OLED.
Sales tax is additional in US, included here. Given the massive Australia tax TVs used to have, ~$250 effective difference is actually a huge improvement.
Not to mention the brilliant consumer warranty you get in Australia. In the US if your tv craps the bucket at 1 year and 1 day you’re screwed. In Australia you are entitled to a reasonable lifetime of that tv, so effectively that could be up to and over 5 years in some cases.
So a $250 difference in price to have a 500% longer warranty is bloody great value.
I think you need to purchase extra warranty to enjoy the 5 year warranty?
Is the C2 a meaningful upgrade on the C1?
Basically, no. The C2 has brighter highlights in SDR along with a couple of small accessibility/UI tweaks. Personally, I'd just save your money and get a C1 if it's available.
Here's a technical comparison
Yea I kind of agree, I ended up buying a G1 77" a few weeks back, it just didn't make sense to pay 2-3k more for a new model. Admittedly, the bright screen does make a nice difference, it wasn't significant enough to make that jump up. I think the other bonus is less change of burn in with G2, but i'm quite careful with how I use my tv.
77"? Damn, I'm jealous. Just got a 55" myself a couple days ago. The C1 does have a setting to help prevent burn in that you can activate, if you weren't already aware.
@irresistibl: I think the reviews for G1 and C1 both said there were still potential for burn in issues that the G2 and C2 largely solve.
@jaygee: You're absolutely correct, my apologies.
For anyone who's concerned with burn-in, the key is just to make sure you're watching varied content. Most people won't experience burn-in with their regular TV consumption, but it can occur. Rtings did a great real life test on OLED burn-in here for anyone interested
Shame JB don't list 42" C2 available. I can see it at HN and others available..
I just went into store and ordered the 42 model and got the discount included $2155
Hey man, is yours the WBE panel?
No idea. I wouldn’t get too worked up over getting the wbe though.
Oh and I got the gram jb hifi 2.1 cable and have screen flickering issues. So grabbed a crest cable from good guys in that deal and all is fine. Just something to note
Thanks mate, appreciated!
Hoping for 65 inch to price drop soon
The 65 is discounted to $3995 and add click frenzy code to take another 10% off
I’m now wondering to lay the extra 1k for c2 or get the c1
I got the C2 because there is a new enhanced Dolby Vision coming and will be compatible. Also I am in a dark room, and reduced screen uniformity is very important as I can see dirty screen in some particular type of scenes and can be distracting. Extra brightness is a benefit but wasn't really required for my use.
is the LG a better OLED TV than the SONY? Does the up to 5 year warranty also apply to the SONY OLEDs?
Sony Oleds have better upscaling for SD and 720P, free to air channels will look better on Sony tv.
Anyone chasing a 77" c2? I have a corporate offer and can get it sent direct from LG.
Message me if so
Thanks for sharing. Just don't understand why C2's price is so expensive in Australia. In US the 42'' model only sells for $1399 USD (equivalent to around $1980 AUD), but in Australia the price is around $2400+ :S
