  • When will we see 8K OLEDs in the standard series, 4K has been around since 2013!

    • +8

      But where are you even finding high-bitrate 8K content to utilize 8K OLEDs? The file size would be absurd.

      I ask because high-bitrate 1080p can actually look better than low-bitrate 4K. It's not just resolution that affects picture quality and overall viewing experience.

      • There are many benefits to 8K, the better models upscale HD/UHD to 8K and overall the panels have increased clarity, sharpness, pixel density which is beneficial specially on large panels. Not to mention you won't have PTSD when 8K content arrives (one day).

        • +6

          Upscaling isn't magic. Its not going to improve the image enough to make it worth caring about. It's mostly just to fit the native resolution of the tv.

          8k tvs don't necessarily have better clarity and sharpness as like you said it's really only beneficial on large tvs. 4k is plenty for 77" and below but as tvs get bigger 77" + will probably be 8k but currently thats out of the budget of regular people when it comes to OLED and high quality mini led. You can get 8k tvs and have been able to for 8 years but they aren't OLED meaning they will look worse anyway. Unless you want to pay this price https://premiumsound.com.au/product/lg-oled-z3-signature-8k-…

    • yeah feels like we have been on 4k for ever we need 8k!!

    • +2

      Because it's good enough and quality is being improved in other areas like brightness and new panel technology. When they make the perfect 4k tv they will probably then go to 8k. Also they need more adoption of the next gen codecs.

      Free to air is MASH, Golden Girls, I Dream Of Jeannie, The Nanny and Seinfeld.

      I do not want to see Fran Drescher in 8K nor hear her in Dolby Atmos.

    • Lots of power consumption issues with 8K TVs, and 8K OLED stands out amongst that, as well as issues in terms of contrast modulation (so effective resolution after considering light leakage due to pixel/sub-pixel sizes).

      Currently the EU and parts of the US have energy consumption regulations that make current 8K TV tech dicey for mass production and consumer use. The related technology is still being developed and put into monitors/laptops/VR/mobile, but they want to make the power consumption reduction more economical before they offer cheap 8K TVs.

      As an example, the 77" LG Z3 (the most recent 8K OLED) pulls down 265W for average power consumption, I believe. May be a peak value, but if that's true it would have woeful brightness.

    That promotion is now saying, excluding TVs for me. Anyone else?

    • WOW that was quick for them to shut down. You're right, the "Promotions" section has now been updated to say "Excluding TVs". Bloody hell!

    Few days ago there was a post about LG TVs, I wanted the C4 77" but it would show out of stock, I ended up ordering the C5 which came down to $4053.74 with the 15% discount. Its already been shipped and due to arrive today. If it hadn't I would be panicking so bad right now haha.

    Tandem OLED tech in this one, so well worth a look compared to every other LG OLED that has existed until now, still WOLED based so the same colour volume caveats but to a lesser extent.

    There's some sort of dithering tech involved to execute the tandem OLED, which becomes visible if you sit closer than intended.

    • do you mean this, varies by market too so worth looking into the exact model if this is a concern.

      (rtings.com)

      LG C4
      Type: OLED
      Sub-Type WOLED
      Subpixel Layout: RWBG

      The TV uses a WOLED panel with a RWBG pixel structure where all four pixels are never lit at the same time. Due to its subpixel layout, it has minor issues with displaying text on Windows since ClearType isn't well optimized to non-RGB subpixel layouts, but most users won't be bothered by this.
      The white subpixel does an excellent job helping the TV display bright whites, but it dilutes the color purity of greens and reds.

      Samsung S90D
      Type: OLED
      Syb-Type: QD-OLED
      Subpixel Layout: Triangular RGB

      The Samsung S90D (QD-OLED) uses a unique subpixel structure. Instead of having all three subpixels in a row, each pixel forms a triangle, with the larger green subpixel at the top. This leads to color fringing, which is noticeable when displaying any content with horizontal lines, and it's especially bad when you use the TV as a PC monitor. For example, on a bright window on a Windows PC, you might notice a green fringe at the top since that's where the green subpixel is. Similarly, you can notice a purple fringe at the bottom of bright windows, as that's where the red and blue subpixels are. Furthermore, with this subpixel arrangement, text has just okay clarity on a PC, as Windows ClearType settings aren't designed for this subpixel structure and can't correct for it. In North America, the 42-inch, 48-inch, and 83-inch sizes use a WOLED panel, which has a different subpixel structure than the other sizes of this TV. Internationally, the type of panel used varies by size and region. The TV uses quantum dots to achieve high color peaks with excellent separation between blues, greens, and reds. This gives the TV great color purity and allows it to display an incredibly wide range of colors.

      • No, I mean specifically the G5 panel only (except for the 97" model). Literally has two OLED panels in the mix, and at least one is WOLED.

        • ah ok good to know.

  • Yeah, I was trying for a few hours this morning before this deal was posted but they had no stock of the G5 77-inch model which is a shame as the price was coming up as $5354. Other screen sizes were coming up fine though such as the 55 and 65. A shame but it's not like they had stock of the 77-inch model anyway so don't feel as bad missing out.

    • did they have the 83" in stock?

    • By the sounds of things with how quickly they shut this deal down once I posted it, they might have cancelled your order anyway even if you had managed to place one.

  • Anyone get a TV?

    • +1

      @Hamdii just above said he managed to get the 77" C5 with the extra 15% off for $4053 the other day.

  • cashrewards has 13% cashback ending today but it's a bit sketchy on the terms and conditions. Not sure it will track will all the other discounts going on at LG website.

    Excluding TVs from the $4000 15% discount is a deal breaker for me

    • Yeah the problem is excluding TV's now makes the deal worse than it was before they started doing 20% off. At 10% off plus the 15% coupon, a 65" was $4053, now it's $4229, so $176 worse than the last couple weeks. "This deal is getting worse all the time…"

  • +3

    Honestly, I'm surprised they shut this down given that they had a pre-order price on the G5 77-inch model for $5600 just a couple of weeks ago so $5350 with the additional coupon isn't a notable stretch. Hopefully something similar pops for EOFY. Can't really justify spending more than $5350 for the G5 77-inch or for any TV for that matter so if it doesn't come back then I'll just keep waiting till it does.

    • Same, l'll just keep my 118" projector its fine at night ;)

  • There's currently an issue with HDR10 (SDR and DV not affected) content on these and the C5. I'm sure it's just a bug and will be fixed, but worth noting.

    • People talk about this bug due to strange contouring with shadows and near blacks in HDR but I have yet to see any visual evidence of this so can't in my head figure out if this is going to be something you can actually see in regular viewing. The near black noisy image is something that has always been there with WOLED panels though and that always bothered me, and the issue is amplified on larger screen sizes such as on my 77-inch CX. Is that the same issue that people are referring to or a different issue entirely?
