The key to be happy everytime buying a nsw tv is , make sure it is better than your existing 7 yr old tv . once you bought it , dont ever bother to read about newer models , tv reviews etc for another 7 years , or your tv is damaged . it is easy right . save money and headeache . 20 years ago , when we bought a tv , we were so happy and tv lasted more than 10 years . hapinesss is inside our mind . do not let others influence or tell you whst to do in life .
Fun anecdote, this year I found a new in box LG E8 OLED (2018) at a store. They had lost the tv for some time and had recently added it back into stock. Their system showed the original price around $3500, and when I asked for the clearance price the punched it in and....$400. I've never bought a tv so fast in my life.
I never buy the newest TV on the market, and never have regrets because it's always a better quality TV than the one it's replacing in my house. So if I buy last year's model TV and it's replacing a 5-6 year old TV, it's will be an improvement. No regrets and it saves me money.
@@ATH-camChannelwithNoName well actually it's a 2014 model bought in 2015. Sony XBR-65X850B. It's still running great and has 3D support. I've held out buying a new one because I like watching 3D movies and playing some 3D games from time to time.
Its always difficult to buy a TV. If you buy a TV whens newly released it will be damn expensive. When you wait for the price to be lower, newer TVs are released and the cycle will keep repeating.

In my country (Switzerland) in the month befor black Friday all prices will rise so the discount seems higher on black friday. Best here is in January/February/March for TVs or sometimes on Black Friday or Cyber monday itself.
Thought it depends on the brand and shop. But agreed, and, highly recommend to use price comparison tools. Although we are still in the Stone Age here in Switzerland, there are such tools available...
Great video. Finally a TH-camr who says that unless you want to spend insane amount of money on the top of the line 2021 TV, save money and grab an awesome 2020 model (2020 LGCX). 😂
One big consideration for me concerning whether to get a CX or C1 is the VRR issues reported in the CX model. My understanding is that variable refresh rate exposed a panel problem with overcharged pixels causing raised black levels and/or flickering. If this issue is fixed in the C1 model that would make it an easy choice. It would also be nice to see the return of full 48gbps HDMI 2.1 ports.
That new OLED evo panel sounds great honestly and worth a few hundred dollars extra. The 2020 models did very little to upgrade from 2019, but this is a great change worth waiting for
Hi Vincent, I like how you add some "structures" at the end of the video! I remember that you asked us about the free chat style vs structured style a few weeks ago, and you went back to free chat style since. I think a similar hybrid approach shown in this video is quite good!
Was able to buy an LG 65 NANO 85 for $896USD and LG 82” 8570 for $1596 this week. Crutchfield was offering a $300 combo discount on LG sound bars as well so added an SN8YG for $496. Feel very good about this pricing. Replacing a 9 year old Bravia 55” so I’m sure it will be a massive improvement for Less money than I originally gave for the Bravia
Just bought the LG 65 GX for $3450 AUD. The 65 G1 is not available in Australia just yet but is literally just weeks away and retailers are clearing spaces for the the 2021 LG OLED range. Very happy with the price I paid given this years model will likely retail above 5 grand.
Where I live ''Store prices'' at launch are usually very, very not-set-in-stone so to say. Q90T had a 2000+ launch price, but you could get it for 1599 if you simply asked. Then when the price actually dropped to 1600, you could only get another 100 off by bargaining and it wasn't until the end of November you could get a much better price than that here. So if you're interested: just ask if they're up for making a deal and you might save yourself waiting 5+ months ;p No guarantees, but it might just work. For instance if you now ask for a discount on the 1199 55'' LG CX they'll simply say ''20 bucks off + Free shipping'' at max. So I could've gotten that model in October for the same price by simply asking.
@@seanwilson9502 Netherlands :p It's kinda like the store wants to make between X and Y percentage profit on a given TV. The manufacturer hands them the prices they should be sold at... but if it means the store sells twice as many models at the lower price and they still make their targetted profit margin... well... why not make a few deals here and there? Ends up in more profit for the store and as long as the store doesn't advertise with those crazy prices on their website they're not doing anything illegal or frowned upon either. It's basically like going to a (used) car dealership in the US for instance.
Buyers remorse? OMEGALUL I got an LG 55" C8 (aka 2018 model) July last year for about $1000 / ~820 Euro (55" OLEDs dont usually go below 1k euro around here, especially the C model). Im set for the foreseeable future, idc what comes out. Great video as always tho!
The LG GX 55” isn’t as bright as the new LG G1. But the 2020 model has dropped down from £2300 to £1499 in Feb 2021. While the LG G1 specs are better. I’m delighted with the £800 saving and the GX looks great. Why buy an LG CX or C1, when a couple of hundred pounds extra gives you a GX?
@@Zwolly I wanted wall mount. But CX is the way to go in the next 6 months, if you want a great new tv, with little improvement offered by C1 in 2021. It also took LG months to include standard tv channel apps in the UK for a new model previously.
@@Zwolly Panasonic for best movies, LG for best tv series, movies and console/pc gaming - particularly with dark sceness, Sony for best sport viewing and Samsung if you like an oversaturated colours look (Nintendo like I find).
My fantasy dream is me buying a QN85A Neo QLED 4K Smart TV from Samsung as they just announced Dolby vision support... I do know for a fact it is confirmed G-Sync is coming for this brand which excites me as I have a beast rig with a rtx3080 card in it and plan on mostly gaming on it but knowing it is at a slight disadvantage with image due to samsung being tight asses is kind of a deal breaker for me...Unless Samsung do a huge flash sale of stock then I may leap on it. EDIT: Thankyou so much Vincent for your insight.. You are a time saver once again and then some and deserve respect and success!
Prices are actually cheaper than last years opening prices. Imo it's great time to buy, I dont think samsung TV will get a discount until black Friday time. Also where did you hear there is Dolby support? I didn't see that anywhere
@@dean4611 Re read my first sentence. I was saying in my dreams they would therefore giving me 100% confidence in the brands quality being higher...Hell if TLC can do it for cheaper sets Samsung can... Anyways I agree they are cheaper than the previous gen. I was quite surprised myself. I am so excited to see this huge leap in dimming zones! Also the neo led's although being smaller emit apparently twice the brightness of the previous generation! Hugeeeee leap.
Great consumer advice video. And yes, great fun thumbnail too. Thanks Vincent, keep up the good work. I don't know if I'd have the patience to wait any longer for the Sony A90J 😁👍
Thanks Vincent, As always your a strait shooter with the info, and it's greatly appreciated. I always know where to look if I want the real scoop, and I get the bonus Easter egg laugh. Can't beat that.
In my country there are currently offers for the 65" LG CX6 OLED for £1195 (1380EUR). That is a really, REALLY good price and I bought one immediately. :)
There‘s a general rule of thumb: never buy a first gen product - as seen by some of the HDMI 2.1 consoles/TVs... Is the new panel that some of the OLEDs use just a minor upgrade or something new that one might want to wait if there are unforeseen issues due to the green emitting layer and/or use of deuterium?
Second rule of thumb: avoid last generation product. Example: QD-OLED coming out in 2022. It's first generation, so don't buy. At the same time, if you wait until next year it will be second generation and a considerable step up to "regular" TVs.
One thing to consider from what I was reading on the AVSForums is that QC on the first shipment of TVs is supposed to be better than later ones. Reason being these tvs end up as review units and essentially end up being word of mouth from first users who get them. Thats why you rarely hear about too much uniformity issues with all of the review units yet you start to hear about lots of uniformity issues on forums.
@@Chris-jt4ux Exactly! I would say the exact opposite is true as feedback from "beta" users point out the gremlins. This has been the case historically. Another reason to hold off on getting a new model right away which Vincent touched upon.
@@Chris-jt4ux It's coming from John Reformato ISF Level-3 certified, well known calibrator who does the setup for U.S. TV shootouts. His contact info is on here, email yourself. www.rtings.com/tv/learn/professional-calibration-services
Good point. One thing I wonder about is how much time do professional calibrators like the GREAT 2 Minute Teoh with these new models in order to get the calibration down pat. Is there a learning curve for them?
@@alexandrosprodromos8836 Nai, apparently another Greek minded individual, quantum tv, claims 10 bit panels can display 12bit color regardless. Like a 4K supersampled image on a 1080p display, it’s the same idea for color. To me it’s logical.
I'd argue the LG C1 48' OLED is a good one worth waiting for. Last years CX 48' OLED was not widely available worldwide. Additionally, the 42' where available. Prices look swell too on these new ones.
No 42inch OLED tv's have been released in the past or this year. Maybe next year if LG display think the demand is there. I personally think a 35, 37 inch OLED would be a more popular size for PC gamers. And console gamers who use a desktop set up.
I'd say it's always best to buy a TV that's about 6-12 months old. I got my Sony 65 Z9F for €1500 around 6 months after launch (and it cost like €3600 when it did). LG's CX OLED TV's (55 inch) are going for around €1000-€1100 right now. Unless you throw as much abuse at a TV as me (8 hours on work days, 18-20 hours on free days I spend at home), that's probably the best price/performance you can get right now. Great size for a TV that displays pretty much the best image you can currently get (anything better is only very slightly better).
GREAT Video. Love the opening sequence with you gawking at the girl while the other girl angrily glares at you!!! Super helpful information about when to buy a new TV and also great advice on which ones are worth waiting for versus buying the 2020 model. Super helpful information and great video!!!
Same in NZ. I believe it’s due to COVID shipping delays. There were shortages at Xmas due to backlog of container ships. So, resulting supply / demand pricing.
best time is always after end of year holidays when people return them i saw lg 48 oled open boxed at costco for exactly $1000 and they had like 3 of em.
2 minutes?!?! The stamina of this guy is AMAZING :D :D :D + Hilarious main picture :D + I got my new TV in November(the SONY one, 65") and a PS5 and I am happy for the next few years ;)

This is an excellent video, from the hilarious thumbnail to your production and thorough research, as well as your funny jokes. All the effort is not lost on me!
I always did well buying the old model as the new models was arriving in stores. I kept track of product availability just in case to make sure stock was still available at that time.
I'm good with my LG CX. I played several hours of CoD CW Zombies for hours which have a bunch of static icons but I haven't seen any burn in. I had it since last September. Wont upgrade until a couple of years.
personally for me, my 65" CX OLED meets all the features and requirements i currently need of it. I have a 5yr extended warranty on it from Bestbuy so once it starts to fail in a couple years, i'll probably look to replace it around 2023 maybe later if i can really baby this panel. I've ruined 3 different OLED panels since december 2016, so time will tell.
@@ightimmaheadout290 yes burn is still an issue but if you buy from Best Buy and get the extended warranty it covers burn in! Only retailer in US that does
@@ightimmaheadout290 Yes, but with that said, i'm not an average user. I purposely did Stress test (leaving TV on 24/7 for months at a time) on static channels like CNN, or the local weather channel, just to see how the panels hold up over extensive use over time.
@@ightimmaheadout290 What i did with my C6 and C8 was use them normally for about 8months to a year, then i would leave them on permanently. Roughly yes, 3-6 months you'll start to notice static images burnt into the screen, if you leave it on 24/7. Also the blue light fades quicker so the center of the screen where it gets the most heat, tends to be the largest area affected by the loss of blue light, so colors begin to become quite inaccurate. Just don't abuse the panel and you should be Good. I've had my CX since August of last year, and no signs of anything yet, and i'm going to continue to baby this one for quite some time, because it has most the features i need at this point in time. Good HDR performance, HDMI 2.1, 4k@120hz (i have a 3080 running hdmi cord to tv) VRR support. Only thing i'm really interested in now is ultimately OLED's becoming brighter, or just moving to MicroLED in a handful of years.
Another awesome video by Vincent! Still I have some comments 1) If you have a LCD with mild DSE or an OLED with minimal near black banding you might want to at least wait for some informative reviews to see how the new models perform in this regard. I'll be paying particular attention to Samsung's mini LED LCD televisions to see if there is any improvements to uniformity. 2) I thought some of the reviews (including Vincent's) were a bit pretentious in saying don't get the G1 if you won't be wall mounting. Yes, I understand the TV was specially designed for wall mounting but it's also true the stand design of the CX IMO is awful in terms of aesthetics and functionality (placement of sound bar). The GX with its optional stand feet looks so much better than the CX. Now (G1) you'll have more justification with better PQ performance. 3) As much as I covet the Sony A90J (no Panasonic for me as I'm from the states) I wonder how many will be turned off by the $4500 MSRP? Will ~800 nits be good enough from the G1 if it costs significantly less? 4) I guess Vincent doesn't think the mini LED LCD televisions from LG will be much of a factor? IDK, perhaps there are enough zones/mini LEDs to overcome the inherent weaknesses of IPS panels. I'm going to give these models a chance.
1) I totally agree about the LG optional feet stand. I think LG, and most of our trusted TH-cam pros like Vincent, have not made it clear enough that this feet stand is an option. Most people have no clue about them and that is too bad. Me personally I never wall mount and I want my TV and stand to look sexy like a nice piece of furniture. It sucks that LG forces us to buy the wall mount. But they act like the only other choice is the ugly tripod stand when in fact the feet are even available now on the GX. 2) Prices for G1 are virtually the same here is a site from Europe: OLED55G19LA.AEU - April 2021 - 2,399 euros OLED65G19LA.AEU - April 2021 - 3,499 euros OLED77G19LA.AEU - April 2021 - 6,499 euros Sadly the same as the Sony A90J prices and personally even though I think the A90J will be the best TV by far this year their ugly flush to the table stand sucks and the "sound bar mode" where it sits up high is even uglier. So I may buy G1 just because of that. I respectfully disagree with your take on the CX. I agree it sadly has no space for sound bar but I at least thought the super slim TV made it sexy and appealing nonetheless
I took the plunge at bought a lg cx for 1250 6 year warranty in the UK, I was going to wait, but a top line model for that money was about right for me. Yes potential burn in, but so far so good and mixed use.
trully agree mate. have it also. fucking awesome tv. looks so nice with my ps5. miles morales in game mode and hgig. 20 percent brighter the lg evo, i dont believe it. with an update they can make the hdr at the lg cx also more brighter. but they only want make money

The LG GX 55” isn’t as bright as the new LG G1. But the 2020 model has dropped down from £2300 to £1499 in Feb 2021. While the LG G1 specs are better. I’m delighted with the £800 saving and the GX looks great. Why buy an LG CX or C1, when a couple of hundred pounds extra gives you a GX?
@@Zwolly I wanted wall mount. But CX is the way to go in the next 6 months, if you want a great new tv, with little improvement offered by C1 in 2021. It also took LG months to include standard tv channel apps in the UK for a new model previously.
@@Zwolly Panasonic for best movies, LG for best tv series, movies and console/pc gaming - particularly with dark sceness, Sony for best sport viewing and Samsung if you like an oversaturated colours look (Nintendo like I find).
Got a 55 inch CX from Costco with warranty for £890!
Waiting until black Friday and buying the previous year's model can work out very well :)
My fantasy dream is me buying a QN85A Neo QLED 4K Smart TV from Samsung as they just announced Dolby vision support... I do know for a fact it is confirmed G-Sync is coming for this brand which excites me as I have a beast rig with a rtx3080 card in it and plan on mostly gaming on it but knowing it is at a slight disadvantage with image due to samsung being tight asses is kind of a deal breaker for me...Unless Samsung do a huge flash sale of stock then I may leap on it.
EDIT: Thankyou so much Vincent for your insight.. You are a time saver once again and then some and deserve respect and success!
Prices are actually cheaper than last years opening prices. Imo it's great time to buy, I dont think samsung TV will get a discount until black Friday time. Also where did you hear there is Dolby support? I didn't see that anywhere
@@dean4611 Re read my first sentence. I was saying in my dreams they would therefore giving me 100% confidence in the brands quality being higher...Hell if TLC can do it for cheaper sets Samsung can... Anyways I agree they are cheaper than the previous gen. I was quite surprised myself. I am so excited to see this huge leap in dimming zones! Also the neo led's although being smaller emit apparently twice the brightness of the previous generation! Hugeeeee leap.
@@dean4611 I saw that too! And re-read IN MY DREAM lol..... F you Samsung for no DV still
Great consumer advice video. And yes, great fun thumbnail too. Thanks Vincent, keep up the good work. I don't know if I'd have the patience to wait any longer for the Sony A90J 😁👍
Are you in US? ... 55 inch already shipping next week and 65 inch first week of March for US.... you can order now through Value Electronics in NYC
Thanks Vincent,
As always your a strait shooter with the info, and it's greatly appreciated. I always know where to look if I want the real scoop, and I get the bonus Easter egg laugh. Can't beat that.
I can really recommend PriceSpy. I might be biased though, since I'm Swedish ;)
Nothing wrong with that
Good that most reactions don't have signs of outrage but just loud laughter for the thumbnail. Keep it up society!!
Got my C1 at Black Friday price. Loving it and upgrading from a B9.
In my country there are currently offers for the 65" LG CX6 OLED for £1195 (1380EUR). That is a really, REALLY good price and I bought one immediately. :)
Which country?
*BEST THUMBNAIL EVER!* 😂😂😂
There‘s a general rule of thumb: never buy a first gen product - as seen by some of the HDMI 2.1 consoles/TVs...
Is the new panel that some of the OLEDs use just a minor upgrade or something new that one might want to wait if there are unforeseen issues due to the green emitting layer and/or use of deuterium?
Second rule of thumb: avoid last generation product.
Example: QD-OLED coming out in 2022.
It's first generation, so don't buy.
At the same time, if you wait until next year it will be second generation and a considerable step up to "regular" TVs.
yeah, leaning towards a lg65CX, that new full screen menu on c1 with sponsored ads looks annoying
It has ads???
I'm waiting to see if they fix the vrr issue on 4k 120hz
@@ZaramayPR facts and 48 gbps then it's the perfect tv for gaming (until microled comes out)
Vrr flickering was already fixed on the cx. 48gb doesn't matter as both new consoles, ps5 and Xbox both max out as 40
2-minute vincent , this year in the black Friday week , a video on best TVs to buy keeping this video on mind , will be great
One thing to consider from what I was reading on the AVSForums is that QC on the first shipment of TVs is supposed to be better than later ones. Reason being these tvs end up as review units and essentially end up being word of mouth from first users who get them. Thats why you rarely hear about too much uniformity issues with all of the review units yet you start to hear about lots of uniformity issues on forums.
No proof to that, pure conjecture of enthusiasts
@@Chris-jt4ux Exactly! I would say the exact opposite is true as feedback from "beta" users point out the gremlins. This has been the case historically. Another reason to hold off on getting a new model right away which Vincent touched upon.
@@Chris-jt4ux It's coming from John Reformato ISF Level-3 certified, well known calibrator who does the setup for U.S. TV shootouts. His contact info is on here, email yourself.
www.rtings.com/tv/learn/professional-calibration-services
Good point. One thing I wonder about is how much time do professional calibrators like the GREAT 2 Minute Teoh with these new models in order to get the calibration down pat. Is there a learning curve for them?
@@83442handle Thanks for the source. He should know better.
The thumbnail brought me here
I have the LG CX oled so it's going to be a very long time until I buy another TV.
40gbs, woo!
@@philliprokkas195 and so it should be on a 10bit panel🤷♂️
@@philliprokkas195 so what?it’s a 10bit panel lol...
@@alexandrosprodromos8836 Nai, apparently another Greek minded individual, quantum tv, claims 10 bit panels can display 12bit color regardless. Like a 4K supersampled image on a 1080p display, it’s the same idea for color. To me it’s logical.
@@alexandrosprodromos8836 so Nai, oxi CX, nai.
I'd argue the LG C1 48' OLED is a good one worth waiting for.
Last years CX 48' OLED was not widely available worldwide.
Additionally, the 42' where available.
Prices look swell too on these new ones.
No 42inch OLED tv's have been released in the past or this year. Maybe next year if LG display think the demand is there.
I personally think a 35, 37 inch OLED would be a more popular size for PC gamers. And console gamers who use a desktop set up.
@@C--A There is a 42 coming.
That feeling when you follow the formula without knowing the formula. Got my C2 48 inch for £799 this black friday (john lewis 899 + £100 off voucher)
Best time to buy the LG CX ?
Yesss.
I'd say it's always best to buy a TV that's about 6-12 months old. I got my Sony 65 Z9F for €1500 around 6 months after launch (and it cost like €3600 when it did). LG's CX OLED TV's (55 inch) are going for around €1000-€1100 right now. Unless you throw as much abuse at a TV as me (8 hours on work days, 18-20 hours on free days I spend at home), that's probably the best price/performance you can get right now. Great size for a TV that displays pretty much the best image you can currently get (anything better is only very slightly better).
Great video! This was probably one of the best comparison reviews I've seen between model years.
GREAT Video. Love the opening sequence with you gawking at the girl while the other girl angrily glares at you!!! Super helpful information about when to buy a new TV and also great advice on which ones are worth waiting for versus buying the 2020 model. Super helpful information and great video!!!
looooooooool the thumbnail . Vincent you are the coolest tech reviewer for 2020 and 2021.
TV prices normally drop here in Australia but not this year. They're still insanely high for 2020 models.
Same in NZ. I believe it’s due to COVID shipping delays. There were shortages at Xmas due to backlog of container ships. So, resulting supply / demand pricing.
best time is always after end of year holidays when people return them i saw lg 48 oled open boxed at costco for exactly $1000 and they had like 3 of em.
Why would anyone return such a top notch TV? Wow.
Doesn't open boxed items have worse warranties?
@@aliazzam626 They have the same warranty as brand new items at least here in USA.
@@martinchitembo1883 probably because of vertical banding or tint. I would never touch a tv that was returned
I watched you reviews and decided to get CX oled. it will be years until I need a new tv but I like your channel thats why I keep watching .
Two minute Teo🤣🤣
Not gonna lie you give some of the most epic roasts on internet
Amazing thumbnail & intro!
HILARIOUS!!!
2 minutes?!?! The stamina of this guy is AMAZING :D :D :D + Hilarious main picture :D + I got my new TV in November(the SONY one, 65") and a PS5 and I am happy for the next few years ;)
I just ordered the q70t 65 inch for 1000 euro’s to play on my Xbox Series X, got it on a discount and didnt want to spent all too much. Really excited
Theo, thank you so much for the laugh! “Why do you think they call me Two Minute Theo?” Perfectly delivered. 👌 Edit: I totally just noticed the sound effect afterwards!!
This is an excellent video, from the hilarious thumbnail to your production and thorough research, as well as your funny jokes. All the effort is not lost on me!
That‘s exactly what i analyzed personally before as well.
At least half a year waiting and that 2021 is getting mostly a big upgrade vs 2020
2 minute Teoh, I was laughing 😆
dude you're the best. can't wait til I can purchase the new oled tvs
That opening image😂 You can practically see Vincent touching himself with the hand that’s hidden from frame 😂😂
We love you Vincent you give the best break downs and advice to tv choosings
The greatest thumbnail in human history.
SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm dying over here... 2 minute Teoh
I always did well buying the old model as the new models was arriving in stores. I kept track of product availability just in case to make sure stock was still available at that time.
I'm good with my LG CX. I played several hours of CoD CW Zombies for hours which have a bunch of static icons but I haven't seen any burn in. I had it since last September. Wont upgrade until a couple of years.
Waited patiently for a LG C1 48” snapped @ £760 😁
personally for me, my 65" CX OLED meets all the features and requirements i currently need of it. I have a 5yr extended warranty on it from Bestbuy so once it starts to fail in a couple years, i'll probably look to replace it around 2023 maybe later if i can really baby this panel. I've ruined 3 different OLED panels since december 2016, so time will tell.
by ruined, so you mean all 3 panels had burn in? I'm planning on buying the cx and I'm low key worried
@@ightimmaheadout290 yes burn is still an issue but if you buy from Best Buy and get the extended warranty it covers burn in! Only retailer in US that does
@@ightimmaheadout290 Yes, but with that said, i'm not an average user. I purposely did Stress test (leaving TV on 24/7 for months at a time) on static channels like CNN, or the local weather channel, just to see how the panels hold up over extensive use over time.
@@loak3d oh ok that makes me feel better 😅 how long did it take you to get burn in from leaving 24/7? Like 6 months?
@@ightimmaheadout290 What i did with my C6 and C8 was use them normally for about 8months to a year, then i would leave them on permanently. Roughly yes, 3-6 months you'll start to notice static images burnt into the screen, if you leave it on 24/7. Also the blue light fades quicker so the center of the screen where it gets the most heat, tends to be the largest area affected by the loss of blue light, so colors begin to become quite inaccurate. Just don't abuse the panel and you should be Good. I've had my CX since August of last year, and no signs of anything yet, and i'm going to continue to baby this one for quite some time, because it has most the features i need at this point in time. Good HDR performance, HDMI 2.1, 4k@120hz (i have a 3080 running hdmi cord to tv) VRR support. Only thing i'm really interested in now is ultimately OLED's becoming brighter, or just moving to MicroLED in a handful of years.
This video is like scritching a spot on my back I couldn't reach. I'm exactly in this situation now .
Dang I was eyeing the C1. I wonder if the difference is really that subtle compared to CX.
Another awesome video by Vincent!
Still I have some comments
1) If you have a LCD with mild DSE or an OLED with minimal near black banding you might want to at least wait for some informative reviews to see how the new models perform in this regard. I'll be paying particular attention to Samsung's mini LED LCD televisions to see if there is any improvements to uniformity.
2) I thought some of the reviews (including Vincent's) were a bit pretentious in saying don't get the G1 if you won't be wall mounting. Yes, I understand the TV was specially designed for wall mounting but it's also true the stand design of the CX IMO is awful in terms of aesthetics and functionality (placement of sound bar). The GX with its optional stand feet looks so much better than the CX. Now (G1) you'll have more justification with better PQ performance.
3) As much as I covet the Sony A90J (no Panasonic for me as I'm from the states) I wonder how many will be turned off by the $4500 MSRP? Will ~800 nits be good enough from the G1 if it costs significantly less?
4) I guess Vincent doesn't think the mini LED LCD televisions from LG will be much of a factor? IDK, perhaps there are enough zones/mini LEDs to overcome the inherent weaknesses of IPS panels. I'm going to give these models a chance.
1) I totally agree about the LG optional feet stand. I think LG, and most of our trusted TH-cam pros like Vincent, have not made it clear enough that this feet stand is an option. Most people have no clue about them and that is too bad. Me personally I never wall mount and I want my TV and stand to look sexy like a nice piece of furniture. It sucks that LG forces us to buy the wall mount. But they act like the only other choice is the ugly tripod stand when in fact the feet are even available now on the GX.
2) Prices for G1 are virtually the same here is a site from Europe:
OLED55G19LA.AEU - April 2021 - 2,399 euros
OLED65G19LA.AEU - April 2021 - 3,499 euros
OLED77G19LA.AEU - April 2021 - 6,499 euros
Sadly the same as the Sony A90J prices
and personally even though I think the A90J will be the best TV by far this year their ugly flush to the table stand sucks and the "sound bar mode" where it sits up high is even uglier. So I may buy G1 just because of that.
I respectfully disagree with your take on the CX. I agree it sadly has no space for sound bar but I at least thought the super slim TV made it sexy and appealing nonetheless
I got a 65" LG C9 for $1,500.00 USD in 2019, I'm set for a good while.
Thanks Vincent you gave me the push I needed to go ahead and buy the LG cx this morning for my new PS5, cheers!
I took the plunge at bought a lg cx for 1250 6 year warranty in the UK, I was going to wait, but a top line model for that money was about right for me. Yes potential burn in, but so far so good and mixed use.
Just came by to 👍 for the thumbnail alone 🤣
Just bought the CX-77", Im just glad I didn't see in your worth to wait for upgrade list. Didn't consider the G-Series since its wall mounted.
I got the 55CX on sale. I'm happy with my purchase, should be set for a few years.
trully agree mate. have it also. fucking awesome tv. looks so nice with my ps5. miles morales in game mode and hgig. 20 percent brighter the lg evo, i dont believe it. with an update they can make the hdr at the lg cx also more brighter. but they only want make money
I got my C9 in May of 2020. Hands down, the best tv I have ever bought. Especially because it was bought on clearance, open box, during the pandemic-- they just couldn't get anyone IN the store to buy it lol.
Rxcelllent!!! This is the video I have been waiting for.
Bought my Sony A9G last November, and I couldn't care less what TV is coming out for the next 5-6 years. :)
This deserves a like just for the thumbnail😂 and great content what more can you ask for👍
Actually lol'd after the "massive 50 quid" comment 🤣
liked just because of the thumbnail
