Just bought a LG C1 OLED 77" at Video Only for $2,999+ tax. Free shipping with a 4 years extended warranty (total 5 years with 1 year LG manufacturing warranty). The sale person also gave me a HDMI cable for free. I got mine today at the San Mateo store. Check with your local store for the exact deal.

I would say it's probably not worth the upgrade. The game mode is nice if you play games, but you can do the same thing manually on the CX. The remote upgrade is minor but lets you do NFC from the couch for screen sharing rather than walking up to the TV. You can also mirror the screen back to your phone that way. No real difference in picture as the panels should be close to identical (within manufacturing tolerances).

Smoking deal if you're in WA,CA, or don't mind driving to one of those stores.

FOMO saves me tons of time, he digs up great information.

Some of the C1s are shipping with evo panels. I don't know what the pattern is, though.

Just as a FYI, we have a C1 I picked up last week and we were having trouble with blacks. Apparently this model year there's a dithering issue LG tried to cover up by making near blacks darker. If you have the panel professionally calibrated they can calibrate it away, but if they do, you may get "ringing" in games with near blacks in shadows, etc. The ringing may be limited to g-sync, not sure yet.

The real world effect is that shadows in non-game media, especially in indoor scenes otherwise well rendered, are too dark and some detail is lost.

Other than that, really like the upgrade from a 2016 65" LG OLED.

How did you find out about your issues? What kind of tests I can run on?

Did you have to haggle a bit with them for the $2999 + 4 year extended warranty? Or was/is that the price straight up?

Thanks!

FOMO doesn't even have a G1, so he's a pointless person to reference.

You can't call something debatable when the N is so tiny that you can barely even consider it a sample set.

its recommended with this set, to get it calibrated. minimum price to get this done would be to get the i1 display pro plus ($299) + calman home for LG ($150). that would set you back to $450 + tax. in the end you don't have to but i watch a lot of films and there are plenty of dark scenes in movies that would benefit from a calibrated TV without the loss in shadow detail.

considering that the Sony A80J recently dropped in price, I would recommend the Sony over LG as it is more color / grayscale accurate out of the box than the LG.

Get the Sony if you're more into watching TV/Movies/Netflix
Get the LG if you're heavy into gaming and need the VRR functionality
