48" C series! I was hoping for ~42 for the bedroom but I think this bodes well for the future. No details on whether they're top-emission or QD-OLEDs but I doubt the latter. Top emission has been rumored for awhile to happen in 2020.

Keeping an eye on that 55CX. If it has significant feature upgrades over the C7 I may not be able to resist.
Apparently it improves brightness by a little. No complaints here.
I believe its a type of OLED panel that emits and directs light to the top of the pixel instead of the bottom, in layman's terms. OLEDs on the market today are designed with a bottom emission panel.
Sorry I meant QLED, whatever the difference is lol. I'm not a big tech savvy guy. Just looking for a TV with nice HDR since my current 4K doesn't do a great job at it.
Think this year will be the year I go 4k. Depending on the changes, I'll get the C9, or CX. Price depends too.
So is the R9 ever coming out? No rebrand or update on that it seems.
Hoping the CX isn't too tempting so that I can happily get a C9

I have a 40" in my office. It's about perfect, so I had been hoping for a 43" OLED. 55 is just too big. But at the right price, 48 will just have to do.
Just as an aside, despite just one letter difference, OLED and QLED are actually massively different. If you do plan on getting a new TV any time soon, I highly suggest reading up on it.
That's awesome! I hate that manufacturers don't prioritize smaller sizes these days.
The best display under 50" is over a dozen years old at this point- Pioneer PDP-4280 (Panasonic never made their flagship plasmas under 55" and none of the LCDs under 50" were worth a thing).

Does anyone know if adjacent tech like new consoles tends to drive pricing down further? A lot of features that I find appealing and would use all the time have been introduced since I bought the B7 and I kind of want them for next gen, notably the better image quality in Game mode specifically, Game/Cinema auto swapping based on content output, VRR, and the boosted bandwidth of HDMI 2.1. But that was a big investment for me, so hoping maybe knowing more devices are entering the market with hot demand might make prices come down to make it a more appealing purchase?
So at this point if we're most interested in high refresh rates and vrr, we might as well get the c9 since it's future proofed for those purposes?

'I think - current panels have the light emission at the back so they have to push through various layers before coming out where you can see them. That reduces efficiency and also fill factor (less of the screen area is pixel bs electronics). top emission is designed to bring the light emission part to the front to increase efficiency a lot.
'this *could* be used to increase brightness, but there is also a suggestion that it is used at least partly to increase panel life so the pixels don't age as much (reduced chance of 'burn in')
It may be like the Kindle backlights. Those come from the sides instead of the back so they don't shine towards the reader.
I currently have a 65" X900E. Great TV but I'm hoping that I'll upgrade to a 77" OLED shortly before the gen starts. These new models and sizes seem to bode well that the 2019 models will be on sale for a decent price. 2019's 77" LG OLED is $5,000 which is pretty expensive. Hoping I can get it for around $3,500.
I'll most likely get the 77" GX one. Hopefully, its a crystal sound OLED screen so it can be just a bit more thinner.
The CX is the mid end model like the C9 model that's available right now, the WX is a "wallpaper" tv that has the OLED screen itself hang on the wall and has the rest of the components and I/O in a separate soundbar, the ZX model will be the highest end one with an 8K screen and will most likely have its own stand like the Z9.
Maybe these will get bright enough for HDR.
I honestly can't tell the difference between the HDR on my C9 and the "HDR" on my tertiary 49-inch Toshiba that ran me $149 last year.

I hope 4K stays around for a good while, I don't see the need for 8K really for home. Plus scaling everything up won't be as good.. I'll keep my old 1080 and 720 panels around I guess though..
I think end of this year I'll look to get whatever LG has out, go for the top end 4K set.
