LG announces new line-up of OLED TVs at CES 2020 (G-Sync compatible)

Ha ha, I know. I love it to death.
Just jonesing for the new features. 😀
It's the connection, the TV doesn't have DisplayPort and the graphics cards only have HDMI 2.0 yet, can't do 4K120 with that. The GPUs can easily drive that resolution.
Why?? Your TV is perfect, unless you absolutely need vrr, I don't see any big advancement
Yes, but OLED has burn-in issues, and you need a 2000+ series to use Gsync.
I wouldn't be looking at the 48" to be a cheap option.
Two questions:
1. Any chance LG would mislead us by saying the C9 can achieve 4k 120hz?
2. What benefits will the enhanced processor in the CX really offer over the C9?
Thanks.

1.: High chance. The 9 series OLED TVs still need a firmware update.
2.: We dont know that ATM. Just wait for in-depth reviews.
What version are you running? I haven't had an update since late November, I think.
Is it, though? I thought it was already confirmed the 48 inch is being produced at a new factory in China.
And I know one of the sites already confirmed, that LG confirmed, that the 48 inch will be priced cheaper than the 55. Technically 100 dollars is cheaper. So maybe not MUCH cheaper. Still, there have been some really good BF deals on C8/C9 in the past. No reason to think it won't break sub-1000 at least once in the coming year.
The auto-detecting content and changing the display settings sounds good, so long as it allows you to calibrate each setting.
It's out in Europe. But you don't even need it to use gsync. I used gsync with no problems for over a month with an older firmware. My nvidia gpu recognized the TV as vrr compatible anyway and gsync worked great. The only difference I've noticed with the "gsync firmware" is that the nvidia control panel now states that the TV is "gsync approved" or something similar. Can't remember the exact wording.
The C9 did have the update in all regions on december 2019. On the other hand, the LG B9 on regions outside the US still don't have the update though :(

If it's not showing on the check updates button on the set, download the zip file and extract it to a USB stick inside a folder called LG_DTV and then insert the stick into the TV and it should detect the update and offer to install it.
I dont think they would put 2.1 inputs in their TV and not feature the resolutions 2.1 is capable of supporting, at very least the 4K resolutions. Talking about 8k is nonsense right now.
I'm wondering which series will conform with the B7/B8/C9 series sets in terms of pricing. I'm guessing the CX series given that it's where they're choosing to include that new 48" model.
The consensus is that OLED will be passed by MicroLED in the next few years (2023-2025) and that it doesn't make sense to put a lot of R&D into OLED. MicroLED will have all the same black levels and contrast, but no burn in issues and much better peak brightness. Don't expect major advances in OLED.
OH MAN
them introducing a 48 inch is a big game changer to me. That's a perfect hang on the wall with two small monitors on the desk workstation setup for me.
Hopefully the price isn't absurd

I'm not convinced that MicroLED will ever make it to consumer's homes.
There have been leaps in OLED tech in the past. I'm certainly not the only one wishing for brighter displays. LG mentioned top emission OLED back in 2017 as a way to boost brightness (they mentioned starting production in 2019), but there's been nothing mentioned since then.
We don't know anything specific about the panels and the actual feature set yet. That stuff mostly comes later after tech press had hands on with the TVs.
I feel the opposite with my 55B7V.
Once setup correctly, any type of signal and content is looking so perfect that I'm really struggling to find a single valid reason to upgrade so far... ;)
Can someone explain to me why Samsung is planning to re-enter the OLED market in the next two years? I keep reading about their re-entrance into the OLED TV market. And how MicroLED isn't that far away. Something isn't adding up here. Why would they re-enter the OLED market if MicroLED is so close to market?
Let's hope they come soon. Sony have some top emission small OLED displays that can hit 3000nits
Yeah, but I've heard from different sources that current panels are basically the peak. The only improvement I thought LG is working on is inkjet printing of the same quality to lower production costs.
They seem to be stalling their OLED efforts, probably because micro led seems to come a bit quicker than projected, possibly even 2023.
1) Have the fixed burn-in and/or ghosting for gaming on OLED?
2) Is there some sort of upgrade program for trading in old sets? (Samsung has started doing this when you buy from them directly).

LG still needs to push out Top Emission panels, which probably won't be till 2021/2022. That should be a good big leap again for OLED, especially on the peak brightness and ABL side.
You could argue that might be the last major leap if Micro then Mini LED do ever get to a point to be mainstream.
As for these new panels, probably same as C9 to C8 jump. Improvements but nothing major.
I was really hoping they would release an 88" 4k set, as my 77" c9 is just not big enough. Sad to see they are keeping 88" at 8k for the price of car. I get why they are doing it though, as they need some reason to entice those .1% consumers buying TVs at that price.

I think they are investing in both QDOLED and MicroLED which both have issues that need to be solved, so either one could end up being their premium technology.
Either Way, LG Display isn't likely to have major year to year improvements on OLED. From the sounds of it, the 8,9,and X series are essentially the same display with different processors.
SED flashbacks? I remember this was the wonder tech of forever. And it never amounted to anything. This is why, when I see a recent article stating Samsung is shutting down an LCD factory to start making OLEDs there, it makes me question things. We've been teased a lot of "perfect" tvs in the days since LCD slaughtered CRT. MicroLED just seems too perfect. There has to be a catch.
Okay. Now this makes sense. I googled a bit after I posted that comment and I've seen that Samsung really lost a ton of market share to LG after they abandoned OLED the first time (especially the premium market). It makes sense to have a fallback option and that MicroLED isn't the sure thing people are making it out to be.
