Haha, yeah. I'm still often in awe of the picture quality, but that 4k@120hz with gsync..

LG announces new line-up of OLED TVs at CES 2020 (G-Sync compatible)
- Thread starter Earvin Infinity
- Start date
Samsung wants to merge their Quantom Dot tech with OLED which will result in much brighter OLEDS at lower cost. Micro and Mini LED are years away from being mass market products. Samsung needs a product in the near future to win back costumers or LG will eat more into their marketshare. That's why the invest in OLED again.
My guess, is that they are not going to include DP as they need SOMETHING to distinguish between these TVs, and the Gaming OLED monitors that are being introduced at CES As well. Since they are making Panels for both products, DP and no HDMI 2.1 are really the only difference between these TVs and those Monitors.
Samsung has opened a new factory to produce QDOLED for TVs (they are the biggest producer of OLED for mobiles and small displays by a large margin.)
The factory is going to be producing Quantum Dot based OLED displays. They are prepping to move towards that as the Chinese companies will quickly outpace their LCD capability
Well that's the thing, becaus Nvidia published a tweet today calling these displays BFGD's like the others...so, maybe?
Ok, so they don't have Gsync modules, they use VRR standard protocols like Freesync, Nvidia just expanded what Gsync means to include the standard and people are running with it
The prices fall fast. I got a 55 inch C8 in 2018 for $1499 in August. Last year there were deals for the 65 inch model that low.
We don't have full specs for anything yet, but I think a lot of people will say the C9 and CX
oh yeah, that's the RRP, give it 3 months and it will be $1500 every other day in a sale
Whelp I won't be getting a new TV untill my brand new one breaks, so 50, 000 hours or more? By then we'll have 8k as the standard, and these TVs will be bargain bin level.
Damn, when buying the C8 I did not think about things like ALLM or g-sync support :( Given my use case, the new series would be perfect.
Same here but there's regional difference when it comes to patches.
What's the difference between those two?
I've got a C8 currently. Almost got the C9 but decided to wait it out for 2020's sets. C9 will probably be dirt cheap by then but I wouldn't mind shelling it out for a significant upgrade.
Same. Perfect for my gaming room. Nice new OLED and two new consoles this year :)
Right now what we know is it has a newer processor and some image enhancement features that come with that.
🤔 ... 🤷♂️
Ya the BFGD thing has always been confusing on a marketing level. I don't think the LG TVs wil have DP, but would be totally awesome if they did.
The presentation around the G-Sync stuff is really poorly communicated, this is not a G-Sync monitor in the sense that it has a G-Sync module in it, instead it's just a certification that these displays generally perform well with their implementation of FreeSync.
How well the VRR features work in real life and the range it works in is still up in the air, the media should really call it "G-Sync certified" since it can mean something very different if you are used to monitors with a proper G-Sync module.
With that said, I need one of those TV's to replace my 55' C8 👀.

Wait so the C9 doesn't? As someone who games on an Xbox One X and plans on getting a Series X soonish after launch, should I be eyeing the CX instead of the C9?
The C9 does support VRR from Xbox One X via HDMI-VRR (a feature from the HDMI 2.1 standard), just not Freesync from AMD GPUs.
Apparently XBox One X supports both HDMI-VRR and Freesync.

Where are you getting that? The article I read said they all used the same processor except for the BX, which used an older processor.
You guys think B6 --> CX is a worthwhile upgrade? Want to upgrade for next gen but not unless it's a relatively major upgrade picture-wise.
The BX is going to use a 3rd gen a7 processor the C9 had a 2nd gen a9 processor. The CX will have a 3rd gen a9.
So these aren't top emmision OLEDs? I thought 2020 OLED sets were supposed to be much brighter?
BX uses α7 Gen 3, the rest use α9 Gen 3.
C9 used a9 Gen 2.
I have no idea what any of that means. Just that BX is using a different processor than the rest.
Been tempted to get a 82inch q60 lately just to see it. Have a 55inch b8 at the moment think I may have a look at a c9 and hopefuly these should drive down prices..I hope.

My bad, I misread. Probably saw gen3 on both and figured it was the same, didn't notice the a7 vs a9.
What do you think about the claims made here?
I've never noticed the blacks on my C9 being anything other than black and he's claiming brighter HDR and more saturated colours etc, all seems hard to believe.

Hahahah, yep. We made the mistake of NOT confining our heavy-set chonker of a cat to another room while setting the tv up, and man, we had a few heartstoppers as he leapt toward the TV a few times, lol.
I've got a boner, here. Those impressions sound amazing.
Oh, and 5ms input lag when gaming at 120hz? NICE!
Porn. GTFO with those overpriced gaming monitors.
Yeah, we've oven mistaken our set for being off, when in fact it was a dark screen transition or something. It's astonishingly, perfectly black. And the HDR is intensely bright. Two amazing things to show it off that we recently watched/played: The Expanse (Amazon Prime TV series -- its intro is full of outstanding blacks and incredibly bright/intense lights/whites) and Tetris Effect on PS4 Pro (gorgeous and wide contrast between the brights and the darks -- just look at the title screen. goddamn)
Got a B7 in early 2018 but HDMI 2.1 is making for a very tempting upgrade. If 65 CX comes down to ~1800 at some point before new models in 2021, I'll be really considering it.
See if the browser can play back the video here
That was my first exposure to 120 fps when I first got a 120hz monitor and it blew me away. Only 1080p though
Have any brightness improvements been noted? Obviously it won't compare an higher end LCD display, but that was one of the improvements I was hoping for in this years model.
The way that pricing has gone this year, I'm expecting that by Novemberish time, I would be able to grab something like the 2020 C9 from Costco for around $1700 w/ a $100 giftcard w/ extra 3 year warranty at the very least. Then the B9 would be probably $100-$150 cheaper.

They make it sound like the new tvs blows the C9 out of the water. I was planning on picking up a C9 hopefully for a solid price but now I don't know...
Wait, I never really thought about it, but youtube doesnt support native 120fps videos?
