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

That's good news. I know that they already confirmed it but it's always nice to be reassured.
Indeed, I did hear that. But apparently the processor does in fact play a part in displaying full uncompressed chroma (as evidenced by him saying 2.0 on the CX will support 4k120hz -- at a lower chroma). So I wasn't sure if that was confirmed. Forgive me, I am relatively un-knowledgeable in regards to this, I'm just debating buying the C9 vs CX and trying to solidify my decision.
If those BFI modes don't get pulled (like what happened last year), that's a pretty big difference for the CX vs C9. I realize some people won't want the dimming and the fact you wouldn't be able to use VRR with it, but if the brightness is good (and there are some encouraging reports it's decent), I'd probably choose BFI over VRR for most things.
Sounds like it's essentially down to around 0ms input lag from a processing POV. Even a CRT isn't actually 0 in the truest sence (there's no processing lag, true, but it certainly takes time to paint the screen and the bottom isn't the same as the top of the image).

The C9 has no issue with the full uncompressed chroma which is why it can't do 4k120 with 2.0, because that isn't a standard chroma resolution.
Nice to have confirmation that all the OLED panels for models are the same, the difference seems to be only on material surrounding the panel and the processor.
Does he have an OLED LG Button on his Jacket???? O_o
What a show off lol. I wants it!!!
Why is it incompatible with VRR out of curiosity? Does it simply look bad if at low framerates so they won't enable it? Surely from a purely technical viewpoint it's theoretically possible to match every variable frame with a black frame, since the VRR only goes up to 120 and it can now BFI at 120?
Hardly. They have announced they will no longer be producing LCD panels in South Korea, though.
The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards just getting the 48" CX as my desktop monitor. I was going to sell my 27" PG27UQ FALD HDR monitor and get the new 32" MiniLED model, but the 48" CX will be 1/2 the cost almost prob and a better picture. I already sit ~4 feet from the Wall behind my current monitor, so get a slim mount and I would be golden. Would be a great monitor for multitasking plus PC gaming.
I was already planning to put a 65" cx on the other wall for big screen gaming/sports/consoles so I think this will compliment it well.
One thing with the 77" Model, I do really hope they improved the uniformity and QC on them. I had to go through 5-6 77" C9s until I got one that was "acceptable". Plan on upgrading to the CX so really don't want to have to go through that again.

I'm not sure of the technical reason. I know there was a big push about this last CES (got pulled from LG production models) and the info indicated you couldn't run both at the same time. You had to pick one or the other. Maybe it would be too dim if the framerate was low? Or too much fluctuation in brightness levels as the frame rate fluctuated? I'm not sure why. Just that from all the info released, I was going to have to pick one if I bought one.
I've been watching the price of the C9 like a hawk. Looks like it has seen an official price drop as of this morning... Not as low as it's black friday through christmas price slash, but it's a decent chunk off. Wondering if I should pull the trigger already or wait a tad longer.
I'm holding until spring, closer we get to the CX the lower it should drop.
Reference last year's price drops for the 55-inch C8 to get an idea of how the 65-inch C9 might go this year.
If it's like the C8 last year, March-May might be the price/availability sweet spot.

I sure hope not I JUST bought a c9 today because my tcl 5 series took a shit this am lol
Thanks! This will be my next TV. As soon as it hits ~1700-1800€. The wait begins.
Based on how C9 price dropped, probably around November, just when the next gen consoles arrive. (:
The current TV/monitor I use for my PC is starting to suffer from flickering issues if on for long periods of time, I might be looking into replacing it with an LG TV or widescreen monitor.
Oof... I need (want) to go bigger with my next TV, but even if this baby was half off it would still be way too much :(
While they dropped the price of the Wallpaper series by 2000€, I'm really annoyed that the W series doesn't seem to support VRR and thus G-Sync, despite officially supporting HDMI 2.1.
If I had known that this year's model won't support VRR either, I would've bought the W8 during Black Friday for ~3000€.
Apologies, as I'm sure google knows, but what's the difference between the 3 main 65 inchers? (not the rollable one)
There's roughly 1000 Euro between each one, and I'm interested what extra functionality you get for the steps in price

Shouldn't it be a non issue with OLED? Each pixel is self lighting. Other TVs have a LED array behind the pixels with dimming zones.
Yeah there are smartphones with HDR displays (at least OLED but I think LCD too)
Looking forward to that Black Friday-ish 48" Cox pricing. I want a nice TV to coincide with next-gen launches so Im not really worried about its launch pricing vs where the 55C9 is for example (and 48" is also the biggest size I can probably fit for where I want to put the unit)
Nope, this is the first year consumers are getting anything smaller than 55.

Love my C9 to bits, literally! 120hz and Gsync/VRR especially is an absolute massive game changer, it really is.
But when the CX was announced I was a little jealous that it was getting 120hz BFI. At least, I was until I found out it doesn't work with VRR, which therefore renders it useless for me. Hopefully they get 120hz BFI working with VRR on a later model. Until then I'll happily enjoy my C9, which has near pristine motion at 120hz regardless.

Even monitors that support backlight strobing and variable refresh rate simultaneously (the tech is called ELMB) tend to have all kinds of artifacts with it. It's best to leave backlight strobing or BFI for situations where you can maintain stable, high framerates so variable refresh rate is not as needed.
I don't think BFI is going to make much of a difference for me either way @120 for gaming. I noticed the stutterer 30 obviously which is horrendous and the 60 it's a little noticeable but when I crank it up to 120 I don't notice it. Which is what I keep it at for all games at 1440p until 2.1 comes out. I don't see any need for it because BFI would have ended up lowering your brightness anyhow.
Anyone know if It's true G-sync will work with Nvidia Pascal series GPUs on CX series unlike 9 series?
As far as I know, the dependency is on nVidia and not LG, and nVidia confirmed G-Sync for TV (well, VRR through HDMI) only for Turing and above. So I don't think any 9xx card will make it.
Also : just cracked on an LG C9 65", with prices going down before CX release. Can't wait.
