When did we get confirmation of the Panasonic prices?
Sorry they are retailer prices that have them up for pre-order. I guess the RRP could be higher.

Out of interest, who has them up for pre-order?
Very reflective IMO and this one point where I think that Samsung did better last year.
Wish LG used the same moth eye filter as Samsung with their KS series.
I initially intended to put my LG OLED in front of a window but couldn't stand the reflections.
They've removed the anti-reflective filter from the 2017 sets too.
relly they dont Flicker ?
heard of problems relating to ABL ?.....

5000$ for the 55", 6500$ for the 65"
The Sony Tax is real ...

That's MSRP
Has Cleveland come down from the $1675 55" B6?
$2200 for the 55 inch
$4200 for the 65 inch
It's beyond fucking stupid how LG can sell 65" for under $5,000 but 12 more inches will cost you $10,000 more.
FUCK OFF LG

To be fair, those 12" represent an increase of 40% in screen real estate. That, coupled with the fact that much fewer 77" are made (resulting in QA issues and costs) and it makes a little sense. Maybe not double the cost, but...

It is a question of cost vs benefit. That extra 10" costs a lot more in manufacturing as the sales and number produced are smaller. Same reason an 80" plus is ridiculously high. So that a 77" will be sold ten times less as it is a niche size, it is more costly to manufacture as it is a niche size, and will need to be heavily marked up to make profits. 5 years from now 75" will probably be as prevalent as the rest and the 85" and 95" will be the bank breakers.
Not to mention that cutting them from the mother glass in the current factory leaves an incredible amount of waste. Next year if the new factory is indeed ready by then the 77" should start at 8 or 9k MSRP.
No, he was really pushing hard to buy the 2016 sets, but the improvements of the 2017 are worth the increase IMHO for gamers.
You sure they removed the AG filter on the 2017 Oled's? That to me is huge as I hate that purple filter! Any links?
I know the new Sony oled's do not have the filter, it is very obvious when looking at pics of them with reflections.
That would be amazing
Yes, the purple hue is mostly gone.

How annoying/intrusive are the ads on the LG and Samsung TVs?
Speaking of, is there any way to get rid of unused apps in the home bar? I only need netflix, amazon, plex, usb drive, and list of inputs.
I called Cleveland Plasma today and spoke to Chris. He stated the following for the LG C7 Oled prices:
$2200 for the 55 inch
$4200 for the 65 inch

There's only one ad on the top left side of the navigation menu in webOS. I don't even notice it.
Is that disabled if you opt-out of all the EULAs to disable the Smart TV features, and disable the built-in wifi?
Can't stand this fucking bullshit in TVs.

I currently have a 65 B6 I got from him for $2600, BUT the new oled''s have lower input lag which is major to me ( 21ms ), no ABL under 150 nits ( huge as-well) and apparently the AG filter has been removed.
At this point I am willing to go down to the 55 inch to get all of those benefits as for an avid gamer like myself I seriously can appreciate all of those upgrades over the B6 and the 2016 Oled's.
Not happy to go down in size but it is not worth spending an additional $2k for the 10 inches imho right now, especially when the 65 C7 will probably be $2500 at the end of the year.
Wait, so latest rumors of C7 price from ClevelandAV is $2200?
Shit man, that makes it a lot harder to justify $4000 for the A1E. Might need to wait on reviews :/
A1E is going for 4000? I thought it was 5000 for the smallest size
I used to hate smart tv stuff. But that was on shitty TVs that would stutter terribly just going through the menu.
They're super convenient on fast TVs.
Put it this way.
The current 8G factory is perfect for 32-55 inches with 55 being the largest display that makes the most economical sense for them. You can cut 6x55" without much waste from a 8G mother glass. Move up to 65" and suddenly you get less with more waste. Then above imagine the 77". I think with the current glass size they can only make one 77" from the mother glass. That's incredibly wasteful and of course leads to the high price. Then factor in yield rate. Last time we heard about OLED yield rates was end of 2015 with 80%+ so I imagine it's much higher today but still they have to throw some f them in the trash.
The 10G factory will allow sizes from 55-90". Exciting times.
Well, now I'm starting to think I can wait til the holidays to see what the 55in might drop down to.
I need some advice guys. I have been saving money for a new TV for awhile now. I'm set on getting an OLED and nothing else but I just can't decide if I should jump on the cheap 2016 B6, wait for 2017 models or the 2018 models. Keep in mind, my income doesn't allow me to upgrade my television often so this TV would likely have to last several years if not more.
I'm a hardcore PC/Console gamer and watch a lot of movies so the improved input lag and near black details of the 2017 models would be nice for my uses. But with the 2018 models most likely having HDMI 2.1 and variable refresh rates, that would be such a huge upgrade for me as well (not to mention other upgrades it may have). I just can't decide.
So if you were in my shoes, what would you do?

The new panel supports 100/120Hz which means it can already accept a 1080p signal at 100/120Hz, which could be useful for gaming. The new OLED TVs might also accept 4K at 100/120Hz, although this would require a firmware update and would only be possible if the bandwidth didn't exceed the 18Gbps capabilities of the HDMI inputs. As with all of LG's TVs this year, the W7 does not support 3D.
Finally LG have made improvements to the input lag on their 2017 OLED TVs. Using a Leo Bodnar lag tester combined with an HDFury Integral and HDFury Linker were were able to test the SDR and HDR input lag in Game mode. Both the E7 and W7 delivered an input lag of just over 21ms, regardless of whether it was an SDR or HDR signal, which is great news for gamers.
