Here's the link https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LG-65-OLED65C8PTA-OLED-Smart-TV/222982646720?epid=27018140496&hash=item33eacd2bc0:g:8y4AAOSwIntbvTSM Just add it to your cart, go to check out and put in code PEARTREE I think it is. It will show the correct discount code on the link though just below the price I think. Drop to 3k? Have no clue, cheapest I've seen was in good guys today for $3995, was buying a new microwave at the time and the and thought I'd see if they would price match, best they'd offer is $3669. It might go to 3k but that would be a fair ways off maybe 2 years of so. For the sake 400$ I couldn't care less. I'm still on full hd sony 55" from 5 years ago and when I saw this LG in store (no burn in by the way I asked them to to do the burn in test ) it blew my socks off, looked like I could reach in and grab what was on screen, very surreal. Oh and edit: the good guys price goes back up to $4599 Monday or Thursday next week, I can't remember the exact day but it's next week, he showed me the promo end date in his computer to prove he wasn't pulling a swift one, keep in mind LG lists retail at $6199, so being the average price is 4500 or so not on special and 3995 when on special I don't see these going to 3k for ages.

And yes I saw those photos videos posted by another member here who seems intent on burning oled to the ground of the LG oled in shopping centres etc and the burn in tests done under extreme use cases and the reality is we don't watch TV at it's eye bleeding brightest settings 24 hours a day and mainly stick to Netflix and apple tv with occasional news station going on and some gaming. The rest of the stuff we do is on iPads. So worst case I call in my home and content insurance premium, best case I get an awesome tv at substantial discount. Exactly my mentality haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 7 left last I checked after I bought mine, they sold over 70 of them all ready. Edited November 11, 2018 by JimmyiovinE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWretchedWorld Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 I got mine through work using my staff discount. Worked out to be the exact same price at the eBay listing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondes Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I grabbed the LG C8 55” at $1950, great TV and price. It’s an amazing image, to soon to talk about burn in. Hopefully that doesn’t happen. obviously a 75” or bigger would be the ultimate, but just to damn expensive for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this has been suggested earlier in the thread, but to minimise the risk of burn-in you can configure the OLED Light setting to be lower than the default values for each picture mode (which in theory should improve longevity). Have a look at calibration guides around the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at calibration guides around the web. This is a very important step! Out of the box your OLED will be trying to fry your face. Also ensure you leave things like the screen saver on, obviously. My C7 65" has been going well for nearly a year now, and have only noticed the temporary image retention, no permanent burn. At the end of the day, nothing else can match an OLED yet. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyiovinE Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hi guys, long time no see, and hope everyone is doing well. This is an old thread now hey! Anyway thought I would resurrect it, I still have the LG C8 OLED, it's now August 29th, 2023, and still no burn-in at all. It has 1000's of hours by now, more, of gaming. Movies, being constantly left on all day in the background and still going strong, I bought the C9 77" two years ago as well for my theatre room, still pumping as well. no idea if anyone will see this now this thread is so old, but just in case, great TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariki Padlie Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I still have my original 65" C7. No issues at all With Movies and Gaming and still an amazing image for a 6 year old TV. Probably "Pops" a little more than my newer 77" A80J to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
