- Start date
I'd guess $15+K for the 77".

Probably be $20k like 77" G6.

Considering the type of TV we're talking about... that's actually not too bad. I think we can all agree that LG is mastering their panel production to be able to sell them at those prices.
With their new facility coming in 2018 - doubling their OLED production I believe - I think prices will continue to get lower!

It's a flagship, basically a prototype. Every year has a model that comes out like this and is ridiculously expensive as it is cutting edge. You won't be seeing this thing in stores.

Did the Samsung stream already passed? Where is everyone getting the info from?

It's over - it was at 5 PM EST.
Here's a live blog:

Yes, it was 5-6 eastern.
I got burned by my last Samsung LED purchase (awful clouding and light bleed that started a month after the warranty expired), but these do look nice

2 questions. Does the b6 do 3d?
Also, thought i read somewhere the b6 has not gotten its input lag fixed while the c6/e6 have, is that true?
It's not a surprise, but I'm very disappointed to see that 3D is dead now.
Since they're still only 150 nits without any ABL in SDR, I'm guessing the removal of 3D is where most or all of the brightness improvements came from this year.
I was tempted to rush out and buy an E6 for 3D support because they're on sale right now, but the possibility of variable refresh rate support is far more important.
It's a shame that Samsung blew it with QLED and that stupid pixel structure.
Too bad that we're not going to get those quantum dot color filters in front of an OLED TV.
I'm very excited about the Sony conference.

Did any one see the real OLED MVP? The Panasonic EZ1002. They are claiming double the brightness of conventional OLED panels - IE LG.

I'll refer you to this post on last page to my very quote:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=227676587&postcount=1392
B6 doesn't do 3D and input lag may be worse.
I really REALLY don't buy that number. If they gave a specific "1,000 nits" figure or something to that effect, I'd buy it, but it sounds like marketing speak.
I'm excited for the reviews on this one, but again, uncertainty around HDMI 2.1 support is killing my interest in any 2017 model thus far.

B6 doesn't do 3D, you will need to upgrade to the E6.
The B6 has not gotten the HDR Game Mode while the E6 has. Keep in mind this fix is for HDR gaming, not regular gaming, you need to use game mode for less input lag.

Ah, so...did the tv's look good?
Last sammy I had was the ks8000 and the panel was perfect not bleeding/clouding too bad it had other issues.
What time is the Sony conference starting in EST?
Damn, first thing Samsung did when the conference started was apologize for the Note 7.
Todays announcement makes me glad I bought the E6. I've watched quite a few 3D Blu-rays since April and what was announced today would have pushed me towards it. Hopefully, 3D Blu-ray sales are good enough to warrant continued releases.

We talked about this a couple pages back - that claim is dubious at best. In the same press release, they claim this is the first HDR Capable 4K TV, which is bullshit.
We will have to wait for real life tests to see if it is true.
Correct, Panasonic is full of shit with their 2x OLED brightness PR fluff. Unless they consider OLED to be 400 nits only.
That is contrary to the other article about brightness for this model.
Sounds like marketing in which a very specific test yields almost double brightness in a small part of the screen.
Their first OLED used the 2015 panels (~400 nits) so it's twice as bright as that.
Heh, that makes more sense.

Anyone here have the new Oppo 4K player?
I use a Xbox One to play my 4K blurays now but i find the disc speed a bit high/loud and would like a player which runs quieter.
Thanks

I see. So they're referencing 2 year old OLED panels. PR gonna PR.

Sony is at 8PM EST.
Intel is starting now. Engadget is doing a live blog. Looks like Intel is doing the conference in VR.

You know what... I'm not even hyped for it anymore. They'll be using LG's panels on their OLEDs so we know what to expect.
I want to see QLEDs reviews. I hope it is indeed a good technology and not too expensive.
1080p looks sublime and so does 1440p.

We're too near to announcement time for this type of behavior. You will rehype yourself now

Maybe I'll be hyped if they show us a really good TV. Otherwise, meh.
Panasonic's EZ1000 already sounds better than all of LGs OLEDs.

So will the prices on the current available 4k TVs lower soonish, after today? Has that been the case in the past? Idk about anything TV related along with their prices. Looking to maybe get a good 4k TV in the coming months; looking at the Sony 800D and the Samsung KS8000. Probably a long shot for the KS8000, I doubt it will lower that much anytime soon.

LG passing out press releases at the show stating their 2017 Oled sets have 21ms of input lag!!
This is great news! Also LG Stated today that ABL will not kick in if the tv is setup for 150nits or under for sdr which is perfect for a calibrated set
Look like they fixed a lot of problems I Had with the c6 I had ( input lag and abl ). Just hoping it doesn't have a piss stain in the middle that the c6 I had and uniformity at near black is improved more.
