Topic: LG TV Line-up 2014

[dm1179]

CES 2014 was quite a show for LG. They had everything people had hoped for; new OLED TVs, new 4K TVs, a much improved Smart TV platform, and aggressive plans to make everything available to consumers. For the first time in a decade, LG looked like the bigger brother of the two South Korean conglomerates. LG stole Samsung’s thunder and is rapidly emerging as the most innovative TV maker – if they can continue to build on their momentum.



All of LG’s 2014 LED models will be available this spring together with the new cheaper OLED TVs. LG’s 4K OLED TVs will be available in Q3 or Q4.



LG EC9700 & EC9800 (4K OLED)

LG PB6900 (PLASMA)
PB6900 is LG’s top-of-the-line plasma TV in 2014 – but there is not much high-end about it. It lacks advanced picture systems and does not offer the new webOS platform either.

[the_w0rks]

for sure hanggang LB6 or LB7 series pa lang kakayanin ng budget ko this year. haha so ipon muna this year until bumaba na yung 4k tvs na OLED.

[DTNS]

wow! I didn't expect to see new plasma tvs in LG's 2014 lineup. it's good to know they haven't abandoned plasma tech yet.

[mastahmind]

anyone knows if 240hz yung ub8500 or not?

[dm1179]

^UB8500 has TruMotion 100Hz

[ronnel0918]

Sayang walang 32" na LB6300. Masyadong steep na price ng 42" nararamdaman ko. :p

Anyway, what LED TVs have TruMotion especially in the 32"-42" range? Budget with at least Php30,000.

[mccoy26]

looking for a 55"-60" in the 60-70k range, preferably Smart TV. Does the 2014 LG line up have one?

[addigital]

is it just me or are the LG TV's giving the more dominant companies -- like Samsung and Sony -- are run for their money?

On another note, how come I don't see much Panasonic nor Toshiba TV's around?

Yes they are. I have one of their 2012 and 2013 models and both have been very pleasing. Best feature that I use for both is wifi streaming from my phone to the tv. Plus love the fact that their built in media players can read way more codecs than Sony and Samsung tvs

LB5820 has TruMotion. Smart TV. No 3D.

39LB5820 SRP = P31,990
42LB5820 SRP = P36,990
50LB5820 SRP = P64,990

no stock pa yata ng 55"-60" now. incoming pa lang siguro. wait ka muna.

Check out the 2014 LG 60LB5820 smart tv (non-3D) at SM. Cash price is 71,992. Baka cheaper dyan sa Manila.

Sony is no longer a dominant brand for TVs. Even TCL outsold them last year.


Sony's been trying these past years to maintain competitiveness by sourcing most of their TVs from Hon Hai, Wistron and Compal.

[the_w0rks]

That's a shame. I used to own a lot of Sony products and before either Sony or Sharp lang binibili naming tvs.

The past couple of years na naghanap ako ng Tv palagi ko nicheck out Sony and the other 2 Korean brands. I always got to the conclusion na kulang ng features yung Sony. Pero kung PQ lang talaga, Sony pa din angat for me

You probably prefer their preset picture config (and maybe processing) since they mostly just rely on other makers to supply them with panels. Samsung, LG and Sharp supply them with panels for higher end models. The lower end units source from Taiwanese panel makers.

[systemid]

Question lang mga sir. Ano mas ok na unit kunin?
51f5000 or lg 50lb5820?
(Samsung plasma 51f5000 - full hd plasma tv Php32,000)
(Lg 50lb5820 - 50' smart led tv, full hd - Php 46500)
Sulit ba yung difference nila sa price, dahil mababawi naman sa electricity? Mamaya na sana ako kukuha ng unit. Thanks.

Yeah, the out-of-the-box pq, I mean. Kasi with my LG tvs, medjo redish at the beginning but can easily be adjusted to be on par with Sony.

checked Anson's and Avant parehong walang stock 2nd week of June pa daw.Saan kaya meron na presyong Anson's.

[alas6]

took the plunge and replaced our 42" panny plasma in the theater room with the 49ub850t...no regrets so far 

[the_w0rks]

how much? How is the pq?

[alas6]

imo, pq is very good.  i played around with the resolution and decided on upscaling the output of both the samsung bd player and med8er to 4k via denon x2000.  i tried out the settings from another forum (http://www.avforums.com/threads/4k-lg-ub850v-and-ub950v.1878217/) and am pretty satisfied: 

Backlight: 89

Sharpness: 27
Colour: 73
Tint: 0
Colour Temperature: C20

Advanced:

Dynamic Contrast: Medium

Gamma: Medium

i can't wait to see the output when there are already available sources that can do real 4k @ 60fps. 

now for the bad: viewing sd channels    i just watch regular tv in the other room

got it for 64k straight payment via card at anson's..comes with the passive 3d glasses and wall bracket.  i think you can get it cheaper if you pay cold cash.  also went to avant and they were selling it around 80k+ bundled with the ht system. you can pay via credit card installment for this.

Awesome. Thats a great price for a 4k tv at that size. Will target a larger screen tho so i'll be saving up pa.hehe

Anyway, I also have LG sets (2012 and 2013 models). Try these settings baka magustuhan mo

Congrats bro!

This is my next target hehe. 69K ba ang bili mo? Meron din daw lalabas na 55" version at around 97K kung cash. Ang pinag-iisipan ko is kung worth it ba ang 28K difference sa price for the 6-inch difference sa size.

Good to know that you got the LG 49" 4K TV at P64k sa Ansons. Was already tempted to get it for P69k at SM. But I decided to wait for the bigger picture size and test it first.

At 64k, it's the same price as the 50" LB5820, making the choice a no-brainer.  The question is what their logic is for the pricing of a 4k panel vs one that's not even a full web OS set.

Maybe they are positioning it against the 50" TCL UHD that's selling for 69K. Possible din that they want the UHD to go mainstream faster, then benta sila ng mas mahal na models pag nasanay na ang mga tao sa 4K.

[Lancito]

Gusto ko yung pinaka murang LG na 79 inches.  Perfect size.

[Lancito]

When will the 2014 line up be available locally?
