    Fingers crossed they honour the price accepted



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,315 ✭✭✭dan786


    Yeah looks like there was only a short window when both the 100 and 90 discount were active which brought it to 899. Their CS told me that the 90 is to replace the 100 offer and they cannot offer both.

    Did you get a 5 year warranty with that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,109 ✭✭✭The Ayatolla


    Was able to get it for 990. Happy enough with that!

    I have mine on a rotatable frame (which is a bit chunkier) so can't say exactly how close you can get it to sit on the wall. The top part of the panel is incredibly thin, the bottom half is a little wider but definitely not large; Powercity's website lists it as being about 45mm thick but haven't measured it exactly. Can't imagine you'll get it sitting as flush as a Samsung Frame but it's definitely not a thick tv

    Thanks for the details, I'll have a look at it in the flesh and see!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,922 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    This guy has a video showing it on the wall. Around the 2 min mark.

    Not sure it'd be listed with those kind of specs. Looked at your TV & it's Freeview Play compatible so has hbbtv probably only but search the manual on TV for mheg, see if you get anything.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭ACAandCTA


    Thanks, appreciate you sending that! I think Vogels do an 'ultra flat' mount, so I might look into it.

    Probably end up doing some sort of frame/unit or panelling around to soften it, as it does seem a great TV for 900e!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 409 ✭✭Guess_Who


    I can't seem to see it for that price anymore.

    If the code is gone do chance them on their contact us. I asked and got a new link a few mins later for the 100 off.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,457 ✭✭✭FastFullBack


    My tv finally arrived this morning. Only just got a chance to quickly set it up and will fully play around tonight after work. One thing that did flash up and I missed it before I could click it was about registering and getting 3 free months Apple TV. Did anyone else see that? Is that a thing with new LG's?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,922 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Yeah for new Apple TV subscribers that buy an 4k LG TV. Offer runs to Jan 31st so don't hang around.


    Just log into Apple TV on the TV and it should add it for you. There are a few good shows. Ted Lasso, Mythic Quest, morning shows, severance should keep you going for a bit.

    I say PowerCity are doing well out of this thread



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,929 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    I'm half thinking of a 65" myself (still regret that I didn't jump straight to that 2 years ago rather than the 55" LG I have now), but the prices for those seem to be a LOT higher unless you want an "end of life" model. It also has to have a proper stand, not these little feet on each edge.

    I'm also not sold on OLED tbh because of burn-in worries. My Note 20 Ultra suffers a bit from that so that there's a faint discolouration on certain screens, but a big telly would be even more concerning. I'd be happy with an almost as good/better non-OLED tech myself but not up on the differences between Nano-LED, Q-LED etc etc.



  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭palec69


    Might be. Years ago I got 100GB of google drive for free for 12 months. Came with the V30 smartphone.



  • Registered Users Posts: 44 lesterburnham


    I've ordered one. Can anyone vouch for the sound quality of this tv? I have a decent JBL soundbar with a sub woofer with my current tv but I don't think it will fit in front of this tv so I might sell the soundbar if it's not needed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,289 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    I too am not sold on OLED because of burn in which none of the tv manufacturers or retailers will cover under warranty.

    You could look at something like this as an alternative:

    I bought one of these in 55" back in November and am very pleased with it. Doesn't have the same quality picture contrast as OLED but probably the closest you will get having a full LED array panel and local dimming. Pay for it in £ at current exchange rates and it works out a good bit cheaper than their € price.

    I've lasted 11 years with a 60" plasma as my daily TV and gaming screen and never managed to induce burn-in. I'm good on this generation of OLED

    Well tv manufacturers and retailers don't share that confidence with their warranties by excluding it but each to their own.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,922 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Burn in is a non problem in these new panels for normal use.


    If you watch a bit of telly and play a few games and turn it off when not in use then it's never going to be an issue.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,397 ✭✭✭xtal191


    Burn in will only happen if you have the likes of Sky News or stations/games with a static image on 24/7 for months on end, I've also had a plasma for 10+ years with no sign of burn in and an older OLED with no sign of burn in

    Anyone received notice for click & collect yet?



  • Registered Users Posts: 44 lesterburnham


    Received mine today. Absolutely cracking tv for €900! Thanks op.

    Does anyone have an 85" tv? They have seriously gone down in value lately



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,853 ✭✭✭bromley52


    I wonder are they coming down in price as large power hungry TVs are about to be banned in the EU.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,922 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    I needed to avail of the nationwide delivery. Got an email to say Caulfield transport will pick it up today and deliver in 7-10 working days. So it could be two weeks from today before I get it. Hopefully that's an overestimate and it's here this week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,457 ✭✭✭FastFullBack


    You'll get a text from Caulfields once they have it and it'll state 3-4 days working. I think it was 4 working days for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,161 ✭✭✭Dr_Colossus


    OLED? very rare and massively expensive, Sony and LG appear to do an 83" version but you're talking about €5k. I've been keep a rough eye on a Philips 77" OLEDs but prices continue to increase even on older models, the 807 is currently about €4k and think I've seen it for about €3k a few months ago. The 65" 807 is currently about €2.1k so massive difference in cost currently.

    RicherSounds have this 85" Sony LED TV for an impressive £2k so not far behind projector size. (won't let me post full link so hopefully that suffices to find)

    Agreed. I have an €2,500 LG C6V OLED, bought exactly 6 years ago. At about the 3yr mark, it showed a little burn in, which got worse for the next year.

    This was it at the 4yr mark. Lots caused by news channel, but issues in the centre of the TV too. This was in a family room with a good mix of stuff on daily, not set to a news channel all day or anything.


    Despite burn in not being excluded from warranties then, and having a 5yr extended aftermarket guarantee, both Currys and LG gave me the runaround for months. I didn't want a full refund or anything like it, just some sort of contribution towards a replacement which would be adjusted for devaluation and usage over time.

    All in a though, an excellent TV otherwise, and the colours are only apparent in some content.


    All of the above said, I bought a 2021 Sony OLED XT55A80JU on St. Stephens Day for €1,189, and got a €119 voucher back from Harvey Norman, making €1070 net.

    It's got Google TV (2020 had Android TV) and is extremely similar to the 2022 model. I know that this is liable to suffer burn in too, but I'm hoping for better from Sony than LG.

    Originally got a Sony 42" for the London 2012 Olympics (which Sony sent someone to the house to repair for free) and it's still going strong, a 2013 32" in a bedroom which still looks perfect, and a 2021 40" in my apartment which has been flawless to date. All LCD's granted, but a good measure of their manufacturing quality IMO. I'm hoping their OLED loves up to the same.



  • Registered Users Posts: 499 ✭✭TheBigEvil


    The panels used in the Sony OLEDs are supplied by LG as far as I know, so are exactly the same as the LG OLED Panels. But burn in was probably more of an issue a number of years ago, as the quality of the panels have improved since. Still can happen, but should be less likely. But I agree with the point on the warranty, if the manufacturer is not worried about it then they should cover for it in their warranty should it happen.

    As for the the offer from the OP, sorry I missed it, but will probably wait for the C2 to get reduced in price when the C3 comes out. As from what Ive read from the CES show, the C3 is not much of an upgrade on the C2. Seems its just a processor upgrade and updated Web OS. Initial reports say the biggest issue for the C3 is that the C2 is still such a great TV. Hopefully I'll pick up a 65" model at a bargain price in a couple of months 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,922 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Got that text, had my phone on airplane mode by mistake. Fingers crossed it's here by Friday.



  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭palec69


    Collected it today. Everything's fine except the weight...

    On LG's official website, it states the tv is 12.7 kg. My wall mount can hold up to 15 kg, so I thought ill be fine. I weight it with a bathroom scale because I could tell straight away it's more than 12.7 kg when I lifted it. This thing weighs around 18 kg without the stand !!!

    Tv stand is not an option for me and the weight was a major factor when picking the tv. Now I need a new wall mount(100e) and probably drill new holes ... 😡🤬

    Thanks LG and FU LG 🤮



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭Simi


    Price has now jumped to €1630, probably so they can pretend to offer a huge discount whenever the next sale is. Hopefully soon 🤞



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,961 ✭✭✭MegamanBoo


    I saw that too, found this thread and was going to buy one this morning! 😥



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,277 ✭✭✭KeRbDoG


    I have a 5~6 year old LG 65" OLED and it has mininal burn-in - a faint line due to my better half pausing Sky and the progress banner not dimming (thanks Sky for not auto dimming that for whatever reason) and due to day to day use, the middle of the screen has more wear. Funnily, you can only really notice it with the Simpons and the yellow they use for the characters.

    I think that isn't that bad when considering the horror stories people piped out back then for not getting an OLED. The picture quality is still amazing. From reciently walking through the big stores looking at new sets and comparing the other latest/greatest non-OLED to OLEDs sitting side by side, I couldn't get a non-OLED. The picture quality is nowhere near from my feeble eyes. I'm sure others know better.

    Had a moment of madness and ordered a C2 set to replace/move on :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭Simi


    All screen types have their issues. Oled burn-in isn't a unique problem. The last TV I had was a mid range Samsung LED TV which developed blue patches around the 5 year mark just when it was out of warranty.

    It still works grand, but they can be distracting when watching football or something with a uniform colour across the screen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 924 ✭✭✭thegame983


    Very weird. Maybe an error? The C2 is €1399 and that is objectively a better LG TV.



  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭palec69


    Bought one on Sunday and just noticed it's still in my shopping basket with the old price 😆 Went all the way up to "pay now" option, pretty sure I'd be charged 1089.95e for it.

    I contacted Power City directly and they sorted me with a great price. Maybe not quite what some people here got but really good. Great work PowerCity 🙌



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 409 ✭✭Guess_Who


    Contacted them myself....didn't offer any discount. :(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,961 ✭✭✭MegamanBoo


    I think I got the last one, sorry! Hopefully prices will come down again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 761 ✭✭✭finno


    price down to 1399 now, you can buy a C2 for that price



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭Simi


    Yeah it's a strange one. Hopefully they've a discount planned in the near future. The C2 is 'slightly ' reduced again at richer sounds £1099 https://www.richersounds.ie/p-206201-lg-oled55c24la-new-2022-23-oled-55-inch-oled-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-tv-freeview-play-freesat.aspx?swapstore=1

    It'd need to fall quite a bit further.

    They had this for 1,500 pound just before xmas, so realistically it's gone up 500 quid.

    Only got the TV a few days ago, with Christmas shutdown of nationwide delivery.

    Slight flaw in the panel, faint line running down the screen. Mailed PowerCity this morning, included images of fault, and new TV being shipped
