2022 LG C2 and G2 owners thread (1 Viewer)

The Eagle has landed and is in our house! LG's 77" G2 is now available at Value Electronics!

 

[Robert_Zohn]

Today we had LG's 2022 77" G2 Gallery Series OLED TV unveiling. We're now shipping 65" and 77" G2s from 5 warehouses and locally from our Scarsdale NY store.



Later tonight YouTube channel Spare Change will have the unboxing, set-up and initial impressions.

G2 looks like a monster!!!

 

[Summum_Malum]

I see that the 42" and 48" C2s don't have the EVO panels. I look forward to reviews comparing the 42" and 48", as my trigger finger is getting itchy to grab my very first OLED. I'm also waiting for A90k reviews...

Right now I have a TCL R615.

Correct ^ again as usual Sam! We are loving LG's new 2022 G2 and the C2 is no slough.

Here's Spare Change's YouTube video. Lots of great coverage in this video!!

LG Electronics US website themselves broke the launch prices a day early on the C2 and G2 OLED TVs.

LG's 42" C2 is $1,399.99

LG's 55" G2 $2,199, 65" G2 $2,999, and the 83" G2 $6,499.

LG also listed a lower price for the 77" G2 at $3,999. It was scheduled to launch next week for $4,199 so this is a pleasant surprise and very aggressive launch price for this premium TV.

We updated our website accordingly.

@Robert_Zohn - Did LG rescind on the lower $3999 price for the G2 77"? It is still showing $4199 on your website in the description and option drop-down.

 

[Robert_Zohn]

When LG posted the 77G2 price on their website the $3,999.99 price was an error and they fixed it in three hours. We saw the $3,999 price and I matched it on our website and corrected the price when LG fixed it on their website.

I believe the $200 lower price is a future sale. One good thing is because of the very reasonable launch prices when they do go on sale the prices will only be modestly lower. In past years the launch prices were much higher and as the year moved along the prices would drop more aggressively.

Forum members are encouraged to email, PM or call me.

Looks like I’m holding off on all Apple and basement theater upgrades this year so 77g2 otw in addition to the 42c2 I’m waiting for.

Yesterday, I spent all day watching videos on Youtube in which some of them had Robert Zohn. Yup, I'm purchasing the 77" G2! I'm just waiting on that pedestal stand because I can fit it in the same footprint as the 65E6P, it's replacing.

 

[Sam Posten]

One of us! One of us! I’m going wall mount with mine tho. Should be interesting

Gimme gimme gimme

Super strange he got a WBC panel in his. @Robert_Zohn - any idea if this is the case with US panels?

 

[Robert Crawford]

Is it true that the G2 series comes with a five year warranty from LG?

 

[Sam Posten]

That’s my understanding

 

[Robert_Zohn]

@Dave Upton, not sure which OLED module we'll have for the 42C2 in the US. I was told it will not be the same evo EX OLED panel; that is used in the 55" - 83" C2.

@Robert Crawford, Yes LG's G2 warranty is one year for all parts and labor and an additional 4 years for the OLED panel only. ​

 

[Robert Crawford]

Robert,

Any update on the pedestal stand for the G2 77"? Pricing and availability.

 

[Carlo_M]

After gifting myself a 65" C1 for Christmas, it's going to be hard to ever step back down from OLED. I'm probably 18 months away from considering perhaps a 77" upgrade (I'm on the hook for a major life purchase whose monthly payments finishes up in that time) so I'll definitely be looking at the C3 (or C4) variants at that time. I posted a thread in this forum how the performance of OLED that I'd gotten used to over the last five months absolutely spoiled me for a standard xenon projection of the new Fantastic Beasts movie this weekend. It was the first time I sat in a theater and thought "my picture quality at home would be better (albeit, smaller)". Still love the IMAX and Dolby Cinema Laser Projection Systems, though.

 

[Sam Posten]

What a great review. Can’t wait for my 42 c2 for gaming. The 77g2 will beat it here tho!

@ Robert Crawford, Sorry to say no update yet on LG's pedestal stand for the 2022 G2 Gallery series OLED TVs. Overdue, so should be very shortly.
