This targeted advertising is getting out of hand!Somewhat disconcertingly whilst watching this most excellent OLED review was a pop up advert selling hair transplants whilst Count Withers was extolling the virtues of this display ... And the name of the clinic... Steven Clinic. Do AV Forumites get a discount Steve?
There's absolutely no tilt to the panel, it must have been set up on an uneven surface in the store you visited.Great review as always, Steve!
A few things come to mind after watching it all the way through.
Is the backwards tilt adjustable when using the Alpine stand? I've seen the set in store and it had quite an A1E-ish style tilt.
C8 being the "sweet spot" in the range this year. I can see why you'd say it, but I have a strong suspicion the B8 will be the most discounted model come Black Friday and that picture quality may be identical to C8+. I am really looking forward to hearing your opinion about that model, assuming a review is in the pipeline .
Fantastic news! I thought that may be the case. I did ask and was incorrectly informed that it wasn't adjustable. In Steve we trust!There's absolutely no tilt to the panel, it must have been set up on an uneven surface in the store you visited.
Yeah sorry about that, I didn't realise the cursor was moving around behind me until afterwards.Steve when you review your next LG OLED stop waving that bloody remote about,spent more time watching that than you.Great review though

I keep telling LG's Korean engineers that there's an old saying in English – "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"Did you mean to spell out the word HELP?
I agree about WebOS, its good to see them sticking with it and fine tuning it year on year, rather than go with something new to look, well, new.

We have ours in the bedroom. Next to it is our large "portable" aircon and I swear to god some nights when the missus has gone to bed early and fell asleep with the TV still on, I've had to put the airon on to cool the room.Installed my new LG65C8 last week as a replacement for my 60inch Pioneer Kuro, goodness how I loved that tv! Anyway, the LG is looking like it's worth the investment in terms of HDR video picture quality because the Pioneer topped out at 1080p. Strangely text resolution was clearer on the Pioneer when connected it to my laptop using MS Office apps, still trying to figure out why? Also, I'll need to turn on the tv room heating for the first time in years come the autumn as the Pioneer used to chuck out heat like an electric fire.
Thank you Steve for this great review.I keep telling LG's Korean engineers that there's an old saying in English – "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
No I don't have any I'm afraid.Thank you Steve for this great review.
Are you planning on doing the best picture setting for this tv?
Well, it's only October but it's looking like I was at least partially wrong. The 65" C8 is discounted here in Finland this week to €2189 (£1912~), which I find a ridiculously good value proposition. Mine will be arriving Monday, in the meantime I have to brush up on additional steps for calibrating OLED.Great review as always, Steve!

Yeah, tell me about it! I've been an expat for 10 years and UK prices are certainly one thing I don't miss. Particularly bad in recent years with the weak pound.I really don't understand how come in some smaller countries with less competition among retailers you can get prices like this (Finland post above) and in uk where competition is supposedly stronger, they are all stuck on £2800?!
