Nah, only the 48" 4k and 77" 8k share the same sheet as they have the same pixel density. The reason we have a 48" is probably because this increases the yield for them when they make the 8k panel as they probably can cut out parts that are faulty and use it as a 48" 4k panel instead.
Yes, cut from the same substrates is my understanding.
Substrate composition maybe but the density/PPI has to be different. Or a 48" would be 3300x1500 or something stupid.
It's going to be 35.5LBS, 200x200 and launch @ $1999.
Weight is probably right but I imagine they'll use the same 200x300 VESA they've had for some time now. TV's this size/weight invariably go with rectangular ratio for VESA, not square.
So they could cost similar to 55" then?The 48" 4K panels have nothing to do with 8K panels. The 48" simply replaces the 55" on the multi-model glass (MMG) at the 8.5-generation Paju and Guangzhou plants that use Cannon MPAsp-H1003T lithographers.

Current China rigmarole will put a dent in production though.
I think people expecting an OLED with a three-figure price tag will be bitterly disappointed. Maybe Black Friday 2020 they could hit that, but until then I expect launch price to be high, perhaps only a couple hundred less than the 55". I can't see it being the same price, that wouldn't make a great deal of marketing or business sense.
PPI isn't enough. There isn't much difference between the PPI on my 49" Samsung CRG9 and my 55" LG C9, but the CRG9 has much better text rendering. Something needs to be done about the pixel structure and/or the ClearType software.
I'm planning to try a 55" with an IPS panel and RGB pixels next. I've pretty much given up on the LG OLED for text use. I tried hard to live with it for the other benefits (gaming, videos) but text is just too important to me since that's what I do most of the time.
It's weird seeing that these actually weigh that much when it doesn't feel like it. I had to look to confirm my 55" weighs 16.3 kg .
Right? Just read that my 65 C9 is 75lbs with the stand. I never looked it up before you mentioned it here. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't sit my it on my center speaker.
I believe the weight is listed wrong for the 65" (with the stand). This is the weight of the 77". I think the weight of the 65" is about 65lbs.
The 65" C9 is listed at 25.2kg/55lbs MINUS stand, and with the stand at 33.9kg/74.7lbs. That's listed in a few places, but not sure how to verify exactly unless someone can actually weigh it themselves.
Other 65" TV's come in a bit less it seems, while 75" models are more... the 77" I'd expect to be more still, and its weight is listed at 29.9kg/65.9lbs without stand, 36.5kg/80.4lbs with the stand.
Who knows...
It's wrong for the 65" - the stand is 10lbs, not 20lbs.

No way. My 55" B9 stand isn't anywhere near that. The 65" may be have a slightly bigger one, but no way is it 10lbs... that's REALLY heavy for a stand, would practically have to be solid cast iron steel to way that much lol!
B9 and C9 have very different stands with very different weights. The C9 stand is very heavy.
I can confirm this. The 65 C9 stand was like pulling a boulder out of the box. No way it's 10lbs.
Yep, it's very heavy. A beefy chunk of metal. I wasn't expecting it.I can confirm this. The 65 C9 stand was like pulling a boulder out of the box. No way it's 10lbs.
Yeah putting up my 65" LG C9 was a two person job to make it comfortable. The stand is big, heavy and crappy design compared to the sleek and tiny ones on my previous Samsung TV.
Also if any of you are planning to wall mount or monitor arm the LG CX 48" then remember that the VESA mounting point does not sit at the center of the back but at bottom center of the screen.
You will need this:Damn right. Also I was scared shitless picking it up. We're likely moving later this year and I'm deathly afraid of transporting it, even if it's just across town.

Same here. First off the box barely fit in the car and the way to get it out of the box and install the stand is excessively complicated for such a simple thing. Since the display is so thin and it comes with a paper saying "don't pick it up from here, here, here and here" I didn't know where the hell I was supposed to carry it. By comparison my previous 65" Samsung I can carry by myself no problem and setting it up is super easy with the breakout box. LG would be wise to adopt something similar because having all the inputs at the side and back is a bit annoying.
I bought a 55" b9 for my mother to replace an old tv, and it's a terrible design imo from a logistical standpoint.
Having a thin area on top is meaningless if the base is very thick, it just makes handling the tv more difficult. And from a technical standpoint, Panasonic has showed that having a thicker back with more robust cooling helps achieve higher peak and sustained brightness. I never understand why having some hyper thin tv was more important than performance. If a tv was an inch thick across the board, that would be fine by me, and easier to carry if needed.
Nah, only the 48" 4k and 77" 8k share the same sheet as they have the same pixel density. The reason we have a 48" is probably because this increases the yield for them when they make the 8k panel as they probably can cut out parts that are faulty and use it as a 48" 4k panel instead.
Pathetic weaklings.
When my 65" was delivered I unpackaged it and put it together all by myself.
