TechRadar's Article link below and their lineup description copied below as well. www.techradar.com/news/lg-tv-catalog-2019-heres-every-lg-tv-model-coming-in-2019LG OLED 2019 Models LG Signature Series OLED R (available in 65 inches): The standout television for 2019 is undoubtedly the 65R9 rollable OLED, featuring LG's new a9 Gen 2 processor. First teased at CES 2018, it's being slated for release in late 2019, using a flexible OLED panel to unfurl the television display at the touch of a button – perfect for saving space and, let's be honest, impressing guests. There's no RRP yet, but it'll certainly cost a small fortune – start rolling up those dollar bills. LG OLED Z9 (available in 88 inches): As the flagship LG OLED – or at least, the flagship that doesn't curl up into a box – the LG OLED Z9 is an 8K powerhouse with big promises for 8K upscaling and 'improved noise reduction' for clean, smooth images. With 33 million pixels across 88 inches of screen, it'll certainly have to work hard to do it – and the a9 Gen 2 processor will surely come in handy. Advertisement LG OLED W9 (available in 65, 77 inches): The W9 upgrade to last year's LG W8 will come with the new a9 Gen 2 processor's improvements to High Frame Rate, HDR, and overall picture and sound processing – as well as the same thin, picture frame shape that made this 'wallpaper' television series so attractive. The W8 came with a 60W 4.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar built in to the set, so we're likely to see similar audio credentials for this model. LG OLED E9 (available in 55, 65 inches): If last year is anything to go by, the new E Series model will feature the same specs at the W9, but with a glass body and tacked-on chassis instead of the W8's 'wallpaper' design. LG OLED C9 (available in 55, 65, 75 inches): The newest C Series model is confirmed, and experience teaches us to expect a neat balance of performance and price, without ditching the company's latest processor to do it. Last year's LG C8 came with a 2.2 soundbar too. LG OLED B9 (available in 55, 65 inches): Unlike last year's LG B8 model, the more budget-friendly B Series OLED won't be left behind with an ageing processor. The LG B9 will carry the a9 (Gen 2) chip, though with a cheaper build and less advanced panel than the other OLEDs in this list.

Good stuff. I have long decided that my next TV for the family room is going to be a 55" OLED.
Since I have an aversion to replace stuff that still works if it does not limit (too much 😁) my A/V enjoyment, I am still giving a little more time to my Vizio LCD to die.
In the meantime, I hope that an entry level 55" OLED gets closer to the $1,000 mark.

Good stuff. I have long decided that my next TV for the family room is going to be a 55" OLED. I have 2 friends with OLEDs and both of them have burn in, most noticeably around the lower left of the screens where the stations ID's and logos appear. As a result I'm looking at QLED with HDR10+, Panasonic or Samsung. Cheers Gary

Unfortunately I can’t swing it atm and I don’t use credit for such purchases so I’ll do with what I have for now. Deffinetly look at it though. Let us know what you finally decide on. One more thing, the bigger the better! Size does matter! 😋

But we don't keep it set at full brightness, either. I will not hesitate to buy another after getting spoiled by the picture quality. doc1963 also has a couple OLEDs with no burn in

Odd that the W9 says 77" and the C9 says 75". I'm thinking the 77" is a typo, no? Either way, IF I were TV hunting these would be on my short list.

Well the simple fact is your friends didn't break the sets in properly, they haven't used any care practices during use, they must watch the same channel all the time, and they probably don't have the sets calibrated properly. The last 2 are probably, but I guarantee the first 2. Burn is is real, yes, but it's HIGHLY overrated with a little care and consideration. Let's not argue the point here in this informative thread please.

I have a LG oled TV 65 inch since 2016 with no burn in. It is a amazing TV! The last of the 65 inch curved 3d oled tv"s. I love it and it gets used a good 8 hours a day.

Cheers Gary I do not have cable (waste of money, if you ask me) and rarely watch OTA broadcast TV. 95% of the time I consume content off Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu or Bluray. Thus, not overly worried about potential OLED burn-in. I did experience some of that (but barely visible only on a very dark background) in my previous phone, a Motorola Droid Turbo. The Android soft keys got "imprinted" at the bottom of the screen

Still has an amazing picture and ZERO burn-in. The 65C6P I have in the media room has far fewer hours, but also ZERO burn-in (and my grandkids “game” on that set). I bought my stepdaughter the same 55C6P after she fell in love with mine. Like mine, this is her “daily driver” and, also like mine, ZERO burn-in. Of course, I gave all three of them a “semi-pro” calibration straight out of the box. With some research, some basic tools and a keen eye, a basic setup isn’t that hard to do and, for us, an ounce of prevention obviously goes a long way. And like you... there’s no way I’d ever consider not buying another OLED...

If you decide to forgo OLED, you may want to consider Vizio's 2019 lineup as well. www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/vizio-tv-p-series-quantum-x-m-series-v-series-ces-2019/

Unfortunately no Vizios in Australia at the moment, maybe in the future, they keep promising. I could buy one in the US and reship it but the freight on that big a box makes it uneconomical. Cheers Gary

I watch Fox News a lot, so no OLED for me. I understand that emissive displays perform best, but Bret Brair can only look so good. I watch movies on my projector with 120" screen.

I have a 2016 65" LG OLED. Had it professionally calibrated. We swear it has a better picture than many of the movies we see at theaters (of course, it's a helluva lot smaller!)
We watch it for several hours everyday - no burn-in.
I'm surprised LG is going to different panels for different "levels". In 2016, my "B" series OLED had the same panel as the top of the line model.

We watch Fox news everynight for an hour or two. No burn in on my 1+ year old OLED. You just don't want to keep the OLED at 100 which is too bright anyway.

Oh here we go. Well the simple fact is your friends didn't break the sets in properly, they haven't used any care practices during use, they must watch the same channel all the time, and they probably don't have the sets calibrated properly. The last 2 are probably, but I guarantee the first 2. Burn is is real, yes, but it's HIGHLY overrated with a little care and consideration. Let's not argue the point here in this informative thread please. How do you break in a set? Set the sharpness to zero. Set the brightness and contrast to about 30-40%. Set color and tone to about 50%. Then run Blu-rays that have full 16:9 images with constant motion in A-B repeat mode for at least 100 hours (I did mine for 200). No widescreen black bars or static images. It can also be done with a TV show, but be careful as it needs to be something that does not show static channel logos etc. That's why when I did it I picked about 5 Blu-rays ahead of time before my TV even arrived to make sure they were full 16:9. I varied the Blu-rays to make sure the TV got different color pallets every so often (morning when I got up, evening when I got home, and then again before going to bed). I forget them all, but a couple I used were Toy Story and American Pie. It is during this period of time that all TV's (especially Plasma and OLED) need to be "babied" and broken in. Doing so will make your TV run better, run longer, and basically eliminate the chance of burn in (with a bit of reasonable care as you should do with any TV anyway). This info comes from years of reading Sound & Vision, where it has been mentioned several times, particularly by Thomas Norton.
