New LG Panels 2021 for Harmony, Eclipse and Contour

With the new panels also comes WebOS 6, which now has a full screen home menu "alowing more space for sponsorised content". As I'm not a huge fan of "sponsorized content" on a €14k TV, I hope that you can turn on your Tv directly on a source without this home screen.

I did chuckle at this:
They are also releasing smaller 42” OLED panels which will be interesting and sell well I think.

Maybe B&O can sponsor their Logo so it can pretend to be a B&O TV!
Interesting, and horrible at the same time.Some TV brands have been including the sponsored content tiles for a while, and coupled with sharing a lot of the users usage data, are a revenue source.I’d have hoped that LG did not need to do this - its fine for Vizio and TCL to do this, not having LG’s scale.But if LG are going down the same route, that’s a bit disappointing.With the new panels also comes WebOS 6, which now has a full screen home menu "alowing more space for sponsorised content".

The Alpha 9 processor that is needed for B&O integration (at least that was the story with the release of the Stage), is also featured in the new QNED-panels. So maybe we’ll have some LCD options in future too (for Stage and maybe even Contour/Eclipse)?

I'd wait a generation and move up to MicroLED. That's the future:
Considering that numerous CES 2021 YouTube clips are referring to LG as "luxury TV brand" to separate out from TCL, etc., so is "sponsored content" detracting from the "luxury" experience?
One of the articles I read wrote that WebOS6.0 is also a distraction in that prior versions just 'happen in the background' and the new one is about being in the foreground. Makes you wonder if being in the background is a better experience.
Be interesting to see in time if sponsored content can be removed and how customisable the UI is to the customer.
I couldn't see when these panels will come to market? It normally happens way later in the year from memory after CES announcements, product reviews, etc.

The CX and GX were announced same time last year and I bought mine in late March 2020 - was one of the first to hit the UK.
No way will B&O switch to these new panels any time soon. That's not how they operate. Eclipse v1 used the same panel for 3 years, so expect the Eclipse v2 to use the GX for 'some time yet'.
