The glass part underneath the Eclipse sound center which is designed to match the panel above, so it looks seamless?

I am intending to buy 65" Eclipse 2, but am really in trouble with that new G1 arriving:

- Is it really a major upgrade (brighter)?

- What will it cost?

- When is it available?

 

 

If someone really knows...

Brighter, yes if we assume they are telling the truth, And I guess they do.

When is this relevant, when you see HDR content only. Is the current gen. plenty bright, yes IMO.

Cost, your guess is as good as mine, but same price the GX was in summer 2020.

First units maybe in late May/June, for full price.

November Black Friday, may be the first price adjustment. 

If 2021 is as every other year.

Thanks a lot for this interesting comment, Emil.

My current consumption is "standard TV" from my Digibox: motor racing, musical shows, ...

I make the conclusion that it is not worth waiting. However, with delivery issues on electronics market, I do not know when my 65" could be delivered...

Have a nice day

I have a GX eclipse and I feel the screen is much dimmer than the Avant it replaces. Especially in daylight. It can be run brighter but mainly looks good in evenings. So I get that a brighter panel can be better.

 

 

I think the cost will be the same. If you can wait then just wait. No reason not to.

Hallo Michael,

If you take the ISF picture mode, the brightness will only be improved in HDR, and an example of that would be in Harry Potter a Light from a light pole would be brighter not the picture overall.

The screen shows the correct colors and here brightness cannot go up and down as you please.

But there is a Day/night ISF setting to compensate for this. I always have it in ISF Dark.

Your OLED can have a brighter picture than your AVANT, just choose another picture mode, the picture however will not be correct.

But if that make it possible for you to see in daylight it could be a good trade off.

Does anyone know what LG panels / sizes are available for horizon, eclipse and contour? And which of them may see a 2021 upgrade based on what we’ve seen at ces? Are all three “upgradeable” and can they even upgrade in size?

So no details of measurements have been said,

But I see no reason why not all 3 model series can use the new panels.

It is only the Harmony that can use 3 sizes 65/77/88

As the new 83" is going to be a C series, I do not think Harmony will adopt this size.

We do not know the exact measurements yet.

But there will not be an updated GX panel, or there will and it is called G1

I would be surprised if they do not use the G1.

As already discussed here, B&O does not have the volumes to ask for a specific screen, they will be "forced" to take the G1. 

But as there is a chip shortage, I do not expect the new panels to be on time this year (usually around may). I'm waiting for the new LG HU810P/AU810P beamers but they have already been delayed for Europe. I expect the same for TVs.
