When are the new year models due ?

 

I'm guessing that's when they will likely drop pries on the old model.

 

Could be keen on an LG g5.

You should also consider mini RGB LED. Hisense announced theirs a couple of weeks ago.

The C is ok. The G is truly impressive.

If you see the value, then have at it. I've had a C1 since release, can't see why i'd move to a G.

If you put a C5 beside your C1, you might change your mind :)

The newer panels are nicer yes, I had a C1 repaired in 2024 with a newer panel and it is more uniform.

I'm sure the C5 will be better than the 1. Not that I think its a justifiable upgrade.

The question is, is it worth getting a G5 over a C5.

Including the 116" which is available now in NZ. Pity about the $45k price tag.

The halo effect on mini-led is still a bit prominent, it’s great in bright content but any dark/black contrast and it stands out a bit.
