LG 42-inch OLED

Not exactly a fair comparison as it was gimped compared to the bigger versions but the Samsung 43QN90A dropped fairly quickly after release last year.

People want value for money more than ever so the 42C2 might not be as popular as we think. Sure there is a lot of interest on forums like this but is the mass market willing to pay over £1k for a 42"? Guess we'll find out soon enough
It all depends how much stock there will be of 42 inchers. If LG deliberately made this a niche product with little stock than it will be hard to buy. 48 inch for the first year was also an atrocious value compared to 55" and still was OOS most of the time.

Indeed this. Its not a value proposition product, rather brings together a number of niches that allow it to command a premium, just like 48" when it came out as you point out.

It will eventually drop of course, I would not be suprised to see it sitting sub £1k end of its life cycle.
 
Arse, missed that but don't want to cancel and re order.

email them and ask them if they can do something about it rather then cancelling and re-ordering it, companies can usually do internal refund and resales it just mean they re-do the receipt paperwork's and e-mail or post it out to you. Richer sounds are usually on-it and clued up compared to majority of retailers.

I was not aware of that code until someone on hotuk forums posted it, posted asap here.
 
Another odd thing is the color of the backplate. The 42C24LA got the black back and the LB got the white:

The 5% seems to be present too but not really worth it I think because of hassles with return policies.

Anyway, we'll soon find it out!

Good spotting, will need to be careful with model numbers someone over on Av community mentioned a dutch store is getting 48C2 in stock this Thursday, so looks like europe stock is also hitting now, stop the fomo reported today that the bigger C2 screens will be coming end of March to early April I think, also Sonys QD-OLEDs late april. Looks like will finally be getting stock and proper reviews of everything soon.

Indeed. I don't understand this odd design choice. The white stand version will look hideous on my desk for example. So the 48C2 this Thursday, so nothing about the 42C2?
QD-OLED for now is not an option because of limited size options, tho I'm curious but not excited.

So LA is black version and LB is white. Pretty confusing...
 
Nothing yet on the 42 C2 but id imagine its only 2-3 weeks behind stock wise. Yeah will be careful I know someone who got an 65" C1 and they sent the white one by accident and even wall mounted the white edges and back was noticeable he was trying to just keep it but it doesn't work always.
 
When is the 42/48" expected to be available for pre-order?

**seems the 48" is available now.

You have been able to preorder 42 for a while, john Lewis was few weeks back and some others last week. As for stock apparently mine (42) will be here next week but got order in pretty quick at richer sounds. I imagine similar elsewhere with later orders coming in over next few weeks / month depending when your order was in / backlog.
 
I just called up and they said they will refund the £50 and keep my location in queue in place. Worth giving them a call. Did not mention anything about the buds though so if I get both nice bonus :D
Thanks will try calling.

Fyi for the buds I sent them a web note with my order number and they said they'll add them to the order for me.
 
I wonder if RS will have anoigh stock to fulfill all preorders :) hope so, ordered 42c2, will try to order Alienware, I will keep better one and give second one to my missus ;)

I ordered over the phone as could not get buds online in first instance. But yeah they sent me updated invoice today. Shows TV with knocked down price with voucher + buds so happy days :)
 
42" Sony OLED here

You can just see with his set up, 42" just miles better at the size and distance. Probably even better @ 31" and 34" though.
