LG G5

What's everyone done with their stands? Presume you all wall mount them?
I kept the stand for the C7 this replaces as I thought it would help with resale in the future but it's a 2017 TV and I'm asking so little for it on marketplace that I don't think an included stand would affect the asking price too much. Don't fancy keeping this thing in the garage for the next 10 years, it's a decent sixed box.

Not worth selling. I have mine on floor stand that has couple of shelves . Fair sized but stored in airing cupboard
 
You'd have to think vast majority of owners would be wall mounting. Given the size of the box and the fact its a separate package to the TV box it could / should have been an optional no cost extra imo.
 
Got my G5 65" arriving this afternoon. The OLD C2 will be moved into our snug/kitchen area to replace the old Gen 1 Sky Glass.
The GF finally asked me the size difference last night :eek:
She laughed and said we've our own IMAX cinema now in the living room :cry:

Do we ideal picture settings anywhere for this new TV? A base to start for the perfect picture

yours was an early 2020 model so a step up to a G5 would be a serious upgrade.

Quite tempted, not sure what my CX would fetch, it has a minor power on issue that occurs sometimes, I think I might just offer it to a local charity, if I do get a G5.

I was thinking wait for a G6 for Dolby vision 2, but I think DV2 is still a while
Off and not something that is a must.

Nice, I’m lost with the version numbers , is a CX which I have, older than the C2?

I’m thinking of the G5 or new G6 maybe this year.

I think the CX came out as the C2 did.

Had the screen of C1, but internals and style of the C2.

Sorry, I’m an idiot. I was talking about the CS. The C2 is 2022, the CX was 2020

I have the CS, "Had the screen of C1, but internals and style of the C2" is correct. I keep finding myself looking at G5's, I love my CS, its in a pretty dark room so its lack of brightness isnt an issue, however, I bought a 55" and in the last year or so I've been thinkning I should have stumped for the 65". So if Im goign to jump up I am going to get do it properly so I have no remorse in a year.

I'm also going to be coming from a CX. I've seen the G5 in the flesh, it's significantly better than what we have. The difference in brightness alone is insane.

I don't think the G6 is needed personally unless you get a good price.

Nice, I’m just going to wait for a little bit, just to see the reviews of the G6 and I think waiting for g6 release will hopefully see g5 price drop some more.

Filmaker Mode is fantastic, not much to tweak really. I got an 83" C5 just after Christmas and it's superb :)
 
so I may have an issue with my new G5

whilst watching the football earlier today I could see some faint lines behind the picture. assumed it was the lighting until now I've seen these lines when the screen is dark :confused:

I think I may need a replacement already
