LG's Latest Smart TVs Will Receive AirPlay 2 Update in Mid 2019

How long before someone complains their 5 year old TV won’t get This update?

How about they bring them to their 8 series OLEDs that they are still selling...

Vizio went as far as 2016, and sells 300$ TVs.
I expect my LG C7 that I paid over 2K to be supported as least as long as 300$ TVs...

Yeah, sounds quite cheap of them not adding it to a bit older models as well but I would guess they have difficulties getting ppl to upgrade since eg their oled panels have been so good last years already.

We have LG 2017 OLED modell and can’t find any big diff on newer modell compelling enough to upgrade already. An ATV4K with that makes me avoid its built in software already anyway.

I have the 65" C7 I bought in July 2017 and I am very happy with it. No burn in or IR at all.

I the only advantage of the C8 over the B8 is the speakers.

That not true, the C8 has a better processor.

I love the picture quality :)

I have a decent sound bar. I saw somewhere that the C8 might be a little brighter, but I didn't know if that made a difference in real world conditions. Our living room can get pretty bright, but as I just commented in the Hunter Douglas HomeKit thread, maybe I'll finally be getting some new shades for the back of the house where the sun comes in. Thanks for your input!

C8 has a better processor. I’ve never experienced some lag.

How are you guys liking your LG OLEDs? I'm on the fence about buying one right now. There is a pretty crazy sale at NewEgg where I can get an LG C8 65" for $1899 or a B8 for $1699. Do you guys have retention or burn-in issues? Is the C8 worth the extra $200? I currently have a 42" LG LCD 1080p from 2009, lol. Thanks.

That’s funny, I also had a 42” LG LCD from 1080P from 2009. It ended with a big bang because a capacitor exploded. But I was still very happy with the picture quality for it broke. I personally preferred it above new Samsung models bought by friends. Those colors on a Samsung are too saturated and don’t come natural for me.

Now I’m having the LG OLED65C8PLA and love it. It has a very fast processor and doesn’t have any lag. I even got rid of my Apple TV because I love webos 4 even more. Hope they’ll support airplay and HomeKit with a future update but don’t really miss it.

LG is just advertising to its buyers that they won’t support their TVs for very long — even brand new TVs still on the market!!. This does absolutely nothing for them. People who just bought a new LG tv aren’t going to buy another one just for AirPlay. All this tells them is that LG screws its customers. Terrible decision.

For people like myself who own a 3 year old LG TV and are due for a purchase in a year or two, we’ve been warned: buy Vizio or Samsung. Thanks for the heads up LG!
