About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Coming down in price again, few retailers selling £20 cheaper on Amazon, but will be a maximum of 5 year warranty if that? as doesn't actually state it in description. But at least you know what you're getting before purchasing at Richer Sounds
Evo - enhanced
LG’s Evo panel maximised OLED’s already impressive picture performance. Brighter and clearer than ever, Evo is a big step up. Now, even Evo has just got better. With this LG 55 inch TV, you get new heat dissipation technology, which makes the picture even brighter than the original Evo screen. For lifelike, brilliant images, the LG OLED55G26LA is simply the best of the best.
Made for the wall – Gallery design
No deeper than a typical heating controller, this slimline, ‘Gallery’ design TV takes pride of place in your room, without dominating it. The latest G-series OLED TVs have a slimmer bezel for even sleeker style. The supplied wall bracket mounts the TV flush to the wall, giving this TV a stunning appearance. (Please note, stand not included but LG ST-G26ST55 stand is available as an additional cost option).
Alpha 9 Gen 5 processing for improved sound and vision
Now in its fifth generation, LG’s mighty Alpha 9 processor optimises sound and vision for spectacular results. Using AI technology, the picture and sound are optimised to best suit the genre – be it movies, sport, gaming or regular TV. With enhancements to picture tone-mapping, background enhancement and upscaling, picture processing is more advanced than ever. Virtual sound channel up-mixing increases from 5.1.2 to 7.1.2, giving an even more enveloping sound on the LG OLED55G26LA.
AI Picture /Sound Pro for professional sound and vision
Using a huge database of over one million visual date points, AI Picture Pro uses deep-learning algorithms to recognise content, remove noise and optimise the picture. AI Sound Pro leans from more than 17 million audio data points, identifying voices, effects and frequencies. From here, it optimises the sound by genre, giving a more natural sound quality.
Ultimate detail - Dolby Vision IQ
For ultimate detail, in all environments, this LG OLED features Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit.
See the picture exactly as originally intended, with Filmmaker Mode
If you’re mad about movies, you’ll love Filmmaker Mode. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and Hollywood studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.
Made for gaming – with Game Optimiser and more
The improved Game Optimiser utilises an enhanced gaming menu, giving you quick access to important settings. There are now five game genre presets, including a new one for sports games. Equipped with 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 sockets, this LG TV is designed to get the very best from today’s, and future, games consoles. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) mean that your TV automatically adjusts to the optimised settings for gaming – giving you a smoother and faster response.
4.2 multi-speaker system, AI Sound Pro and Dolby Atmos compatible sound
Featuring an enhanced, 4.2 speaker system, the OLED55G26LA offers more impressive sound than lower models. Power is also up 50% to 60 watts – giving a richer, room-filling sound. Using AI algorithms, AI Sound Pro up-mixes two-channel audio to virtual 7.1.2 sound – producing a much more immersive sound and enhanced dialogue. With a Dolby Atmos processor built-in, this LG 55” TV decodes Atmos sound tracks - giving you the potential for even more enveloping audio.

sorted by20-30% brighter for a start as it has a heatsink. Only downside is if your not wall mounting you will have to buy a vesa stand. (edited)
Also... If you wait for the deepest discounts, you may have issues actually finding one in stock!
1200 for a 55" flagship oled is a good deal imho.
Also, do i understand correctly it doesn't come with a stand??
Both are excellent, but the G2 is newer.
Have a look on Rtings and assess the differences. See what suits your situation better. (edited)
Can anyone recommend a good TV stand that can be used?
The G2 is a much better picture (and the E8 was great), but the biggest improvement has been the sound. The G2 sound is far superior.
Why I bought G1 again cheaper C1 or else because this TV is so slim and plus it is all in "metal" case
For me it is 2 big reason why i will be buy G2 again C2
1 The OLED panel in protected case " I personally do not like idea that glass 8mm sticking out of C1 etc and to break this glass it is so easy just need harder push and it will break
So when you have kids you need to think about everything
2 Slim factor on the wall The TV just 2 cm from wall etc where C1 i think around 6 cm or more
3 The TV wall brackets is is the package do not need to buy so minus £20-30 or more
If someone thinking C2 or G2 my choise G2 without thinking (edited)
Interestingly AO show a number of the C2 models now on clearance. The code for B2 would allow £799 if it worked. No 5 year warranty.
This model offers some burn in warranty coverage via its LG 5 year panel warranty. I emailed LG to enquire specifically whether it covers burn in/image retention. They replied the following-:
I have taken a look into this for you and the way this warranty works is that the first year is the manufacturers warranty that covers everything except accidental damage. It covers all parts, labour, VAT, courier fees etc. so the repairs are free of charge, Once past the 12 months, this G series OLED then has 4 years of screen only warranty which covers the cost of the screen parts only, greatly discounting the cost of repairs but, you would still be quoted for labour, VAT etc. for this. This also does not cover accidental screen damage but, will cover a panel replacement for all panel defects including Image retention (screen burn).
I am hoping Costco will have C2 or G2 in at a decent price in the next month or two.
