LDM Vol 25 Issue 13 Roundup

LG‘s first 2018 OLED TVs started to appear on Amazon, with the 55″ C8 OLED showing up with pricing of $2,500 (below the LG expected price of $2,999), but had disappeared by the time that we took a look to confirm it! However, pricing on 2017 models is down again with the 2017 model down to $1,696 and the 65″ down to $2,596.

Analyst Comment
