LG ships 2017 TVs early this year, prices OLED and Super UHD TV lineup

LG’s OLED TVs have been a standout at CES for years now and last month was no different. This time, however, the Super UHD TVs the company showed were nearly as impressive and while OLED prices continue to drop, the Super UHD models are still even more affordable. No matter which of the two you might have your eye on, you won’t have long to wait. On Thursday LG announced pricing and availability for its 2017 OLED and Super UHD lineups.

The star of LG’s OLED lineup in January was its $8,000, 65-inch Signature W7 model, also known as the Wallpaper TV due to its incredibly slim design. At the time, LG said that it was aiming to release the TV toward the end of March. That wasn’t the case, as in a surprising move, the TV will be available in February, and with only a few days left, that means it should be available very soon.

The 55-inch C7 OLED TV will also be available in February for a retail price of $3,500. Most of the rest of LG’s OLED lineup will ship in March, with the 65-inch G7 selling for $7,000, the 65-inch E7 for $6,000, and the 65-inch version of the C7 coming in at $5,000. The 55-inch version of the E7, will be available in May for $4,500.

Three models in LG’s Super UHD lineup will be available in February, with the 75-inch SJ8570 selling for $3,700, the 65-inch SJ8500 for $2,800, and the 55-inch SJ8500 priced at $2,000. Two more models will be available in March, with the massive 86-inch SJ9570 selling for the same price as the Signature W7 at $8,000, and the 65-inch SJ9500 priced at $4,000.

All of the TVs across both lineups feature 4K Ultra HD resolution and support every type of High Dynamic Range (HDR) available, for better contrast, ultra-dark blacks, and vivid color. Dolby Vision and HDR10 are supported, as well as the currently less well-known HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma). Don’t let the lack of HDR content currently available scare you off either, as LG’s HDR Effect feature processes standard dynamic range content to enhance brightness and contrast ratios.

Both the OLED and Super UHD lineups can be found at retailers nationwide once they are available. For more information, check your local retailer or visit the LG website.

New Philips OLED Roku TV challenges LG’s OLED dominance
Philips OLED Roku TV.

Fans of Roku and OLED TVs have a new option. Roku has partnered with Philips to bring the first Philips 4K OLED TV to the U.S. The 65-inch Philips OLED Roku TV (formally known as the 65OLED974/F7)  is currently a Sam's Club exclusive, where it's been priced at $1,300 -- roughly the same price as the 65-inch LG B4 OLED TV. Part of the Sam's Club exclusive is a three-year warranty, a nice bonus as most new TV warranties are just one year.

In addition to all of the streaming benefits that come with Roku OS, including a voice-capable remote control, the Philips OLED Roku TV has a three-sided borderless display with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) and a native 120Hz refresh rate. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG HDR TV formats and it can sense and adapt to ambient lighting conditions thanks to Dolby Vision IQ.

LG’s 2025 OLED TVs continue to get even better, but without MLA
The LG G5 and C5 OLED TVs in LG's CES 2025 suite.

While LG is going all-in this year at CES 2025 on a revamp and expansion of its QNED TV line, we can't forget what LG is known for -- amazing OLED TVs that deliver top-notch performance every year. On the surface, the 2025 OLED TV line looks to continue that trend, with some nice added improvements to light output and some added OLED evo features that should excite gamers.

Although the most interesting news about the OLED line is more about what isn't included. There are no MLA (Micro Lens Array) OLED panels this year on any model series. Let me say that again: The brightness-improving MLA technology LG introduced with the LG G3 is absent from all of the 2025 OLED TV models.

The LG OLED T hits the U.S. and can be yours — for $60,000
The LG Signature OLED T, with its contrast screen not quite halfway unfurled.

It was a wow moment when we all saw the transparent LG Signature OLED T in a suite at CES 2024, and then the following day as it was rolled on to the stage during LG's press conference. Now you can wake up to that wonder every morning, as the OLED T is now available from select retailers including Best Buy, Video & Audio Center, and LG.com -- for a cool $60,000.

Sure, at that price it isn't something most of us will ever have in our home, but that doesn't take away from how stunning and technologically innovative the OLED T is. In transparent mode, the 77-inch TV can be an Always-On-Display -- a feature LG calls T-Objet -- and act as a transparent digital canvas to show artwork or photos. The effect makes it look as though what's on screen is floating in air.
