unfortunately 99% of the people living on earth have been very disappointed with the TV...
why ? price ! it is way too expensive and in many countries the 48" costs more than the 55" !
INSANE !

There is a reason for this. To keep it short, it's to do with the way the 49" screen is manufactured. They get as many 49" sheets as they do 77"sheets from the same single panel. Unless that changes, which is unlikely, it will always be expensive, maybe even always more expensive than the 55".I was going to purchase the 48" but it was cheaper to grab the 55". I think it will need some more time for the 48" to get more mainstream.

No. This is exactly what is happening. Just Google it for a full explanation of the manufacturing process.I think this is the excuse for the time being, I reckon its more to do with the fact the only retailer selling this currently is Currys. John Lewis, Richer Sounds etc. will all get hold of the model in 2 weeks time roughly, and then we should see some competition going into Black Friday.
You never know If they can't sell enough of them then maybe. Not a nice thing to wish for but at the moment that's the only way prices will drop by a decent amount.@Coulson yes i read about that...still in maybe a year it will drop in price...maybe

I was going to link to this video, but I've changed my stance on linking to other reviewers inside a review thread. But it's done now and it is useful so...It does seem crazy on the face of it but there are reasons why the 48" OLED's seem overpriced and, in the case of the CX, is more expensive than the 55" model currently. This video explains it well.
I would hope they have read the review that clearly states that Freeview Play is missing and that some apps are not here. Many other TVs have apps missing that are available on other TVs, it's one of those things that varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and the platforms they use. Freeview Play missing is an issue between LG and Freeview Play, but LG has said they will try and add the missing apps by agreeing on terms with those channels separately. BBC iPlayer is now available. The overall score is for much more than some apps, but I am very clear that they are missing in the review text. The CX is still a 9/10 for the vast majority of its performance.I would suggest those people would be pretty miffed to find the score of 9 out of 10 ignored the fact that a basic feature found on most sets for 25% of the price was absent.

Looking forward to other retailers getting hold of the non specific Currys exclusive model so we get some competition on pricing, waiting patiently to pull the trigger on one of these to pair with my gaming PC!
All4 is still a bit of a killer. There's so much content on there.It was BBCiplayer that most were really missing anyway, and now the LG has it, in time LG may acquire the other's like ITVplayer, C4/C5 players, personally could not care less about them though.
Don't know what the rules are, just my personal thought processThe link has now been removed anyway. Didn’t mean to break any forum rules.
I thought Amazon Prime has some HDR10+ content, if not, where are HDR10+ content for steaming?HDR10+ is almost dead. Most of the popular films especially catalog have Dolby Vision. Most streaming providers are offering DV and its already an integral part of their production pipeline. Also next gen gaming consoles have announced support for Dolby Vision. I really don't see it as a negative unless its a checkbox exercise.
I do have a Panny GZ OLED that supports HDR10+ but I haven't watched a single content with HDR10+.
Is the Iplayer showing content in 720P?It was BBCiplayer that most were really missing anyway, and now the LG has it, in time LG may acquire the other's like ITVplayer, C4/C5 players, personally could not care less about them though.
