Pricing, as shown in a press release sent to TechRadar, shows that the LG C2OLEDwill start off at $1,399 (around £1,060, AU$1,900) for the smallest 42-inch C2 OLED and rockets up to $24,999 (around £19,000, AU$34,800) if you’re after the monstrous 88-inch8KZ2 OLED.
In terms of release dates, LG’s spread them out quite a bit with most models arriving this month in March and a few slated for release in April and May.

Analysis: QD-OLED has its advantages… and a price markup
Without having seenSamsung’s QD-OLED TVfor ourselves yet (something we’re expecting will change in the next few weeks), it’s hard to say how it will stack up against LG’s current crop of OLED TVs.
That said, based on price alone, theSamsungQD-OLED will have to be significantly better to justify its higher price tag.
To wit, pricing information sent to TechRadar last week shows that the S95B OLED TV will cost $2,199.99 for the 55-inch version and $2,999.99 for the 65-inch model. Considering that the LG C2 OLED costs just $1,799 for the same size and uses LG’s OLED Evo technology, that $400 markup could be a big factor in determining which of the two models folks choose.
If you’re looking to save even more, though, the LG B2 OLED in a 55-inch is only $1,499 and while it doesn’t use LG OLED Evo technology for a 20% boost in brightness, it’s still using a native 120Hz panel with four HDMI 2.1 inputs.
For gamers especially, it’s going to be a tough year to pick out a new TV.
