This 65C1 LG OLED weights 32.5kg with stand and no packaging see under product specs near the bottom of the page:Is it the sets that are lighter, or is the packaging being reduced and slimmed down to minimise shipping costs? Or both, perhaps?
We bought a 2021 model earlier this year and I was surprised how skimpy the packaging was. But the screen is almost just sheet glass/plastic now. The days when there was decent ‘frame’ to grasp have long since gone.
I bet it was. Carrying my 75-inch QLED with another person is a nightmare!I guess as screen sizes get bigger, the sets become harder to handle - so reducing weight should help. I'd guess that they also become more prone to breaking. Manhandling ours into place was awkward with two people.
Makes sense. Our 55”LG recommended two people to lift, but that’s more for stability than sheer mass I think. I managed 34Kg speakers on my own, but you can’t ‘walk’ a TV set across the floor I guess!I guess as screen sizes get bigger, the sets become harder to handle - so reducing weight should help.

Our set is not quite symmetrically-placed on the stand - I'm amazed I've let that one slide...Makes sense. Our 55”LG recommended two people to lift, but that’s more for stability than sheer mass I think. I managed 34Kg speakers on my own, but you can’t ‘walk’ a TV set across the floor I guess!
Hmmm..that would bug me....🙂Our set is not quite symmetrically-placed on the stand - I'm amazed I've let that one slide...
