Difference of a few pennies really in real world. This is the bigger picture:



LG OLED TVs are officially eco-friendly. When compared with LED TVs, they're safer because they don't use backlights, they're made with less plastic, use fewer hazardous materials, and have a lower risk of producing indoor air pollutants.

So why are these new models rated in the bottom band of G when the former models are usually rated A or B?

It will need to be effing amazing to beat their models from last two years. Meanwhile, we are still happy with one from 2012!

I thought it was a bit strange to suddenly be rated so low on the energy efficiency charts!
Thought it might be due to new LG EVO technology meaning higher peak brightness and therefore power consumption.

Just click the red G on any of the Samsung models here, for details of the rating:
