I am in the market for a new TV and one of my top options is the new 83" LG C1 OLED TV.
After looking into pricing I was disgusted by what I found. It is currently listed at R219,999 with a "special discount" of R199,999 (see here).
For comparison, here are the list prices for the same TV in three other countries with their equivalent ZAR prices (sourced from here)
USA: $5,999 - R86,000
UK: ?6,999 - R138,000
AUS: AU$12,599 - R133,000
For comparison, the flagship 75" Samsung Neo QLED QN900A TV is listed at ?5,999 in the UK (R118,000) is listed for R129,999 locally (see here).
This is nothing other than daylight robbery and I am really disappointed in LG exploiting its customers like this. This may be the most expensive 83" LG C1 OLED TV in world! What are they thinking?
