Description:
A price leak for the upcoming LG C2 OLED shows that the 42-inch and 48-inch sizes are exactly and inexplicably the same price.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It looks like theres bad news for anyone who thought they could save some money by buying a smaller OLED TV this year apparently both the 42-inch and 48-inch LG C2 OLED TV will be exactly the same price.

The price leak comes to us by way of the John Lewis website that lists both the LG OLED48C24LA and LG OLED42C24LA for 1,399 (roughly $1,900, AU$2,650).

It does appear that John Lewis will include a pair of LG TONE Free HBS-FN4 Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones with the smaller screen size but, considering
that you could buy them separately for 40 ($70, AU$125), its not much of a consolation prize.

LG has yet to announce the official pricing for the TVs, so take the listing with a grain of salt until we hear back from the company about how much the latest OLED will set us back. Analysis: Why are they the same price?

So typically, as youve probably seen for yourself when shopping for a new TV, larger TVs cost more and smaller TVs cost less. Well, thats how it is 99% of the time.

Whats going on here is a rare scenario in which the two sizes appear to be priced identically with each other, with no real reason as to why.

One potential reason that TechRadars sister site What Hi-Fi? came up with is that the new 42-inch screen sizes are in short supply since theyre newer. Another could be that LG is expecting the 42-inch screen size to be as
popular as the 48-inch size and doesnt want to lose out on any potential
gains that could be had from a cheaper product.

Ultimately, without any word from LG yet, were simply in the dark about it.

The good news in all of this? If you pre-order a screen from John Lewis, the website says that you could be getting the TV at your doorstep in as little
as three weeks. Considering that this is the first and only listing weve seen for the TV so far, it might not be such a bad idea to scoop up a 48-inch
while theyre still available.
