Version: 77 inch
Seller: Amazon
Delivery by: NSD (more about this at the bottom)
Photo 1: 68″ width. Will need large tv stand to look “right”.
Photo 2: Mid-day reflection handling.
Photo 3: Inputs are on the left side of the set. Thin screen, but a wider portion holds the internals.

First, the product.

The picture is fantastic. Viewing high bit-rate content such as Blu-rays is amazing. Ultra HD (2160p) HDR content is flawless and Full HD (1080p) SDR content is handled well. I like the upscaling of my Nvidia Shield for 1080p-> 4K upscaling over the TV’s, but most individuals will find no issues. The ability to turn off pixels for true black allows for an amazing contrast of color and blacks.

This TV supports high frame rate video game consoles with up to 120 FPS and offers a variable refresh rate (VRR) for gaming that isn’t locked at a steady 120/60/30 FPS. VRR ensures that games that support it will appear smoother and free of the screen tearing that is normally associated with frame rates that don’t match the TV. For PS5 owners, this means games that support a 40 FPS mode can be fully enjoyed on this TV. For PC owners, your 60-120 FPS experience will be similar to a good monitor, plus the amazing features of a top-tier TV. Also, input latency while in game mode is untouchable by non-OLED displays.

The TV speakers sound fine for daytime TV programming, but I utilize the TV’s eARC feature to send audio to my sound system. This feature works fine and is only a menu toggle away. Unfortunately, I can’t speak on the audio performance beyond this.

The set handles reflections well, but that doesn’t mean they disappear. This brings me to my one issue with this set, which is an issue shared with most OLEDs. OLED does not get extremely bright. If you intend to use this set in a living room with many windows, I suggest black-out curtains for the best viewing. If you cannot control the light in your room, I recommend considering a high-end LED TV instead, as they can get much brighter than OLEDs.

As for the TV’s operating system, I find the remote’s “motion as a mouse pointer” a little annoying sometimes, but hardly worth docking stars. Very usable system. The TV handles streaming 4K content from YouTube, Disney, Plex, and other services without issue. The perk of a major brand is knowing popular apps will work without a problem. This remains the case with this set.

Lastly, I must discuss my delivery experience. A special freight delivery service is needed for a delivery item of this size. NSD handled fulfillment. My experience was abysmal.

Delivery must be scheduled. A signature is required for delivery, and the item will be placed inside your door (allegedly). NSD was a no-call and no-show on the day of delivery, and they did not reach out to reschedule. I attempted to call NSD for rescheduling three times, was hung up on twice by their system while waiting, and the third time resulted in being told that the local office would call to reschedule. After three more days of no contact, I had to contact chat support another three times over three days, asking to be contacted to reschedule. The second chat said NSD would escalate my delivery due to a no-call no-show. The third chat let me know that had not been done but assured me that they would. The sixth time is the charm. Delivery tracking showed the TV in town for an entire week before delivery was “attempted” and another week before the company finally called to deliver (no rescheduling of delivery, just delivery with only a few minutes warning). I live on a military installation, and the delivery team said they were not able to come onto the installation. This can be the result of several things: a lie, laziness, criminal history of one or both delivery members, or drugs/weapons in the delivery vehicle. As the company did not call to reschedule, I was out of town when they called me for delivery. Fortunately, I had a coworker I trusted to accept delivery off-base and hold the TV at his home until I was able to return.

As the delivery was not fulfilled by Amazon and the product itself is great, I am not deducting from my rating for this experience. However, let this be a horror story of delivery for potential buyers of the 77” version. If you have to buy online because you are rural like me, select NSD as an absolute last resort. A $2,400 purchase can be quite stressful when no one wants to talk to you about its delivery.

Should preface when I turned it on there was some texturing in the middle when all solid colors. This is somewhat normal. I did a pixel cleaning and it was 100% gone and haven’t noticed anything else. If this happens it’s alright it’s normal AND the panel does this cleaning automatically after being turned off. So you will notice if your screen has been on for a couple hours turning it off will not make the same click. It will then click off idk 20 minutes later with a little light at the bottom. Just wanted to preface with that knowledge as I feel I’m a bit more technologically inclined and was still a bit spooked by the texture. Now onto the actual tv. The panel looks perfect. HDR is really bright, colors pop, and blacks are perfect. Features include auto low latency mode meaning a pc or console connection instantly turns it to lowest latency. The input lag on this tv is lower than any panel I’ve ever used even a TN 144hz panel. Airplay 2 support means you can “cast” 1080p 60 hdr video with no loss of quality. I have to be honest even 720p video looks freaking awesome on this due to the super sampling. I personally also enjoy the interpolation this tv provides. Little to actually no artifacts with just fluid motion. Everything has worked correctly and consistently with this TV. This tv is perfect for gaming imo. Such low latency and VRR, GSync, and freesync all work correctly. No flickering, works all way down to 20hz, and even works correctly with my nividia gpu. Additionally this tv even supports Bluetooth if you want to not have the speakers going. The speakers though sound much better than I was expecting I have no desire to get any external equipment. They are very full and no mud even with super low or high frequencies. I’m not saying it’s better than a sound bar I’m just saying it’s definitely the best TV speakers I’ve ever heard. This review is a bit all round but honestly this tv is worth far more than the 1.3k I paid for the 55inch. When it came out it was high high 2k range. It has that level of quality and personally I wouldn’t even look at the c3 or g3 unless these are sold out. In short out of 100 I’d give it 100/100 this isn’t a rounding 5/5 it’s truly perfect and I have no complaints. Get it trust me you won’t be disappointed in the product.

The image experience is amazing. Screen is immersive with hardly any bezels and it fits on a standard mounting system. Plays well with other devices, PS5, Apple TV, etc. It’s candy to watch, 100% worth an upgrade from my previous system.
The intelligence is a double sided edge on this one. I wanted a TV, this is comes as a computer. The TV OS is garbage. Menus are hard to navigate. Features sorted and labeled strangely, beyond easy comprehension. Weird AI features with dodgy privacy agreements. When I am watching YouTube on AppleTV, the image format changes when an ad plays (and then back) which makes the TV black out for a second as it context switches (it’s a necessary evil, unfortunately, with the settings I have on).
It does accomplish some good – CES works wonderfully (it will switch to the relevant input automatically when I use the AppleTV remote or if I press the PS button on a controller), smart picture mode, auto context switching (virtue and vice as I mentioned). But most of it just bloat.
I have done everything in my power to bypass interacting with the native OS, which when invisible, makes this quite a nice TV. Set CES and picture settings up right and you’ll never have to deal with the ad-ladden home pages or weird tree menus LG stapled into the TV outside of a rainy day.

I have had this TV for a few months now and i use it as my main monitor.I have been extremely satisfied with it and can’t reccomend it enough.I use to mainly do stock analysis/code,gaming, and watch movies.It can do it all,colours are gorgeous,sharp and super sleep and elegant,If you’re used to a small 21 inch screen like i was, its a big jump,but if you have a deep enough desk,i’d reccomend you use it as a monitor for your computer if you want to have a screen for everything.Lg is high quality and continues to deliver.
