This is my first experience with OLED, and it still shocks me sometimes how lifelike it is. Motion is so fluid and blacks are perfect, even when surrounded by light colors. My previous screen had a dense LED backlight array and it still can not compare. Watching it in a dark room is ideal, but it still looks good in normal room lighting. If needed, the picture can be calibrated for a brightly lit environment.

In terms of build quality, it is good so far. The top part is just a thin piece of glass, which is really cool to see with the perfect viewing angles, but the bottom is chunkier. The stand does look a bit cheap. For most people that are wall mounting, know that the mounting part is on the bottom. If you are replacing a traditional TV, this one will likely sit too high and the wall mount will have to be moved down. We had to figure that out.

This is our first LG TV, so it was another operating system to learn. The WiFi signal is strong and it has the standard apps. For whatever reason, we had to delete the Disney+ app and reinstall it before a show would start streaming properly. If you find the motion controls annoying, they can be bypassed by using the arrow keys and scroll wheel. Overall, a bit clunky, but navigation is fast.

In terms of picture quality modes, they are pretty interesting. Similar to the Nintendo Switch OLED, there are times when vivid settings that would be garish on a normal screen are ideal. They can “fix” shows that look overly dark on any screen and actually do a great job. HDR content looks startlingly lifelike, showing detail that was completely missing on our LED array TV. One area the software is pretty bad at is motion interpolation. If you decide to use it, it often leaves artifact trails behind moving objects on solid backgrounds. I’ve seen much better, and it is a feature perfectly suited to OLED.

Overall, an incredible television that has spoiled me. I highly recommend it, even if there is room for improvement.
