Customers recognize the excellent picture quality and impressive black levels of the 65" Class B4 Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2024). Many also appreciate its reasonable price, adequate brightness, ease of use, and refresh rate, making it suitable for gaming. However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the remote control.
If you connect this thing to the internet and use it's smart stuff, it's a 3 star. However, if you don't agree to any of the terms of service (or just uncheck them if you already have), turn off its wifi, connect an external streamer like an Apple TV or Roku stick, turn off all its AI picture stuff (the AI sound stuff is fine), and switch to filmaker, cinema, or isf mode, it becomes a solid 5 star. When a smart TV, this thing's processor simply cannot perform, so everything feels slow and sloppy, including the picture (importantly). Ads are everywhere. That is why you lobotomize this thing so its processor can focus on what this thing absolutely excels at: picture quality, and for an unbeatable price (as far as I can tell) when it goes on sale for less than $1000 (got mine at $800). Upon becoming a dumb tv and connecting an external streamer to do the smart stuff (a good one like an Apple TV), this thing becomes a beast. I could list all the best settings, but just watch this video on youtube: HDTVTest LG OLED TV Settings. I upgraded form an old cheap LCD display, and this thing's picture is so good that I've gone back and watched movies I've seen and been in awe of how good it looks. After taking a little time to learn the settings, it looks better than the $5000 TV at your rich friend's house who likes vivid mode or left it in standard mode. The brightness is honestly perfectly adequate. HDR dark scenes get dark because they're supposed to and should on even the most expensive TVs. Bright scenes won't blind you: you gotta spend more for that, but I'm ok not being blinded. The TV speakers are meh, but that's all TV speakers: if you're spending over $500 on a TV, spend a little on a halfway decent soundbar or even better: actual speakers. If you want great sound for cheap, check out the Neumi BS5P.

This is my first OLED TV and it hasn’t disappointed. The TV is used in our bedroom as i was worried it wouldnt work in our living room with the amount of windows and sunlight. Picture is definitely bright enough in HDR and SDR content. I do feel like Dolby Vision is a little on the dark side in some movie scenes. Although its bright enough in our bedroom. I dont game, so I cant speak to that part of the TVs functionality. Has a good amount of settings to adjust picture and the remote is “OK” as it isnt back lit amd i could personally do without the mouse cursor function which you can’t disable? From a VALUE standpoint you can’t go wrong with this TV. I cant wait to get the C4 or G4 for my living room as the sports in HDR looks phenomenal on this TV.

Upgraded from a 7 year old Vizio and this thing blows it away. I hesitated going for a full out OLED but I can 100% recommend. The blacks are great looking on the panel and no longer have the pixelation that the Vizio had. Looks great even next to our window in the day.
