An industry-best panel plagued by LG firmware
Simply put, the panel in this TV is one of the best on the consumer market right now, but if you're reading this, you probably already know that. The GX models are exactly the same as the CX internally, with the main difference being the physical exterior. These GX displays are very thin and designed to fit flush against a wall. We purchased the 65 inch model (and also the matching LG GX Soundbar, reviewed separately). The aesthetics of this TV once wall-mounted are stunning (see pictures). Of note, is if you don't want to wall mount it, you need to purchase the legs separately (which I believe also contains the back panels for the cable management compartments, not included in the main TV box). Even though the TV is thin, it's very heavy and requires two strong people to safely wall mount. The proprietary wall mount is also rather confusing to install. If you're installing into drywall with studs, know that the mount is made for 16 inch studs, with almost no adjustment for deviation, so if you're trying to center it somewhere, take that into account. The cable management in the back is also not great. If the TV would have included the cable comparment covers for the back panel, it'd be much less frustrating. If you have 4 thick HDMI cables, it becomes challenging to run the cables in such a way that the TV still sits flush on the wall. None of that is my reason for knocking a star off, though. LG's firmware issues they had with last year's models have continued into this year's. Specifically, as you can find with some Google searches, there is a whole host of problems with getting G-Sync to work correctly when hooked up to a PC at 4k 120hz (using an RTX card), and requires a LOT of configuration and tweaking both on the TV and GPU driver (it definitely doesn't "just work"). I've also experienced a lot of inconsistencies using this TV's eARC implementation with the matching GX soundbar, where input changes can cause audio to drop completely, requiring a full power cycle. Speaking of eARC, this is my main reason for knocking off the star: the X models do not support DTS decoding in ANY capacity, INCLUDING ARC/eARC passthrough. Which renders the benefits of eARC (mostly multichannel 5.1+ sound) void for a very big use-case for those of us with a large media collection (ahem, if you're a Nolan movie fan, better find alternative audio streams or a blu ray player that can decode/transcode the DTS stream for the GX!). Our particular OLED panel did come with a decent amount of vertical banding in the 5-20% greyscale range. However, it has improved over time, with it now only being apparent up to about the 10-15% range. This isn't necessarily a negative, as all OLED panels of this physical size suffer from some kind of vertical banding visible in certain greyscale ranges. Also worth noting is to not necessarily fall for the Dolby Vision marketing. This panel is nowhere near capable of producing the 12 bit color depth to even worry about it -- it's all marketing. As for the positives: the picture on this thing with 4k HDR content is truly breathtaking. Even more so once you get it working with some games beyond 60fps into the 120 range. The perfect contrast on this thing completely makes up for (and exceeds) any color depth shortcomings with competing Samsung models. The actual experience of watching content on this screen simply can't be beat - this is the pinnacle of normal consumer TVs right now. The gallery app that displays art is a very nice touch. It would be nice to see more customization options with it though. All other apps and smart TV functionality works incredibly smooth. Another surprising positive is the quality of the internal speakers. For a TV this thin, they have a lot of depth in sound. External speakers will of course be better, but I was not expecting the GX model speakers to be this good out-of-the-box. Overall, one of the best TVs your money can buy right now. For me, however, the peculiarities with LG's firmware, G-Sync and eARC issues, and complete lack of DTS passthrough, significantly takes away from what is otherwise a perfect consumer TV for the aesthetically-conscious.

Well worth it!
Amazing picture quality! The LG - 65" Class GX Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV is a beautiful product and well worth the price. If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide between the BX, CX, or GX model, stop waiting. The GX is worth the extra price point and you will not be disappointed. The TV is super thin and comes with it's own wall mount that allows the TV to sit flush with the wall as long as your outlet is not in the way. The functionality of the LG Smart webOS provides access to all the popular streaming services and the setup user friendly and easy to follow. I was also concerned about the size, wondering if I could get the 77", but by using the measuring guide offered by Best Buy, we made the right decision. I highly recommend this model and size. When not watching amazing content that looks way to real, we enjoy the picture gallery function as well. Again, it is well worth it!

Great TV. Fantastic clear accurate picture
Wow. That's what I can say. I mounted it above my fireplace replacing a 65 inch LG Nano which also has a superb picture, but not OLED quality. Was worried about the burn in, but the TV automatically switches to a screensaver on its own. Fantastic picture and decent audio considering it so thin. Love the way its sits on the included wall mount bracket and lays right on the wall. Sick! Nice job LG. I was a huge Samsung fan, but started switching over to LG with the previous 65" Nano purchase. Also, thanks Best buy for the no hassle and careful delivery during the Pandemic.

An awesome addition
This is my first foray into OLED and I am just plain blown away. I primarily purchased this for my man cave to watch movies and play my Xbox one x on. I also chose this TV for the series x when that comes out later this year. The included wall mount is genius, engineered perfectly. I was able to mount, hang, and run the cables all by myself but probably would not recommend doing that. Even though the TV is only 68ish pounds it's not light by any stretch. The cable management on this TV is brilliant. It has little connectors on the back with grooves for each individual cable and little caps that keep them from coming out. I've never seen that on a TV before. Picture quality is mind bogglingly amazing. Images are smooth with little to no drag like on lcd. The set has a metric crap ton of features which I haven't even passed the tip of the iceberg yet. I've connected it to some of my smart lights and switches but wish it would connect to my lifx light strips or nanoleaf panels. Maybe it does I just haven't figured it out yet. I would highly recommend this television if you have the capacity to purchase it and not get a divorce over it.

Amazing picture
I have 3 Samsung QLED TV’s and this LG is amazing. I was worried about an OLED because I have a bright room. This LG does fantastic even in a bright room, the color and clarity are amazing. I had it calibrated by Jason and I cannot believe how good it looks. It’s even better picture that Samsung’s 9000T 8K and the LG is thousands less. Very happy with my purchase!!
