BRIGHTEST TV SCREEN!! Need some calibration for the picture for its full potential.

8K television, LG is top notch. Beautiful picture quality.Great price. Love WEBOS!

The TV is what you'd expect from a premium LG TV. It's got the latest OS with all the latest standards. 8K looks stunning even if just viewing it on YouTube. The real issue I found is that the IPS panel used in this has extremely distracting IPS glow from most angles off center. It's most noticeable in dark scenes where blooming is present and makes the IPS glow worse. I think the backlight tunning could have been refined a bit more (hopefully it gets patched?) since the glow is quite bad in dark scenes even compared to other TVs. Might be a limitation of IPS as a panel in such a size. Regardless, for the price, it's hard to argue that it isn't a great value TV. So it's clear, all my gripes are in HDR, but SDR looks incredible with zero issues.

This TV is a mixed bag, with pro and con. The con: Very bad blooming. Turn on local dimming and dark scenes look very bad ghosting around lit areas. Turn off local dimming and the blacks are super bright grey. The HDMI is only 2.1 not great for 8K. The ethernet port is not 2.5G so again not great for 8K. The UI settings just don't give enough controls to correct the picture fully. It's a bit pricy for having these negatives. Now the Pro: Dolby Vision is great. You can stream over 5G, best for 8K streaming. Most of the common apps are built in, but I've seen them studder and not stream as smooth as an HDMI box. The best thing about the TV is the 8K upscaling AI. Good source material can look amazing, bright scenes not the dim with dimming issues.

The TV has a great sound and picture with factory settings. It's also great that LG now includes 5 years of software updates on their WebOS program. The Geek Squad did an excellent job setting it up!
