LG - 55" Class GX Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV

Let me start out by saying that I don’t spend this kind of money on electronics, I normally feel the lower end will suffice for me or whatever most expensive TV I’ve bought is around $500…this tv I got open box for $1250 then got the 5 year warranty, this time I wanted 120hz to take full advantage of the series X and when I went to the store, the quality disparity on the sub $1000 but still $800+ 120hz 4K LED TVs compared to the OLEDs was shocking. The only panel that even looked remotely decent next to the OLED was the Sony X90J but was still $1299, Samsung LEDs just looked pixelated in a way you couldn’t find with oleds and Samsung had some models MORE expensive than I bought this for… Picture quality is amazing been playing Valhalla , we watched Luca (amazing) and all the modes just switch seamlessly. Goes to game when you’re gaming, switches to a content oriented mode when on any app playing videos . The AI features are also … awesome? Surprisingly like the audio enhancer, our old TV wasn’t against a wall neither is this one but the difference in sound produced is literally amazing… I can hear anywhere in my viewing distance perfectly below 30 volume , my old tv I’d have trouble hearing maxed out. (2017 43” 7000 series Samsung 4K) All in all if you plan to have a TV over 5 years and already going to spend $900-$1300+ & need to secure 120hz , just get an oled , there’s no point in spending that much to not get the best experience for your money. This and the CX are only $1500 rn new and open box is even better. Only quarrel I did specifically ask the guy to ensure I got a TV with a stand but luckily in my living room our entertainment center sits along an open stud and made it easy to mount, I’d just never done it myself before but it was quite easy. Some people are saying they didn’t like the stand but I loved it, nice and easy and it was literally my first time ever hanging one. Ended up working out anyways and I’m glad I got one that hangs & I also now know what GALLERY means!

I don't often give a 5 star review because I subscribe to the belief that perfection doesn't exist, and while this TV is not "perfect" it's as close as you can get. It's the best looking TV I've ever seen, the included wall mount was done extremely well, and I am thoroughly pleased with it in every regard. I was actually looking at getting the 48" CX or C1 when a friend showed me the G1 OLEDs, and while I normally want to buy the latest model to not start out already outdated on whatever tech it is I am buying, I couldn't quite bring myself to pay that much for a TV. I then saw that the GX OLEDs were on clearance and that I could get the same flush mount gallery OLED as the G1 with barely older tech in it for the same price as the 48" CX, and I was super intrigued. After I did a quick check at rtings and saw that they rate the GX almost identically to the CX, and knowing the C1 was barely an upgrade the decision was easy. I don't normally spend this much on TVs, in fact I've never spent over a grand on one, I have wanted an OLED for a while and decided my next TV would be one and as for the price, whatever. It is what it is you can always make more money. This TV is worth every cent. It looks outstanding when mounted. The picture quality will blow you away, if you've not seen OLED in person brace yourself. The included wall mount I was slightly hesitant about, but was pleasantly surprised to see how well it was done. I would rate it as good as the best Vesa mounts I've used if not better, and very easy to install for the most part. It sits kind of high on the back of the TV and not dead center, so measuring to make it fit perfectly was slightly interesting but in the end no problem. The only thing I would say to be careful on is the weight. A TV this thin you might think it would be light like other TVs out there but it is quite heavy. It was probably nearing the limit of what you should hang on your own if you're the type to do your own work like I am. If you have some help there's no issue.

Incredible TV. The perfectly flush design is truly stunning and the clean esthetic is such a step above traditionally mounted TVs. As always, LG OLED shines in terms of image quality. Once you go OLED, you can't go back to anything else as the deep blacks and vibrant colors are such a step above traditional LED panels. Make sure to plan ahead in terms of the install. I needed to install a recessed box into my wall to hide some components to get the TV to sit perfectly flush with the wall. Make sure to look online for a recessed box without flange because most boxes have a thick edge that would prevent the TV from sitting flush. If you take the time to properly install this as it was meant to be installed, it is a truly amazing TV and I cannot recommend it enough. If you dont want to go to the effort to mount it perfectly flush, I would recommend the less expensive C1 OLED model as the main drawn here is the gallery wall mounting. Highly recommend!

This is my first OLED, and by far the best TV I ever owned. Love that it has 4 HDMI 2.1! Love that it has included flush mount! Love that you can pair Bluetooth speakers for a full surround sound experience! Picture quality/VRR and 1ms gaming response time make this TV a great pair with the Xbox Series X!

WOW! Seriously, W-O-W! Let me explain. [ENTERTAINMENT USE] I am a bit of a TV enthusiasts, if you will. I am extremely picky, yet not a brand snob. I have owned LG (pre-OLED), Sony, Samsung, Vizio, etc. I currently have Samsung Q80R QLED, Q70, and Q60 throughout the house. I decided to try this TV for my office (since thats where I work and game). QLED was impressive when I purchased it, now I cannot even look at it. I think it will be making it’s way out the door in favor of the 77” version of this guy. I originally wanted the CX, but due to stock issues couldn’t land one. When I went to check for the CX, there were no OLED’s in stock in a 250mi radius. The rep said let me check just for giggles. He said, I can’t believe it, we have ONE. It’s OLED and 55” like you want -only difference is model. It was more expensive, but, I got upgraded internals and a few other bells and whistles. After mounting it, hooking up the Series X and PS5, and cranking it for the first time.... ZOMG.... STUNNING. I just wanted to throw all kinds of content at it, just to see it in action. You will NOT be disappointed. [END HERE IF YOU ARE NOT A GAMER] [GAMING] I have been playing on a monitor since 2013. TV tech then wasn’t what it is today. I had such an advantage using 1-5ms monitors, albeit capped at 60Hz. Anytime I tried playing a shooter on a TV during this time, I would get wrecked. It didn’t feel natural. Fast forward - I am in awe. This is like playing on a 27” monitor in terms of response/refresh. If you have a next gen system this is the TV you want. It packs HDMI 2.1, 4K @ 120Hz, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, G-Sync (FreeSync coming in an update this year), and many more! It feels buttery smooth when I play on it. I have zero issues on FPS online now. I enjoy gaming on this beast and being able to relax after work and not stare at monitors when I don’t have to. Being in IT and working from home, I needed some separation of the two. Bottom line: no matter what your use case is, you will NOT be disappointed!

Just got my new TV delivered and installed by Best Buy. I’m completely floored by the picture quality. The flush mount on the wall is so nice and streamlined. I couldn’t be happier! This is my 2nd LG OLED TV purchase and I cannot recommend this television enough.

Still slightly more than I wanted to spend, but my 15 year old plasma was as sharp as it use to be for movies and games. I could see the picture quality improve right away when I started the PS4. I did my research between QLED and OLED and could see the difference between the same streaming on the LG vs the Samsung in another room. (Both the same size and price range). The bloatware is mildly annoying and will have to walk thru LG's FAQ's for how to disable/remove it. I was strongly urged to get a soundbar since the TV is so thin, the speakers are token add-ins. Upon setting the TV up, I was getting decent sound, but it's on an entertainment stand away from a wall. If this was flush mounted, I could definitely understand the need for a soundbar. I got one anyway. The small IR sensor for the remote at the bottom of the TV makes mounting soundbar flush mounting impossible: you need a 1/2" gap between them. Old plasma TV put off a lot of heat. I can tell this one is using considerably less energy

The LG GX 55 ‘inch has been on my radar for awhile. Wanted the best OLED 4K tv to take advantage of everything possible for my new Xbox Series X console. This tv comes with a flush wall mount to the wall. I used my existing wall mount until I move in a year. Every HDMI port I like 99% of tv’s is 4K 2.1 120hz ports. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, 4K, variable refresh rate, & many more. I’m upgrading from a Sony A1E OLED 4K 55 ‘inch that in less than 2 and a half years got burn ins. Unfortunately with OLED tv’s you have to babysit them and make sure you’re not watching channels with stilled images that don’t move such as cable news channels & sports. I didn’t have Geek Squad protection on it so I have it to a relative. I cannot recommend enough to purchase a plan with Best Buy. They cover burn ins. No one else does. I purchased a 5 year plan with Best Buy. Certainly gives me peace of mind. The Series X performance on this LG GX is incredible!
