Several flaws undercutting what could be a good TV
|Posted .The good: This TV has exceptional color due to the OLED panel. Out of the box the settings are decent. With some calibration the picture is some of the best. Gaming is decent with 21ms lag, and you'll have a tough time finding a TV that looks this good with lower lag. The interpolated refresh rate is garbage like most televisions, but turning it off looks wonderful. The operating system is decent, but I tend to use my Nvidia Shield 95% of the time for smart features. TV shuts off when I've left it paused for too long, and has logo burn in reduction for either HUD elements in games, or other logos such as news tickers. The bad: This TV has inconsistent grays between 5%-25% gray. Specifically, in the top left corner of my TV the grays vary wildly to the point of being distracting and all I see. During most normal content this isn't an issue, but becomes a glaring problem in darker content like Supernatural, or Blue Planet's Deep Sea episode, or horror games like Alien Isolation or Resident Evil. This was annoying enough for me to exchange it for a new panel. I have not received the new panel and will update the review according to the quality of the next TV. Glare is a much bigger issue on this TV than most, and I ended up having to move a lamp in my living room in order to watch content without annoying glare. I don't get much sunlight during the day, but I imagine the performance would be poor if you have a window behind you. Burn in is always a constant worry, and it's an anxiety that doesn't go away. Having the protection plan alleviates some stress for the first five years, but once I'm on my own, the anxiety will certainly return. The upscaling chip on this TV is nowhere NEAR as good as the processing chips on the Sony TVs. Color gradation is blocky and nowhere near as precise. At a distance it's hardly noticable, but if you're in closer, perhaps for a gaming session, or walking neat the TV, this becomes increasingly apparent. The ugly: As of the writing of this review, it is the day before I am having the new panel arrive. As of tonight, a line of dead pixels that is 2 pixels wide, and 2160 pixels long has developed. Essentially, there is a column of dead pixels in the right quadrant of the TV. I have owned the TV for roughly three weeks to a month. Had I not already been returning this TV for a completely separate issue days prior, I would have had to have used my protection plan to get a new one. Granted, I may have gotten manufacturers support and a refund from LG, but in the course that LG refused, I would be out a $1000. $500 of the protection plan would be consumed for the new TV, and $500 to protect the new TV. This would have been painful and frustrating beyond belief. The conclusion: This TV is gorgeous, and if it fits your budget, there isn't really a whole lot better in it's class. It's pretty good for gaming which is a plus. There are color inaccuracies and quality issues with the panels that need to be addressed and change my ability to strongly recommend this, to recommend with extreme caution depending on the type of consumer and if they typically purchase protection/extended warranties on their devices. If I receive my new panel with better quality, expect my opinion and review to change, however, if the panel is worse, expect my opinions and review to reflect that as well. I should have an update soon. I hope this helps you make an informed purchasing decision.

OLED or nothing
|Posted .Let me start out by saying this, I am so glad I spent the money and bought an OLED tv. It is single handedly the best picture I have seen yet. The picture on the LG 65 C8 OLED is crisp, clear and the colors are brilliant. If you have the extra money available to spend I highly suggest you do. I could go on and on about what you’d like and how many features there are, etc... but I’ll skip that and tell you some of the cons. 1st - Content. Plain and simple. Content just isn’t there, considering cable and satellite companies don’t really broadcast in 1080p yet how long before they can in 4K. 2nd - 8k units are already coming out, with 8k units already being sold I can only see 1 or 2 things happening, a.) 8k fails miserably because it is too soon or b.) 4K is basically skipped over and phased out because 8k is the new standard. I have had an issue with streaming on this unit. It wouldn’t stream anything (Netflix, Amazon) in HD or above quality. The quality was so poor it was unwatchable. After some searching I found out if I put the unit on my 2.4 ghz WiFi rather than my 5ghz connection it worked fine. Go figure that one out. Last I had a “stuck” pixel that occurred about 3 days after my 45 day return time frame. It was barely noticeable but I did see it and called it in. It was a tiny white dot and in dark movies or scenes it was noticeable. Luckily Best Buy geek squad covered it and they were able to replace the panel since I had the protection plan (thank god..). In conclusion I believe the issues I had were rare and were easily corrected. I love this unit and wish I could afford one for every room in the house. I highly recommend spending the extra cash and getting yourself one of these OLED TVs.

Best tv
|Posted .This lg c8 65 inch tv blew me away.the picture is just amazing.i love how you can watch the tv from an off angle and the picture is perfect.for the price of 2700 it’s a good deal for a 65 inch.i was going to buy the 55 inch when I went to Best Buy but the 65 inch was the winner.i was afraid the 65 would be too big.i am sitting 10.5 feet away on the couch and 8.5 feet from the chair.with the 65 the recommended distance is 8-13 feet.so it’s perfect for me.love this tv check it out

Excellent experience to watch this TV. Beautiful
|Posted .The depth and clarity of color is beautiful!! Many scenes are so real, it feels like you could reach right in and touch objects! It is such a pleasure to watch, I find myself binge watching my favorite series. The remote setup is very intuitive, as well. Thank you for this amazing TV!

Great TV
|Posted .I am very impressed with the picture quality of this TV . I easily set it up and was watching TV in 30 minutes . This replaced a 5 yr old Samsung LED 50”. The picture quality was noticeable better in this 65” OLED. The smart part does not have Amazon app but does have Netflix. Can’t comment on sound as have it hooked up to a home theater system with Definitive Technology speakers.

Amazing
|Posted .This LG has met every expectation and then some. The processing is fast. All of the functions are easy to use. I have Charter services and the HD is amazing. I also paired the TV with the LG - 5.1.2-Channel Hi-Res Audio Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Atmos Technology. I will say the sound system is nice but I don’t think it’s worth the money. Wish I would’ve went with Bose.

Q: QuestionWhat is the width of the 65 inch c8 stand? I need to know specifically for the 65 inch c8. I seem to be finding and getting different dimensions. I’m wondering if my current stand will work.
Asked by Oled.
- A:Answer The measurements for the C8 stand are a little complicated. The weight-bearing portion of the width of the stand in the front is about 35.5". The stand itself flares out and up from this 35.5" width to just under 40", but you don't need this extra width for support. The width of the stand in the back is about 16.5", and most of this is supporting the TV. The depth of the stand is just over 9". We are using the TV on a stand that is 44.5" wide, and there is plenty of extra space edge-to-edge. The stand elevates the bottom of the TV by about 2.125". We are having a riser made for the TV (just to raise it up a small amount to fully clear a sound bar), and we have ordered the riser to be 39" X 11".

Q: QuestionHow do I pair 2 magic remotes-AN-MR18BA to OLED 65C8P so all functions operate on both the remotes? When I register the 1st unit and then the 2nd one, it prevents the 1st unit from displaying the cursor to access any functions. Wheel doesn't work.
Asked by Lauren.
- A:Answer Regrettably, you cannot pair 2 LG Magic Remote Control for Select 2018 LG AI ThinQ® Smart TV, Model # AN-MR18BA to the same LG C8PUA 4K HDR Smart OLED TV w/ AI ThinQ® - 65" Class (64.5" Diag), Model # OLED65C8PUA. Our Magic Remotes are Bluetooth devices and Multi-pairing is not supported by the TV or by the Magic Remotes...^IFV

Q: QuestionIs there any difference in screen quality between the various LG OLED TV's? I'm not interested in the sound bar because I have my own system.
Asked by sog.
- A:Answer The C8, E8 & W8 are all the same processor and panel. The B8 will have the alpha 7 processor. The B7, C7, E7, G7 & W7 are all the same with a M16++ processor. I would highly recommend getting the C8, E8 or W8.

Q: QuestionIs is possible to pair the sound of the OLED65C8PUA TV with my bluetooth hearing aids?
Asked by Samille.
- A:Answer Hi Samille. The LG C8PUA 4K HDR Smart OLED TV w/ AI ThinQ® - 65" Class (64.5" Diag), Model # OLED65C8PUA has been tested for compatibility with our Tone Series Bluetooth Headsets. It has not been tested for compatibility with other brands and while it will work with most other brands, there are no guarantees that it will work with all brands. If your Bluetooth hearing aids support the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which is the Bluetooth Stereo profile that defines how high-quality stereo audio can be streamed from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection you should be able to pair it with the TV. It might also work with the HSP (Handset Profile) and HFP (Hands-Free Profile) Bluetooth profiles which are those required for typical, mono Bluetooth headset operations...^IFV

Q: QuestionDo the LG OLED have the all important ATSC 3.0 tuner or are they ATSC 3.0 capable?
Asked by QuestionOnLGTV.
- A:Answer The LG C8PUA 4K HDR Smart OLED TV w/ AI ThinQ® - 65" Class (64.5" Diag), Model # OLED65C8PUA does not have a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner. It has a built-in ATSC 1.0 tuner. There currently aren't any TVs in the U.S. that feature a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner. ATSC 3.0 is not backward compatible with the ATSC 1.0 standard and since the FCC adopted a report and order authorizing television broadcasters to use the “Next Generation” broadcast television (Next Gen TV) transmission standard (also called “ATSC 3.0”) on a voluntary, market-driven basis that requires full power TV stations voluntarily transmitting in ATSC 3.0 will still be required, however, to continue transmitting current-generation digital television (DTV) service using the ATSC 1.0 transmission standard to their viewers. This requirement to simulcast ATSC 1.0 with ATSC 3.0 is to be accomplished by stations partnering with other stations acting as “hosts” to transmit the “guest” station’s 1.0 or 3.0 format signal. The Order authorizes the voluntary use of the ATSC 3.0 transmission standard. Broadcasters will be permitted, but not required, to transmit ATSC 3.0 signals, as long as they comply with the requirements of the Order and related rules. Alternatively, broadcasters may choose to continue transmitting their signals solely in the currently authorized ATSC 1.0 transmission standard which may make sense for many stations, at least until new consumer equipment capable of receiving and displaying ATSC 3.0 signals penetrates a significant percentage of the market...^IFV

Q: QuestionIs it worth it to upgrade from the 2017 model? I’d be interested if there was an increase in picture quality, or more settings for picture. Thanks. Joe
Asked by Heyjoe415.
- A:Answer I would recommend waiting for the 2019 model since the panel will be revamped next year. That being said, the 2018 models are a great improvement over last years. Not so much in the panel but motion handling and screen noise. I upgraded from the 2016 model which was a huge improvement.

Q: QuestionJust bought it, my model number is 65C8PUA... is this the model that came out later in the year? I read about problems with the 4.10.05 firmware. Waiting to pick it up in a couple days. Fingers crossed wife doesn’t go Kung-fu.
Asked by Buyer.
- A:Answer The issues that have been reported about the 4.10.05 update for the LG C8PUA 4K HDR Smart OLED TV w/ AI ThinQ® - 65" Class (64.5" Diag), Model # OLED65C8PUA do not affect all of the TVS. If you recently purchased the TV and do not have it set up to receive updates automatically, you could choose not to accept that particular update. There have been other updates released after that, update 4.10.06 and 4.10.15 which do not include an update for the existing algorithm in the TV to compensate the image quality when a static image is displayed on the TV...^IFV

Q: QuestionThis TV will be used for gaming. Do I need to worry about burn in?
Asked by Jimmy.
- A:Answer That’s what I use it for. I haven’t noticed any burn in. I was told you would have to play the same game with the HUD on the same spot for like 8 hours before anything would burn. I played RDR2 for like 6 hours yesterday and didn’t notice any burn.
