LG - 65" Class CX Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV

Let me start this review off by going right at everyone's fear that want to buy an Oled TV but fear the word "Burn in" by stating the history of OLED TVs I've owned. I am a heavy gamer and my tv is on for over 8+ hrs a day between my little one, my wife and then myself gaming at night. I had a C6 that developed burn in after 2 years (roughly 8000 hrs in) gaming heavy and not understanding the whole "burn in effect". My warranty replacement was the C8 and I gamed even longer and harder on this set and had 0 burn in effects. The company has made huge strides in helping almost eliminate this from happening. Can it happen if you leave a static image on screen for hours upon hours, weeks after weeks, months after months? Yes! But knowing this and just in generally speaking, not many people watch the same thing every day for hours on end without mixing it up? It's very rare with these current models because of all the tools LG added to the TV like Screen shift, Screen saver, Logo Luminanve Adjuster and Pixel Refresher. You do not have to worry about burn in with these new sets. First off, the picture quality is top notch. I dont think there is another tv on the market (especially at $2800) that produces this level of on screen beauty. Color accuracy, pure black levels really make the colors pop off the screen, amazing contrast, etc... Anyone who says these tvs dont get bright enough have not sat in front of the tv. Its blinding! The HDR is beautiful! The upscaling is the best this series has ever had to offer. I believe they stressed the new A9 gen 3 chip was heavily focused on improving the upscaling, and you can really see it with this model (especially coming from a C8). The AI Picture and Sound features are huge upgrades and the great thing about them is you get to see a first hand example of their effects in the tv setup options. The AI picture mode really does a great job with human faces. The AI sound mode really helps single out the talking over the loud background sounds. In general it makes the tv so much louder at lower volume settings. Now on to the reason I wanted this TV so bad and what makes this tv the best in the business. It is designed to be a gaming tv. Usually when you think Oled, you are thinking about a high quality 4k movie watching tv. Well now not only is it that, but now it's a top notch gaming tv that easily rivals the best gaming monitors out there. It is fully future proof for the new systems coming. The tv has HDMI 2.1 which the new systems will take advantage of. It has insanely low response times with 4k 120hz BFI (Black Frame Insertion. It comes with built in Nvidia G sync and VRR. The Xbox X currently let's you use VRR and auto low latency on this tv along with 1440P 120 if desired. Graphically it's the best looking tv I've ever gamed on. The HDR lighting is much improved from my C8. I think because this set gets a bit brighter than my C8. It also has Dynamic tone mapping which adds a beautiful little extra brightness to your game picture quality (if you prefer it). And it also has HGIG but as far as I understand, not many games use it currently so I notice the lighting still looks better with Dynamic Tone Mapping alone without the HGIG. Also I notice in faster moving games that I have more control. Like in NHL Hockey 20 and Call of Duty, I can actually feel a difference in what I assume to be the better response time with VRR and Auto low latency checked on. I'm not sure what exactly technology is working here but all I can say is what I physically feel. And it's an improvement from my C8. (More control) I cant imagine how it's only gonna get better as the new systems are improving these areas. I must apologize for all the things I've left out, like the amazing operating system WebOS which is silly smooth and fast controlled by the magic remote (which is like a Wii remote you point and click). Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, HDR 10. All in all, I highly and strongly recommend this tv for anyone looking to upgrade. If you are a movie buff or a gamer, this tv is a no brainers. The best part is it is close to $1000 cheaper than its usual release price. Kudos to LG for getting it out with a great price point. Get this tv and enjoy its beauty! Pictures I post dont do it justice. My camera cannot capture the detail and it add blooming that is not visible on my tv. Black is black!

Amazing picture quality out of the box. Minor tweeking of settings to adjust to you liking makes it even better. I really like the remote and the OS is great and responsive. I'm using a Roku Ultra with it and not the native apps, but I have tried them out and they do work great. It's super thin. Like afraid I'm going to snap it in two thin. The included stand sits the TV about 2 inches off the surface it's sitting on which is ridiculously low. If you are not mounting it to the wall and are using a soundbar under the TV, it will block the TV. I'm going to have to get a tabletop mount stand to lift the TV up from the top of the surface and it's a great solution but should I have to spend $100 on a stand on a $2000 TV so my soundbar doesn't block the bottom of it? No. The stand needs to be a couple inches taller. Burn in was my major concern going with OLED, but these newer sets have settings that can help with reducing your risk. Best Buy's Geek Squad warranty also covers burn in so just get that if it's that much of a concern for you. The picture quality difference coming from a 2019 Vizio Quantum M series to this is night and day. Seeing 4k Dolby Vision on the LG is sort of like seeing HD for the first time back in 2005. Jaw dropping and we'll worth the risk of burn in. I have a Series X and PS5 hooked up to it via eArc and it is absolute craziness playing games on it. Response time is insanely good with no sacrifice to image quality. Auto game mode works so well, it's so nice not to have to manually turn on low latency everytime I play a game. Best TV I've ever owned. It's been my dream TV since I first saw this series years ago and I was finally able to get it and am beyond pleased with it so far. It was between this set and the Vizio P Quantum X for me, about a $600 price swing. If it's within or near your budget and your thinking of saving a few bucks to get a Vizio or something, don't. Spend the extra couple hundred and get this LG OLED. It is so worth it and blows everything else out of the water.

Had been using a Sony Bravia x900e 49" tv for the past year or so but i didnt like the halo effect i would get on a dark image. Decided to upgrade to an OLED and omfg i love this tv. From the look to the images this tv is a beast. Legit two other people in my family have now bought this tv after seeing mine. There's nothing to think about just by it. You will need two people to get it in place though. Screen is thinner than a pencil so an extra hand is a must. You will no regret your purchase you have my word. I honestly regretted the sony the entire time i had it. Send the 2,200 and save yourself an extra tv upgrade. I will not need an upgrade until 8k is were 4k is now. Only suggestion is maybe wait till February for the 2021 line up and the CX should be at least 300-500 dollars cheaper

Have longed to own an OLED for some time now and after some research I got home this one . Geek Squad did a great job with placing it on the wall.....I am still getting used to it . There are simply too may functions that you probably will not bother to use once you find your sweet spot in terms of setting . First up it visually striking and cannot believe how thin they can make these .... color contrast is fabulous ...as they say the blacks are true and so is the rest of the color shade. I did not bother to check the sound as I connected it with an LG SN10YG sound bar ( via the Optic eARC ) and it is a great natch for this TV. I love the apps , the Web OS and all the free TV that comes with it.....I cut my cable long back and now I cut Sling too. This TV has everything and will last quite a few years like my old 3D Vizio that is still going string after 11 years. I have some complaints though....the wireless connectivity is bad despite being close the router ( may be that's the problem)....it drops many times a day :( also they could have done a better job with the remote and the built in Alexa. Not a perfect 5, but end of the day , this is one solid and sexy device that you and your friends will enjoy for a long time Well done LG PS : There is a promo going on .. you can get a PL5 X Boom Speaker when you buy this TV or other eligible OLEDs / Sound Bars

More amazing than the reviews. And when people say thin, we’re talking like those cartoon fish that turn sideways and the you can’t see them thin. It is quite sturdy, and my wife and I got it hung without incident. It’s literally an inch or so too big for the space we have and we’ve both plowed into the side of it without damage to the tv. You’re not buying this model for the sound quality so do invest in a sound bar. No idea why reviewers complain about the mouse function on the remote. I find it works great. My only complaint is of the malcontented guy at Best Buy who brought out our tv. He refused to put it in our car because it would be in its side. He told us to rent a truck! We put it in our car ourselves and guess what? It was packaged appropriately to be driven home. I hope he’s found another line of work.

So I've been planning to buy a tv for about 5 years now. This TV stood out to me. The reviews were super good. Well I bought this same tv originally from the Navy Exchange and day 2 of I got black and white horizontal lines all the way up the TV. I mounted it and everything. I was so mad to have to take it down and hope I could return it. Well turns out that TV was defective. So this would be the second CX I bought and well the second times a charm, turned out to be a good move. This one has been outstanding. The picture quality is excellent, the menu system is pretty easy to use and 4 HDMI ports(amazing). Gaming on this TV has been a dream, she handled my Xbox series X like it was light work. I can connect Bluetooth headsets for audio. LG CX does lack HBO right now, maybe in future update. The voice command feature is pretty cool. Your able to use google and Alexa. There’s airplay built in. They even have these cool wall art pictures that look really awesome. Overall without naming every feature it has in the book, I think this TV is a heavy weight Champion of High end TV’s in every way and it’s on sale when I bought it. So have at it it’s worth the moneys in my opinion.

Bought my first TV back in 2009. It was a 42” LG and it was still going strong, but I was finally ready to upgrade to something bigger. I went back and forth about spending this much money on a TV, but the picture quality in the store ultimately won me over. Now that it’s here I’m still in love. It’s such a huge difference from my old TV. I feel like I can see people’s pores as if they’re right in front of me lol. I have a small living room, so this 65” definitely feels like a theatre experience. As for putting it together. . Thank God for YouTube because I was lost. The base is really heavy.. the tv and the base combined are pretty heavy. There was no way I could lift it myself to put on the stand. It’s super thin and I agree with others that I was nervous while putting everything together. I’m still trying to figure out how to do a few things like change my screensaver.. but overall I’m so glad I went for it and got this. It was worth it.

THE BEST GAMING TV EVER!!!! (4K DISCS TOO)! WOW. I've had a high end Samsung LED QUHD TV for four years now and after turning this baby on, WOW. You cannot get better than this. I popped in God of War on my PS5 and was blown away. LoTRs in 4k looked amazing too. The blacks are black as night. This TV just disappears in dark scenes and the contrast with brights and colors - WOAH. I waited/searched for 4 months until this TV came back in stock and let me tell you - it was worth the wait. 12/10!
