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!

I’ve never had a TV larger than 32”. I love my new 65” Smart TV! The two technicians that delivered it, set it up for me. The young man, who sold it to me, took the time to explain what the TV would do, etc. He was very patient with me when my credit card seemed to have “an issue”. But, it all got ironed out. He explained that sometimes credit card companies are cautious about large purchases at Best Buy.

Amazing 4k TV! Even got it on sale. Quality of the picture is fantastic, lots of options on it too. Connecting it up to my soundbar and Fios TV was a snap. Sadly, Fios TV only has 2 channels broadcasting in 4k currently (and they don't have content on there a lot, usually just a random sports game). Amazon Prime Video has some 4k content though, and looks great on this TV. Built in TV speakers are fine, but I would suggest investing in a good soundbar to compliment this TV. As for the potential burn in issue, there are settings you can adjust to minimize that chance. Definitely recommend this TV if its within your budget! :)

Amazing... Buy Now the picture and detail is mind blowing . No need for sound bar this tv sounds good out the box . One week in no issues what so ever.

Love this tv! I have zero complaints! In delivery was convenient and COVID safe. Setup was simple, with an extra set of hands (this sucker is heavy). The picture is brilliant, even in full sun.

Insane picture quality, perfect for next generation gaming and streaming. Very sensitive though so be extra careful when manipulating it!

I fell in love with this TV, its graphics are on another level and when connecting it with the new Xbox X series without words. I recommend this tv in any of its dimensions for gaming.

I recently purchased the 65 CX along with the new XBOX SERIES X. I was excited to start gaming on it but fiund out something is wrong with the HDR features communicating between the tv and xbox. I dont know if its the black tone mapping or what but I tested out movies and 4k black tests and it looks great but when you play games like Vahalla you get these digital rain drops that are goin bottom to the top of the screen. So i tested other games to see if i got the same issue. Destiny 2 is horrible especially in the planet Nessus. If yoy load into Exodus Black you notice it right away. Also the strike mission and the cruicible map on nessus. The shadows which should be black have this weird shine to it like blue. Kinda looks like ink or those negative pictures you get back when you had your pictures developed. (Lol yes im old). So i contacted LG yesterday and thy told me if i had pictures or videos which i do i also gave them a link to reddit of other CX C9 buyers having the same issue. Call of Duty is also having picture issues with flickering screens.
