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!

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

this 65" OLED is absolutely amazing.... I've been rocking a $500 4k TV for years now and the difference in quality is very large. This thing upscales stuff much better, and the quality 4K streams/Blurays are stunning. I don't have any issues with the remote like it seems other reviewers do, works just fine. I use a apple TV 4k a lot of the time but the app system on the TV itself is good as well, switching inputs is easy and it's good at telling which ones are connected or not and also knows how to label what they are (sony blu-ray, apple tv, playstation, etc) I will say though, the only negative is how sketchy it is to unbox and set up. LG engineers were so caught up with if they could make it this thin that they clearly never stopped to think if they actually should. It legitimately ripples/wobbles if you pinch one corner and wiggle it a little bit, it's seriously impressive and cool to look at once it's all setup but mannn was I a sweaty nervous wreck getting it face down onto my bed, putting on the stand and then getting it over to it's final resting place in the living room. Multiple people is highly recommended, or one strong person. Luckily it's so thin my cat's brains don't even register it as a potential thing to climb on/mess with haha Pic attached, F2 savannah cat and Bowers & Wilkens 600 series speakers for scale

This TV has the best image quality of any TV I've ever owned or watched. My favorite feature is the AI that auto detects the best image setting based on the content -- wether it's UHD, HDI, Dolby -- and adjusts the TV image accordingly. Additionally, the same AI upscales HD content to 4K and it looks so great that it's almost indistinguishable from true 4k. It feels like having a real home theater. I just wish the sound AI would work even for external speakers such as the Sonos Arc (it currently only supports the TV internal speakers) The WebOS is pretty easy to navigate. The new ultra sound Magic Remote is pretty cool too. It has a mouse like pointer making it much easier to navigate the screen. I also like that it has Amazon and Netflix hotkeys and programmable number pad keys, which you can assign to other apps (Hulu, Apple, ect) as well as any other actions. Just a word to the wise: if you're planning to use bluetooth headphones connected to the TV, beware that a Sonos Arc connected to your HDMI port will override your bluetooth headphones automatically. One work around is to connect the headphones to your streaming device directly. That way, when the bluetooth headphone is on it overrides the Sonos.

If you want deep blacks and infinite contrast with the best viewing angles than any other TV, This LG CX is a beauty to watch; I’m loving it. Let me add to this; it has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports at 4K 120hz with Freesync and G-sync, Dolby Atmos/Vision and as well HDR, Apple AirPlay and smart commands with Alexa and Google. The LG CX is fully loaded.

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!

There is no doubt this is the king of TVs in America. To think I was going to get something else! Everything from the ease of use and setup to it literally being ready for PS5 out of the box was phenomenal. LG has really taken a lot of steps to prevent burn in across all content, too.

One word for this TV, AMAZING! Picture quality is superb (unbeatable really) & sound quality is good enough to not *need* a sound bar. The delivery was simple & I couldn’t have asked for an easier process. Overall exceptional experience!
