LG - 65" Class G1 Series OLED evo 4K UHD Smart webOS TV with Gallery Design

This is the first new TV that I have bought in 10 years. I researched this TV and purchased it because it is currently the best set for next generation gaming with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and four HDMI 2.1 ports. The input lag is minimal as well. Playing a game like Thumper which requires quick actions was no problem. The picture quality is excellent and the set is very premium as it should be for the cost. Even in a lit room, the picture is still sharp with minimal glare. I went to calibrate it using the THX optimizer and there were minimal adjustments to be made. The speakers on the TV don't get very loud but I do have a Soundbar that connects via ARC so that I can still get premium sound without losing the benefits of HDMI 2.1 The UI on the TV is pretty sluggish and I only use it to switch to gallery mode to protect the screen while it's on (OLED is prone to burn in so you want to take care of your TV set) I do wish that you could use your own images instead of the provided ones. The installation process was a bit tricky since the TV is so large - the included mount is designed to have the TV fit flush to the wall however getting the two small bolts on the back of the TV to fit into the wall mount was tricky even with two people handling the TV. Also it's not really said in the manual, but you will need a recessed outlet box for the TV to fit flush with the wall. I put all my cables through the wall for a very clean finish- the TV looks like a picture frame. I do wish that I had set the recessed box a bit lower because the HDMI cables do bring the TV a bit off the wall, but when I put other framed art around it, it shouldn't be noticeable. Overall - I would recommend this TV to anyone who plans to mount to the wall - if you are using a TV stand - I would go with the C1 instead since the G1 does not include a stand.

This tv is top of the line when it comes to quality. You can game 4K with 120 FPS. As well it is a must that you choose to watch your streaming apps through your this tv. You can see the difference when you watch Netflix through the app of the tv apart from a fire stick or even your gaming console. As well it’s great that HBO Max is finally available to download. If your looking for a tv that is great for this generation of gaming then look no further than this beauty.

I mean, just look at this picture. It looks that good, or even better, in person. When art is showing, I often just stop to marvel at how good it looks. This TV saved our marriage. I seriously didn't want some huge black square taking up this part of the living room. I wanted art instead. My wife, though, absolutely wanted a TV here. Technology caught up at exactly the right time. Our wall above the fireplace has a niche for the bracket. With this model, that actually isn't normally necessary because it comes with a flat bracket that mounts on the top center. BUT, our wall doesn't have studs in the right place. So the installers (who were amazing) figured out a way to use an alternate bracket that fits in the niche and can mount to the studs.

Very good experience, scheduling was easy and installers were very professional

Hanging perfectly on the wall, this 65” TV was an excellent choice. Our previous 40” was an LCD and ten years old. Yes it is expensive, relative to other TV’s probably just as nice for most viewers. We wanted the latest, greatest, with very good reviews on the internet for our replacement. This G1 fit the requirements. We’re hanging it like a picture on the wall, not with a swivel mount. It’s sort of difficult to accurately attach the TV to the bracket, even with positioning tape markers included. Be prepared to ask two friends to help you: one to help hold and the other to stand on a ladder, looking over the top, to help line up the TV into the bracket locks. Please realize that what you see on the store demo, is generally TV’s set to the brightest, contrasts, sharpest picture settings. We were unsure how standard HD would look “up rezed” to 65”. I was amazed! If you take some time and tone down the TV to reality, you’ll still appreciate the depth of detail in both the blacks and whites. I started with the “cinema” setting, went network to network, and played with the individual settings within “cinema” to give me what I wanted in a TV. I’m in the TV production business. My viewing requirements might be very different than your’s. If so, you’ll still be happy with this TV’s preset picture settings.

Best TV I’ve owned by far period end of story. This is my first oled tv and I couldn’t be more happy easy to use and understand. The no gap wall mount included in the box plus all the other goodies this TV offers did it for me, my decision was between this and the A90J from Sony. Both great but this one is almost a 1000 dollars cheaper so no brainer. Definitely recommend it 100%.

Pros: Great gaming features from VRR to ALL. Games play smooth and the motion is top notch. True Dolby Atmos from earc, something my prior OLED didn't fully support. TV can get bright but might blowout your colors. Cons: Surprising picture quality is not as good as LG C8/9 OLEDs. Keep in mind the PQ is perfectly fine, but if you're upgrading from 2018-19 OLED models you might feel a bit disappointed. The colors are not as punchie. Auto Contrast blows out the image and I recommend low settings. No DTS support which has caused an issue within the first week streaming media. The Evo gets bright but the light output is harsh. You have to turn OLED Pixel brightness down to the 50/60s and overall brightness to 48. Lastly 480P upscaling is horrible on my set. 720P is acceptable, 1080P is good but standard def channels are a bit pixated when there's fog on the screen. Conclusion. The G1 is technically solid but prior OLEDs C8/9 were cheaper and look better. If you have a C9 there's no point upgrading, certain areas you're getting a downgrade in 480P upscaling and the pack of DTS support.

TV exceeds expectations. Great picture and sound. The included mount really gives the television at picture frame look. It's plenty bright compared to my old plasma television in a bright room.
