I had been waiting for the new 2020 77” GX OLED since CES in January. Once Best Buy has it in stock I jumped on it. It was nice they included a 400.00 gift card. The tv is super super thin. It comes with a flush mount wall bracket so the tv can hang just like a picture in a art gallery. Hence the “G” in GX... it stands for gallery. I bought all new 8K Ultra High Speed cables to accommodate the 4K @120hz this tv is capable of. Once the Series X and PS5 come out I’ll be able to take full advantage of it. I played a few 4K blu-rays and it looks absolutely amazing. The black levels looks super super inky black. The colors are so vibrant and pop off the screen. It’s by far better than my 2017 E7 OLED I still have. Not that my E7 was bad, but this is a noticeable upgrade. If you want the absolute best of the best. Then this is the tv for you.

Before my review, here is a quick summary of how I made the decision to buy this particular TV. After doing a bunch of research, I narrowed my search to 77" LG GX and the 65" Sony A90J (both selling for the same price at the time). I went back and forth for a few days but ended up choosing the GX based on how far away we sit from the TV (around 15") and a general consensus that no one ever regrets going bigger. I also took a hard look at the 2021 version of this TV (the G1) but could find only minor differences: slightly newer chipset, "brighter panel", and a new version of WebOS. Although I rarely use WebOS (we almost exclusively stream through an AppleTV), I do appreciate the minimal design of the older version of WebOS included with the GX and the fact that you can turn off the ads. Most importantly, the 2021 G1 was out of my price range and unavailable for purchase. I paid to have the unit wall mounted using the included mount and also had them add power behind the TV. It was well worth the $200 cost. It looks beautiful on the wall and frames the area very well. There is only a minor gap to the wall, maybe a finger-width. Unless you plan on hooking up no wires to the TV (including a power cord), you will most likely have a small gap as well. My previous TV was my 13-year-old Pioneer Elite Kuro 5010 plasma, a top-of-the-line TV at the time which still performed well but had no support for 4K. I can't underestimate what a difference it is going from 50" to 77" and from 1080P to 4K, especially with how far we sit from our TV. We actually sit even farther away when eating dinner in our dining area and the larger TV is a vast improvement. Because we are using the new 4K Apple TV almost 100% of time which defaults to DolbyVision, no calibration was needed. I have it hooked up to the LG SP8YA soundbar and overall, the setup is very simple and clean. In fact, we are able to use the sleek Apple TV remote almost exclusively (unless we want to watch live TV via our HD antenna, which is rare). The picture quality is amazing and I've never felt like the TV wasn't bright enough. In fact, sometimes I feel it is too bright and am tempted to turn the OLED Light settings down. So I'm definitely not regretting my decision to go with the GX instead of the "brighter" G1. I will say, we tend to watch TV in the evenings and have no windows directly facing the TV. As far as features, we don't really use WebOS (since we use our Apple TV for all streaming) so I can't speak to how well it performs. It has Airplay, but I've disabled it since we AirPlay directly to the soundbar (for audio only) or to the AppleTV (audio & video). It also has voice recognition but I found that it was too sensitive, even when adjusting the sensitivity in the settings. Speaking of that, it has a slider bar to adjust sensitivity, but the bar literally only has two positions - all the way to the right or to the left. So it's more like a giant on-off switch than a slider. Hopefully they address that with a firmware update. The only other feature I'm excited to try is the NextGen ATSC 3.0 over-the-air signals when some finally come out in my area, hopefully in late June. Some reviewers may feel differently, but I love the included Magic Remote. I would have no problem using it exclusively if we weren't using the minimal AppleTV remote instead. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would recommend purchasing this TV before they are all gone while the price is so low (and hopefully Best Buy is still including the free $350 gift card w/ purchase). I really don't think the 2021 version is different enough to justify the additional cost and if you plan to use WebOS, the 2020 version of the software would be better for those who prefer minimal design and no ads.

I cannot recommend the LG G series any higher. The picture quality is amazing, 120Hz on the Xbox series x looks amazing, and the finished install is as good as it gets. The install is rather involved as you have to install a recessed box behind the TV, re-route electrical, and I also put some 3/4” plywood reinforcement where the wall mount would attach. It took a fair number of hours to do the install but it was totally worth it for a wall hugging TV. Just an incredible unit. I only wish that the 83” existed when I purchased.
