LG - 65" Class - OLED - W7 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

I bought the OLED65WP in August 2017. After just three weeks, I got three columns of pixels that went black from top to bottom of the screen panel (OLED Module). I was shocked that this happened with my $8,000 TV so soon after purchase. However, LG replaced a malfunctioned electrical board in the Companion Box (AOI Box) that fixed the problem. Appearance: The thickness of 3.8 mm is incredible, and it looks awesome from every angle. The Companion Box (AOI Box) is extremely ugly because it’s too big. It should be 1/3 its size. Screen Quality: The Perfect Black feature is amazing, and it makes the picture quality outstanding. Another feature that is amazing is the HDR technology that makes the picture brighter and the white colors brighter. Overall, the picture quality is the best in the market, even better than any other manufacturer. I sit at an optimal distance of about 8 ft from the screen panel for best experience. Sound Quality: I don’t know about the sound of the unit because I use my 5-speaker Bose system. In summary, I love this TV, but the Companion Box is extremely ugly. The Companion Box is too big. Anyone buying such an expensive TV will likely buy a premium sound system to go with it, so the LG sound systems is useless and too ugly.

For sure this is a neat unit... heavy TVs are, well, too heavy. But this price is introductory gimmickry for the rich and gotta-show-off crowd. Don't waste your money. The price will drop severely in the future. CONS: (1) It sits flat on the wall---thus, you can't tilt or adjust the viewing angle. This is a BAD thing, not a good one, unless your room and seating is designed for this setup. (And a capable carpenter could effectively flush mount any flat screen for the same effect). (2) The too-short cable doesn't make a lot of sense, and tethering the pricey unit to a sound bar also makes little sense---buyers who can afford this unit would certainly have a much better surround system already. I'd personally prefer to have a very light weight (3-10 pounds) panel that mounts on a traditional tilt/swivel mount. The "cool" factor doesn't outweigh the price and loss of adjustable viewing angle. And I'd bet the picture isn't equal to much cheaper units. That said, I'm excited to see this thin technology finally hit the market and I look forward to better and cheaper iterations in the future.

Although I have only had this tv for about a week, I have to say that this tv has the best looking picture of any tv that is currently on the market. OLED technology has come a very very long way. The details are crisp and stunning, and the blacks look like dark matter. The only competition for this tv is the Sony A1E (http://www.sony.com/electronics/televisions/a1e-series) which is also a 4k OLED TV and costs $6,500 for the 65". So if you're in the market for a TV and this is within your budget range, you cannot go wrong with this or the A1E. I will finish by saying that while this tv has the coolness form factor, the A1E comes with Acoustic Surface technology, which means the sound is produced by the screen. You have to experience it. It's very cool. Good luck with your purchases!
