This TV is simply outstanding! And yes, expensive! However, a Black Friday deal in July made it much more affordable than the typical sale price. The picture quality is what you would expect from a 4K OLED panel, with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and stunning contrast. And the size makes the experience truly cinematic, especially with the myriad picture quality choices such as HDR, Dolby Vision, and HLG. This is an excellent addition to any home, making viewing more immersive than its younger siblings (like the 77” OLED). It’s easy to fall into the trap of binge-watching TV shows and movies. I have this flush-mounted on the wall using the supplied brackets, which is ideal, space-saving, and theater-like. But a stand is available as an option. The third-party installation guys used by Best Buy struggled with mounting it and nearly gave up. But they were eventually able to get it done. It clearly requires a bit of experience and technique to get the mounting right, and they had not mounted this model before. Best Buy scheduling wasn’t the most customer-friendly either. The TV has numerous features and is state-of-the-art for a 2023 model. And they’re all easy to use. The sound quality is excellent, with clear dialogue, rich bass, and immersive surround sound. I enhanced the audio experience by using it in conjunction with an external optical audio system, which further amplifies the sound and adds depth to the viewing experience. The Zero Connect wireless box, a key accessory, worked like a charm with zero issues (pun intended!). It eliminates the need for messy cables and ensures a seamless connection between the TV and external devices. There is no video lag or loss of connectivity. It has multiple positioning options (I have it below the TV). Some reviews have speculated about this feature, but I have not experienced any issues. A nice little bonus is the sleek metal remote control (instead of the regular plastic one). This is my third LG OLED (I started with a 55” curved, then 77”). Once you go OLED, I don’t think you can go back to any of the other panels. Overall, this is a terrific TV if you can swing it. It is a fraction of the cost of the custom 146” Samsung wall, even if it’s a multiple of the 77” LG OLED. The best time to buy is when LG has the sweet Black Friday deal (whether in July or November). I recommend this TV without any reservations.

Rating is based on the Best Buy experience so far: I don't actually know what the TV is like b/c Best Buy hasn't delivered the (required) zero connect box so I can't turn on the TV. They also can't replace the TV or offer me a swap to a comparable TV. I have spent 2 days of service appointments and 6+ hours talking to support with no resolution.

This is a fantastic TV. Very large, clear, life-like picture with an easy to user interface.
