Decided it was finally time to upgrade all aspects of our tv viewing experience. Saw this tv when it first debuted but had sticker shock. Bounced between the LG OLED and various Sonys but kept coming back to the OLED. Seeing the tv, talking to the salespeople in the Magnolia area and the reviews with the pre Christmas sale pushed us to purchasing this super tv. Viewing angle and bright ambient light conditions as well as evening conditions weighed mightily. AWESOME purchase and could not be happier. Had the Geek squad deliver and set up so if there were any issues, they would be the first to see it and there were none. Yes the tv was still pricey, but keep in mind that immense quality comes with it. The sound is surprisingly good but a sound bar still may be in the future. The only downside is that this picture is so good that I find myself looking at the crystal clear details instead of merely watching tv.

OLED is hands down the best tv technology in the market. I bought the 2016 version because it was $1000 cheaper than the 2017 version. The picture quality is fantastic, black levels are inky, and contrast is amazing, I can't wait for OLED to get cheaper so that I can buy another one for my other rooms.

I wanted an OLED TV since I first started reading about them years ago. When they first came out, they were WAY TOO expensive for my family. We decided when the price for the 65 inch OLED hit a certain level that we would purchase one for our family room.
Well, during the LABOR DAY sale this year, we went to BB and as usual, went to oogle the OLED. While there, the salesman asked if we needed help and I told him our story and price point. Much to my surprise, he made it happen. The TV came with a free mount and installation and a week later, the TV was hanging on the wall in our family room.
The TV did not disappoint. The webOS front end for the TV was a pleasant surprise. We streamed as much 4K content over the web as we could and the picture was simply STUNNING. After binge watching a few series from AMAZON and NETFLIX we went back to watching normal HDTV. We were spoiled by the 4K picture and high contrast.... don't get me wrong, the HDTV is also GREAT but it is not 4K ultra HD.
The colors and contrast on this TV are the best I have ever seen. It reminds my of our old PLASMA TV on steroids. The blacks are really BLACK and the picture looks great no matter what the viewing angle (can't say the same for our old SAMSUNG HDTV LED TV).
I highly recommend this TV now that the price has come down to earth. Still pricey but definitely worth it.

If you don't like rambling, just skip to the last couple paragraphs.
I had been considering upgrading to a 65" or 75" screen, so I went to Best Buy to see the difference. First off, a piece of advice: it's really tough to get a sense of how big a 75" television is when it's on the wall in that massive store. Make sure you have your young son or daughter stand next to it or whatever. What I realized is that for me, the choice sort of comes down to really-nice-65" or not-quite-as-nice 75".
If I'm being honest, I find the descriptions and specifications to be sort of distracting. There are things I know I want, like "flat" and "television," and there are things I know I don't want, like "curved" and "3D." I want the picture to look good. I don't want any explanations that trick me into thinking the picture looks good.
I did notice a difference between the picture quality of the Quantum Dot Samsungs vs. the lower models, but it could also have had something to do with 4K resolution on a 65" vs. a 75" screen. In any case, the difference was enough so that I was leaning toward "really-nice-65."
Once the guys on the sales floor heard that, they started talking about 55" OLEDs. Both of the guys that were helping me talked about them in that "I mean if you want to get serious..." sort of way, which made me realize I hadn't spent enough time reading electronics blogs. I've had a couple of Samsung TVs and I've been happy with them, but they convinced me to take a look at the LGs.
I could see the difference immediately. The side-by-side demo is really dramatic. What blew my mind was when the guy restarted the DVD and the screen went black. The remote cursor popped up and it honestly looked fake, like someone had turned off the television and put a sticker on the screen.
I use my television to watch movies, and there were a lot of good movies made before insanely HD cameras were developed. That's not to say I don't enjoy Planet Earth or The Art of Flight, but sometimes seeing the bumpy skin on Paul Giamatti's nose just isn't that important to me. The thing is, the OLED technology makes EVERYTHING look better with depth rather than just resolution. The technology that allows each pixel to be lit individually is for real. It's pretty obvious to me now that this is the way everything is going. If you're wondering if it's another gimmick, it's not. It's amazing. In fact, backlit LED screens are ruined for me now. They look gray where they should be black.
If you're waffling about buying an OLED, do it. You definitely will not regret it (unless you're considering spending 20k on a 77" screen, in which case you are a ridiculous person). If you want to see it for yourself, make sure you ask them for some kind of demo that involves graphics against a black background, like when you start up the Netflix app or something. It's as if they've solved the problem most of us weren't even aware of.

This is probably the best TV I've ever owned. As we were downsizing from a video projector because of moving, we wanted to make up for size with picture quality. This TV certainly has done that. It's also easy to use, which is a big plus. Only downside: Very expensive.

We replaced a 55 inch Samsung TV that was starting to fail after 5 years. I researched Samsung, SONY and LG online and decided to try the 65 inch LG OLED. The external dimensions of the unit were hardly larger than the 55 inch because there was very little margin around the picture area. The colors are vivid and the blacks are dark, (a main feature of OLED technology because the LEDs are totally off when not being used). Unfortunately I haven't seen 4K UHD yet because I don't have one of the new blue ray DVD players yet and I haven't felt the need to pay for 4K streaming. (apparently only offered as a separate subscription to NetFlix). I would definitely recommend this TV to people in the market for a new one, especially since they lowered the price by $500 recently ,and since Best Buy honored their policy of reimbursing the difference in price if asked within the return period- 45 d for elite plus reward members

Purchased it on a Black Friday special. Paid more than the latest Samsung, but I think it's worth it for the OLED. I have a very picky eye and I've been impressed. Deep blacks, colors, clarity, and contrast are excellent. The preset picture mode settings are not perfect and need some adjusting. I will only use several of the presets anyway. I prefer to turn "off" the True Motion feature on all of the picture mode settings. For me, that eliminates any faint motion blur or tiny ghosting effect that one might see from time to time. I see that stuff, but others may not. The True Motion feature is recommended for watching sports, but I don't use it for that either - no need. Other little features like eye comfort mode are nice. I really like the Bright Room and Dark Room settings. If you use the TV speakers, then you'll love the Harman Kardon audio. The other thing I like about this TV is the stand. Non-issue for those who are mounting, but the stand is smaller, not nearly as deep, and less noticeable than say the Samsung stands. The small depth of the stand is ideal for me as it fits better on my cabinet top. It sits directly underneath the TV as well and takes up significantly less surface area. I'm very happy with this TV.

I have always wanted an OLED TV, finally got it during the sale. very thin, pitch black blacks. HDR and Dolby Vision ready. 4K Netflix looks great. Only negative is the picture settings sometimes reset without warning and you have to re setup.

The LG 65" OLED creates an excellent picture. The contrast ratio (white to black) is outstanding and the color accuracy is also very good (No glowing greens or faces full of red). Out of the box the settings need to be toned down as the picture is WAY too bright. Having previously used a top of the line Plasma (Pioneer Kuro) I can say this TV is even better with contrast ratio and obviously pixel density (1080P vs 4k). The TV also has great off angle viewing like a plasma (colors don't shift or mute when looked at from a side angle). All that has made me pretty happy. The one area this TV is a little lacking is the motion processing. Turned off completely and you will get occassional judder as cameras pan on some content. Depends on the source, which means movie vs TV and even TV channel to channel. Turn it on part way and the judder may mostly clear up but then you can get other motion artifacts (blurring for instance) again on certain content. There is no setting that "just works". It isn't terrible but is certainly worse than my 7 year old Pioneer which was very smooth, and also appears to be worse than the Sony sets I looked at. In the end though, the great contrast ratio, color accuracy, even screen output (no vignetting on my set at all which I did see on many of the Sony LCDs), and off-axis viewing were the winner and I am very happy in general.

Had a 9000 series Samsung that died unexpectedly after only 5 years. That had a very good picture. Read reviews and narrowed down my targets to 3 models and brands. I would have never have considered this until I saw it in person and was just blown away. All of the expert reviews kept raving about the level of black that this unit produces. I really did not think that it made much of a difference, but now I understand and agree, wow what a picture! Remote took a little getting used to as it acts like a laser mouse. Overall very intuitive and easy to get around the menus. Apps work seamlessly as well. Very much recommend this product.

Great contrast, but needs professional calibration

Been waiting on OLED's to drop in price for a long time. Finally, below the $3k mark I purchased. So after one month's ownership here's what I think so far.
The good: Contrast is awesome, so much so, I have to turn it down to get subtle shades of greys on dark suits and uniforms. Off angle viewing is superb, no loss of color or contrast for the people sitting on the side of my living room...FINALLY! The Web OS3 is pretty nice, once you figure it out. I easily set up wireless connection and added my Netflix and Amazon profiles. And, played UHD 4K content from Amazon without a hitch. Colors pop in HDR, but they are far from true colors. With a thousand possible settings you can go online, get some published settings and tweak the gamma, white and color settings available in each mode. I've only changed those in the "Standard Dark Room" settings. Blacks are so black I had to turn up some of the white levels.
Now for the not so good: So, this TV definitely needs a professional calibration as one Best Buy employee has indicated on this site. In addition, other issues remain. Artifacts will develop during dark scenes either in Blu-ray or on DVR. This TV has a pronounced rainbow effect (typical for LCDs) that I haven't seen since my 2004 Mits DLP HD TV. And the rainbows show up in sky views and menus especially. I also found (like my old Mits) there is a little Red push in color without changing settings. The LG OLED 4K UHD does a poor job of displaying 480p and 1080i based on my Direct TV DVR. Especially poor when news channels show their story clips in Standard Def. Huge artifacts and broken lines show up even on still pictures on these news channels. And, colors change dramatically based on the source even on a single channel, i.e. from the HD show to the commercial to the news caster set. There's no way to keep up. So, it took a while to find a compromise, but it will never be able to provide a good picture for SD no matter what the source (to include and especially over the air SD TV channels). You have to give the OLED the best source possible to begin with. And, finally, that motion flow capability is subpar as indicated by other reviews here and online. I've turned it off where I can, but I leave a low level amount on for the Sports broadcasts and my 4K Blu-ray player in HDR. Low level motion flow still will aggravate the videophile when they see shadow ripples around fast moving objects.
Overall, I'm not extremely impressed as I thought I would be, hence I'm giving this a 3 out of 5. I would not recommend purchase just yet, but, I'm not returning the TV either. That awesome contrast and off angle viewing is worth it to me, although I expected a better video engine/processor at this price range. I still might get a professional calibration done and spend the next few months tweaking all the modes. I'll post back with updates every few months.

When I saw this TV in the store, I thought it had the best picture, but I initially bought the Sony XBR-930 because the sales person kept quoting me list prices on everything. I didn't catch this until after I got another email from Best Buy two days later and realized that the TV I really wanted - the LG - was also on sale and actually within the amount that I had wanted to spend. It even came with free delivery and pickup of the Sony - so I went that evening and paid the difference and the TV was delivered that Saturday morning.
So happy that I ended up with the LG!!! Even at home, the picture quality is AMAZING! Paired with the Samsung 4K Blu-Ray player that does 4k up-scaling and HDR, even standard Blu-Ray discs look much better on this TV. You can see things that you never even noticed before - really cool! This one has several picture modes to where you can still have great quality, but the movie you're watching doesn't look fake or like a soap opera. That's one of the reasons I had kept my old rear-projection TV for so long - the first time I ever watched a movie on an LED TV it looked so fake I didn't like it. This one can look that way, but it can also look like a regular movie - just better.
My only complaint is the same complaint I have about all new TVs - I either want to be able to load a stripped down version of the OS or I want a DUMB TV with the same picture quality and without all of the junk I don't want and will never use. I don't need yet another device to have to worry about doing security updates. I don't want a web browser on my TV. All I need is a really awesome 65" (or larger) monitor with 4 HDMI inputs that I can turn off and on and that's really it. With that said, because it is a Smart TV, it would be really nice if it had the DirecTV app built in like the Sony and not have to have the Genie Mini and the WVB and all of the associated cables and power bricks that go along with.

I did months of research before buying my first big screen TV. I was deciding between LG and Sony 4K TVs. Obviously, I wanted this to be future-proof for at least several years. The current HDR formats at Dolby Vision and HDR10. This was one of the only TVs at the time to support both. Please note, while some formats can be added later, Dolby Vision requires a special chip so you need to decide beforehand if you may ever want to use it. LG currently makes the best OLEDs. THe B6 was ranked TV of the year by many sites and it shows. Also, I love the remote and mouse like interface, once you are used to it, even faster. It has so many apps built in, that I am only using my Roku still for the PS Vue app, it has the others.

Did s ton of review reading on tvs looking for the best (within reason) for sports, movies and games and this was the one. Looked at the pro review sites too - and this was the one. Have had for a month - pic quality is great, black levels tremendous, sports blur negated. It's tremendous and as advertised. BUT. It is expensive. I knew that going in, so I can't down grade much on that aspect. The remote is a bit awkward to hold, seems to work ok. The in-tv interface for apps and sucks works ok. Have no interest in the voice control so have not tried yet. Tv speakers are about twangy - but acceptable if you don't have speakers. All in all - it's great. No burn in either to date for anything I've viewed.

This is a fantastic display. I bought it to replace a 6 year old Plasma screen, as I wanted to upgrade to the new 4K HDR display, and IMHO OLED is the only technology on the market that does as good a job as plasma with real blacks, which means really good contrast.
The picture is noticeably sharper than my old Plasma screen, to the point where with certain programs it almost looks 3D. (Note that this is NOT the 3D model).
I use DishNetwork for regular TV, and I've noticed that certain channels and even within channels certain programs have a sharper picture than others. This is only a guess, but I attribute this to the quality of the signal supplied to DishNetwork. When viewing Blu-ray DVDs the picture is uniformly remarkable; vivid colors, great contrast, and an incredibly sharp picture. You really feel like it's real.
The remote takes a little getting used to, and the menu structure can be a little confusing, but since once I had it set up to my liking I rarely use the remote this is not a big issue.
Also, while not really a big deal, I was disappointed that the power cord is a little short, and wired into the unit. If, like me, you run all your cabling through the wall to hide them, you may be left with one cable showing.
There is virtually no bezel around the screen. My old plasma unit was a 50 inch screen, and this 65 inch unit is only a few inches wider and virtually the same height.
I've also noticed that there is much less glare on the screen from external light sources, like overhead lights.
It's an expensive TV, but in spite of the few minor problems I mentioned above I'm VERY happy with it, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants to a great picture.

For those who are looking for a best in class picture quality, look no further! The LG b6 series is an excellent TV that showcases truly impressive contrast ranges for an astounding picture full of bright punchy colors and deep inky blacks that only OLED displays can achieve. However, no product is without flaws and the b6 series is no exception. Firstly, the product is still very expensive and while it's picture is well worth every penny I don't advise stretching the bank for this TV, only buy it if you can afford to, there are plenty of other excellent TV's that come close to the b6's image but cost a fraction of the price. Secondly, while the TV stand is well designed aethstetically speaking, it's not so much so in function as the TV tends to wobble when touched which is a little disconcerting. This isn't a huge deal breaker for single people who will seldom touch the TV but I would highly recommend mounting it for those with kids or animals in the house. Aside from these minor gripes though, the LG b6 series delivers a truly impressive picture that anyone who can afford it's high buy in price will love from the moment they first turn it on.

I currently own all flavor of TV Tech available from my Super Awesome Panasonic (https://www.cnet.com/products/panasonic-tc-pst60/review/) which owns the best pict awards from CNET for the price and believe me, they are not wrong. Its a shame that you cant get that anymore..
Next I have a Panasonic LED TV with which I learnt all about light bleeding and fake LED colors and no blacks at all issue. (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2457907,00.asp)
I had been waiting to get to a 4K OLED when the price was reasonable and when I got HDR included (both standards HDR10 and Dolby Vision) on this TV. I was happy..
This being a 4K TV produces amazing contrast (since it can go very white and black at the same time), my plasma still produces awesome 1080p picture but this OLED takes it to the next level.
It does have an issues or image smoothness around objects like a person moving which i see only when I Am watching content/movie from my xBox one S which is 4K. When I watch anything streaming on the TV itself its not there . may be its a XBox issue, I still have to find that. Thats why 4 Star.
Other than this, extrememly pleased with the picture of this TV.

I had purchased a Samsung before deciding on this. The Samsung front panel looked like it was falling off and had a huge gap between the panel and bezel. I returned to BB and really pondered in just an exchange or another brand. After sitting in the tv department for a while I was helped by a wonderful associate. We reveiewed all the tvs and I really enjoyed the picture so I decided to spend the extra money on the LG. Got the new set home and set it up. The picture quality is phenomenal. The colors are amazing. I'm a gamer as well and the PS4 Pro with his set is incredible. Horizon zero dawn looks amazing. 4K HDR content also is completely astonishing. I would purchase again.

This was a warranty replacement for my old plasma whose screen failed. { Best Buy does stand behind warranty. They gave me full credit for original price paid and I only had to pay the $500. price difference for newest TV technology available and it was installed programmed into Harmony remote and they will do calibration after break in period all as part of warranty wiyh no extra charge} }. This TV has an incredible picture;widest viewing angle available and the brightness of picture doesn't appear to be affected much by changes in ambient light. {although I must say picture is stunning in dark/low level lit room.] OLED is new so the 5 year warranty is worth it
