" ... Never thought the OLED would be such a superior picture. ... "

" ... I had gone to Best Buy to look at a Samsung and there was one 55 inch LG OLED in the display. ... "

" ... Best way to compare this TV is to compare it to a past rival and that is LCD vs Plasma. ... "

" ... While the picture is quite good, by July it had developed a significant and noticeable burn in across the bottom of the screen. ... "

" ... This device is much lighter in weight than my plasma display that is replaced. ... Very satisfied, in fact stunned at the high-quality of the display. ... "

" ... Picture brightness is excellent even in a bright, highly sunlit room. ... No LED/LCD tv can compare with these OLED displays. ... The only way to get better quality is to buy a newer, more expensive, improved OLED. ... "

" ... All TVs were being fed from the same high definition source. ... I therefore removed my Vizio E class 70 inch LED and began to prepare for mounting the LG in its place. ... We also noted that regular 1080P broadcasts looked better on this television than they did on the old Vizio. ... "

" ... With an appropriate 4K HDR video source, the image is more like a theater screen than any TV I've ever seen. ... Dolby Vision HDR content will show you colors you've never seen a television reproduce before. ... You won't get the full benefit of Dolby Digital Plus (Netflix) or Dolby Atmos (Vudu) that 4K HDR streaming services provide. ... For that, you'll need a 4K-capable streaming box. ... "

" ... Get 4k video and its better than watching it in the theater. ... "

" ... The integrated 4k and HDR make things so beautiful that all of my old TV watching habits have changed. ... "

" ... Outstanding picture quality and 4K looks amazing! ... "

" ... i use my TV for gaming, Netflix and Blu Ray movies. ... FFXV looks so much better now with the PS4 Pro 4K enhancements. ... "

" ... I tested a 2K Bluray move, and was very impressed with the 4K up-scaling. ... "

" ... 4K is stunning on these. ... "

At this point the rep asks for a few minutes to open the app on her side . ... after about 5 minutes she gives up and says "it seems like someone else is using the app so I can't use it" --- does LG only have 1 license for this shady video chat app that they force you to download????? ... more updates soon. ...
