" ... Fantastic Design makes it great for placement in my bedroom and capabilities in picture quality are stellar. ... Picture wise it is stellar, the room is dark so the whole experience is spectacular. ... "
" ... Beautiful picture and very easy setup. ... "
" ... the picture quality and design can't be beat for the money. ... most TV's I've seen have a hard time showing great pictures in the daytime/bright rooms, this is not an issue with this television at all--and the night time picture is simply stunning. ... "
" ... This is a major jump in quality of picture and overall TV design. ... "
" ... In my opinion, the picture quality, rich colors, darks and the refresh rates could not be beat. ... I felt like I was viewing my Samsung but the picture seemed brighter and details much sharper. ... The picture looked like a regular LED so I played around with the picture settings but could not get the viewing experience that I saw at Best Buy or that many of the customer reviews indicated. ... Within the hour, I was able to obtain the picture quality I was looking for. ... "

" ... Another thing we love about this TV is the sound quality. ... With our previous Sharp LCD TV we had used a Sharp sound bar + subwoofer. ... I was skeptical about using this TV without a sound bar, but we wanted to try it and discovered that we like the sound from the LG's built-in "sound bar" better. ... For one thing, dialogue is much easier to hear over music and background noise. ... The TV has a sound setting specifically designed to enhance dialogue (Clear Voice III) which you will love if you have often have trouble understanding what people are saying. ... Or you can set the sound to let the TV choose the appropriate setting. ... (There is a setting to output sound and still use the internal sound bar. ... Overall, we are very happy with the set's internal speaker system. ... So, if you are definitely planning on hooking your TV up to an external sound system, you might get by just fine with one of the less expensive LG OLED's. ... The step up to OLED and good internal sound was definitely worth the money. ... "
" ... I chose this TV over Sony and Samsung, because of preference on the color, clarity, and the built in speaker at the bottom of the panel. ... The sound is loud and crisp. ... "

" ... Just got my 55 inch OLED E7P yesterday afternoon. ... I never know how far off the blacks were on my newly retired Plasma TV. ... "
" ... Interestingly, compared to the old plasma, when turned off, the glass on glass does not reflect nearly as much, a nice ++plus!. ... "
" ... Bottom line -- great TV. ... "

" ... When I bought the TV back in 2011, 3D was on the upswing and personally I loved it but 3D viewing is not for everyone and it quickly became an obsolete viewing experience in my home. ... Now on to the 4K movie experience…. ... Once I decided to buy this TV, over the course of this past year and thru Amazon, I purchased the Yamaha AVENTAGE Audio & Video Component Receiver and a pair of Klipsch RP-140SA Dolby Atmos speakers. ... This not only set me up for 4K Ultra HD pass-through with HDR Video and Dolby Vision support, but also upgraded my home entertainment system from 7.1 to 9.2-channel Dolby Atmos. ... Shortly after I purchased this OLED TV, I completed my 4K transformation by purchasing thru Amazon, the LG UP870 3D Ultra-HD Blu-Ray 4K Player and HDMI High Speed HDMI 2.0 18Gbps cables w/gold connectors (as I did with the OLED, I placed them in my “Wish List” box and waited for the prices to come down to where I felt comfortable buying them). ... I stated in my Amazon review for the LG player that the picture quality on older movie formats are noticeably better but the biggest difference is with older movies that have been upscaled to 4K. ... Good examples are the 4K Harry Potter box set and Pacific Rim. ... With this player however, 4K upscaling dramatically improves the details, colors and darks in a way that now I feel like I am viewing these films for the first time since I saw them in a movie theater. ... In fact, this entire 4K movie experience has forced me to seriously think about changing out my favorite action movies to 4K (if available). ... BTW, movies made in 4K (Wonder Woman, Black Panther, etc) look and sound freakin’ amazing! ... Side note, I also connected my 4K Apple TV into the entertainment system so now with Dolby Vision capability, another ++plus when using this console to watch movies , TV shows and play games. ... In summary, with the purchases of this OLED TV, Yamaha AVENTAGE Receiver, LG HD 4K player, high speed connectors and the Klipsch w/Dolby ATMOS speaker system, I may have finally reached my home entertainment nirvana. ...

Incredible pictures, in 4K HDR, with the depths of the jungle revealed through the OLED screen as I have never seen on any TV. ... "
