" ... The new TV was easy to set up, has excellent built-in sound, produces a startlingly clear picture, has no noticeable pixel flaws, and produces much less heat (and, as a corollary, uses much less electricity) than the plasma. ... "
" ... The TV works great, picture not quite as good as I expected but it is still quite good. ... "
" ... Extremely sharp picture. ... "
" ... The Picture quality is amazing don't get me wrong, sound is good for TV speakers, but none of that matters if the TV doesn't work. ... "
" ... We love this TV and the picture is amazing . ... 2. it has multiple energy saving methods picture i leave off it dims the tv way to much but there is one for the HDD you can turn on when it has not been used in an hour it will turn off , There is also an energy saving method that is with powering the TV on "Standby" or turn that off and just use regular on and off . ... "
" ... Awesome picture with some great features. ... "
" ... Great picture and design. ... "
" ... Really a good tv, picture is great. ... "

" ... The contrast is amazing, the colors with HDR are amazing. ... "
" ... Perfect black levels make all other colors pop more than any backlit TV, and the clarity and contrast on this TV are unbeatable. ... "
" ... By default the image is not displaying the true colors of the source: "color temperature" must be set to "0" ... there are a good half-dozen algorithmic "enhancements" like dynamic contrast, dynamic color, and "true motion" that create weird artifacts ... brightness/contrast are boosted by default which ruins the gorgeous true blacks of OLED, HDR needs to be enabled on a per-input basis, etc. ... "
" ... The colors and black contrast is fantastic. ... "
" ... The black levels are as perfect as I can imagine and the brightness is plenty high. ... "
" ... The colors are rich and deep, and the contrast really is infinite (if you watch tv in a dark room with no reflections or glare off the screen. ... "
" ... The lightsare incredibly bright, the darks are so dark they're indistinguishable from the bezel, and the colors are mind-blowing. ... "
" ... Color and sound are both superb!! ... "

" ... I replaced a Samsung 65in 4K led television with this one. ... I can't wait to see what this tv can do with uhd 4K movies and the Xbox one X I have preordered. ... "
" ... Reminds me of my old (deceased) Samsung Plasma 1080p. ... --- Realistic picture most of the time, it is rather subjective, but I find the OLED to be more natural, the 4K LED looks more noticeably artificial. ... Most 4K TVs seem to have changed their anti glare tactics, because they do not want to filter the sharpness of the screen, so the glare is worse than older sets. ... "
" ... My Apple TV 4K looks great and so does my ps4. ... Watch the original Indiana Jones movies in Blu-ray and even these older movies looked outstanding with excellent depth and color. ... "
" ... The level of detail that is amazing and the 4K UHD movie I watched on it looked better than when I saw it in the theatre. ... "
" ... I had a 3-year-old 4k Sony TV before I bought this, but decided to pull the trigger to get OLED’s perfect blacks, HDR and H265 streaming. ... I can stream Amazon movies and TV that are in 4k HDR (through the Xbox as the PC and PS4 don’t have the capability yet) and they look fantastic in 4k HDR (was watching Man In High Castle, just amazing) ... Yes 4K is a lot of money, but it’s cheaper and better (IMHO) then Q-LED’s. ... And do yourself a favor, buy the Planet Earth II 4K HDR disks (assuming you have something that can play them), it’s like nothing you have ever seen. ... "
" ... 4K DVD movies are so superior, it is difficult to describe. ... Just remember the day you saw your first 1080P display after watching the old 480 square screens – it’s like that. ... HDR is an amazing technology. ... My HDR enabled DVD player amped up the highlights – well worth the money. ... "
" ... It's simply stunning to watch a Ultra 4K, or Dolby Vision movie on it. ... "
" ... The TV apps are easy to navigate and I especially like YouTube's 4K content. ... "

" ... Still use older plasma screen, but this thing has a wow factor. ... "
" ... OLED is the best screen technology out there. ... "
" ... After seeing an oled on display I priced at $3000 for a 55 inch I started researching and started looking for a bigger screen with a cheaper price. ... You will get some kind of message telling you that your tv make support better viewing options and to change setting in your tv to apply them. ... If you have a regular back lit led tv and thinking of upgrading, just do it. ... "
" ... OLED is the way to go. ... "
" ... I was able to install on bracket I had used for a smaller flat screen, but this TV was much lighter and worked well. ... "
" ... Not only does this tv somehow manage to display even deeper blacks, it's also brighter and more colorful. ... "
" ... I replaced an 8 year old 55" LCD TV with this one. ... "
" ... On an OLED, what's clouding? ... "

" ... Sound is surprisingly good for a flat screen TV. ... "
" ... We've had this TV now for three weeks, and the picture and sound are nothing short of phenomenal. ... I'm assuming that it works as what we hear is very life-like. ... Although in totally white scenes there is some minor reddish tint to the sides, for all practical purposes the picture is, like the sound, life-like. ... But if you want the best picture with excellent sound, spend the extra $ if it's in the budget. ... "
" ... With regards to the TV sound, it's great for us. ... "
" ... Our last flat screen was difficult to hear and had to turn the volume way up, but this tv has much better sound quality. ... "
" ... --- Sound is decent and solid but will benefit from being hooked up to a stereo system. ... --- Sound syncing issues with some situations, depends. ... "
" ... I expected that, but was pleasantly surprised with how good the sound from the TV is. ... No need for a sound bar unless you're going to add a sub-woofer and go for that theater effect. ... But that's not what I needed or wanted so the TV sound is just fine. ... "
" ... The E series has a better build quality and aesthetics, and adds a sound bar. ... "
" ... I was concerned about the sound, but the OLED55C7P has a great audio system—much better than my 2010 Samsung. ... "

" ... it's because the TV stopped working. ... To be continued . ... "
" ... That excuse is years old. ... "
" ... This TV the only thing has done is give problems. ... "
" ... I bought a brand new OLED55C8PUA TV from Amazon which immediately had an issue as soon as I powered it up while still in the box (thin vertical gray line that wouldn't go away)! ... I need this TV to run a slew of tests with and needed a replacement ASAP. ... I bought a frickin' BRAND NEW TV, and I needed it NOW, not a couple months later! ... "

" ... The television itself offers all the specs I was looking for, packaged in a very stylish frame. ... "
" ... The most notable feature, of course, is the infinite contrast ratio, which reveals detail in even the darkest scenes, and adds a satisfying dramatic flair to scenes that fade to black. ... "
" ... But when I saw them in person, the OLED's really do look stunning. ... "
" ... The ability to have total absolute black is stunning. ... Not a toy like stand like many LEDs. ... "

" ... Used amazon services for delivery and basic install. ... "
" ... Set up was easy and I was up and going in about 30 minutes working through the settings. ... "

" ... Remote has a pointer option where you just point the remote at the screen and it acts like a mouse. ... "
" ... Remote keyboard and mouse would be nice someday. ... "
" ... I can do everything through the one remote provided(almost everything). ... "
" ... Built in Bluetooth works great with my wireless headphones, and the built in buttons on the remote for Netflix and Amazon are perfect. ... "
" ... The inclusion of dedicated Netlfix and Amazon Prime Video buttons on the remote are inspired. ... "
" ... I also love the fact that the Magic Remote has allowed me to (for the most part) consolidate all my various remote controls into one. ... "
" ... The IR remote can actually be used as a pointing device, which was very useful when using the browser. ... "

" ... You will have to try all the Dolby sample videos and OLED picture galleries to really see the video and hear the audio, then if you find 4K movies that were designed to use the LG OLED Dolby Video and the Dolby ATMOS audio you will be blown away. ... But even if its a Utube Video or over the air HD, this is a great general purpose TV and with the WEBOS 3.5 Linux operating system it is a pleasure to use. ... "
" ... I had to watch a YouTube video to enable settings on the tv to take advantage of the best viewing possible. ... "
" ... My viewing pleasure is PHENOMENAL, especially for sports and HD or UHD movies! ... "
" ... Movies and video games look amazing. ... "

" ... It is breathtaking when you see your first real 4K videos. ... The absolute best of these and the basis for 90% of all of the stunning 4K videos is the Youtube app. ... Get it and look for the thousands of 4K files. ... There are many 4K videos to watch, but very few really, really stunning. ... Netflix has a load of HDR content and some good 4K shows and films, but the real demo-quality stuff is on Youtube . ... "

" ... Playing games has been quite good as well. ... "
" ... I've played games for hours on end and have yet to experience anything, though some of that could be due to most modern gaming consoles having screen savers when the game is at rest/paused, eliminating the issue. ... If you enjoy gaming, and want to experience it without turning up the brightness in game setting every time, this is the TV for you. ... "

" ... Great hassle to return ... "
" ... I asked for a replacement from the Seller, but they no longer had any more in stock and said they would issue me a refund if I shipped it back (I would pay for shipping fees). ... So I went through the process of submitting my receipt for the team to go through the approval process and to begin the replacement of my TV. ... However, as I needed a replacement ASAP, I decided to decline the return as the LG rep assured me that I would be getting a replacement which would only take a couple of days. ... I told them that the C/S rep told me that a tech visit was NOT required, hence my decision to NOT return the TV back to the seller and thus decline the prepaid shipping fees to return the unit back to the seller. ... The LG supervisor simply would not budge when I asked for a replacement. ... I told them, "so instead of just replacing my TV, you'd rather have me return the unit and purchase a TV from another manufacturer, am I hearing this right?" ... "
" ... Between the seller and Amazon, they agreed to come get my defunct TV - with a full refund! ... The refund took only 24 hrs. ... "
" ... Now I have a quandary--do I return either or both items. ... I'm returning the TV and will look to one of the other brands now. ... "
