I have a LG GX in my movie room. The real difference with OLED is in the contrast. I tell people all the time on here that brightness does not equal detail. HDR content sometimes takes a sharp eye to tell the difference and you’re less likely to notice those differences if you leave your tv on dynamic or sports modes (both are always over bright and saturated)

Came from an X900F to CX and the contrast blew me away.  The X900 had decent HDR and good peak brightness, but the difference is night and well, actual daylight.  That said, you really need to have a dark or very dim room to get the most out of OLED, even the newest models will struggle somewhat in a brightly lit room.  As far as streaming content, it depends on where you stream whether they provide 4k/HDR or if you have to pay extra.  I know Netflix made you pay extra to get the additional picture quality.  I usually just rent movies because I don't watch them often enough to justify the expense.

As for motion handling, this one is super subjective.  I can see artifacts / stutter at times (slowly scrolling horizontal text is super obvious) but it's rare enough that it's a non-issue for me.  I will say the LG sets have pretty good control over motion handling, and you can tweak and peak to minimize stutter without inducing the soap opera effect too much.  Really in the eye of the beholder though, it bothers some people a lot, some never even notice.

&#x200B;

So yea, I was definitely impressed, and I was coming from a pretty capable set.  Try to go to an actual showroom if you've got one in your area so you can see the picture in better lighting than on display in a brightly lit warehouse.  Hope this helps!

2 days ago I upgraded from a Sanyo POS to my first OLED (LG BX)

The difference alone is night any day is picture quality and the most unexpected quality to come out of everything was the built in sound quality.  I don’t have surround sound In my home but it feels pretty damn close now.

You're using words like 'wow' and 'quality' in the same sentence while not mentioning the changes from a dark plasma to a bright LCD.  To me "quality" is the accurate representation of what the director wanted, and 'wow' is the color/brightness 'pop' that certain brands are famous for.  There is absolutely no 'pop' or eye searing brightness in the HDR or DV specs.  Blade Runner 2049 is a great example: dark, muted colors overall (but well thought out), just an occasional 'obvious' use of color to highlight some aspect of a character/scene, and excellent textures.  But Dead Pool (esp. outdoor scenes) and Forza Horizon 4 are also HDR, very different uses of the HDR tool kit.

I suspect your expectations are personal rather than quantifiable, no offense, it's a personal purchase especially given the cost.

I'd go through some expert reviews on both styles, compare their measurements with your current TV's measurements, and use that to make an informed decision.  There are clear pros and cons to both technologies so make sure you find a few for both LCD and OLED.

I never knew what HDR really does until I bought an OLED. It’s the bright, punchy and balanced picture we always hoped for, added to the amazing quality of OLED.

If you care for PQ, you will see the difference, believe me. The demos in the store are very true, this is what you will get at home. A couple of days ago I was shopping for a new TV (sadly it had to be an LED for our bright living room), none of the TVs came close to the gorgeous C1 that was beside them. 

I settled for a Sony X950h, although it is Sony’s top of the line LED tv, has great colors and HDR capabilities, but the OLED is still the uncontested king of colors and contrast.

For me personally nothing blew me away after moving from LED to OLED. And yes, Dolby Vision tend to look really dark on OLED too. You need to remember one thing, main advantage of OLED are true blacks, but in reality most movies dont even have true blacks, when was the last time you seen something really really black in real life? Almost everything that you as "black" is not "true black" but many different shades of really dark grey. My recommendation is to not buy on hype. If you are really curious, buy one at amazon or somewhere you can easily return, try different movies for 2 weeks, decide if you like how picture looks like and then decide if to keep it or return.

I have a new 6 series TLC in my living room and they are not great with fast motion. I have a LG GX in my movie room. The real difference with OLED is in the contrast. I tell people all the time on here that brightness does not equal detail. HDR content sometimes takes a sharp eye to tell the difference and you’re less likely to notice those differences if you leave your tv on dynamic or sports modes (both are always over bright and saturated). Also, LG has several modes to eliminate judder. I’ve found that cinema smooth works best for me and it’s barely perceivable 99% of the time.

Hello,

I am beginning to look at upgrading our bedroom tv which is a TCL p6017 (2017). Its been a solid tv. I currently have the TCL r635 (QLED) in the living room. It's solid enough as well. Before the r635 I had a Panasonic st60 plasma, input lag was just too much as my kiddo plays switch and we ended up getting rid of it.

I have some concerns and I guess expectations that I worry won't be met by upgrading to an OLED/A8H/CX/etc.

My first concern is that other than the specific YouTube HDR demo's, HDR has never wowed or impressed me in the slightest with its regular streaming content (Disney/netflix/etc.) as well as gaming; Forza Horizon 3 with Dolby Vision looks dark and dull on Xbox One X on my p607. Like last nights episode of Loki is so dim and dull with the p607. In both my 2017 and 2020 TCL tv's HDR has been overly dark even with gamma set at 1.8. SDR content looks fine I guess but I'm just not getting any "wow" from either of these sets on HDR or SDR. At times they can look really good with the right content, usually animated movies with color setting cranked but nothing where I'm like "ok now this is looks amazing!". My question is will an OLED really be that noticeable of a difference in quality based on primarily streaming SDR/HDR? Will it produce that WOW factor everyone talks about or are my expectations too far out of wack? Or should I just go with an u8g and save $500-600?

My second concern is motion/stutter. My p607 in the bedroom is a 60hz tv so stutter wasn't much of an issue. When I got my r635 in the living room I was in for quite a shock with the stutter. Did not expect it to look so terrible on a 120hz tv. The r635 motion adjustments are minimal at best and I'm basically stuck with a bit too much soap opera effect than I'd like and still have stutter. And this worries me about OLED because its said to be even worse. But I've heard Sony has the best motion out of all OLEDs and a lot more adjustments to fine tune the motion.

And then my third concern is I guess burn in but coming from a ST60 which got image retention immediately I kind of know what to expect and my gaming isn't nearly what it used to be.

Any insight to the above would greatly be appreciated from anyone that is coming from or can compare their LED tvs they own or had against their OLED.

Thanks again

The move from LED to OLED. True WOW factor?

Made for movie buffs, gamers and sports fanatics, LG's most popular OLED in its premium lineup of TVs is even more impressive with brighter colors, a new, more advanced processor and sleek, slim bezel. It makes a great gaming monitor as well—you'll get low input lag and fast response times with Auto Low-Latency Mode and HGiG compliance, with four HDMI 2.1 connections for consoles, PCs, and sound systems. Stream your games with cloud gaming support for GEFORCE Now. Control your TV and connected devices by voice with support for Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, HomeKit, and many more (separate device may be necessary). LG's 4K smart TV includes built-in access to Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, Paramount+, Peacock, YouTube TV, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and more (requires service subscription). *Brighter vs. traditional WRGB OLED panel used in the B and A OLED series and similar sized conventional LG OLED models not including 42-inch, 48-inch C2. **Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. ***Depending on installation environment, there may be a slight gap between the TV and the wall.

The best 55-inch upper mid-range TV is the LG OLED55C2PUA. Like the top two TVs on this list, it's a premium TV with an OLED panel that delivers stunning picture quality, especially in dark rooms. OLEDs are unique because they can turn individual pixels off, resulting in a near-infinite contrast ratio for perfect blacks in dark rooms, and there isn't any blooming around bright objects either. It also has a wide viewing angle that makes the image remain consistent from the side, which is ideal if you have a wide seating area as everyone sees the same image.

Its fantastic reflection handling and good SDR peak brightness make it a good choice if you want to use it in a well-lit room. It has decent HDR peak brightness that makes small highlights stand out and respects the content creator's intent. Unfortunately, it uses an older type of OLED panel than the Samsung S95B OLED and the Sony A95K OLED, so colors aren't as bright and vibrant overall, but they still look good.

If you want something a bit cheaper than the Samsung QN55S95BAFXZA, check out the LG OLED55C2PUA instead. It's a premium TV with excellent overall picture quality thanks to its OLED panel. It delivers a similar experience to the Samsung S95B OLED, but it uses a different type of OLED panel, and colors aren't as bright and vibrant overall. It has a user-friendly webOS smart platform that makes it easy to stream your favorite content without spending extra on external streaming devices.

It's a versatile TV that delivers an outstanding experience no matter how you use it. It has a huge selection of extra features. It supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and 4k @ 120Hz gaming on all four of its HDMI ports, making it a great choice for gamers. It also supports FreeSync and G-SYNC, and thanks to its near-instantaneous response time, games look incredible, with no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects.

 Like any OLED, it has a near-infinite contrast ratio that results in perfect black levels. Because OLEDs also turn each pixel on and off, it doesn't have a local dimming feature, as there's no backlight. There's no blooming around bright objects either, and it looks fantastic in dark rooms. On the other hand, if you want to use the TV in a bright room, then a high peak brightness is important to overcome glare

 It's not anything special for TV speakers, but it's not bad either. It doesn't produce much bass, which is normal for a TV. It doesn't get as loud as the LG C1, but it's still loud enough for a noisy room. However, if you want the best sound possible, get a soundbar or invest in a proper surround sound setup

 We'll start with the contrast. A high contrast ratio results in deep, dark blacks, which is good if you want to watch movies in a dark room like a home theater environment. Like any OLED, it has a near-infinite contrast ratio that results in perfect black levels.

 The biggest knock to it is that the TV feels wobbly on the stand, but this obviously isn't a problem if you wall mount it. Now onto our test results. We'll start with the contrast.

LG C2 OLED TV Review - Should you buy it?

Replaced my 65" OLED B7a from 2017 with a 77" C2 and I've been running it for a week as of now. The picture quality after calibration has improved over the older model. I feel the black levels on this device are far far better than the B7a ever were, which BTW required a lot of "tinkering" to get to what the C2 did pretty much out of the box. My old OLED had no burn-in that I could see, even after 5 years of daily usage, but the older OLED panel was never as uniform in solid colors test as this panel is, not even when the B7a was new

My old OLED had no burn-in that I could see, even after 5 years of daily usage, but the older OLED panel was never as uniform in solid colors test as this panel is, not even when the B7a was new. Especially watching dark scenes now, there is no fixed pattern noise anymore.  The scene motion on this TV is better what the B7a has, which was already good, but it had issues with some stuttering under certain conditions

Big step up from the OLED B7a, but the whole ads and data collection is concerning.

 The Rec 709 colour gamut is also accurate with some very slight red saturation errors and again our Delta E errors average 1.5 which is well below the visible threshold. With SDR film and TV content the LG C2 is excellent with superb black levels, accurate colour reproduction which is natural and vivid when required with lifelike skin tones adding realism to faces. Films look cinematic with excellent motion with 24 frames per second material with no induced judder or added motion blur that's not present in the content

 Blacks are strong with excellent just above black shadow detail retrieval thanks to the A9 Gen 5 processing which improves the performance coming out of black. Moving to HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision picture performance we see again an improvement this year from LG with the C2. The biggest bonus is the much better out of black performance with just above black shadow detail being far more noticeable with no issues of black flashing or blockiness. Motion is also improved with excellent 24 frames per second playback adding to the cinematic images on display with HDR content

Moving to HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision picture performance we see again an improvement this year from LG with the C2

 We'll start our pixel peeping with the panel uniformity of this retail sample C2 we purchased from a UK retailer. With a 5% black slide there are no obvious banding or vignetting present and it remains clean at all the way up to 100% full screen brightness. Video processing is excellent with the powerful new A9 Gen 5 processor serving up some much improved upscaling of low resolution sources to the panel's UHD native resolution. Lines are straight and free from ringing and fizzing with excellent detail retrieval and very few sharpening issues

LG C2 OLED Evo TV Review - Is this the best OLED package of 2022?

 But what is the C2 like? Well, I mean, it's more of the same It's fantastic I did play a quite a few different games on the LG C2 using my Xbox and I had a fantastic time The C2 is a 120 Hertz display and it supports VRR Free sync and g-sync. So whether you're connecting a console to it or you're connecting your gaming PC You're gonna have a pretty good time Now certain things that make this TV even better for gaming than last year are things like I mentioned earlier with the colors and the shadow Detail that could be a massive thing for a gamer and actually probably one of the only downsides of last year's C1 So the fact that that is so much better this year is a big positive the C2 might have shot itself in the foot I'll tell you why now one of the issues with gaming is something that LG have done And now I can't speak for the 42 inch I think this is gonna be where it really matters But something that only TVs have used for quite a while is something called BFI and that is black frame insertion I'm not gonna go massively into the technical aspect of what it is Basically in order to improve motion and because of how fast the input lag on this TV is It's about one millisecond and on to make sure the TV didn't just look horrendous and choppy and horrible They insert black frames between each frame now You shouldn't notice this while looking at it, but that actually weirdly works very very well now This apparently isn't supported anymore on the 48 inch nap I don't know about the 42 inch I'm yet to try one now the downside to doing that is that it can make the display Darker and if you're trying to get as much of the display out then you might drop that feature So maybe that's why they've done it, but you have to leave it with me for a long term few months down the road review Just to see whether that's something I think has affected me personally now What is the sound like now? The sound is fairly decent if you don't have a sound system, and you're just using it straight off of the TV It's gonna be okay now I would always recommend having an external sound system getting a subwoofer and everything like that just to take that sound to the next Level however if you're not fussed about having a super cinematic experience Then technically this will be fine. I think for most people and the day-to-day use You're not going to be that concerned about the sound. It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination It's just not amazing now They do have an AI sound Pro which enhances the sound and creates virtual surround sound which works Okay, and you can kind of see what they're doing with it And however, I do think it degrades the quality of the sound ever so slightly, but that's my own personal opinion So I would just recommend sticking with normal obviously we do have the ER port for HDMI and optical audio as well You can also use the TV speakers as well as an external sound system in order to enhance the sound even further and the TV continues It's Dolby support with having Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos So if you have a supported sound system, then you can use that to full advantage So LG create amazing Ola TVs and each year It just seems to be a step up and a step up and this is no exception This TV is fantastic for gamers
