However, HDR10 is and will continue to be for the time being the most widely recognized and used Dynamic HDR available across all platforms

Where as current HDR TV's are only able to play HDR10 through HDMI (I'll talk on LG in a bit), this HDMI 2.1 allows for Dynamic HDR to be played by HDMI sources

Another change is the introduction of "Active HDR", which is supposed to improve HDR10 sources and mimic the dynamic properties of how dynamic HDR works

X, Quick Media Switching, and the ability to play Dynamic HDR through HDMI

As stated above, HDMI 2.1 introduces dynamic HDR by HDMI to TV's, however, LG is the only major TV company (not sure on Vizio) that has a leg up on the competition by having the Dolby Vision HDR chip embedded on 2016, 2017, 2018 models

The sound on this TV is remarkable right out of the box

Maybe it’s because I’m upgrading from an older TV or don’t use a home theater system, but I thought the sound on the TV was better than some of the negative

The sound on this TV is also greatly improved from TVs of a few years back - definitely not like a sound bar or my home theater, but decent.

Sound is weak but you’re probably going to buy a sound bar because most tv makers punted on sound after plasma kicked the bucket

A soundbar was sufficient for this location's use, but it is definitely not comparable to a proper surround sound system for a home theater type installation

The screws are of poor quality and the head slots got rounded off easily with slight tightening

Poor sound quality and poor dialog intelligibility as is usual from built-in speakers

n’t break it.

Amazing picture quality, sounds great, a beautiful tv overall

They have all been trouble free with gorgeous picture quality.

The extra detail in dark areas of scenes, plus the added contrast between dark and bright/colored areas, result in a truly stunning display, especially with 4K material

The tv had excellent colors over, except for the color red

The colors are better, the uniformity is better, the menus are much snappier, and of course the contrast is equivalent to better

From reading other reviews, it seems that the processor doesn't necessarily create better colors, but instead creates better contrast between the color shades and brightness levels which in turn creates a better image as a whole

Alpha 7 uses a wide color spectrum while the Alpha 9 uses a more complex color table that contains more data points

In summary, once you get an OLED there just isn't any going back to LCD of any type, as the poorer contrast gives the image a washed out look that just bugs your eyes and gives you mental conniptions

While I loved the contrast and the AI operating system, the image clarity was very poor.

And when it comes to picture quality, contrast is VERY important.

HD SMART TV which works the same as it did the day I bought it.

I have replaced it with a Samsung UN8000 with outstanding clarity and decent contrast.

However, once this feature is disabled, and the rest of the picture tuning is completed, you’ll want to cry because you never knew a TV picture could look so incredible

I am still learning all the smart features but you don't need to know everything tojust watch TV

Granted, the picture quality is the best I ever had, I find the "smart" features lacking.

The smart features are nice as well, I couldn’t be happier

First, I don't use the smart features at all because I actually read the terms and conditions due to another review and they are awful.

If you buy it, buy it for the picture quality, and be ready to purchase a better Smart TV box or interface that you'll like better.

The LG smart remote interface with my Verizon cable box is also lacking, so I have to keep the Verizon remote nearby as well.

Premium price TV's need to have premium controls, not glitchy, clumsy controls with poor human interfaces and hard to understand instructions.

I also chose this version (instead of the more expensive E and W series) because all of them have the same video panel, meaning hey all have the same video quality, so there is no need to spend more

Interface and remote is really good...and surprisingly the sound is amazing.

and I would watch for the best price available

Beach had the best price and service and consumer reports did not do me wrong in rating the

If you are on edge wether to get an lcd at cheaper price or OLED

I also chose this version (instead of the more expensive E and W series) because all of them have the same video panel, meaning hey all have the same video quality, so there is no need to spend more

Good price

Although other TV companies may be able to get the DV software through an update as previously announced, LG's has had a leg up on the competition with DV support since 2016 on its integrated TV apps such as Netflix and Vudu when the content is available which looks spectacular

Very little 4k content available without add ons, Sports extreamaly rare in 4k, and most programs are still not available in 4k, so not getting full use of it

n’t break it.

If you are watching same content at home, it's just like the store display

n’t break it.

Love the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technology as well as it makes watching movies an amazing experience as if you're at the theater!

I am greeted with blaring loud static signal from my unconnected coaxial input

I often sit to the side of the TV in my recliner and the picture is as good as if I were sitting directly in front of the TV.

But this $3000 "smart" TV has for some reason taken to the opinion that I definitely want to see and hear the unfiltered static signal in all its 5.1 Dolby Digital glory

I had thought modern TVs were smart enough to recognize that no one, under any circumstances, has ever wanted to see or hear a static screen: my previous TVs (manufactured by TCL) never actually showed the infamous blaring snow signal, replacing it instead with a silent, blue screen if cable was not connected or if the signal was lost for a particular channel.

I often sit to the side of the TV in my recliner and the picture is as good as if I were sitting directly in front of the TV.

No horrible vertical banding

HD SMART TV which works the same as it did the day I bought it.

I have returned this tv twice, first one had 5 dead sub pixels and second had the worse banding I have ever seen on a tv

This has led to much improvement regarding dead pizels, banding, ghosting, and burned in images, some of the major problems with early Oled TV's

The colors really pop, especially in dark or night scenes.

I notified LG online support regarding my C8 OLED TV, and I sent photos showing the problem of light gray taking up 1/3-1/2 of screen during dark scenes (a pretty common issue with their panels)

I noticed right away during dark scenes and it's annoying

I also chose this version (instead of the more expensive E and W series) because all of them have the same video panel, meaning hey all have the same video quality, so there is no need to spend more

so I basically use the TV as a display/monitor which makes smart features less important to me.3rd, as a display, the picture is awesome if watching bright daylight scenes but any night scenes are often so dark you can’t see faces or background in the scenes

Note: I do NOT go to the level of viewing test patterns or other such, nor do I go up inches from the screen looking for dead pixels.

The best picture quality on a TV todayBad:After one week, the screen developed a bright blue pixel that would not shut off

TV is now two years old and fifty percent of the screen is green with dead pixels

Burn in issues, terrible uniformity, banding, and dead pixels every time.

I did a dead pixel test on YouTube (2:50 mins), and no dead pixels

For $3,000, it would've been nice to toss in an extra two or three feet of power cable, right?- One warning - if you run the pixel wiper (takes an hour or so), beware that the TV will turn itself ON after it is done

I spent hours and hours trying to get it to work, but it just straight up doesn't work

After an hour on the phone the blamed it on Amazon and told me to call them

After a very frustrating 2 hours of exploring and tweaking

It burned in again...same logos in the same place.

I put the LG logo dimming seting on high; it doesn’t effect the quality

Any station that has a static box on the screen can cause burn-in (CNN logo on the right side bottom and the breaking news bar on lower left side.

In summary, once you get an OLED there just isn't any going back to LCD of any type, as the poorer contrast gives the image a washed out look that just bugs your eyes and gives you mental conniptions

Very bright whites; kind of hurt my eyes

I also chose this version (instead of the more expensive E and W series) because all of them have the same video panel, meaning hey all have the same video quality, so there is no need to spend more

What an amazing TV, Sometimes the clarity is so sharp that it hurts your eyes

I also chose this version (instead of the more expensive E and W series) because all of them have the same video panel, meaning hey all have the same video quality, so there is no need to spend more
