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

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

HDR10 works by applying one set of HDR rules across the entire movie or episode, where as Dynamic HDR can change settings and HDR rule sets from scene to scene, thus the word Dynamic

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

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

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

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.

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

Amazing picture quality, sounds great, a beautiful tv overall

Bad quality

n’t break it.

I now realize LG put the cheapest - lowest quality components outside of the picture.

If you are looking for the best quality picture in a 4K HDR TV, then you need to buy this OLED TV

Literally all other colors were great until red came on screen

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

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

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

Red looks blood orange, and lacks the rich ruby color

I do realize they are coming out with 8k here shortly, but I don't think a lot of us will be willing to fork over that kind of money until the prices become reasonable.

Amazing service and price

To my surprise a seller by the name of OnlyNewTV had the 65” version of the C8 for an unbelievable price

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

and I would watch for the best price available

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.

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

n’t break it.

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

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

This is from the LG website:On the LG OLED TV, any risk of burn-in or image retention have been addressed through the use of technology that not only helps protect against damage to the screen, but features self-healing properties so that any short-term image retention that may occur is quickly rectified.-You can use the remote like a microphone

Smart features are good, but 4K playback freezes occasionally on some apps and many useful apps are missing.

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 couldn't tell the difference, but it...felt nice to have that option I guess?I don't use the smart features at all, so I can't comment on them

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

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

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

n’t break it.

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

n’t break it.

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

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

Be sure you have Dolby Vision or HDR content to run on this to really appreciate the quality (upgrade your Netflix plan!), although even 1080p content looks great

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 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.

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

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.

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

No horrible vertical banding

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

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

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)

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

Those who use mainly 4K should love this tv...great blacks for dark scenes

However, when fast action happens in a darker scene on the TV it can pixelate or judder to the point where you can't ignore it

Y*****e, and Amazon Prime was intuitive

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

Very bright whites; kind of hurt my eyes

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

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.

From what I gather, you should expect a little vertical banding to be present and even a few dead pixels

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

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

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

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

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

After a very frustrating 2 hours of exploring and tweaking

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

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.

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