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
However, HDR10 is and will continue to be for the time being the most widely recognized and used Dynamic HDR available across all platforms
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
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
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
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
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 remarkable right out of the box
LG sound quality on this level of tv is pathetic!!
The TV is amazing with unmatched picture quality for sure
The screws are of poor quality and the head slots got rounded off easily with slight tightening
n’t break it.
I suspect that for most people this TV will end up being a "dumb" TV with unmatched picture quality and you will need to buy accessories to make it smart
Literally all other colors were great until red came on screen
Alpha 7 uses a wide color spectrum while the Alpha 9 uses a more complex color table that contains more data points
The colors and luminescence on this device are absolutely great
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 tv had excellent colors over, except for the color red
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
LG's WebOS smart TV interface is well designed, intuitive, and speedy
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
n’t break it.
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.

Blacks are black, but so is a lot else, the contrast and brightness are not good with any of the factory presets
While I loved the contrast and the AI operating system, the image clarity was very poor.
HD SMART TV which works the same as it did the day I bought it.
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
I have replaced it with a Samsung UN8000 with outstanding clarity and decent contrast.

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
If u plan to regularly switch off stations (I.e. hourly) with static contents, then u might be ok.
The picture quality is really that amazing if you have the right equipment and content --
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.

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
Those who use mainly 4K should love this tv...great blacks for dark scenes
Y*****e, and Amazon Prime was intuitive
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

Very bright whites; kind of hurt my eyes

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
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 a very frustrating 2 hours of exploring and tweaking

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