This TV is super sick. The OLED technology is the best tech on the market. When parts of an image is black, it actually turns off individual pixels for super deep contrast. The colors are amazing too.
This TV looks amazing mounted above the fireplace. The screen portion is like a 1/4" thick. And the back is white for a clean look as well. We purchased a sound bar, but I was surprised how well the tv speakers sounded.... for well TV speakers.
This LG TV has well over 100 internet channels on it, we didn't even care we didn't have cable yet. LG App Store is nice to download streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and Amazon Video. Great for cable cutter people. It also has WebOS 3.0? I believe, to browse the internet.
Oh yeah, the magic remote is pretty handy too. It works like a wii remote (just move the remote around to move the curser on the screen.

This TV has everything, the image is wonderful, the sound is impressive in comparison to other TVs of the same price, the “Magic” remote control (that is its name) does the navigation through the menu and the smart functions a children's game, with a pointer that facilitates its functions, all images are displayed with intense colors and stunning clarity, but you are speechless when the source of the image is in HD, with 3 USB ports and 4 HDMI ports you have the ability to connect multiple peripherals at a time, also aesthetically I have no complaints, the screen is extremely thin, and the base with the internal components is not so large or wide, because its silver finish is visually very nice. The set up is very simple and totally guided, as a whole I have nothing against saying this LG tv, you can get for less than 2000 what you could get from other brands above 3000, and if you get it on sale, could be even better. My family and I are very happy with the purchase, my husband is very demanding with the image and sound of a tv, but he is the happiest with this tv.

I waited for this TV to go down in price. I told myself that if it dropped to $1500, I would buy it no question. Well, I had to put my money where my mouth was. After buying it, I immediately upgraded my Netflix to 4K ($13.99 at the time). I watched The first episode of The Punisher and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The picture was so vivid and detailed my eyes needed to adjust to the clarity. Perfect black levels were astonishing. The lights from the New York scenes were pretty intense. Two years later I still love it. I upgraded from a 2012 Panasonic plasma tv. Don’t laugh, that was the best tv hands down money could buy. From plasma to OLED.

Very happy with my purchase. I played Horizon Zero Dawn & just beautiful.
Fantastic for Gaming. Won numerous online team matches on platform, PS4 Pro. Literally from 4pm-7:50pm. Win streak on multiple matches.
HDR looks epic.
I really enjoy the Magic Remote & LG’s TV OS. It’s very user friendly. There is even a voice option if you need it. I connected my set top box to the magic remote with no problem.
Watching Star Trek Discovery as I write this review. So awesome.
Absolutely beautiful picture.
Definitely recommend.
I haven’t hung mine up yet. So right now it’s just on stand. It’s SUPER thin too.

Brought this awesome QLED TV for $779 at BESTBUY. I got it that cheap because it’s a floor model. Well worth it. TV just pops. I have it hung up on my wall in the living room. Very pleased with my purchase.

I’ve always been an LG fan and have purchased many of their products. This OLED TV looked magnificent when I first purchased it. Now 10 months in and there is a greenish circle that is appearing in the middle of the TV Screen. It’s really annoying to see. I’ve had to reach out to LG support to see what they are going to do about it. I didn’t pay this kind of money for these problems . Apparently it is an overheating issue they have had on this model. So buyers beware. If you get an older model like mine you’ll have the same problem.

Don’t buy LG or Geek Squad to protect it

A TV that gets easy screen burn-in and mine had a bad panel in less than one year. All they will do is replace the panel with Geek Squad and not the TV itself, so you get a nice refurb. Very dissatisfied with the additional money I paid for the Geek Squad service and I do not recommend others to purchase this service after my experience. Spend the money to send out a technician, install a panel on a 3 year old TV that may not even work. Then the TV gets swapped out anyway (Which it will) only puts Best Buy at negative loss revenue for this transaction and makes absolutely no set from a business perspective.

Hmm, Where to start?! This TV is the best I have seen Bar None! Here's my take. First off, Push the TV. What I mean is don't expect superior quality from Xfinity or DirecTv. Yes it does improve the stream but the source is not great to begin with.
BluRay and UHD are how you are going to see what its all about! I have the Hobbit trilogy in 1080p, and the TV upscales it to 4k HDR flawlessly! The picture is not washed out by Backlight Bleed like my LG LCD Nano cell. I had Lasik and so my eyes already tend to have a slight Halo around bright objects and the LED bleed made it even worse. With that being said, The Blacks are Black and dark scenes can sometimes be difficult to see details. Somebody call a Waaabulance right?
Next the colors are vibrant and full! The detail you get from the definition makes it feel like the characters are in the room with you. Every rock, blade of grass or and even finger prints of the actors hands can be seen!
The sound is ok Natively but, with a soundbar its outstanding! You can tell the difference between Dolby and Non Dolby streams immediately.
Lastly 4K gaming on my Xbox One X is ridiculous. The reaction time is faster than my LED and I can usually get the jump on people in TitanFall and COD. But DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT allow gaming images to linger on the screen as burn-in is a issue with OLEDs.
Go get this TV. Don't settle for LED, QLED, XLED or anything else. And a word to the wise, there is no difference between the picture quality of the B series vs. C series. Only a better native sound system but if you have a soundbar this is moot.

I did a fair amount of research and settled on the B7 and couldn't be happier. I actually like the look over the more expensive C7 so it was an easy decision to purchase the B7.
Overall the TV is fantastic! I use it for everything; TV, 4k UHD Blu-Ray, Gaming (One X and Switch) and every use is great. Picture and color is amazing and well worth the price.
The only thing I do not like is the remote, specifically the motion control and select button. The remote is too touchy and finicky.
A few things I will state. 1) Watch the unpacking video before you take it out of the box!!! 2) Upon first turning it on if you are not happy with the color give it some time - play with the settings and let it 'warm up'.

I have been a fan of LG ever since the introduction of the flat panel, wall hanging TVs couple of decades ago. When it came time for replacing my current set, it was a no brainier to look at the LG panels once again. The price was right, given the cost of OLED's had not changed much since its introduction and I went for it. The TV is slim, easy to set up, and works great with my current cable provider. The setting adjustments are very extensive, and the features are a far from few. The remote is a nice and simple tool, without useless buttons, and very easy to get used to. The picture is absolutely stunning. I really do not have much of anything negative to say, and highly recommend this set for anyone looking for an upgrade. I am including pictures of a BluRay DVD of Gentleman prefer blonds, played on my PS4 and the pictures taken with the iPhone 7. I can not describe how stunning the picture in person looks.

I did my research before buying this tv, just like you’re doing, and the reviews were impressive but you can’t really appreciate just how good the picture quality is until you bring it home, set it up, and watch your shows on it. It may sound gimmicky since it’s mentioned over and over again but the blacks on this tv are amazing. The contrast that produces really makes things pop.
Just a note, when you first turn the tv on you will have to play around with the picture settings. Out of the box, at least in my experience, the picture was too dark and the backlight was dimmed too much, but you can easily fix this by toying around with the power savings setting and the picture mode.
If you’re looking for a new tv this should be a pretty simple choice, and the prices have dropped so much that it’s easier to justify.

I did a lot of research before I purchased. However once I saw the
OLED, it all flew out the window. What a picture. You feel as if you are right there. Since I only buy TVs every so often I wanted something that could take me there at least for a few years. I was fortunate to have gotten it during a sale so it was affordable. (that term is relative) One thing though with those skinny TVs, a sound bar is a must. I bet it would be unbelievable for gaming.

This is without a doubt the best tv I have ever owned. I upgraded from a High End Samsung Plasma and just was not impressed by the black levels of the LED tv’s until OLED came out. The TV makes even lower resolution content look miles apart from any other TV. I’ve heard that the Sony sets have better motion processing, but I have yet to have an issue viewing fast moving content, including gaming. Speaking of which, a PS4 Pro playing 4K HDR games is absolutely amazing. Absolutely worth the price.

I'm having a bit of buyers remorse, to be honest. Its a nice TV. The picture is great. But it will never look as good as it does in the store. Time will tell if it was worth the money. I wanted as "close to the best" TV i could get in this size. Did I get it?? No idea.
I upgraded from 4k (non-HDR) to this guy. I dont have cable, I stream Netflix and have an xbox one x. The One X games look incredible. HDR is a game changer. I can't quite decide if 4k Netflix streaming matches the quality of 4k Blu, but it looks good. I'm also unclear if Netflix takes advantage of HDR or not. It says Dolby Atmos w/ certain programs, so I suppose thats a yes. The Last Jedi on 4k blu didn't quite blow me away like I expected, but I will say again that the Xbox looks great w/ the right games. The video source is obviously a big piece of the display quality.
As stated above, HDR is fantastic for gaming -- but its confusing to set-up. The TV doesnt explain picture settings well. There's no manual and no way of telling you what Picture settings are good for what outside of the broad characterizations of "cinema", "cinema (dark), "gaming" labels. I consider myself technically proficient, but calibration isn't easy or straightforward. To enable the HDR for xbox one x, for instance, you have to dig pretty deep into the menus. Its not even labelled as "HDR: On/Off", its called something else. The first time I turned on the Xbox one X, it said my TV didnt support HDR at all. Minor panic attack.
When you launch an HDR game, the tv recogonizes it and puts you in a different picture mode altogether. My TV goes from the "gaming" setting, which is admittedly darker, to bright and clear HDR based on the content. I guess thats nice.
Smart TV functions are pretty easy to use. I havent dug super deep though. The remote has what is essentially a pointer, which is very cool, but I can't figure out how to turn it off (again -- no manual). I haven't tried voice features yet, nor am I super interested in them. My cat is mesmerized by the remote's pointer.
I'm happy with it, I'm not going to return it, its just --- in the age of 55+ inch 4k TVs under 600 dollars, I just dont know if it was worth spending 2-3x as much on this thing. General buyers guilt I guess. Ask me again in a year.

I have been wanting an OLED TV since I first saw them years ago but they were always so expensive. And $1600 is no small penny either but compared to all the other OLED TVs out there is was the least expensive by at least $500. I love everything about it. The colors are great and the absolute blacks create great pictures especially when I’m gaming.

This TV is AMAZING!!! I was going to purchase a Sony 55 HDR non OLED. The Best Buy Rep showed me the OLED and I was hooked.
This TV blows away any TV I have ever owned... I paired it with the Sonos Soundbar, Sub and two satellites....Also included the Sony 4k player... AMAZING!!! I felt like I got upsold at first.. but man Im glad he took the time to show me... cost me about $700 more then I would have paid but it is worth it. OLED is the only way to go.. and LG is a great choice.
