Customer Ratings & Reviews

This tv initially looked amazing. Movies and video games had never looked better. Then after 2 weeks, I started noticing random single pixels were stuck showing bright green. I attempted to screen refresh and restart the tv but no luck. Its unacceptable to spend nearly 2,000 on a tv for it to start having pixels go bad after 2 weeks. I will return and consider another brand. LG let me down on this one.

I just can’t believe how good this tv looks . I was doing my research and this one always poped up as the #1 & constantly the people at magnolia will tell me. Months passed I bought a Samsung for living room and bought one for brother. Now it was time for my room! It was coming down to the Sony 900e or Samsung q9. I went to Best Buy and I ran into the lg c8 & I was just like “my god” !!!! I had the Best Buy guy go on YouTube n stuff. So I just told myself 200$ more I can own the best looking tv in the market . So I did it! Brought it home easy to set hooked it up turned on Netflix blue planet just freaking amazing how the oled just pops!!!! Especially in blacks with colors. I put on guardians of the galaxy... blown out this world! I just never seen a tv produce such colors and clarity . Turned on my ps4 started red dead and the tv detects it . Goes into hdr deep colors automatically!!!! Like the tv is super smart and controls my comcast plus menus. I just can’t explain how amazing it is. I love the menu how you can use the remote like a mouse and zoom into the screen what ever Area you want . It’s just destroys Samsung in my opinion . I’m a Sony guy I almost went with the Sony oled cause I just love Sony but this year tv’s look like they didn't try. LG JUST super surprised me. You don’t hear that much about LG??? It almost feel like a pc tv lol. And I read that Sony and Samsung Buy their panels from LG. The menus & apps and just the smartness of the tv is so good. This replaced my old Sony Bravia I had for 11 years . The only thing that worries me is the burn ins I hear about . I haven’t experience anything but I also bought 2 year warranty . But that only happens if you leave it on for super long on static still images. But I took the risk this Beuty is just out of this world. The sound is good has a lot of options to enhance it, all 4 inputs support full bandwidth . All we need now is are tv providers to start broadcasting 4K content live tv!!! And I also lower the brightness and backlight on my tv because that’s just how I am I think about my eyes lol and the LG IS STILL AMAZINGLY crazy looking & I believe that also expands tv life. Maybe these burn ins are all from people having them on super brightnesss and leaving them on with their game systems on????? OLED IS the future. Each tv will have its flaws . If I ever do experience a burn in I’ll live.

I'm following up on my previous review because the situation changed. It seems after a compensation cycle the clouding I had on the left of the screen is vastly improved. I wanted to post a new 5% grey photo. I think if you really look closely at both photos you can see the banding is essentially the same but the clouding or whatever is nearly gone, although it does still darken noticeably on the left side. I'm putting the photo from day 1 with the severe fade to black issue second so you can try to compare. These are s8 shots with a mostly blacked out room. The TV is stunning in most scenarios, as most OLEDs seem to be. It seems to really struggle with old SD content and with animated motion on dark backgrounds like star fields. Mostly it's jaw dropping with 4k HDR content, but that should kind of go without saying.

** Setup ** Setting up the TV was extremely quick and simple. While I was able to put everything together myself, I would recommend having someone help you (the TV isn't that heavy, but its size makes it awkward). The included remote is similar to a motion controller (think Nintendo Wii controller), so you can quickly navigate through menus. Some of the included apps that I frequently use are: Netflix, Hulu, and Google Play Movies (updating and logging into each app was very quick), so there's very little need for a streaming stick/device. The built-in WiFi is very fast and is capable of connecting to 5GHz networks. ** 4K Content ** Our 4K movies looks incredible on the new LG TV. Since our internet is fast enough to support it, even 4K content from Netflix and Google Play Movies looks just as amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend going to your local Best Buy to see the TV in person (they usually have a nice demo running so you can see how well the colors look). ** Non-4K Content ** Even viewing non-4K content through our cable box, HD channels still look great. Animated movies (such as Coco or Finding Dory) look fantastic. Even games on my PS4 (I haven't traded in my old PS4 for a PS4 Pro yet) look really good. ** Supported Apps ** Some of the popular apps that I'm sure many people will use are available on the TV right out of the box (or available from the LG app store): Netflix, Hulu, Sling TV, Starz, Showtime, Google Play Movies, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube (and YouTube Kids), Vudu, and MLB.TV. There is also a built-in web browser, but it's a little slow to load content, so I would just stick to your phone/tablet/laptop. ** Speakers ** I'm really impressed with the quality of the built-in speakers, they can get pretty loud and still sound pretty clear. I still prefer to use my sound bar and subwoofer, but if you don't currently have a theater system or sound bar, the built-in speakers will do a decent job until (or if) you buy a new theater system. ** BOTTOM LINE ** When compared to the other manufacturers, I prefer LG displays, and the new C8PUA Series are outstanding and seriously worth looking at in your local Best Buy.

Replacing a Samsung 40" from 10 years ago. I originally bought the Sony 55" 900X which looked cloudy to me and exchanged for this beautiful 55" C8. Taking it out of the box its FRAGILE. Its not extremely heavy buy you should definitely get a hand to help you and lift from the bottom not anywhere near the top glass. Very easy to assemble the table stand, 3 pieces and just a screwdriver will do. The remote is very impressive. I really gotta thank LG for including the adapter for the 3 prong adapter for the tv in the box. I have Direct TV and ordered the upgraded box but I wont have it for a week so the adapter included was a save for me allowing me to enjoy watching right away. The picture is absolutely beautiful, clear, and looks very impressive. Sound isnt bad but not very loud and does point downward towards front mount. Sounds pretty good. I set up with my wifi and did the 3 updates. Id would like to have known what they were for out of curiosity. Set setting to more my liking and watched an action movie and it looked awesome! I haven't ran any pixel tests but Im extremely happy with this TV and hope to have it for as long as my previous 10 years. I alway buy the most possible extended warranty as it has saved me before on a previous model. Two photos of panels for hook ups :)

This TV really is excellent... its incredibly bright, wide range of vivid colors and makes even my 1080p video look the best I've ever seen... I was a bit afraid to mount it on the wall because its so thin, but it went just fine. Also, I was surprised how well the remote works... I have a harmony remote I mainly use but find myself using the microphone on the remote and google assistant to find things on the TV's apps... It also has a very fast refresh rate for gamers! Great job LG... I highly recommend this TV!

Hi,I bought this tv on the 3/19/2019. Great picture and operating system.I paid 1,700 for it.Iam 58 so this tv is smarter than me lol. My wall studs are 16' on center,I got the wall mount FLF 118. Used figure E for back of tv,you can tilt it side to side or up and down or push it in and out or slide it back and forth. I Bought a surge protector also. I called comcast to get hd most shows are great. I had to sync the x-11 comcast remote useing you-tube videos. Hope some of this info helps!

I upgraded from a 2015 Sony 4K TV. I can see a big difference in the picture. Decided to go with the OLED technology and feel it is worth the change. Wanted to stay with Sony brand but price gap vs. LG was too large. Only time will tell if LG delivers consistent performance like I have experienced with Sony. Retired 2015 Sony to bedroom to replace Samsung that went bad after 5 years.

Bought this TV several weeks ago to replace an older Sony 48" HD LCD set that gave up on us after a mere 7 years and one fix under warranty. The brightness and quality of the image is off the charts when watching anything in 4K. Rest of TV viewing is fine but tough to compete with that 4K image. We watch primarily sports, movies, and some XBOX One gaming. Madden 19, OMG. Only downside - glare might be more of an issue with this set than my last, tough to say until you live with it through all seasons. Will not comment on sound as we go through home theater.

Our purchase of this tv was off to a rocky start. Our first delivery had a damaged pixel so we exchanged it. Well, the second one had 2 damaged pixels. We exchanged it for a final time, and everything has been perfect ever since. The picture is beautiful, of course. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we heard the sound quality. No sound bar needed. The system is clear and easy to navigate. The remote is awesome! It acts as a cursor, which makes using apps super easy. The screen itself is super thin. It looks nice and sleek (that was a perk we didn’t even consider when choosing this tv). We noticed how nice it looked when we set it up in our living room. It is pricey but it is everything we hoped for in a tv and more. I’d buy a couple more for the rest of the house if I could!

I will admit that I thought I was making a HUGE mistake in purchasing this EXPENSIVE TV in which I really didn't need because I own a perfectly good working Samsung 55" LED HD 4K SMART TV that's not even an year old yet, but when I went to Best Buy just to pick up a few smart light bulbs, I walked through the TV area just to see if that same Samsung tv that I bought from them was still being displayed. It was! I was saying to myself I made a good choice buying it last year although the price fell a bit now. But my eyes caught the LG 55" OLED C8 Series..oh man! I couldn't believe my eyes! The color, the depth, the sharpness how real the picture looked...I had to take a closer look! How thin the screen was on this set was mind blowing! I knew that I had to have it, but the price snapped me back to reality.. almost $2k!!!! I said to myself, " there's no way that I'm getting that TV this year, not unless they dropped the price over a Black Friday event. Even then, I would probably walk away. But the friendly sales associate came over to me as I was just about to leave and asked me what I didn't like about their best selling TV in the store and I honestly told her that I loved everything about it except for the price. Besides, I already had a perfectly good working Samsung LED HD TV at home that I just bought from them almost a year ago. She smiled and said "what if she could help me make it possible to where I could take their top of the line tv home today without paying a cent out of my pocket?" I looked at her and asked " Really? How? To make a long story short, with an excellent credit score and getting approved in their Best Buy super credit card program and the 0 interest for the first 2 years, I was out the door with this new awesome LG tv heading home thinking what was I going to do with my Samsung..I already have a TV in every bedroom of my home... but I'm loving this LG OLED with sports, movies and tv shows and have no regrets in my decision with this purchase. Folks, it's really worth the money if you're looking for a really good TV to watch in your home.

I had been hooked since I first saw them. I brought it home, got it hooked up, and my family's jaws dropped. I was afraid they might not go home. The color, the brightness, the clarity. I'm afraid to look at our old TV, as it might make me sick to think I didn't get one sooner. I used the YouTube interface and turned on a video about fish in the ocean for my grand daughter. It looked so clear, like we had an aquarium. I will be getting another one for our family room and for our bedroom. I never want to watch TV on anything less that the quality of this TV. Amazing!!

I decided it was time to upgrade from my 3D Samsung to 4K. The Samsung had given me great service I was ready to buy another. All my research pointed me to the QLED's. I went in to my Best Buy ready to purchase the Samsung, but was stopped. They had the Samsung QLED's and the LG OLED's side by side. Well, I instantly reconsidered my purchase decision. Make no mistake, the Samsung QLED's have bright and beautiful pictures. However, the OLED's have incredible contrast, natural looking colors, sharp and refined pictures. The dark images is where the OLED's really show their capabilities. In addition to the visual treat, I had an excellent Best Buy associate go over the features of the LG and answered all my concerns about OLED's. I purchased the LG and took it home. Setup of the TV is a breeze. You can specify your cable or satellite service so the LG remote can control the set top box. I have a Bose SoundTouch 300 connected to the TV and it uses the TV remote as well. Finally, one remote for everything. Now for some testing. So many movies have dark scenes and a lot of detail can be lost if the TV can't display it. I viewed the movie Gravity on the LG and was stunned. The amount of detail was amazing. I was concerned about the negatives I read about the OLED's screen burn in. However, LG does have technology in the TV that will prevent it. The TV is about a month old now and we have had the TV on the same channel for hours with their logos in the lower corner. My woman loves the Hallmark channel. I have not seen any image retention or burn in. It is a tough decision between a QLED or OLED. I don't think you will be disappointed with either. However, the LG certainly excels in picture quality, features and technology.

This tv is like no other I've ever seen. The clarity and the true black are just outstanding! The small details you never noticed before you'll start seeing. The screen absorbs light in the manner that it doesn't have the multi color star affect from a light being on in the room but it does still show the reflection of a light/lamp. Most of the time I don't notice it though. I have a surround sound system but I did listen to the regular tv speakers and in my opinion they're pretty good by themselves (a lot better than any other tv I've owned). I have read a few reviews about it being too dark or too much for someone to want to deal with as far as tech.... apps and other setup/settings options. It does come with (or at least mine did) the picture initially being very dark. Remember this is true black and not the "grey" we're use to seeing. But, that's why it has (many) menu's and setting options you can adjust to get it how you like it for you and your room. It took me a little while to figure out and go through all the settings and getting it how I like it. To me that's just part of the excitement of getting a new piece of tech. Some might see that as a bad thing but not me. I'm a guy so no I didn't read the manual... to begin with. A couple of shows I watch are darker than others for some reason but I'm blaming that on the tv network and not the tv. Basically I just change the brightness for those couple of shows. To me its not that big of a deal. It has many apps already installed on it and an app store you can get many more from. I know this is kind of a long review but I just can't say enough about how impressed I am with this LG OLED. I've had it for 3 weeks as of this review and I (my son and anyone else that stops by) am still amazed every time I look at the picture quality. Once you see this one you will look at every one else's tv and think to yourself (man my picture quality is outstanding compared to this). Yes it's pricey but I think it's well worth it.

We all know that Oled TVs can perform excellent at any viewing angles, and as well you will have an excellent blacks levels and contrast, I use Apple TV, but I have to admit that the LG Application System is one of the best on the market, On my opinion this TV should priced at $1300.00. Don’t get me wrong this a outstanding TV this the best TV that I ever had in my life, the reason for this 1300.00 price is that if you already are paying 1900.00 just add yourself an extra 100.00 and get the Sony A8G because it has better motion handling. 2019 model. Being honest when I set up this tv I was not sure if I was likening.... My advice is out the box take your time calibrating the picture settings on this TV you will love the end results and if you are not sure How to do it just go to YouTube and you will find many experts recommendations or even paying a professional calibrator to get the most of your TV, you will be amazed about what this TV can do. This TV is doing a very very Good job upscaling on 1080P if you watch cable, so this TV it’s very versatile HDR and Dolby VISion are superb. Audio you can’t go wrong with Dolby Atmos my recommendation will be adding a Sonos sounbar to the the most of it. Or Bose is a sound bar is what you preferred. You can’t go wrong with this TV, If you are one of the people’s that are considering the Samsung Q80R don’t do it pay the difference and get an Oled, if not wait another year and get the Micro LED In addition you MUST add the BEST BUY extended warranty because OLED TVS can BURN IN. Geek Squad is the only warranty that’s covers BURN IN not LG warranty, NO square trade. Do yourself a favor an add the extended warranty. Replacing an Oled panel is about $900.00. So if you are getting an Oled BEST BUY is your answer.

I tried to find the right time and got this TV when it was on a decent sale and was still hesitant about paying that much. After having a 4K computer monitor and seeing friends' non-OLED 4K TVs was skeptical about how big of a difference LG's OLED would make. Honestly, it's worth every penny. From watching movies and videos to editing my own pictures on it - it's incredible. Beware: watching anything else after buying this TV will seem like a waste of time.

After reading tons of reviews, watching videos online, talking to friends and bugging my friendly BestBuy associates, I finally settled on the LG OLED. I had my decision narrowed to the Sony 900F, Sony OLED and the LG OLED. While the Sony 900F does an amazing job, the true blacks and amazing contrast of the OLED panel had me sold. I'm a Sony fan, and found the Sony OLED a bit more aesthetically pleasing, and I do love the X1 extreme chip. However, since the panel is actually made by LG, the price difference was a bit more difficult to justify. That said, I've been extremely pleased so far with the LG C8. Picture quality is excellent, as you'd expect. Even in my living room, which receives a good amount of sunlight, the TV is quite adequately bright. While, in my opinion, the Sony X1 Extreme does a slightly better job with motion and color rendering, the new LG alpha 9 does quite a good job overall. WebOS is relatively easy to use. An array of streaming apps are available, though I don't use them - since I have an Apple TV 4K, Roku, and 4K BluRay player. Unexpected was the sound quality - quite impressive for a TV this thin. While I have a higher end home audio set up, I find that in the evenings especially, I'll just use the TV speakers. If you can catch it on sale, as I did, I would highly recommend the LG OLED. Happy Viewing!!!

Upgraded from a 2015 4k UHD sony. The LG OLED tv surpasses it in almost every way. Put this in a dark room and you will truly appreciate how black the blacks are! It is hard to go back to anything else. Made this last season of GoT watchable. I've had an UHD blu ray player for a while but never bought a movie for it. This tv made me a believer. Remote takes some getting used to. Limited apps but I couldnt ask for a better picture.

I am very impressed with this tv! Can’t believe how crisp the picture quality is. I have Directv and regular HD programming looks much clearer. I’m mainly watching Netflix and Vudu 4K programming and it is awesome! The only problem I have had is the remote stopped working. I had to do a complete reset on the tv to get it to work again. If you can afford this set get it!

This TV is perfect for me. The image is super clear and the colors are correctly balanced. For such a thin TV the sound is also quite good. I'm sure that a good sound system will only improve the experience, but even alone the sound from the TV's speakers is clear and easy to follow. The only little concern is that the screen is very thin and delicate; so you have to be very careful when you install or move the TV.
