[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my oled 3D 4k TV. I want to upgrade but I'd miss seeing avatar in 3D! And all the other movies. Please please bring 3D back. It shouldn't cost much... probably just a software update?...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the previous generation 77 OLED and am very happy with the picture quality. Everything just pops especially when I connect my PC directly to the TV and use it as a monitor. Both games and videos look pristine and beautiful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own two (2) 77 inches OLED 4K ..bought last November 2018 and never look back ! Its just mesmerizing watching on this TV... Looking forward to another addition of 88 inches 8k OLED soon !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I wanted to upgrade my TV in 2016 I spent over 100 hours researching TV's to find the best TV in the world and the choice was without a doubt the LG OLED G6P. It has the best picture quality I have seen in a TV including in the theater. The big selling point that made me decide to fork out 7k for a TV was the 3D quality which is light years beyond any other display including IMAX. The TV was one of the only TV's in the world to support 4K 3D content with only a few demo videos available on YouTube from LG. I have shown these demos to many people especially my friends who were 3D sceptics and every person I showed it to was blown away and several tried to purchase it from me.
Unfortunately, my G6 recently bit the dust and I am looking for a new OLED but there are no longer any 3D models available. With the incredible 3D quality of the 4k OLEDs this feature should be brought back for the even better 8K line of OLEDs. I would take the 3D feature over ThinQ, smart home features, and other bells and whistles that I will barely use and I would be glad to pay a premium for the 3D feature. I recently purchased a phone with a holographic 3D display that does not require 3D glasses and I would love to see this technology brought to an LG OLED 8K TV. I would purchase it immediately.
Picture, HDR, and Color Quality 10 out of 10
LG OLED image and color quality are still the best in the world and LG beat their own record with the addition of 8k and a much more advanced processor. The inclusion of HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG covers all current HDR formats except the recently released HDR10+ which I would like to see added to future LG OLEDs so we can have access to every HDR format currently available.
Features 8 out of 10
This TV is now the largest OLED available to the public at 88 inches and the first 8k OLED TV in the world. The attached stand is a unique new feature. I like that it includes a shelf under the TV to set my game consoles, 4k Blu-ray player, and computer. This will make it easier to hide cords and cut down on my out of control electronics jungle. My only complaint is that the TV lacks 3D capabilities and that should be included for a TV of this caliber and price point. My other very small critique is that the stand should be black to match the TV and most other high end electronic devices.
Value 8 out of 10
This TV when released will have the best picture and color quality of any TV in the world by almost every measure and has a gigantic screen to boot. You would expect to pay a premium price for a TV of this caliber. That said I deducted value points due to the lack of 3D capability. LG OLEDs with 3D capability were discontinued in 2016 but even at 4 years old the 3D OLEDs still sell at about the same price as when they first released. This indicates that 3D capability still holds value for many OLED customers and they are willing to pay extra for this feature.
Final Conclusion
If 3D is not a selling point for you and you want to buy the best TV in the world then it doesn't get any better than this. I am going to miss my OLED G6 and I want to replace it with an even bigger and better 8k OLED but unless LG brings back the 3D feature I will not purchase another OLED until the price come down considerably. It is going to be difficult going back to a regular TV, once you go OLED Perfect Black it's hard to go back.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a 55" LG OLED and the picture is amazing. I was going to buy a 65 " LG OLED but after seeing the 77" model, I will be purchasing the 77" model instead. The price came down to a price point I can now afford. I may have to wait a 2 years to purchase an 88" model.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LG makes great 4K OLED. Can’t wait on this 8k model. May even be less than an 8k projector and black diamond screen setup!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For us tech fans, we love it If you remember, not much if anything was avail when 4K came out. Love it... can’t wait
