Purchased on Black Friday deal. Best overall OLED for 2022 IMO. 4 stars because it was still a bit expensive. The C2 is the better value but I needed the extra brightness the G2 offers since the TV is our main display in a fairly bright living room. This replaced a Sony 75" LCD that was 4 years old. The color saturation and black levels are amazing on this display. Highly recommend if you want the extra brightness over the C2. If you don't need it, save some $$$ and get the C2. Either way you will not be disappointed.
For the first few uses the OLED had some banding which I was concerned with given the cost. After a few days it seems to have cleared up. Sound is great, picture quality is the best I have seen, although I wish It were a bit brighter on Cinema mode. Overall very pleased with the product.
This is my second LG TV purchase after getting a 55” C1 OLED and it has not disappointed. The gallery model is very sleek and I would only make the extra investment if planning to mount, otherwise the new C2 is good enough. Installation was a bit cumbersome because the wall anchors are not good. After putting numerous holes in my wall, I ended buying toggle bolts and using those with one good stud and that did the trick. As usual with these TVs the sound could benefit from some enhancement with a bar, but that’s unfortunately to be expected. The Always On functions which display pictures and/or music for a few minutes is quite classy and definitely a step up from the last model. Hands free Alexa is nice but it does always trigger so I preferred being able to add the TV as an Alexa device and turning off the TV using any Echo dot in my house (like I do for my C1 when the kids leave the TV on or it’s time for bed). It doesn’t seem that option is available now but maybe one day it will be. Also, a minor complaint is the DirectTV stream is not available on webOS and this TV is being use “wirelessly” (no auxiliary connections, recessed outlet directly behind the TV), but I think that’s more of DirectTV fault.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tv looks great, has an excellent picture, and mounts flat to the wall and was surprised by how good the built in sound was. It's pretty expensive compared to the C2 which has similar performance but I pad the extra over the C2 for the clean wall mounting which works really well. The only issue I see is that the home screen cannot be customized to remove all the recommended shows/ads which I assume they are paid to put on there. Why not just have an option to pull in recommended shows from only the apps I use and remove sections that are just ads for other services/apps/shows i would have to pay for or don't use? Also why have a mandatory sports section on the homepage? I don't watch sports, It's just very poorly designed. They shouldn't have mandatory ads built into the home screen on a TV that costs this much money. They also have some specific app buttons on the remote (netflix, disney plus, etc) which they were probably also paid to put there and are useless buttons if you don't use those specific apps. The AI video features made the picture look strange and caused some issues so I'd just turn that off.
By far, the best picture of any TV I have viewed. Smooth, incredibly detailed 4k, and the dark levels are lifelike. The one problem I have with the G2 is Wi-Fi reception. I have a great router located 15 ft away, but the G2 would randomly disconnect. This happened frequently when streaming 4k. I tried to resolve the issue with LG, but the only solution that worked was directly connecting the TV to the router with Ethernet cable. It has not disconnected since.
I've had this TV for just over a week now and I can say that it's been a great experience! The screen is bright, the colors are vivid and the sound without a sound bar is acceptable but once I paired it with an LG sound bar the sound is terrific. It connected right up to my internet connection and also pairs nicely with my JBL Bluetooth headphones for when I want to watch TV after my wife goes to bed. The only negative is I had to purchase a separate floor mount for it since mounting it on the wall was not an option for me.
