The brilliance of OLED makes previously impossible performance a reality. The ability to switch off individual pixels renders the blacks truly black, creating an infinite contrast ratio. Its exquisite, nuanced colors actually exceed the industry's BT.709 standard, for more natural, lifelike reproduction of all content. OLED provides super-clear action and it can all be appreciated from a virtually unlimited viewing angle.

SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEW'S
1) Best TV ever - LG 65EG9600 Review.
First off-I am not a video tech like others here on this forum so I can not even talk to some of the threads on this forum. I am just a retired engineer that wants a good TV picture to watch sports and movies. I have always been disappointed with the LCD when they shifted to LED backlight (edge lit). So with that caveat, had only a few days to run my new LG 65EG9600 OLED, but here are some observations. Of note, LG refused to post this review on their web site claiming I did not follow their guidelines-guess too many negatives. But seriously, The goods far outpace the bad on this TV and I am very happy for my purchase
1-TV passes Dolby 5.1 via optical out only for streamed sources. And sources inputted via HDMI get converted to PCM. Fix is to direct audio sources direct to your amplifier per LG advice. Did not have this issue with Sony-so its a LG design issue. Several web based comments saying that LG dummies the input signal to PCM
2-I have seen observable improvement in picture sharpness, blacks and clarity with run time even during the 2 days since it was delivered. I would rate picture quality better than my Sony X900A 4K and I love the webs interface as compared to Sony
3-the “standard” setting for picture is as good as my Sony XBR900A, The only adjustment I made was a small increase in color setting (up 10) to perfect skin tones
4-Build quality of TV is great. No pixel issues and no banding (first turned on 4/11/15)
5-As I said previously, the OLED has a build date of March 2015 in Mexico (not Korea)
6-TV speaker sound is “tinny” with little bass. I use a LG soundbar as primary audio with my BOSE for movies. I would not be happy with the TV speakers-recognize I was used to the Sony x900A speaker system. The LG soundbar (NB5541) audio quality exceeds the Sony X900A speakers
7-I was told to use the “standard setting” until breakin period is over (BB said 1 month)-well the “standard setting brightness exceeds the brightness of my Sony x900A with a Vivid setting
8-no discernible motion issues and no banding issues with both broadcast and BluRay
9-Blueray and 3D Bluray is exceptional. Much more depth and clarity, exceeding 3D experience in a theater. MUCH BETTER 3D than the Sony x900A which also is a passive 3D system
10-The LG “sound link” system is not compatible with Sony version. I had to turn off the Sony HDMI control on my Sony BlueRay player or the LG OLED would not allow me to shift to another HDMI source when I turned off the BlueRay. I have the LG sound link ON as well as Auto power on, and all seems to be OK including the soundbar integration of volume control and power
11-the LG apps are “skimpy” at best. Not a lot of selection as compared to Samsung or even Sony. The LG store allows you to download added items like Crackle. Of note, the present LG provided app for Amazon video on demand (streaming), does not support 4K for this EG9600 model. Amazon says they will be updating the app to make this model support 4K Amazon video. Also the new service “Ultraflix) is not supported on this TV (no app)
12-Very hard for me to relate to other forum members as to picture technicals. I am happy with the quality and darks, and sharpness but again I am not a video tech person like others. I do not see any striping as others have complained about
13-I like the magic remote
14-The LG TV guide does not update as to programming. It lists the channels but not the scheduled program,. So I will use the Comcast X1 guide vice LG guide
15-This EG9600 only has 3 HDMI inputs. and since I use the ARC HDMI 2 for the soundbar, it limits by inputs. The LG soundbar has a HDMI input, but it does not pass thru the signal unless I change modes of the soundbar which shifts the TV back to internal speakers
This new 2015 OLED from LG is an exceptional TV and the best I have ever owned including the Sony 4K X900A.
