OLED Doesn't Disappoint!

The LG C4 series of 4K OLED TV's is an incredible experience. The near infinite contrast ratio of OLED coupled with fantastic brightness levels make this TV a very enjoyable experience in any room. This TV does not leave me wanting for more brightness – at all. Even in a bright room the antireflective coating (which somehow still looks glossy and doesn’t seem to affect sharpness like most others) coupled with some impressive brightness numbers makes for a truly sublime viewing experience.
I am using the 65 inch version as a bedroom TV where it replaces a conventional LED-LCD TV (also an LG). As an avid enjoyer of sci-fi series such as The Expanse, the backlight bleed and rather bright black levels of the old LCD even with region dimming made for a noticeable and dismal experience with longer dark scenes. This C4 OLED may not have the retina melting brightness of a miniled but due to the unbelievable contrast ratio maximum brightness is still much too bright for a dark room. I have settled on 65 for brightness for night time use - bright scenes are still very bright, HDR transitions for bright scenes are still significant enough to make you momentarily squint but not so much that they detract from the viewing experience.
This LG C4 OLED model has some impressive AI driven features intended to improve content on the fly, and from what I have tested they do very well at what they are intended for. Motion is silky smooth and almost feels like native 50/60fps content even when critiques attentively. Whilst all this tech is extremely impressive especially compared to how clunky it has been implemented on TVs of yesteryear, I have a preference for zero or minimal manipulation of the source content by the viewing device. For SDR content isf-darkroom has been my go-to choice, for HDR filmmaker mode appears most true to source.
The picture, brightness, viewing angles, colour, etc are exquisite and leave little to want. However there are a few minor issues. The magic remote does take some getting used to and even after that it is only adequate. It does not feel as premium as a TV of this calibre deserves. All in all I am more satisfied with this TV than any previous TV I have purchased, it really does deliver what it promises and more.
