Huge upgrade!

I purchased a flagship 50” plasma back in 2009 that was well known for it's black levels. It has served me well over the years despite the advancements in technology and resolution within the market. I’ve always been interested in OLEDs since they first came to the market due to their black levels being much better than standard LED TVs so when my plasma did start making some ticking noises I kept an eye out for a replacement and was certain I would be wanting an LG as they had always seemed to be the market leaders. A house move then gave the perfect excuse to refresh the home cinema setup. I had previously purchased two other LG TVs for the house, one being a 40” for my son that came with LGs fabulous magic remote. Controlling devices such as the connected firestick without having to use a second remote is a great feature. The 65” G3 arrived and I eventually got round to setting the TV up in the new house. Due to the renovation project it is temporarily mounted on a Swivel base as an LG stand is not included. The included wall mount however is a great idea and this fits flush inside the back of the TV casing to ensure the TV is as close to the wall as possible. It is amazing how thin the LG G3 is and it looks like a piece of artwork. Due to the current renovation work I do not have an antenna connected so I can’t comment on the Tuner / terrestrial TV however I have been impressed with the simplicity of playing Channel 4 from an iPad app over the airplay protocol. I did experience a couple of issues where the TV did not appear to be connected as it was not showing as available. I had to reset the WIFI connection on the TV although I will be connecting via network cable when I get round to completing the wall installation. Streaming 4K HDR footage from youtube to demonstrate the panel gave mind blowing results and people have been very impressed. A huge step up from my plasma! The TV has been fine for gaming with an Xbox however I am going to mark the TV down slightly due to the picture quality I am seeing from the connected Firestick. I haven’t had much time to fully explore the settings yet but the whites are way too high and are being clipped losing all detail and texture. I am really struggling to find which setting is responsible for this. I am hoping I can find some settings online to help with this otherwise I will contact LG. Overall I would fully recommend this TV!
