Stellar Viewing Experience…

After reviewing the LG G4 OLED over the past few days it’s clear it is a small, but good step up over the LG G3 OLED (last years model).
For a start there are some welcome features, like Chromecast built in, 144hz mode and Dolby Vision Filmmaker mode which all add to the experience. Picture quality is LG’s strong point for me, the picture looks stunning and is slightly brighter this year again which always helps, especially in a light room like mine. Watching movies of an evening the last few nights has been fantastic, whether they’ve been in 4K or HD all have looked great. You can tell the Alpha 11 processor is really working well and doing what it can, especially on older HD transfers. The introduction of Dolby Vision filmmaker mode I was very excited about as I like a “pure” picture experience and it looks stunning, I’m used to it being a little brighter but I’ll get used to what it “should be” like. Chromecast Built in works exactly as it should, as does AirPlay as always. There’s a slightly tweaked OS which is a little more user friendly. After testing gaming, I have all the main consoles and the HD ones ran fine with a nice clear and clean picture. The 4K consoles picture looked fantastic, however with VRR on there is a lot of tearing which wasn’t on last years, I hope this can be fixed as otherwise the picture is fantastic, especially in Dolby Vision game mode using the new PC Dolby Vision setting. Another small bug is sometimes when you switch to HDMI 2 there seems to be a fuzzy picture issue, it doesn’t always do it, but it is quite frequent, LG won’t acknowledge the issue, after many complaints from people. It may have been nice to have had a slight improvement on the remote control as it’s been the same for a few years now too. However, overall it’s the best TV I’ve ever owned, it looks great and attached to my soundbar sounds fantastic and eARC works exactly as it should which is always a bonus, including all audio formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS-X and multi channel LPCM. It really is an impressive piece of kit with a few niggles that I’m sure LG will iron out as they always are pretty quick with software updates to address issues. The actual look of the tv is fantastic, lovely and sleek and tidy with a great set of features to allow for proper gaming and movie watching. A great buy if you want the best. The only thing I think that could be added maybe HDR10+ support, then it would have a full set of features. HDMI issue aside picture is great.
