Best TV of 2022 for Both…

As a console gamer and AV enthusiast, LG G2 ticks all my requirements including 4k@120Hz VRR, HGiG, Dolby Vision, highest peak brightness of 930+ nits @10% window to D65 white point with embedded heatsink that clears away image retention faster, 4xHDMI 2.1 inputs @ full 48Gbps allowing YUV444 PC output at 4k@120Hz HDR, G-Sync and Freesync supports and superb low input lag at ~5ms @120Hz. For Xbox X, this is the only TV supports Dolby Vision gaming @ 4k/120Hz in 2022. As a result, it is the best TV to get in 2022 if you have the same needs.
Disappointed by the new QD-OLED technology this year, though with better brightness and colour gamut, it suffers from colour fringing issue due to triangular subpixel layout, either missing Dolby Vision or only having 2 x HDMI 2.1 inputs (and 1 of them is used as eARC for external sound system). Furthermore, lack of polariser for QD-OLED means unless you watch it in a pitch-black environment, the blacks are going to be grey and that is not acceptable to me.
I was amazed by how thin the bezel with premium aesthetic design during unboxing. Initially was wondering why the brightness was worse than my previous OLED TV, I later learned that I must I disable energy saving features that were on by default due to energy consumption regulations for some countries.
WebOS is responsive with good remote control design with wheel scrolling and air mouse control, especially when using the built-in web browser for navigation. I hope the remote buttons can be softer with backlight for watching movie in dark room.
To enjoy best picture quality, settings from reputable sources such as HDTVTest (YouTube) helped a lot to get the most accurate settings especially for getting HGiG settings right for my PS5 with HGiG-compliant game e.g. Gran Turismo 7. With the right HGiG settings, the screen was darker than default, through various testing judging at highlights of images, I concluded HGiG settings provide more accurate picture by not blowing out the highlights.
Fired up UHD Blu-ray The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, the initial village burning scene was impressive with realistic fire highlights with Dolby Vision. For Avengers: End Game with HDR10 rated 4000 nits, the brightness was slightly darker but was enjoyable in a dark room with excellent picture quality.
It has better sound than my previous TV with stronger bass and loud enough for daily use. However, AV enthusiasts use external sound system so it does not matter.
