My first OLED - an admirable…

I received this TV at a discount for my honest review.
This is my first OLED TV, so my review is a naïve OLED one. The first thing that struck me out of the box is how thin the top half of the TV is. The bottom half houses the electronics and mounting points so it’s thicker. It has a beautiful look with a thin black border all the way around.
The detailed specs are found on LG’s website. Key features – 4k Ultra HD, a7 Gen4 AI Processor, 120hz native, Cinema HDR, optimized for gaming, webOS, 4 HDMI inputs, and more. I have a 5.1 system so I will never use the built-in speakers and will not comment on that aspect. As with other LG products it comes with a magic remote which I find super easy to navigate with. It’s much lighter than I was expecting, 53lbs without the stand. Sources are plugged directly into the TV (HDMI), no pass-through receiver.
The TV is in my bedroom, a room where TV is watched a lot. I tested the TV in a variety of ways with the settings as they were out of the box. The room is generally a darker room, so I didn’t test it in a bright room other than having the lights on. I watched various content from my Fios One box, from football to the news to baseball to several movies. Then I went to content from the TV itself. The three apps I used were Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. In all cases I watched movies.
I discount content quality from the Fios box because I feel the signal isn’t the best. The picture from Fios was better than most of my other TV’s. I didn’t notice any blurred motion, and the picture was sharp. I Watched baseball in 4K and it looked great. The apps were better as expected. Very clear with zero motion blur. Much more 4K content to test, and I was impressed.
I have a 75” LG QNED99 mini-LED TV and although different technologies I found myself comparing. I read that OLED doesn’t get as bright, and that was evident out of the box. I ended up spending an hour going through all the picture settings making many tweaks to get the best picture I could. It was a pretty big improvement. With regards to brightness and more importantly color the QNED was deeper and brighter than the OLED, but the OLED still had beautiful and natural colors. The blacks are deep. When the lights are off the OLED is at its best. I've watched quite a bit of 4K sports and this TV shows it well.
I find this TV to be an economical yet quality entry into the OLED world. I am very happy with its performance and would easily recommend this TV.
