Still amazed – After almost 3 years still a brilliant picture. Watching movies like Dune is just mesmerizing. Amazing TV.

Automatic Updates killed my TV – Was happy with the purchase until LG started to do automatic updates. One of these updates stopped a certain codec from working when I was watching content on my thumb drive. Then more updates occurred which put ads on the TV. Then the worst update of them all. As soon as the TV updated it no longer turns on with the remote. The only way… Read more

i can watch the TV is by turning it off from the wall for 10mins and then turn back on. It can not wake it self unless I do this. Hate Automatic updates

A TV so nice we bought it twice – We purchased our first LG OLED C1 in Jan ‘22 and like it enough that we bought a second of the exact same model for gaming to mount alongside it after finding one on sale as a second for a third the price of the original TV. Pros; The picture is beautifully clear and crisp and easy to adjust to your desired viewing specs. Great refresh rate for… Read more

gaming. The magic remote works well. Smart tv capabilities and computer interface with our desktop, PlayStation, Nintendo etc has been simple to work with. They are very light TVs for their size, so easy to mount (which is great when you’re trying to mount two side by side and needing to constantly adjust to get it perfect). They look clean and unobtrusive in the room.

Cons; Sound is a bit tinny, but I’ve never met a television speaker I liked anyway, we have both connected to soundbars. A unique problem when owning two of the same model mounted side by side - either remote controls the power to both, so if you need to turn one on, you need to use the power button on the tv, otherwise both turn on. Same goes for powering down. Otherwise all other functions are independent to their assigned controller. (If LG has a solution and wants to respond, I’ll be happy to take instruction).

Overall, very happy with our purchases.

Terrible – Paid over $4000 for a top of the line LG OLED TV. Took less than 3 years for it to have dead pixels appear. As per consumer law, if a major fault is deemed (which it was with their troubleshooting team), the customer is entitled to a replacement or a refund. LG does not abide by this law and as a result I am stuck with a broken TV that should have lasted well over 3 years. Do not choose a LG TV - go for Samsung. Show details

24 months old and the cord and board have died resulting in a very expensive dead unit hanging on my wall – Purchased this from the good guys in July 2021. TV was good, did everything well, including delivering annoying ads but in the last month the tv has started to not turn on or power on. Thought it may be the power point, tested and no issues. Thought I may have accidentally hit a setting somewhere, so completely factory reset, still nothing. Over… Read more

the next month the tv became less and less responsive to the point now I am lucky if we have a total window of 20 mins randomly in the day the tv will allow itself to be switched on. Had repair man look at and quoted $1000, seriously?!?! Said he had seen many of these models with faulty boards that lasted long enough to make it past warranty and then fail. Reached out to LG to hopefully see if they can help.

Launch panel is diabolical – It takes almost 10 minutes to just reach the TV channel you want when you turn it on. You get a screen full of LG advertising that you have to navigate through to get to the TV icon. It will then launch on the last channel you were watching. You have to wait for that to start before you navigate to what you want to see. Paid almost $3000 for… Read more

something LG continues to use as an advertising board. This is probably not legal. LG should pay TV owners for using their TVs for this advertising. I spent 4 hours today talking to someone from LG trying to see if the TV could be started without going into the LG advertising basket. He could not work out a way of doing it. Later tonight online I found a suggestion that allows me to get straight to TV. It opens on the last channel watched. You then have to navigate to whatever channel you want to watch. It is an improvement, but not the same as being able to press the channel number on the remote and have it launch as I could do on my previous Samsung. Companies fail to provide basic instructions to purchasers or even tell them where to find them on the TV. Shows complete disregard for people.

Absolute junk – Had the tv 6months and the mother board packed up. After 1 year the screen has gone. Rang to get a quote on a replacement screen and was quoted 4k..... I payed $3500 for the tv new. Absolute joke and this will be the last time I buy anything lg. I couldn't rate this tv any lower.

Great quality picture, but TERRIBLY slow OS system. Already replaced once under warranty due to picture issues – We love the picture quality with this TV, 4K content looks amazing and the Xbox Series X looks stunning. However we already had it replaced once already when the picture failed (ghosting and other strange issues) furthermore the operating system is atrocious. It’s very very slow. Generally it seems unresponsive and various apps can take 10-20… Read more

seconds to load. We own a Samsung smart TV for comparison and this performs unbelievably quick. Overall would no buy again, and will likely go Samsung in the future as they now offer OLED displays.

Adds! – Why do I get adds popping up at the bottom of the TV that I paid 3000 dollars for when I turn it on! Seriously, what the hell. It makes me so frustrated that I want to smash it in! Just let me use the TV that I paid good money for in peace! Show details

Lemon – After a few months old, random white bands started flashing on the screen, very intermittently. Assumed it was interference from lightning. Fast forward to 12 months, whole screen flashing on ALL inputs - again only intermittently. No TV should do this!! LG authorized a repair just out of warranty. Allegedly the main board was replaced. Guess… Read more

what, after a few weeks it is starting to do it again. This TV is a lemon. First and last LG product I will be buying. Videos of TV 15th dec 2022, one is with aerial wire removed from rear of tv Photos are screenshots of video

A whole new way to watch TV – I recently purchased a 65" LG C1 to replace our old Sony 55" 4K TV that had served us well. After unboxing and mounting the C1 to the wall, I found the set up easy to follow thanks to the QR code I could scan from my phone and use. Once set up, I asked my kids to pick a movie - they picked Moana as they had only seen it 3972 times before so… Read more

needed to watch it again.

I was amazed by how clear the picture was and the black levels on the screen (thanks to the OLED panel) - the sound also surprised me as coming from a TV that had seperate, forward facing speakers, I was expecting to be disappointed but it performs well in this space.

LG's WebOS is quick and easy to use and there are a great range of apps, we use Netflix, Stan, Disney+ & Amazon Prime mainly and I have found they all support 4K HDR or Dolby Vision when available. There also appears to be a heap of apps in the app store although I haven't had a chance to go through it thorougly.

This TV also has some little features I hadn't thought about - one of them is the ability to send the sound to your phone (toggled via the app) - this is great if you want to use airpods etc (The TV also supports bluetooth headphones) - perfect for watching a show late at night when others are asleep.

I've read some reviews on the magic remote and was a little worried I wouldn't like it, but I actually think it's great - intuitive and easy to use, and the scroll wheel is great - it's just like using the mouse on a PC, although I wish the 'Movies' button on the remote could be programmed to another app like Stan for example - all it seems to do is open a search bar and enter 'Movies'

I also wish the HDMI/Ethernet/RF ports were a little closer to the side as it was awkward to install on a slim wall mount, but now it's up it's fine, another note is that for a $2000+ TV, the ethernet port is only 10/100 (although this is adequate to stream @ 4K)

All in all it seems like a solid well built TV, a little flimsy around the top where the screen is super thin, but that was only noticeable during installation - it's not like we pick up our TV on a regular basis.

Faulty screen within 3.5 months – I purchased an LG C1 OLED 65 inch TV in June 2022. After only 3 and half months the screen developed a fault. Horizontal lines about 1cm apart appeared from top to bottom and across the entire screen. I reported the fault to LG and they promptly arranged an assessment of the tv by a repairer. The repairer found the screen was faulty and… Read more

reported back to LG. I requested a replacement TV and LG referred me to the retailer who I purchased the TV from. Now I am stuck in between LG and the retailer while they decide who rectifies the issue. Really disappointing considering I purchased the flagship model from LG and its developed a major fault. It's equally disappointing that LG won't replace the tv and are passing the buck onto the retailer. If anyone at LG reads this my reference number is CNP221004820619.

Less than 18 months old and failing – After 8 months the HDMI would not connect to XBox one. Now the channel return on the remote has stopped working. Tried connecting to Freeview channels, only connected to a few. Big money for ordinary TV. Why is that? Show details

lg service. Transfered to Philippines and they don’t care at all. They told me not there problem. Now I’m stuck with a broken tv on the wall. Tv cost $7500. I got lg fridge few tvs sound bar. Never again Rang few more times. Sent pictures. They reviewed the pics and said there’s a crack and they don’t warrant cracks. I could have told them there was a crack. The plastic is still on the tv. Also been put on hold for over 35 min

Surprisingly Good – We’ve had Samsung TV’s for years and thought they were very good, especially for the price. But last TV I thought I’d splurge and bought a Sony, boy was I sorry. Viewing when it was a night time scene was dreadful. Thought I should do the right thing and kept it for 6 years and finally rewarded myself with the LG. What can I say, it’s brilliant!… Read more ·  1

No more squinting to see what’s happening and it’s so thin! I’m still getting used to the fine tuning of the picture but overall, I’m delighted and would whole heartedly recommend it.

Perfect addition to replace our Samsung – Love the remote, quick access to specific apps with one click. Amazing pixel quality, truest black I’ve ever owned. HDMI isn’t as easy as the Samsung that has ‘The One Box’, but that feature is easily overlooked with the quality of this product compared to our Samsung product. Will be buying more LG products from now on. Highly impressed Show details ·  1

such poor communication and outcome from LG, noting I also have LG Washing Machine, Dryer, Monitor and 3 LED TV's. LG have now lost me with brand loyalty or support.

There is no magic in that wand, which for me, puts it below its competitors – Unfortunately, LG wouldn't allow this review to be published on their website as it didn't meet their guidelines and they wouldn't say why. "Nice picture and good Apps, but that wand remote is just awful. We bought this 65 inch LG to replace a 65 inch, 3yr old Panasonic as we weren't happy with the poor 'smart' functions/apps of the Panasonic.… Read more

The LG has far superior smart functions/apps and sound, but we can't really see any discernable difference in the picture quality, so unless you have hawk like vision, don't get fooled by all the picture quality marketing guff. To be perfectly honest, our 8yr old 55 inch Samsung that we have in our grandson's room is just as good in picture quality as the LG. Now to the most annoying feature of the LG, the wand remote. Rubbish is the only way to describe it. If you are really good with a Nintendo Wii remote (or Harry Potter) you might like the LG wand...I say might. To use the LG wand, you need a really steady hand, good aim and very dexterous fingers to nail what you can do with a standard multi function remote in a fraction of the time and with far less hassle. With the wand, the quick function options are limited, so you need to navigate through numerous menu's to get to basic information such as, tv guide, program info, picture, sound, inputs, etc. It's a decent TV, but against its competitors, I can't see any discernable difference in the picture or sound, but it is definately let down by that awful remote."

OLED tv exploded LG don’t want to know about it – We purchased LG CX tv last year for 3.9k and after software update tv exploded and thankfully my kids weren’t injured . LG technician came and without even properly examining the fault properly he came to a conclusion that the damaged was caused by external force and red substance on the floor & tv was blood . How can there be an external force… Read more

and blood when no one was in the room? LG customer service gave us a run around for almost 4 weeks and in the end not willing to investigate / repair or compensate . This is my 4 th LG tv and was always loyal to the brand . Won’t be recommending anyone to buy their OLED Line of TVs ( Cx , C1 , Gx , G1) as they all use the same panels .I find it surprising as a major electronic company they are not even

Extremely disappointed with LG – My 3 day old LGC1 77 inch had an issue with a strange vertical line appearing on the screen along with issues of screen turning itself off. Now on 4th day the screen does not even turn on. I contacted LG (Philippines call centre) and having them confirm their is a fault now have passed it on to get repaired by someone local who tell me I need a… Read more

new panel. Essentially after the repair I will have a refurbished TV not a brand new TV which is what I paid top dollar for. I cannot believe that a faulty TV that has been used for less than 10 hours is not replaced. So disappointed given I chose LG despite my wife saying I should have gone with the Japanese competitor. When you spend close to 6k for a TV this is not what you expect. Buyer beware...

Just Great! – The OLED 4K 55C1 has really exceeded my expectations and they were high to start with. Picture wins in all areas and, in particular, with the critical black. Linked up well with my existing extra devices (Fetch 4K box, BOSE sound bar) and use and flexibility is simple and very good. Very happy with my purchase and excellent value for money. Show details ·  1

Be very careful when considering to buy an OLED TV – I bought a LG OLED 65B TV four years ago. I was taken in by glowing reviews of perfect blacks and outstanding pictures. First dissapointment when the "magic" remote control failed just after the warranty expired. Replaced it with a generic model. All good until about six months ago when I noticed a coloured band appeared at the bottom of the… Read more

screen. Did some researching and found the problem was screen burn caused by TV station "banners" at the bottom of the screen. I found that there was an operation to clear "screen noise" in the settings. Tried this over several months and the burn did not decrease - it got worse if anything. The TV has 7500 hours on it which would be considered light usage (about 5 hours per day). Emailed LG on their support page but never got a reply back. On the whole, a dissapointing purchase. To sum up: Pros. Good sound quality, Pairs up with chromcast OK, WiFi works well. Cons: On air channel list is fiddly and slow (my Sansung is faultless), Bluetooth will not work with Macintosh devices, Picture is prone to burn-in (see above).

This OLED TV can turn you on – I've always been Samsung fanboy for many years but spending a monstrous amount of time researching which one to buy was a nightmare.

trouble using the LG. Its operating system is simple and logical. My brother bought his Sony OLED. He believes Sony is the Rolls Royce of TVs. The operating system on the Sony was difficult to understand, it didn't make sense, and colour on this screen is over-saturated. He practically paid the same money for his TV BUT, it's only a 55" - "snooze". Plus the LG is drop dead sexy as hell. Hook this beast up to LG (Meridian) soundbar and woofer, and you will be transported into the movie, especially now that most of the streaming services offer 4k content. It can even clean it's own screen from being left on too long while paused. I loved this TV OLED 65" so much, I bought another 65" OLED TV. The clarity, crisp picture with a good sound system built-in. So depending on how big your room is, the soundbar could "probably" make it too loud (is there such a thing). LG, I love you. I wish I had the money to buy the wallpaper model.
