LG OLED CX Series 65” Alexa Built-in 4k Smart TV (3840 x 2160), 120Hz Refresh Rate, AI-Powered 4K, Dolby Cinema, WiSA Ready (OLED65CXPUA, 2020)

This is my first 65" TV and I have been enjoying it for almost a week now. I am delighted by the outstanding, or should I say amazing image quality of the OLED display. The black levels are truly great, contrast is perfect and the brightness is very, very good. Overall the image is extremely balanced offering an enchanting experience. To my surprise I did not have to play with any of its multiple video modes or tune any image in any way. In fact I am using the standard video setup, the one it came with out of the box, with the AI enabled and that's it, end of story!! I watch tennis, movies, news programs, name it... and they all look amazing!! Why mess around with perfection? I use this TV mostly as a display with wireless headphones, hooked up to an Xfinity X1 cable box. The cable box is connected to WiFi and brings in all the apps and various video services, like Netflix, Amazon Prime and such. I did not even connect the TV to the internet and I skipped the respective setup. As such, after selecting the right video input from the input button on the "Magic Remote" provided by LG with the TV, and after pairing my TV with the X1 box remote control, I was in business. I did not have to change anything!! That's real Magic!! The unboxing was made much easier by the "Unboxing Video" for this TV on the respective Amazon web page for the LG CX TV. Great video indeed, much better than anything I got from LG to tell you the truth!! I understand that my setup is minimal for this kind of TV, but this is what I need right now and I am glad that I could cut through the clutter of many features and setups and options and get exactly what I needed. I would note that the User Help on the TV itself is quite helpful and the mouse like feel of the "magic remote" is great. The cursor goes away by itself or if you use any arrow button. Not a problem at all!! (I am saying this related to some comments I saw on Amazon CX TV page, related to this. ) Having a standard Audio Out output was a big plus for me and this is what made me buy this model over previous models, as I was targeting buying an OLED TV for years!! Strange isn't it?? I know!! Overall, a very happy customer, though I would suggest LG to put the unboxing video on their CX TV support website!! This one is a keeper! Enjoy it every day!! Well, before the Tokyo Olympic Games I bought also a 77" CX and I like it even more.

This is the best quality TV you can buy right now for most applications, and while it's more expensive than most of its LED-lit competition, it's a steal compared to the 2021 models that basically have the same guts. If you're unfamiliar with the different technologies and wondering why OLED costs more, it's worth trying to see some OLED and LED/QLED TVs side by side. The difference is apparent in any scene with dim details or high contrast. OLED is individually lit pixels, which means you can have pure blacks right next to bright colors with no "bloom". This TV ticks every functionality box for 4k 120hz gaming on the latest consoles except for Dolby Vision @ 120hz, which *may* come in an update as of this review. It's fast, bright, and beautiful. The smart features work well, although I don't recommend using them due to data collection. There are some options to opt out of most of it, and this is not unique to LG TVs by any means - i'm not aware of one that does NOT track usage to serve ads and sell data to content partners - but it's enough to make me not use the apps on smart TVs. If you need them, though, this one has them all and they do seem to work well. Overall, if you're considering the CX over the current C1, I do not see any reason to pay the premium for the new set. This appears to be the same screen and chipset and is still the best TV for the money.

I had some beautiful TVs in my day Sony's, Panasonic TH-50PZ700 and now LG OLED65CXPUA. This is my first transition from PLASMA TV to OLED. The first thing I notice before opening the box was the weight. It took two of us with max effort to move my old plasma out the way. The OLED, well it was a walk through the park, two people for safety only because of the large rectangular shape of the TV. That brings me to the stunning incredibly thin appearance, it evokes conversation among my guest or amazement. Hold on, I'm going to get to the video and features performance of the TV shortly. The base stand for the TV is heavy, but does not stabilized the TV upper half. There is some room for it to sway from front to back or back to front. At first I was concern about it then I realized the TV wasn't going to fall over from occasional bumps. Now regarding the video performance, I'm still stunned. Out the box with just some simple setting changes and there was absolute picture clarity that I never witness before at home. The contrast was very edged and vivid coloration. I found my video Nirvana and hoped the audio could live up to it. There was distinct difference between the Sound modes, AI Sound Pro, Cinema and Clear Voice being my preferences. AI Sound Pro and Cinema gave you the widest sound stage, projecting images well beyond the sides of the TV. Vertical imaging not so much and bass was respectable for a TV of it's stature. Now there are things I'm not happy with and they involve the remote and Smart features. The remote is not very responsive to touch and there is no back lighting. The placement of the Scrolling wheel could have been placed further up on the remote so that it would be more symmetrical to the tip of the thumb. The menu and submenu options are simple to go through and there is a USER GUIDE options, so you don't have to go to the web searching for an instruction manual. I have a LG Sound Bar connected and the Auto Power Sync should control this device powering off and on in sync with the TV, but at time it didn't. I had to power cycle the TV on/off, then it synced on the second attempt. If you can get by being stunned over the clarity in imagery and allow yourself to immerse into the movie content, you'll find a very enjoyable experience. My final thoughts about this TV is the viewing experience is almost addictive.

I have had CX 77 inch for about 2 weeks now. My main use for this TV is connecting with PC for occasional movies and gaming. I have not hooked up to AV receiver so I use the internal TV speakers for sound. For physical appearance and build quality, this TV gets top score. Minimalistic design with a solid rigid metal plate covering the rear side of the panel speak volumes in a quality department. Picture quality is top notch. Very good colour right out of box. You will get some unevenness with screen uniformity (google it if you don't know what it is) but mine is relatively clean to my eyes and certainly not a problem watching a normal content. WebOS is joy to use and swiching tv apps to hdmi inputs and vice versa is easy and seamless. Apps load and function pretty snappy. Sound from this tv is pretty good. In my opinion, it should meet average listeners need but if you are demanding audiophile or have a concert hall, you might want to use dedicated HT system Some cons. Stand. Although it does the job, but the tv wobbles when you touch it. But it is there for viewing not touching. This can be pro for some, but it has very complicated picture control. If you want to calibrate this tv to fine tune a picture accuracy then you need to hire a professional calibrator to do the job. Or buy tools and DIY. Reflection is real but it will be only problem if cannot stand it or your space has many light sources. In my living space where it has large windows, doesn't bother me too much. Burn in. I guess burn in can happen, but the tv comes with some excellent tools to combat this risks. I have not noticed any IR or burnins with my set so far, but I don't worry about it. I tend to baby things at beginning but TV is meant to be used and after few years I won't care about it anyways

This tv takes my breath away. This is my first OLED TV and I am in love. Its everything I wanted when it comes to watching tv shows or movies. To get that life like image and for it to be more realistic set it on smooth for truemotion you would be mind blown. I literally watch The Shallows and it is just in HD and this tv shows the video super crystal clear even when the scene is under water just wow. I highly recommend to go on YouTube and look up settings for Dolby Version and HDR but remember to actually watch a Dolby Version content to set up Dolby Version settings etc. I notice a huge difference in game mode and it's awesome. Super bright than my old RCA 4K tv which isn't close to the movies or shows being realistic. I would highly recommend this tv to a friend or anyone. And oh btw the volume for this tv is insane when you turn on Dolby Atmos at volume 12 is loud. I'm very impressed with this tv I already have a LG phone so to have a LG Tv is a bonus. You won't be disappointed. And I rarely write reviews that's to tell you how much I had to give my input on how much I love this tv. Queen LG CX. An Update: My tv is still doing great. No Burn in whatsoever. What I love about this tv also is the pixel refreshes when your not using the tv and its turned off. Another update: My tv is still in excellent working condition as of August 4th 2023. Brought tv in 2021.

I've always been hesitant to purchase an OLED TV due to burn in issues, but this TV is too good to pass up for that. Picture quality is soooo good with blacks being pure black on OLED, and HDR contents finally look the way they are supposed to be. Dolby Vision makes it just unbelievably gorgeous to look at the scenes from the shows that support it. Sound quality is also pretty good, but I live in a studio about 7~8 feet away from the TV so take that into consideration. I don't have complaints about its bass or treble with its speakers as I'm not an audiophile with gold cables connected to speakers. Using the apps with WebOS is also straight forward and no manual is needed to install or uninstall them. Overall, this TV will leave anyone satisfied with it as long as you don't let it burn in by watching content with static images on the screen for too long. (news channels with logos or bars, sports games with scoreboards, youtube 10 hours of music with static image)

Maybe my expectations were too high, but this TV did not wow me. For something that costs nearly twice as much as a standard LED, it's definitely not twice as good. Still, it's a very good TV and I'm satisfied with it.

Using it as a monitor for my PC. I was a bit apprehensive about getting something this big as a monitor but after a few weeks - it becomes normal (having a height adjustable desk does help) and an unbeatable experience. Cannot go back. Picture quality - cannot be beaten - true black and vivid colors. Makes my SONY LED 75" 900H TV look like its a piece of crap. As far as burn in goes - LG has some built in features like logo shift etc. that sort of minimize the risk of getting burn in. Honestly - for most people it won't be an issue (see YouTube videos for more information)
