LG Electronics OLED65B7A 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV (2017 Model)

We received this TV a few days ago and I'm trying not to be overly excited about it, but I really can't help it. It's the most amazing picture I've ever seen on a TV, including any TV I've seen in a store. I ordered this based on reviews on Rtings.com and Wirecutter.com. I had never seen the actual TV in a store so it was a bit of a gamble, especially because we have never spent this amount of money on a television. However, we had outgrown our Costco-purchased, 10 year old, Phillips HDTV. We figured that this TV would also last a decade so we wanted a really good one and so far, the LG B7A has far exceeded expectations. The TV arrived while I was at work but my wife received it. She said the delivery people from Amazon were great and profesional. They took the TV out of the box, and set it up on our media console. They plugged it in and tested it and then left. They will not wall mount it or set up your cable to it or set up anything else. Amazon discloses all this in a delivery email they send to you before the LG arrives. I got home and immediately plugged in the cable and turned on the TV. The setup is easy. It probably takes about 10 minutes to set up everything, connect to your wifi network and update the Amazon Prime Video and Netflix apps. Again, all fairly intuitive and easy but it would have really helped if LG provided some sort of quick setup guide instead of some flimsy piece of paper with drawings. I looked up the LG manual online to make sure I was doing things correctly. I haven't hooked up our Boston Acoustics soundbar yet but it should be okay, I think. One warning: you will have to adjust the the picture and audio settings. Sometimes, the audio wouldn't work properly. It was muffling some sounds while overplaying some background noises from whatever show is on. Again, you will need to play around with the settings a bit. The same is true for the picture. We ended up selecting the "Bright Room" mode and configuring the brightness, contrast, tint, etc to what we liked. I'm not a TV guy, so I don't know about all the advanced settings and stuff. I'm sure you can get it to be highly optimized (the settings on Rtings.com were not really that helpful). Once you've configured it, watch out! It's an amazing picture. Last night we watched the movie, "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets". I was very curious how such a colorful movie would play on this TV and it blew us away. As I said before, it's the most dazzling picture I've ever seen on any TV. We've also watched our usual comedy favorites on the network channels and its great. This content, as far as I can tell, is NOT 4k UHD content. It's just regular HD content from our Spectrum (Time Warner Cable), Netflix, and Amazon Prime accounts. Again, it blew us all away. Some of the programing, like sports, are okay. It doesn't look that much better than HD. ESPN HD programing looked a bit grainy to me, but I was just quickly flipping through to see who it would handle sports. I'll be curious as how this displays network NFL games, which I watch a lot. Overall, the LG OLED 65 inch B7A has far exceeded my expectations and I had fairly high expectations based on the cost. Was it worth the price? I'm not sure yet, but I think so. I've never paid more than $800 for a TV (and that was a decade ago). As more and more 4k content comes online, I suspect this will be an excellent investment. I highly recommend this TV.

So let me start off by saying the picture quality of this TV is incredible, not much else compares to it. Unfortunately, after about 15 months of average use these 3 dark spots appeared on the bottom right of the screen. The TV comes with a one year warranty, but since I didn't buy the extended warranty, LG refused to do anything about it after calling several times and arguing with their tech support service. I can understand that they shouldn't have to do anything for me IF the spots appeared from physical damage, or burn in from something left on the screen a long time, but this was not the case. I was very careful about keeping the brightness down and not leaving any images up. In my case, it was just a bad panel which I had diagnosed by a reputable TV repair shop, therefore, the TV should have been recalled whether it was out of warranty or not. This is LG's flagship television and they refused to stand by their product which is completely unacceptable. After researching more on the internet, it appears this is becoming a common problem with others as well. Paying $2300 and now being stuck with these horrible, distracting dark spots and LG refusing to do anything about it, I highly recommend for everyone to avoid buying this and wait until the technology is improved because its just not worth the risk for the amount of money they cost.

I am going to break this TV down for you guys starting off with a simple Pros/Cons list, then I will dive deeper into it: Pros Perfectly uniform blacks thanks to infinite contrast Great picture even from an angle Low input lag for gaming Cons Static images can get "stuck" temporarily Screen brightness varies with content being displayed (ABL) Design: 9.5 The design of the LG B7 OLED is excellent. The TV looks impressive, with a very thin screen and thin borders. It doesn't have the front-facing soundbar of the E7, and instead, sits on a stand similar to the B6. Some of the rear-facing inputs may be difficult if placed close to a wall, but the two HDMI and two USB ports on the side are easily accessible. The TV can be wall mounted via a Vesa 300x200 mount on the bottom of the rear of the unit. The boarders are thin and look great. The edges of the TV are metal and feel well-built. The max thickness of the TV is 1.97", as the top of half of the TV is only as thick as the OLED screen and backing. The bottom half of the TV houses the components and is thicker, but still will stick close to a wall if mounted.The build quality of the B7A is great, and all of the parts feel premium and well constructed. The only gripe is that the top half of the screen feels a bit too thin and may flex slightly when it is being moved. Picture Quality: 8.6 The LG B7A OLED TV has a remarkable picture quality. When set in a dark room, the amazing contrast ratio and the excellent black uniformity makes for a great home cinema experience, where dark scenes are well reproduced, with deep blacks. When set in the brighter room, its very good SDR peak brightness and excellent capacity to deal with reflection mean the B7A can also be a very good option to watch TV shows and movies during the day. The B7A is a good TV for people with a large living room since it has a very good viewing angle and picture quality remain good no matter where you will be sitting. The B7A is also a good TV for the sport's amateur, as the gray uniformity is great and dirty screen effect is not really a problem. Finally, when it comes to HDR, the B7A is excellent, as the mix of perfect blacks and good HDR peak brightness produces strong specular highlights, and when you add the wide color gamut, you can really experience a great HDR experience. As with other LG OLED TVs, the B7A has a perfect contrast ratio. As a result, it makes for a perfect TV for a dark home theater. Motion: 9.6 Motion looks excellent on the B7A OLED. It has near-instant pixel response time, flicker-free lighting, judder-free 24p playback from almost any source, and 120 fps motion interpolation. The only thing it's missing is black frame insertion, which would've only been useful for gaming or when using motion interpolation. Inputs: 9.2 The B7A OLED can properly display almost all content, including HDR. It also has excellent low input lag, which should please all but the most competitive gamers. Sound Quality: 6.5 The LG B7A features the same "Magic Sound Tuning" room correction feature found on other high-end LG TVs, but it's less powerful set of speakers means its performance is still only average. It's not bad, but a good sound bar will provide a significant upgrade to the sound quality. Smart Features: 8.2 The B7A uses LG's WebOS smart platform, which is fast to navigate, has lots of apps and has a great remote. The interface is split into three sections; apps, settings and inputs; each with its own button on the remote, quick menu and full menu. This makes the interface fast to navigate, but may be confusing for first-time users. The included LG Magic Remote is one of the best and makes a cursor on screen follow the remote's movement, much like a Nintendo Wii remote, which saves time when browsing the TV. Conclusion: 8.6 The LG B7A is a great TV for a mixed usage. Its picture quality is remarkable, and it features a large set of powerful features that make it a well-rounded set fit for almost any usage.

this is simply the best i ever purchase. It has an amazing picture quality, but of course, this tv is really thin so buy a soundbar or a home cinema because the sound is not great at all. I give 5 stars because all the new tv is thin so the sound will not be good with all the newest tv on the market not only with the lg oled tv

Extremely expensive but I love this TV. The picture quality is second to none the audio is great and it was very easy to set up. The inclusion of apps like Netflix, Amazon and Google Play make my TV watching experience very smooth and easy. If you have the money to spare and are looking for a TV I could not recommend this enough.

Wonderful TV! Very happy with this, the most outstanding thing about this set is the colours! As a negative, the set arrives in an energy saving mode which effects the image. I defeated this mode selecting 'Standard' and have never looked back. Highly recommend!
