LG Corporation (or LG Group), formerly known as Lucky-Goldstar, is a South Korean multinational conglomerate founded by Koo In-hwoi and managed by successive generations of his family. It is the fourth-largest chaebol (family-run conglomerate) in South Korea. Its headquarters are in the LG Twin Towers building in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo District, Seoul. LG makes electronics, chemicals, household appliances, and telecommunications products and operates subsidiaries such as LG Electronics, Zenith, LG Display, LG Uplus, LG Innotek, LG Chem, and LG Energy Solution in over 80 countries. According to the “Top 500 Global Brands” released by British consulting firm Brand finance, LG’s brand value ranking rose from 90th to 83rd from the previous year.
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED), also known as organic electroluminescent (organic EL) diode, is a type of light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is an organic compound film that emits light in response to an electric current. This organic layer is situated between two electrodes; typically, at least one of these electrodes is transparent. OLEDs are used to create digital displays in devices such as television screens, computer monitors, and portable systems such as smartphones and handheld game consoles. A major area of research is the development of white OLED devices for use in solid-state lighting applications.
There are two main families of OLED: those based on small molecules and those employing polymers. Adding mobile ions to an OLED creates a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) which has a slightly different mode of operation. An OLED display can be driven with a passive-matrix (PMOLED) or active-matrix (AMOLED) control scheme. In the PMOLED scheme, each row and line in the display is controlled sequentially, one by one, whereas AMOLED control uses a thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane to directly access and switch each individual pixel on or off, allowing for higher resolution and larger display sizes. OLEDs are fundamentally different from LEDs, which are based on a p-n diode crystalline solid structure. In LEDs, doping is used to create p- and n-regions by changing the conductivity of the host semiconductor. OLEDs do not employ a crystalline p-n structure. Doping of OLEDs is used to increase radiative efficiency by direct modification of the quantum-mechanical optical recombination rate. Doping is additionally used to determine the wavelength of photon emission.
OLED displays are made in a similar way to LCDs, including manufacturing of several displays on a mother substrate that is later thinned and cut into several displays. Substrates for OLED displays come in the same sizes as those used for manufacturing LCDs. For OLED manufacture, after the formation of TFTs (for active matrix displays), addressable grids (for passive matrix displays), or indium tin oxide (ITO) segments (for segment displays), the display is coated with hole injection, transport and blocking layers, as well with electroluminescent material after the first two layers, after which ITO or metal may be applied again as a cathode. Later, the entire stack of materials is encapsulated. The TFT layer, addressable grid, or ITO segments serve as or are connected to the anode, which may be made of ITO or metal. OLEDs can be made flexible and transparent, with transparent displays being used in smartphones with optical fingerprint scanners and flexible displays being used in foldable smartphones.
Smart may refer to a high level of intelligence or "street smarts".
"Smart" or SMART may also refer to the following.
webOS, also known as LG webOS and previously known as Open webOS, HP webOS and Palm webOS, is a Linux kernel-based multitasking operating system for smart devices such as smart TVs that has also been used as a mobile operating system. Initially developed by Palm, Inc. (which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard), HP made the platform open source, at which point it became Open webOS.
The operating system was later sold to LG Electronics, and was made primarily a smart TV operating system for LG televisions as a successor to NetCast. In January 2014, Qualcomm announced that it had acquired technology patents from HP, which included all the webOS and Palm patents; LG licenses them to use in their devices.
Various versions of webOS have been featured on several devices since launching in 2009, including Pre, Pixi, and Veer smartphones, TouchPad tablet, LG's smart TVs since 2014, LG's smart refrigerators and smart projectors since 2017.

Let me start this review off by going right at everyone’s fear that want to buy an Oled TV but fear the word “Burn in” by stating the history of OLED TVs I’ve owned. I am a heavy gamer and my tv is on for over 8+ hrs a day between my little one, my wife and then myself gaming at night. I had a C6 that developed burn in after 2 years (roughly 8000 hrs in) gaming heavy and not understanding the whole “burn in effect”. My warranty replacement was the C8 and I gamed even longer and harder on this set and had 0 burn in effects. The company has made huge strides in helping almost eliminate this from happening. Can it happen if you leave a static image on screen for hours upon hours, weeks after weeks, months after months? Yes! But knowing this and just in generally speaking, not many people watch the same thing every day for hours on end without mixing it up? It’s very rare with these current models because of all the tools LG added to the TV like Screen shift, Screen saver, Logo Luminanve Adjuster and Pixel Refresher. You do not have to worry about burn in with these new sets.
First off, the picture quality is top notch. I dont think there is another tv on the market (especially at $2800) that produces this level of on screen beauty. Color accuracy, pure black levels really make the colors pop off the screen, amazing contrast, etc… Anyone who says these tvs dont get bright enough have not sat in front of the tv. Its blinding! The HDR is beautiful! The upscaling is the best this series has ever had to offer. I believe they stressed the new A9 gen 3 chip was heavily focused on improving the upscaling, and you can really see it with this model (especially coming from a C8). The AI Picture and Sound features are huge upgrades and the great thing about them is you get to see a first hand example of their effects in the tv setup options. The AI picture mode really does a great job with human faces. The AI sound mode really helps single out the talking over the loud background sounds. In general it makes the tv so much louder at lower volume settings.
Now on to the reason I wanted this TV so bad and what makes this tv the best in the business. It is designed to be a gaming tv. Usually when you think Oled, you are thinking about a high quality 4k movie watching tv. Well now not only is it that, but now it’s a top notch gaming tv that easily rivals the best gaming monitors out there. It is fully future proof for the new systems coming. The tv has HDMI 2.1 which the new systems will take advantage of. It has insanely low response times with 4k 120hz BFI (Black Frame Insertion. It comes with built in Nvidia G sync and VRR. The Xbox X currently let’s you use VRR and auto low latency on this tv along with 1440P 120 if desired.
Graphically it’s the best looking tv I’ve ever gamed on. The HDR lighting is much improved from my C8. I think because this set gets a bit brighter than my C8. It also has Dynamic tone mapping which adds a beautiful little extra brightness to your game picture quality (if you prefer it). And it also has HGIG but as far as I understand, not many games use it currently so I notice the lighting still looks better with Dynamic Tone Mapping alone without the HGIG. Also I notice in faster moving games that I have more control. Like in NHL Hockey 20 and Call of Duty, I can actually feel a difference in what I assume to be the better response time with VRR and Auto low latency checked on. I’m not sure what exactly technology is working here but all I can say is what I physically feel. And it’s an improvement from my C8. (More control) I cant imagine how it’s only gonna get better as the new systems are improving these areas.
I must apologize for all the things I’ve left out, like the amazing operating system WebOS which is silly smooth and fast controlled by the magic remote (which is like a Wii remote you point and click). Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, HDR 10.
All in all, I highly and strongly recommend this tv for anyone looking to upgrade. If you are a movie buff or a gamer, this tv is a no brainers. The best part is it is close to $1000 cheaper than its usual release price. Kudos to LG for getting it out with a great price point. Get this tv and enjoy its beauty!
Pictures I post dont do it justice. My camera cannot capture the detail and it add blooming that is not visible on my tv. Black is black!

So I had bought a LG nanocell when COVID started, then after many reviews on here and through other channels. saved my coins and bought the TV. I have always been looking at a screen and thought what is better when i look at this in all of 65″ i think There IS NO better Tv right now even shows in 1080 or less like this episode of Law & Order looks wicked! 8k is coming sure but until LG gets 8k Oled I will be watching all my movies and shows. playing my Xbox Series X on this bady boy. the gaming is incredible, when i play COD Black war Cold War it looks awesome 4K @ 120mhz perfection. when i get a PS5 i will be more happier than in a hog in mud. If you can afford this or you are saving up get this.

If you want deep blacks and infinite contrast with the best viewing angles than any other TV, This LG CX is a beauty to watch; I’m loving it. Let me add to this; it has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports at 4K 120hz with Freesync and G-sync, Dolby Atmos/Vision and as well HDR, Apple AirPlay and smart commands with Alexa and Google. The LG CX is fully loaded.

Amazing 4k TV! Even got it on sale. Quality of the picture is fantastic, lots of options on it too. Connecting it up to my soundbar and Fios TV was a snap. Sadly, Fios TV only has 2 channels broadcasting in 4k currently (and they don’t have content on there a lot, usually just a random sports game). Amazon Prime Video has some 4k content though, and looks great on this TV. Built in TV speakers are fine, but I would suggest investing in a good soundbar to compliment this TV. As for the potential burn in issue, there are settings you can adjust to minimize that chance. Definitely recommend this TV if its within your budget! 🙂

Had been using a Sony Bravia x900e 49″ tv for the past year or so but i didnt like the halo effect i would get on a dark image. Decided to upgrade to an OLED and omfg i love this tv. From the look to the images this tv is a beast. Legit two other people in my family have now bought this tv after seeing mine. There’s nothing to think about just by it. You will need two people to get it in place though. Screen is thinner than a pencil so an extra hand is a must. You will no regret your purchase you have my word. I honestly regretted the sony the entire time i had it. Send the 2,200 and save yourself an extra tv upgrade. I will not need an upgrade until 8k is were 4k is now. Only suggestion is maybe wait till February for the 2021 line up and the CX should be at least 300-500 dollars cheaper.

Amazing… Buy Now the picture and detail is mind blowing . No need for sound bar this tv sounds good out the box . One week in no issues what so ever.

This 65” OLED TV has a great picture and sound quality. I am upgrading from 55” to 65” and it definitely is nice to have the larger, clear image for watching TV in our large family room. I liked the discounted price for this TV. I am using it without a sound bar and the sound quality is great by itself. The installation team of Tyler and Nate were efficient, polite and professional in setting it up, mounting it and getting us started!

WOW. I’ve had a high end Samsung LED QUHD TV for four years now and after turning this baby on, WOW. You cannot get better than this. I popped in God of War on my PS5 and was blown away. LoTRs in 4k looked amazing too. The blacks are black as night. This TV just disappears in dark scenes and the contrast with brights and colors – WOAH. I waited/searched for 4 months until this TV came back in stock and let me tell you – it was worth the wait. 12/10!
