We tested the LG 65 inch G1 (OLED65G1), which also comes in 55 inch and 77 inch models. For the most part, we expect our results to be valid for those models as well. Size The LG G1 has excellent gray uniformity. There's minimal dirty screen effect in the center, and the entire screen looks uniform. Like other OLEDs, there are faint vertical lines in near-dark scenes, but you'll only notice them if you really look for them. We tested the SDR brightness after calibration in the 'Expert (dark space, night)' Picture Mode with OLED Pixel Brightness at its max, Peak Brightness on 'High', and Color Temperature set to 'Warm 50'. If you want a slightly brighter image, set the Picture Mode to 'Standard', OLED Pixel Brightness and Contrast to their max, and Auto Dynamic Contrast and Peak Brightness on 'High'. However, we only reached 427 cd/m² in the 2% window using these settings, so it doesn't make the screen much brighter and results in a less accurate image. If you comeacross a different type of panel or your LG G1 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update the review. Note that some tests like gray uniformity may vary between individual units.

LG OLED65G1 Evo OLED TV review | What Hi-Fi?

This is where the also new Cinematic Movement option comes in. This doesn’t reduce judder as much, but avoids pretty much all digital processing ‘nasties’. So for me it’s the better option with 24p movie sources. Cinematic Movement seems best suited for films, Natural for broadcast TV, and Smooth Movement for sports. There’s no one-size fits all, so the G1’s motion processing is solid rather than impressive, and for my two cents, still behind the likes of Panasonic and Sony (although I’ve not seen their latest TVs, yet).Using a huge database of over one million visual date points, AI Picture Pro uses deep-learning algorithms to recognise content, remove noise and optimise the picture. AI Sound Pro leans from more than 17 million audio data points, identifying voices, effects and frequencies. From here, it optimises the sound by genre, giving a more natural sound quality. For most people, though, little tweaking will be necessary. Dolby Vision content will by default activate the Dolby Vision Cinema Home preset and AI Brightness Setting, and that equates to a Dolby Vision IQ performance. It’s well worth leaving these settings as they are, as the performance is in line with our expectations of Dolby Vision, and the IQ element improves dark detail when viewing in a well-lit room without tampering with the performance under ideal conditions.

sees Freeview Play return after a year’s absence, with the UK catch-up TV apps and EPG present and correct in their little silo. The convenience Freeview Play offers is something potential TV buyers do look for. It also encounters trouble with panning shots, where K’s Spinner flies through the dreary Los Angeles landscape of Blade Runner 2049, for example, or where Persephone, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity walk through a kitchen in The Matrix Reloaded (4K HDR10). Motion presents smearing and an artificiality that’s at its strongest with the Smooth Movement option. To be more specific, AI Picture Pro can now recognise if an incoming image contains scenery, a cityscape or night footage, and locally ‘massage’ parts of the picture to enhance this sort of content’s impact and realism. Plus the new processor can look for skin tones and individual objects in the picture and subtly refine and emphasise them without impacting other areas of the picture. All with a view to creating an image that better reflects the way your eyes see the real world.

Widely regarded as one of the best smart TV platforms, LG’s webOS system continues to set the standard. The latest webOS 22 offers improved personalisation and recommendations. You can create up to six personalised profiles, with individual viewing suggestions, sport alerts and app lists. Pictures on the OLED65G1, regardless of whether you’re watching TV or gaming, are consistently and jaw-droppingly spectacular. Not least because the combination of the new panel and improved processing has enabled LG to either improve or full-on fix just about everything that’s been a problem for the brand’s previous OLED efforts. For many users and a lot of content, though, I see the much-improved AI Picture Pro system as a pretty irresistible way of adding more drama, sharpness and dynamism to the viewing experience. For ultimate detail, in all environments, this LG OLED features Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit. Fabulous for films I've had the LG 77" for about a month now, our first LG. During that time we've watched several 4K films off disc and watched

The OLED65G1 features a refinement on the Gallery design LG introduced in 2020 with a view to creating the ultimate wall-hanging TV. It sports a slim, flat rear, and provides helpful cable channeling for its built-in connections. The 2021 refinements include making the rear substantially slimmer than last year’s, and adding a recess to the rear panel into which the wall mount can slot, enabling the TV to sit completely flush to the wall. This sound configuration also reminds us that the LG G1 follows all of LG’s recent OLEDs by carrying a built-in Dolby Atmos sound system. That’s not the only Dolby connection, either, for the set additionally supports the Dolby Vision HDR format. This adds extra scene by scene picture information that compatible TVs can use to deliver more dynamic picture quality results.You can access your webOS TV profile via your smartphone with the NFC Magic Tap app. Even better, NFC Magic Tap lets you mirror content from your mobile to the TV – and not just a single TV. You can mirror content from one TV in your home, to another, using the Room To Room Share function. This lets you view cable or satellite content on multiple screens, without the need for additional set-top boxes. The LG G1's HDR brightness in Game Mode is okay. The real scene brightness is less than outside of Game Mode, but the visual difference is minimal. The EOTF is the same in Game Mode as outside of it.

LG G1 OLED Evo (OLED55G1) review: Picture perfect | Trusted

We’re onto the α9 Gen 4 AI processor and new features include Scene Detection and Object Enhancement. The former optimises a scene depending on its type, while the latter trains its focus on faces and objects to offer more definition. The LG G1 has fantastic accuracy after calibration. There are almost no virtual color or white balance inaccuracies, and gamma is perfect. Color temperature also improved and it's nearly spot-on with our 6500K target. Still, watching La La Land and Interstellar in the mode produces slightly more accurate colours and ekes out a smidge more brightness over the Home Cinema picture mode. I dig it. Next, we measure for luminance and colour changes at 10-degree horizontal intervals up to 55 degrees, and 10-degree vertical intervals up to 30 degrees.As usual with a premium LG TV, the OLED G1 supports the Dolby Vision and HLG formats of high dynamic range (HDR) technology, alongside the industry standard HDR10 format. There is no support for the rarer (in source terms) HDR10+ format.
