Pros and cons

According to our television expert
  • The OLED screen offers you an image with a high contrast ratio and lifelike colors.
  • UHD premium delivers a higher brightness and wider color gamut than standard UHD.
  • Thanks to the 10-bit panel, you can view realistic and colorful HDR images with this TV.
  • The a7 processor provides less powerful image enhancement than the a9 processor of the C series.

Slight case of cognitive dissonance...

  • Beautiful design
  • Does its job well but cannot replace a surround system, certainly without rear speakers
  • Bass is disappointing

Fantastic TV for a reasonable price

  • Thin screen, nice model

Great TV! Been using it for 1 week and very satisfied.

Before this I was in possession of a 55 Inch LG 55SJ850V TV that was only 4 months old, but this new TV surpasses it on all points. Once OLED and you don't want anything else. It's the best thing for sale right now. The LG 55SJ850V was also a very nice TV for that price, but if you want one of the best OLED devices for a reasonable price, you will come to this one.

The design is beautiful and has a premium look, very thin and looks great in the living room.
Even when the TV is turned off, it is a beautiful eye-catcher.

The image is quite good out of the box but could still use some attention, after adjusting the values it is simply a beautiful image and there is absolutely no bleeding that occurs with edge-led devices. You can't find anything better for this price/quality ratio. SD, HD, 4K and dolby vision images are very realistic and well displayed, a real plus of this TV. Youtube in 4K and Netflix in 4K are a real pleasure to watch, not to mention the movies in 4K HDR or dolby vision.

The sound is very good for a flat TV, the previous one was already a good 2.2 system, but this TV surpasses everything! Lots of bass and clear tones, so a very good 2.2 sound system. It is more than enough for standard TV and movies, but if you want the cinema feeling then I switch on the 5.1 home cimena surround system and turn off the TV speakers.

As far as I'm concerned a big 9.5 for the price / quality ratio

Large TV/screen with excellent picture and sound

  • Large screen with option to hang up or place on a supplied stand
  • Sound is fantastic. Clear, surround, bass
  • Picture is super sharp and clear and the TV is super thin
  • Power cable is a bit short, but not disturbing for where I have it

The TV hangs fine on the wall. Bracket to be purchased separately. Picture and sound are great. Especially the sound surprised me positively.
Netflix can be watched directly on the TV. There's even a separate button for the remote.
Particularly user-friendly and intuitive menu with many (pre-) setting options for image and sound (darker image or lighter, etc.)
