Pros and cons
According to our television expert
- With to the OLED screen, you can watch realistic images with deep black levels and true-to-nature colors.
- The 10-bit screen ensures an image with vibrant and realistic color details.
- With AirPlay, you can easily stream photos and videos from your Apple devices to the TV.
- This TV doesn't have an OLED Evo screen, so the screen is less bright than those of the C3 and G3 televisions.
- Because there's no subwoofer, you can't hear the bass as well during action movies for example.
Description
With the LG OLED55B36LA (2023), you can stream all your favorite content in lifelike image quality. The OLED screen has a powerful contrast and displays a wide color gamut. The screen consists of millions of pixels that light up or dim individually. That way, black is truly black and the TV controls the colors very accurately. You can see all the subtle color tones in HDR movies and series that way, like all the shades of blue in a clear summer sky. Most streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video support HDR video, so you can watch your favorite movies and series with a realistic color representation. Have an Apple device, like an iPhone or iPad? Easily share your screen via AirPlay 2 on the TV, so you can watch a thrilling series or show your friends your vacation photos on the TV.
Like to game with a new gaming console? This LG OLED television has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. That way, you can game in 4K resolution and with a 120Hz refresh rate. As a result, your games are razor-sharp and smooth and you won't miss a moment of the action. The VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) ensures the TV has the same refresh rate as your console, so you won't have to deal with stuttering images.

I was able to test this product for several weeks as a product tester.
The first thing I notice as soon as I turn on the television is the beautiful image quality. The colors are crystal clear with a striking contrast, beautifully deep blacks and the image is razor sharp. You can enjoy the fantastic image from all angles. The television has a nice design and the image is only a few millimeters thick. The television is easy to use because you work from a home page. Here you can quickly switch between apps, but also to the other products that the television has to offer. Such as screen expansion of your home workplace, connection options with your Apple product (to play photos or music, among other things) or others. Remote control is partly traditional with the number buttons. But direct dial buttons to well-known streaming apps, a scrolling mechanism and a pointing function have also been added. The latter is so sharply adjusted that you have to get used to it, because with the slightest movement you can click a button next to it. You are not dependent on this, so if you do not like this, you can use the remote control using only the buttons. In addition to good picture quality, the television also has beautiful sound. The volume of the television can increase considerably, but the quality does not decrease.
Two negative points we encountered during testing: You need an account with LG to download (free) apps. Occasionally disconnects from the Apple product.

Beautiful TV with a razor-sharp image
- Color and black reproduction
- Brightness
- Thin edges
- Some settings are a bit more difficult to configure
OLED; Incredibly Vivid And Profound. That's how you could describe the image of this TV. I already knew from my mobile phone that OLED is a significant advance compared to previous technologies, but to see it on such a large screen is a real plus. Just like on your phone, the contrast is enormous. Black is really black and the colors pop thanks to the brightness of your screen, no matter what angle you look from. Because the TV supports 4k, it is very clear. This also applies to the sound, which stands out in a positive way; clear and for a flat TV it has enough body. It can also be quite loud. Compared to our old TV, this is a lot larger, but due to the narrow bezels this is almost not noticeable. The design turned out well anyway; the TV is very thin at the top, which gives you a wow feeling. However, you have to be careful when moving the TV. The supplied base is nice and solid, but not too present. You can also easily place a speaker in front of it. The remote control has also been carefully considered. It fits comfortably in the hand and, in addition to the standard buttons, contains buttons for Netflix and Amazon Prime, among others. It is also very useful that you can use the remote control as a mouse pointer, although it takes some time to find out exactly how to switch between the two. And speaking of switching gears; Switching between apps or settings is super fast. Browsing or loading the apps is done in the blink of an eye. Here you will notice that the TV has a powerful processor. In any case, everything is easy to find. In short, definitely recommended.

Great TV for a great price
- Service
- Image quality
- Not tight/close to the wall
Sleek TV with nice picture quality. Operation is easy and so is the installation. Lots of extras in the menu. Soundbar also easily connected. Black is also black during a broadcast.
