LG G3 Series 77-Inch Class OLED evo 4K Processor Smart Flat Screen TV for Gaming with Magic Remote AI-Powered Gallery Edition OLED77G3PUA, 2023 with Alexa Built-in

This is an older model as LG has entered into the market with the G5 model which means an all new processor. However, I don't watch OTA or cable tv. I use the TV for my media files (Nvidia Shield Pro TV streamer) and some streaming services such as Amazon Prime TV, Fandango, etc. This TV was relegated to a bed room and required a wall mount which was easy enough to do with the help of a second person to lift the TV up. Otherwise, the rest I could do myself.The picture quality is very good and as everyone has different preferences, it remained with some good useful choices including mine which was a "filmmakers mode" slightly adjusted. Again, I watch mostly movies and some old TV shows.The audio is on the better side of typical of flat tv's in that it is not room filling nor presenting an optimal stage. In our case, it resides in a small room and angled with the back slightly facing a corner. It turns out, due to lower volumes that the TV's own sound was more than sufficient and work rather well. It was fully appreciated. I would however, recommend at least a middle qualty/level soundbar at minimum if you want a bit more impact.The remote is typical of LG. Some will like it and some not. I found it easy and intuitive and it not only handles the TV but with its arc for HDMI connection, it controls my streamer mentioned above quite well. I'll add that while my streamer in some instances does a better job with the same streaming source than the TV, the TV does much better than expected and in most cases, people will be happy with running Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime, ATV etc right from the TV itself. Well done.The bad ... well not so bad... I prefer more stripped down screens. LG runs with WebOS which is rather busy and requires various choices which for some is good and for me, well uninterested in most of what is offered up. I prefer LESS and I believe a few other folks might agree.For those looking for a tv that might be discounted (if still available) give it a serious look. I appreciated this TV so much we went and got another LG (larger size) for another room.

If you’re anything like me you’ve done tons of research in thinking about buying a new TV. I previously had a 58” Panasonic plasma TV that was still going strong after more than 10 years of faithful service. It has a beautiful picture and there was nothing wrong with it at all. However, after 10 years the 58” was starting to feel small with all these 65”, 77” 85” and larger screen sizes. The biggest thing I knew I was missing was the ability to display high dynamic range (HDR) images. After a ton of research my two choices came down to this TV and the Sony XR A95L OLED TV. I really really wanted to go with the Sony for the Sony image processor but when I looked at that TV compared to this TV in person there just didn’t seem to be enough difference between the two to justify another $1500 for the Sony.I absolutely love this TV. The G-series is truly a work of art when off and an absolute beauty when on. The edge bezels are so thin they absolutely disappear when viewing content. There is no gaudy LG branding anywhere on the TV which is nice. The TV does NOT come with a base stand but a slim flush mount wall mount. I live in an old house with old walls and I’ve found that the studs aren’t always 16” on center and combined with old lathe and plaster walls I am always hesitant to start drilling and hanging things - especially something this heavy - from these old walls. Also, I have a perfectly good TV entertainment center stand that I didn’t want to get rid of. I searched out a few aftermarket TV stands here on Amazon and ended up going with the “SANUS Universal TV Stand - Large Swivel Base Replacement TV Stand for Screens Up to 86". It ended up working great!There’s no use going into detail about how beautiful the picture is with this TV if you’ve done in-store and online research. It just is. It’s beautiful. This TV sits in a moderately lit living room and it is plenty bright enough to combat reflections. Of course during the mid day if pure sunlight is coming in from the window you’re going to see it. But the brightness factor is something that has plagued OLED technology and this particular TV is extremely bright. Combine the high brightness with the LG screen coating and it does an excellent job of combating glare. Connected to a PS5, a 4K AppleTV, and a Sony 4K Blue-Ray player this TV just continues to blow me away in its picture quality. I have zero regrets in buying this TV and saving the $1500 Sony tax.If I have one complaint - two really - it would be the clunky remote control and the TV’s on screen menus. I can’t stand the odd shaped LG magic remote control with its motion tracking and less than stellar scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is also the enter button and more often than not when I push downward to “enter” the scroll wheel moves ever so slightly and scrolls something on screen. So annoying. The on screen menus are less than impressive as well. Some menus are opaque and some are randomly transparent. Some sections of the menu have explanations and some don’t. Sometimes when in a sub menu you are adjusting the setting and for no reason whatsoever it stops adjusting the setting and goes back a submenu. Some of the menu descriptions are in “good” English and some are in what feel like an AI translation of Korean-to-English. For such a beautiful television it’s a bit of a disappointment that the two main interfaces with the TV are less than stellar. Are those two niggles enough to NOT buy this TV? No. Are those two niggles enough to spend an extra $1500 and buy the Sony competitor? Not in my opinion.This TV has all the HDMI input you could most likely ever need unlike its Sony and Samsung competitors. Personally I run all my equipment through my A/V receiver and then run one 8k HDMI cable to the TV but if you don’t I can’t imagine you’d run out of HDMI inputs. The video game picture mode is super cool and allows you to dial in hyper fast zero lag screen displays and a unique gaming settings menu with one push of the settings button on the remote.All in all this TV has far exceeded my hopes and expectations for a new high end 4K television.
