Really? I thought LG was pretty good. I'd have bought one already but I'm thinking about moving house and I don't want to have to deal with a fragile 55 or 65" TV. Also, I need the money for a downpayment.

I currently have a 32" LG LCD which I'm also pretty happy about. It's obviously no OLED and it's not 4K but for a cheap LCD it's pretty decent. I also love the serial control options (over USB) and I'm working to integrate it with Home assistant (so my screen will dim also when I dim the lights in the room).



Not to derail the overall discussion but LG OLED is still the best blacks and the best option if you can control room lighting. The latest Samsung QLED has gotten closer on blacks (though the latest LG have gotten closer on brights too…) and is still the brightest but neither “beat” the other, it depends on if you want the blackest blacks or the brightest brights. Also of note is the QLED only goes to 65”, LG goes to 83” Check out comparisons on rtings.


Ok for me I'd want the blackest blacks for sure, I would often use my screen in the pitch black. It's because I live in Spain and in the summer I live with the windows wide open and that means that at night I can't have lights on or my house will be swarming with bugs (the creepy crawly kind, not the regular HN kind :P ) You can use netting etc but in my place this is really difficult.

So yeah that would be super important. Thanks for the comparison!


LG were the best since they had a monopoly on OLED TVs but now that Samsung is competing this year they are behind in most metrics.


lol - (owner of 2 because I broke the first one moving) ;-)
