I am sure it is a fantastic TV at a very good price but it seems it has a matte screen?

Oh I see, yes it does, and you don’t like them. Oops!

No problem, thanks R2D2. Yes, unfortunately I really don't like matte screens. Strange I know.

After having lived with the 55” C4, my first OLED, for two or so weeks here are some brief impressions;

The good;

Screen uniformity is superb, clean. No shadows or banding. Colours are very decent, Contrast is good/OLED, upscaling is very good. HDR really pops, even after adjusting. Content looks natural in SDR and there is ample brightness available for even daytime viewing in a sunny room. Plenty of adjustments available. Good anti glare coating which still leaves the screen glossy (which I prefer). Good build quality and central stand.



The bad;

Remote control, very slight green tint when viewed at extreme angles. Sound, colour volume still not on par with Quantum Dot.



Not sure;

LG operating system. It works but when I tried to install a VPN it was major headache time and I’ve abandoned the idea. I am used to Tizen and probably prefer Google.



Fazit;



A very good TV with relatively few shortcomings from my non expert/non enthusiasts view. I could live with it but it goes back to Amazon because of the short one year warranty given. I never watch TV in a completely blacked out room so the finer aspects of a real high end set are probably lost on me. I am contemplating perhaps getting the same TV but in a 65” elsewhere but would also like to look at a couple of sets from TCL and Hisense if I can find them anywhere locally.

Is this LG better than my 5 year old Samsung QLED? With some things yes, others no. Had the Samsung not gone faulty I probably would not bother changing.
