    Hey everyone! Thanks for all the great comments and feedback! As usual, not everything can make the cut, but as you probably saw, this was an extremely clean panel and it handled low luminance and low but-depth content really well. No TV is perfect (yet) and all involve a trade-off here or there, but no question: The LG G2 is a top performer in 2022. Now, on to the A95K and some comparisons!

    I basically went through this same process of waffling on QD-OLED vs W-OLED. I ended up getting an LG G2 77" OLED, and I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. My main considerations were 1) new tech vs. established tech, and 2) available screen size. I was worried that there may be some issues with the new tech over the next few years, whereas LG has had a decade to perfect their OLED TV game. Even *after* my purchase, I was having some worries that I made the wrong choice, because QD-OLED did seem to *mostly* be living up to the hype. Ultimately though, I wanted a larger TV for the space I was putting it in, the LG G2 was *also* seeming to live up to the hype, and after having my G2 for a month, I'm so happy with it. It's just an incredible viewing experience, and as indicated in this review - it made movies/shows I've seen multiple times just a richer experience worth revisiting. Finally, my commentary on any brightness issues (without having any experience with QD-OLED other than on store displays) is that my TV is not only bright enough in brighter ambient settings, but it's honestly almost too bright in darker ambient settings. I find myself needing to tune my brightness down for certain content honestly. For my own viewing pleasure/experience, there's isn't a scenario where I would ever have the consideration "Do I need this to be brighter?" Take that for what it's worth.
    Bottom line, I have zero regrets now, and would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a super premium home viewing TV experience. Thanks for all the great reviews/info!

      Agree with the ambient light brightness. I have a room with 2 windows and sun directly hitting in the room most of the day. I was worried about the brightness, but this LG G2 is plenty bright in such setting, I simply wouldn’t want or need something brighter than this, the image is just bright and clear.
      At night the brightness is almost too much indeed. People shouldn’t hesitate to go for this TV it has great advantages (the mat panel was a big turn off for me from the QD OLED) and looks really nice with the gallery design. Only minor is that I’ve been disappointed with the Gallery app on the TV. Sad to see that the content available is quite limited and that there’s no actual fake frame on the photos that display.

      Brightness wars are getting ridiculous. I have a C8 OLED TV, Nano cell 55" for PC and latest 2022 Aero OLED laptop and they all need brightness dialed down to about 50% so my eyes aren't burned out.

    • @hattorihanzo1329
      @hattorihanzo1329 Před rokem +8

      I fully agree. I had first bought the S95B because of the hype and the expectations of this TV had been made true. The S95B is really impressive on almost all fronts and was a replacement for my TV in the gaming room. Then the G2 came out and i was really waiting for an oled TV to hit the 1000 nits mark in HDR with a more relaxing abl then the C2/A80K and at least on par or close with the S95B's abl, to replace my TV in the living room. Second requirement is that it has to be 77 inch. I ordered the 77G2 and thought, if it is really less then the S95B, then i will simply return it and wait another year for the 77 QD-oled. I have spend a lot of time doing side-by-side with the two and overall the G2 got my preference. The G2 is the best 77 inch oled TV you can buy this year and compared to the S95B (there are a lot of fanboys, don't understand why) the difference between both is negligible. I also like that LG oleds in general have a lot of customization options.

I am coming from a 65 C8 and can't wait to get the larger size to fit my viewing distance. Holding on for QD-OLED until it matures, offers a larger size and prices drop.

It has a good amount of hours it's been uses but there are no scratches or dings or anything, I feel like I got lucky and I'm guessing it was the display unit at the store?

I use a 2020 48” C series OLED in my office as my everything display connected to my desktop PC (productivity, PC gaming, and movie watching) one of my biggest reasons for choosing LG is the speed with which it switches between inputs, resolutions, and HDR modes.

    This wasn't mentioned in the review, but the reason the G2 can get much brighter than the C2 in HDR scenes is because of the heatsink. Prior G series models never had a heatsink. I think compared to the C2 or any other of their older models, it is worth the upgrade to the G2.

Between each year the differences are incremental, but now after 6 years it's definitely worth it. This may vary from person to person as my girlfriend probably won't see a ton of differences when asked for it. The leap in size going from 65" to 77" also helps with the experience. All I can say, this is what I wanted 6 years ago when 77" OLED panels were still $ 15.000,-. I'm a happy camper and the next step will be 88" or even 97" OLED. Yeah!!

    For those possibly debating between C2 or G2, I have the C2 77 inch upgrading from a C9 55 inch. While I can't comment on the G2 specifically, I can tell you that the processor in C2/G2 is significantly better than in the C9. The picture in movies and tv show is a lot better! Motion with everything turn off is A LOT better. Picture is a lot clearer and pure. As for brightness, C2 is brighter but what I really enjoy is that the brightness is more control, you actually can turn on DTM and see that the tv is just not getting super over exposed across the board. Its not crazy more brighter but the better control makes for better contrast and better experience. Finally, gaming wise, the C2 is perfect in all way. I actually enjoy very much the dolby vision gaming at 120hz on Series X, no need to play with settings you just enjoy a nice picture and low input lag. All I just said is applicable to the G2 except the brightness which is higher but that would be the only difference and not really a big one in my opinion cause if you have a very lit room you should not get an OLED tv in the first place... so its a non issue really.

    With that said I am in the market for a 55 inch 4K TV. The LG C2, LG qned 85 series and yes the Samsung QLED 90B. Why Samsung again. Not sure why?
    Leaning towards the OLED.....and closer around black Friday to purchase.
    Thanks again for your videos 📹 👍🏼

    I finished up Terminal List last night and notice something curious. Most my HDR content since I got the TV has been in Dolby Vision, and of course I watched the movies in SDR also. I've also played some games on it with my PC and unless I leave a static game image on the screen I've never notice the ABL kick in. However when watching Terminal list which toward the latter half of the series has a lot of sustained darker scenes. I noticed the ABL kick in during dark scenes very frequently, now it doesn't dim it near as dark as my old C9, but it is noticeable. I've watched movies with sustained darker scenes in Dolby vision like Malignant, Stranger Things and Kenobi and never noticed the ABL kick in during those sustained darker scenes. Maybe it was just me, but next time I watch some Dolby Vision content I'll pay more attention.

    Just bought the LG Oled G2 Gallery edition with the matching sound bar. Of course it's all about the viewing and technology.
    But, I am a true believer that a TV has to look just has good when it is off and not in use, has it has when it is on.
    And in this area, there isn't a tv on the market at the moment that can truly beat the aesthetics of this pure thoroughbred stallion from the stables of LG.
    The one thing that I would wish that they would have done with this latest model, was to spend a little more 'design' time on the remote so it paired better with this outstanding design of their tv.

    My best friend just bought the LG G1. All C1 and G1 are on sale. He's leaving his Panasonic Plasma behind.
    Stop listening to the brightness. OLED is bright. And LED LCD is too bright especially if it's 1000+. Brighter is better. HDR looks better with more nits. But, you will turn down the brightness.
    If you have a TV 5yrs old or more? The C1 or G1 will be perfect. If you're a plasma owner? OLED is your tech. Try to grab an LG C1/G1. Nothing beats the motion handling of plasma. But, looking at solid 4k HDR/DV is amazing. You can also turn on motion interpolation just one notch and things should be smooth for your plasma eyes.
    LG C2/G2 are wonderful TV as well. But, for the price point. The LG C1/G1 is more amazing.

    So to be honest, I’ve got a Samsung S95B originally, which turned out to be damaged from the factory with rows of dead pixels. It still worked, and looked amazing, but I sent it back and got the G2 instead. I do not miss the S95B. This thing is incredible.

Color volume is definitely noticeable if you’ve seen both of the TVs, but all the qualities of the G2 just made it a great set for me personally, plus don’t forget that it comes with a 5 year warranty that includes specifically burn in. So it’s a huge piece of mind vs the notorious unreliability and lack of QC on Samsung side plus only a single year of warranty that does not cover burn in. So it’s a simple choice for me.

    Great review! I just finally got my 83" G2 installed over the weekend. Still scratching the surface but coming from a 77" C8, the impressions are great. I can see the additional detail from the processor for cable and HD content, I can see the increased brightness in both SDR and HDR highlights, and the gaming features are amazing!. QD-OLED wasn't an option since I wanted a larger screen size but i would venture to bet that in the vast majority of content available today, the difference between a G2 and an QD-OLED would be slight at best. Overall, G2 is an awesome TV.

Can’t imagine what the sets will be like in a couple of years time when they’ve had time to really push and get used to the technology. With a heat sink, qd-oled will be able to match lcd for brightness in the future.

      Hey the G2 has ASBL as well, the heatsink does make it less aggressive than other TV’s, but it can also be disabled in the service menu. The G2 does come with a 5 year warranty, so it’s not as big of a concern to turn it off, you do run the risk of them denying your warranty claim if something does happen, but you can always go back into the menu and turn it back on so you can bail out at anytime and so they don’t find out.
      The two settings are ASBL and GSR that you want to change, there’s lots of videos on how to do it.
