LG OLED65G7V 65 "

Stylish, slim, effective

The premium 65-inch OLED TV of 2017 is made in the original "Image on Glass" design. If you do not take into account the thickness of the folding bottom stand, which also acts as a soundbar, then the LG OLED65G7V screen itself with an invisible glass base is actually ultra-thin — only 2.5 cm.

In the related flagship model OLED65W7V, the screen and soundbar were smashed, but in this regard, the 2.5-cm display can only be fixed on the wall. The G7V panel can also be installed on horizontal surfaces, while it looks just as impressive, but costs less.

OLED capabilities

The use of organic light emitting diodes provides LG OLED65G7V excellent picture quality. UltraHD resolution is complemented by Active HDR support with Dolby Vision. This standard is simply created for cinephiles. They get a bright image (against the backdrop of early OLED panels, where brightness was a relatively weak point) with excellent detail and flawless blacks. Pixel-by-pixel dimming, rather than local dimming, improves contrast and is responsible for accurate colour reproduction. At the same time, the coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space is close to the peak capabilities of modern digital cinemas — 99%.

Movie sound

The LG OLED65G7V is initially offered with a high-quality 4.2 speaker system. This is a 4-channel 60W soundbar built into the base with a pair of subwoofers. The "chip" of the audio system is support for Dolby Atmos. This is an objective audio format that "binds" sound to individual points in space, thereby providing additional depth and richness to the sound.

By the way, gamers will also be pleased with the minimum input lag at the level of 21 ms, which so far has nothing to cover with other manufacturers of OLED panels.

LG's traditional TV features include the webOS 3.5 platform, a smart remote with support for voice commands, multiformat, streaming video playback, and the ability to view content from any home device.

The disadvantages of the LG OLED65G7V include the price, as well as the lack of 3D. For such money, I want even not the most popular functions to be available “just in case”. Otherwise, the purchase of this TV is an investment with a good foundation for the future in terms of supported technologies and features.
