    What do you think about LG TVs?
    karly.heidenreich
    over 1 year ago
    I think that LG’s TVs are overrated, because the picture quality is not as good as other brands and the price for the same features is often higher.

LG's least-expensive OLED is the best high-end TV value

It's not cheap, but LG's "entry-level" OLED outperforms any LCD we've tested.

LG has been busy moving the OLED TV game on but unlike last year, the B8 seems to be pegged back from the rest of the family line-up with the use of a lower grade processor. But does that really...

LG upgrades its 'entry-level' OLED TV for 2018 – and the results are sensational

LG OLED55B8 4K HDR OLED TV review

For the past few years, LG has pursued 
a policy of giving every OLED TV series in any given year’s range more or less the same picture quality. For 2018, though, it tried something different. Its entry-level B8 TVs 
use a less powerful processor than the C8, E8 and W8 siblings, enabling it to sell this 55in set for £1,200 – versus £1,800 for the step-up 55C8.
