Motion handling is excellent

The interface is easy to use and fast to navigate

It s still too early to determine which format will become dominant
dimming is limited to a few or
3D movies in theaters are only 2K
3D was poorly implemented before that
LCD display requires LED backlighting with some form of local dimming
static images and getting screen burn-in/image retention
video is simply not smooth or sharp
it is not a breakthrough
the memory is cleared as soon as you turn off the TV
LG OLED generation does not support HFR via HDMI
Dimming the logo does not affect the rest of the picture
cost and availability are still obscure at this time
ÃÂThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam
the C8 is thicker near the bottom than it is at the top
it defaulted to Cinema each and every time
Sony was a bit of a beast to hang solo
Sony displays without specialty software and meters
dimming problem is
the ports are the back so in tight spaces
large-screen canvas is not for everyone as it costs
a slightly heavy focus on one of these four pillars
The speakers are not visible right away
need lights shining from the side or the back to display images on the screen
I rarely look behind my TV
losing out on brightness and contrast
Nor can it offer the same lush levels of vividness in bright scenes
the picture looks a little flat and muted
thus lacks some of the new picture features
the bass is understandably limited
image retention and screen burn applies
image darkening and some people will see flicker caused by the black frames
It does not support a new competing standard called HDR+
the noise inherent ns SD TV video
usual HDMI inputs and USB connections
unimpressive part is in things like telling the TV to mute itself
mute key is 4mm away from the microphone key
Everything looks over-saturated and unnatural
suitably equipped and powerful PC
there is no binary winner between the two
The Vivid mode for SDR is overwrought but
The set defaults to an Eco picture preset
TV it replaces was already a doozy
the color bands are really very heavy
The image gets a bit softer
many buyers making more than very occasional use of Gallery
LG sounds a little weedy next to its main rivals
flicker was too obvious
no one supports this open source version of dynamic metadata
smart platform is rather simplistic
format is still missing
poor resolution of motion and far too much flicker
support Dolby Vision
The music mode is a bit too aggressive
the devices have a completely different design
still falls short of some TVs' motion resolution
it no longer supports analog component video
no content you can watch in those formats yet
Long Halftime Walk -- is controversial
the top portion is razor thin at just a quarter-inch deep
there is only basic cable management
banding noticeable in large areas of similar color
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
low input lag with motion interpolation
OLED C8 does not have an analog audio output
