LG G1 OLED

The LG G1 OLED is an amazing overall TV. It delivers stunning picture quality for dark room viewing because of its near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It's also good to use in well-lit rooms for watching sports or TV shows as it has fantastic reflection handling, and the wide viewing angles make it suitable for wide seating areas. HDR content looks amazing as it displays a wide color gamut and has decent HDR peak brightness, enough to make highlights stand out. Gamers should appreciate the variable refresh rate (VRR) support and HDMI 2.1 inputs. Unfortunately, it has the risk of permanent burn-in, so it may not be the best choice to use solely as a PC monitor.
