Nano tech 'true black'…

Knowing what I do now, I would not purchase this product at the full RRP.
The positives include some nice AI features that clearly sharpen up both the graphics and sound quality, although i would argue the built in sound is still not as clear as other products available on the market. The AI sound does a good job to adapt output based on content, but I would still recommend a good sound system.
The gaming optimization also boasted some great features, to adjust TV output for FPS and VRR to maximise gameplay.
The WebOS system is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is something i have come to expect from LG.
I went for the 4k option because the cost of technologies to support 8k content across most streaming platforms is still too expensive and consumer demand hasn't quite caught onto the 8k market. The same is true with next generation consoles that are enabled for 8k delivery but due to cost, 8k content is still not available. As such, it felt a bit superfluous to product test an 8k TV for The Insiders campaign, when you cannot do represenative testing of the product with the lack of content that is available.
The negatives really 'darkened' the moment, in the literal sense. With all this next generation technology around true black colours, it felt like LGs nano dot technology tried too hard to over compensate for the darker scenes leading to blurred images, which occasionally felt like I had tunnel vision when watching sci-fi movies with a naturally dark backgrounds.
The dimming function at the 'off' position, allowed for three distinct back lights to show at the bottom of the TV screen. Although you can change the dimming setting to medium or high, which corrects the issue, you're then compounded with the cloudy black colours as mentioned by a few product testers here.
I genuinely feel that LG have let themselves down from their usual reputation and I feel they should be looking to fix these fundermental issues in Beta testing before they ever hit the market. At the very least be transparent with consumers by outlining the potential issues and provide advise on how correct them.
In summary, this product has some really innovative tech features that takes some positive steps in the right direction of next generation LCD TVs, but is let down by attention to detail in how their own technology works.
