Good first impressions

The 65B2 is a bright, enjoyable Oled. Out of the box the picture is clear, but highly saturated. After a bit of playing around in the picture settings it looks much more true to life. I felt all the AI settings were poor and gave some strange artefacts for almost any movement on screen. It's almost nauseating. Once that was turned off, the picture popped.
I've used the previous years OLED to some degree and there are lots of familiarities here, the remote is the same and the menu is no different to before (including those pesky adverts that take up 70% of the screen... Still unacceptable).
In the settings, there's an additional 'multi-view' page which allows you to watch side-by-side or picture-in-picture modes of multiple sources. This is a great addition to those that watch sports on one screen!
As ever, LGs panel is fantastic. After removing any annoying AI settings, you're met with a beautiful display. Putting on a Dolby Vision show on a streaming service is brilliant, though there does seem to be some pixelation on some sources or media. This looks a bit fuzzy on some colours, but is generally something you can ignore and forget most of the time.
The version I have here is not the Evo version, so is does not have the extra brightness that's present in the new tech. Not that it matters too much as the panel is bright enough in a moderately lit room.
Games and PC content is smooth at 120fps on the 120hz panel. Though it's probably a little too big to work or play games on at a desk, it's fast panel is excellent for the latest games consoles. There appears to be enough tech in the LG to stop any pesky screen burn which is a bonus for those who play games with a HUD.
I would recommend this TV to people without a doubt, but I may possibly recommend the previous year's model over this one. This model doesn't appear to have many more features than last year's model, and the new features it does have probably don't warrant an upgrade on this price. If you could, grab last year's C2, which is still one of the best TVs on the market. Though anyone who buys the B2 will be happy with their purchase!
