So far... so good!

The TV has only been here a week or so so this isn’t a comprehensive review by any means. But I’ll hopefully add more when I have had a chance to delve into the very detailed menus.
I was worried when I decided to embark on this campaign that OLED tech hadn’t come far enough to cope with my bright, sunny living room. I was wrong - this is brighter than my old LED TV, and then some. I never cease to be amazed at how they manage to get so much into something so thin - this TV is barely thicker than a slice of toast but has everything you could want in one package. So much so that I have binned a few additional devices from my setup. My only gripe with the design is that they didn’t pay enough attention to the connection bay - I’d have liked to have seen some form of panel cover for this so that I didn’t have to see HDMI spaghetti when I walk in the room (see photo).
But as with any TV, it’s the picture quality that should be the star and it is. The 4k upscaling is quite impressive, and when watching native 4k content the picture is sharp and detailed. Black’s are really rich on HDR content, and when watching Dolby Vision content on a streaming service, I’ll let the TV do the adjustments and it looks great so far. Remember to turn TruMotion off though or else you’ll suffer that awful, unnatural and pasty “soap opera effect”. I plan on experimenting much more and I know I get the picture about as perfect as it can get in my room.
Although the TV has Dolby Atmos, I didn’t expect much from this, or any aspect of the sound - how can you when the TV is so thin? And my expectations were bang on as the sound is pretty thin to my ears, so I use my non-LG soundbar via the optical port. Fine for my needs. I wish it would play better though - I wanted to use Bluetooth at first, but the TV doesn’t remember this setting for some reason so you have to keep changing it at every switch-on. Optical is retained though so not a big deal.
All in all, a great start and I think I can get it to improve even more!
