Gosh the 77 is big but…

So, I took delivery of my 77G2 OLED TV recently. The setup was very straight-forward thanks to some excellent videos provided by LG online. First impression was – wow, this is a big TV. Close up, it fills your field of vision with a bright, vivid picture. This is our first OLED TV, and I can say that it is very impressive, having come from an aging, but still very good plasma TV. But the OLED is in another league.
I love the edge-to-edge picture, with the small bezels of the G2 accentuating the design. In the dark, the picture seems to float in mid-air, with no distractions to the on-screen content. Before viewing the TV, I was concerned about the metal edge strip, and whether this would be a distraction, but actually it is not. The picture on the screen is so immersive that it holds your full attention.
I have seen several other brands of OLED TV, mostly 2021 models, on display in stores, but this 2022 G2 model is the best I have seen. So bright and striking in the highlights and going down into deep deep blacks.
We are still getting used to the TV, but it is very intuitive to use. The WebOS system has most of what you need to access in one place, and its fast, very fast. Hardly any wait for things to load or when switching between connected devices.
If I had to criticise anything it would be the remote control. It looks and feels cheap and is completely out-of-step with the premium look and feel of the screen itself. It works well, but as this is the main tactile interaction with the TV, I would have liked it to feel better in the hand. And in the dark you have to rely completely on memorising where the buttons are, because it does not light up. Come on LG - give us something that does not feel like it came from the supermarket! It’s a minor quibble and the rest of the viewing experience more than makes up for it.
In summary, I cannot praise this TV enough. If I saw this in a friend’s house, I would be completely envious.
