Absolutely Flawless Picture!

I have owned a LG GX55 for 18 months now, LGs first model of their gallery wall mounted TV and it was by far the most beautiful and best TV I’ve owned! So, when the I received the newest model of LG’s Gallery TV, the G2, I was expecting it to be good, but nothing special over and above my current TV, how could it be? Well, I was wrong!
The new silver bezel around the outside looks even more stunning than the black trim on previous models. The gallery wall mount bracket works in exactly the way and sits completely flush on the wall.
When first plugging in I noticed straight away how quick the TV interface is thanks to its new A9 Gen 5 processor. And this new processor really moves into its own as far as the upscaling goes. Whilst watching Freeview HD channels, if you weren’t told otherwise, you would assume they were in 4K, the upscaling is really that good! On this basis, you can only begin to imagine how good the picture is when watching actual 4k movies. It truly is a masterpiece, absolutely stunning! The picture on my old LG OLED is great with blacks being truly black, but the extra brightness on this set really makes a noticeable difference in the brighter screens and the contrast and takes it to that next level again. And before I forget to mention, gaming on my PS5 – just wow!
The sound quality of TV is surprisingly impressive for such a thin set, but I only tested it briefly as I have an Atmos surround system. If you have arguably the best OLED TV out there, it makes sense to get yourself a soundbar or surround system to get that true cinema experience at home.
The magic remote is great to use and really leads the way in the TV market. I love the Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video and Alexa buttons at the bottom for quick access, although you can easily add custom shortcuts to the remote for other apps, channels and inputs. One complaint I have with the remote is the lack of a play and pause button making it a more cumbersome to pause live TV should you have a HDD connected like I do. Hopefully a future software update will make this easier. Update - the software updated this week and you can now easily pause TV!
Minor gripe with the remote aside, this is the best TV I have owned in terms of looks, picture quality and interface. It really is something else and I can confidently recommend it to anyone wishing to upgrade their TV and get the best picture possible all from the comfort of your sofa!
