Overview
Gaming at a desk or watching from a bedroom chair suits this compact LG OLED evo, which pairs self-lit pixels with the alpha AI processor and webOS. It stands on its included stand or hangs on a wall mount.
OLED contrast and very fast response in a size that fits a desk is what sets this model apart. The glossy finish picks up reflections, so a dim room or a carefully placed lamp helps.
Who it's for
Small bedrooms, studios and gaming desks match the compact panel. Families watching from across a large room need a bigger screen.
Pros and cons
- Compact OLED for desks and bedrooms
- Very fast pixel response
- Four full bandwidth HDMI inputs
- Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos
- Glossy screen reflects light
- VESA pattern not listed
- Burn-in risk with static HUDs
Performance notes
Self-lit pixels switch off for black, which holds contrast high in a dark room. Variable refresh and the game tools sync the TV to a console or PC to remove tearing. Dynamic tone mapping adjusts HDR scenes frame by frame for the panel's brightness range.
