Our exclusive Tom’s Guide TV testing results backed up what I saw in hours of watching, for the most part. The clear skies in these scenes didn’t produce any unsightly banding, either. But the GX maintained the brightness and color, even past a 45-degree angle. In shots of sunlit, snowy mountains, it’s normal for the powder to look blue and shadowy when I watch from off-center.
Switching over to a 4K disc of Planet Earth, I started to appreciate the Gallery Series wide-viewing angles. I will say the Sony Bravia A8H OLED does better at handling subtle differences in blacks, though - at times I couldn’t see the shape of the captain’s inky uniform lapel as clearly as I’d like. When the bridge switched to red lighting to preserve the crew’s night vision, the warm hues flooded Hank’s face without sacrificing the exhausted expression of a man who’s fended off U-Boats for 40 hours straight. The deadly missile soared with razor-sharp suspense just beneath the ocean’s wake, only releasing my breath when it ricocheted off Greyhound’s hull. Then, as another torpedo sailed towards Tom Hank’s ship, the GX similarly flexed its motion handling. Across the vast darkness of the Atlantic, fiery distress rockets flared toward the sky signaling torpedo attacks among the ally supply fleet, showing off the set’s ability to provide crisp contrast in low-light scenes. Dolby Vision IQ is basically the Dolby Vision we know and love, but adjusts the brightness and dynamic range with respect to ambient light in the room.įor anecdotal testing, I watched Greyhound on Apple TV Plus in standard Dolby Vision. Filmmaker Mode is a growing picture preset that delivers the picture as the movie maker intended. The LG GX also supports two newer picture modes: Filmmaker Mode and Dolby Vision IQ. We had to request a pair of the L-shaped feet for testing, but they’re rather wide set and not as sturdy as I’d like, so I’d definitely wall mount the GX in more permanent scenarios. Unlike sets that are designed to either rest on a stand or be hung on the wall with a generic VESA mounting bracket, the LG GX OLED TV is made specifically for hanging with the company’s included, proprietary bracket - it doesn’t even come with a stand in the box. All three sizes offer the same collection of features, from an impressive port array to LG’s α9 Gen 3 AI Processor 4K.
