LG OLED65WX 65 " (OLED65WX9LA)

A TV that's thinner than your smartphone

LG's TV division is on a roll these days. They recently presented a super-expensive and advanced flexible TV that can be twisted into a tube and exchanged for an apartment in the centre of the capital. The concept is interesting, but not for the mass consumer. Much more interesting is the super-thin OLED TV LG OLED65WX put into mass sale. According to the logic of the manufacturer, it should be hung on the wall like a giant photo frame. It is an impressive 4mm thick (thinner than your iPhone), weighs just 9kg, and has all the hardware, processor, and switches housed in a separate soundbar that connects to the panel via a separate flex cable. The design turned out to be unusual and interesting, but with questionable practicality. For example, what to do with the already purchased soundbar left over from the old TV? Plus, it needs to be installed on a shelf or cabinet. And this slightly violates the concept of a “photo frame” that can be hung anywhere.

Likes dynamic image

Considering the TV is high-end, it's no surprise that the 65-inch panel delivers an image with infinite contrast and perfect local dimming, which is especially impressive in the dark. High brightness levels and a wide colour gamut will bring out the full potential of HDR content (Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats). Also, by default, the TV offers accurate colour reproduction, and any shades (dark, light, grey) look uniform. The α 9 Gen 3 processor does an excellent job of deinterlacing (note: eliminates the “comb” effect by smoothing the image), deftly recognizes the difference in frame rate and shows real skill when processing moving objects. For the latest feature, LG has come up with the name OLED Motion Pro and promises the perfect balance between motion clarity and blur level. Throw in a 100Hz refresh rate, low input lag, and you've got a great option for sports and video games.

All electronics inside the soundbar

The soundbar is technically unchanged. This is the same class 4.2 system with an output power of 60 watts. The LG OLED65WX supports Dolby Atmos and can create a beautiful 3D experience, but don't expect miracles. The option to improve the positioning of sources in the sound palette of AI Sound Pro has been further developed. In the new version of the webOS 5.0 operating system, the installation process has changed dramatically and has been simplified. In terms of smart functions and connectivity options, there is a complete set here, there is no need to regret the lack of USB ports, video outputs and head assistants. Well, the price of the LG OLED65WX is quite biting, but here you need to take into account that we have not just a TV, but a potentially important part of the interior.
