LG - 55" Class BX Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV

Upgraded my Sony 55 X850c finally after 5 years. I was on the edge on getting the TCL 6 series or just coughing up the cash to get the LG OLED. I researched different tvs for atleast a month before I made the decision. I had the fear of permanent burn-in which was one of the reasons I didn't purchase this tv sooner. Rest assured this tv has settings to shift pixels and put up a screensaver. If you want the best picture with g sync and HDMI 2.1 with vrr, don't hesitate on purchasing this set. The picture does not get as bright as QLED tvs but the sharpness and picture quality will speak for itself. HDR with Dolby Vision will blow your socks off. In 2021 if you are on the fence and want a solid tv with HDMI 2.1 with most of the bells and whistles of the CX series than look no further. The CX model is only 50 more dollars now so I would recommend getting that if it's in stock. Otherwise this model will still do the job for the price.

I had spent a few weeks debating between a Samsung QLED or an OLED TV. I eventually decided on the LG BX55 due to the response time and overall better picture quality. I primarily use this TV for gaming and watching movies and after a week of use I can say I’m beyond impressed. The response time is better than my LG gaming monitor and I find myself in awe looking at games like Ghosts of Tsushima and The Last Of Us II. This is my first OLED and it has impressed me, and I am now considering purchasing a second to replace the UHD Samsung in my bedroom. My only complaint with the TV is the complexity of the UI takes some time to get used to. After a week I’ve finally got it all figured out, but out of the box it definitely was much more complex than any TV I have previously owned.

About a day in and I’m absolutely loving the BX. I’ve been drooling playing the 4K demos on YouTube, the picture quality is a religious experience. My Xbox one x is much clearer and richer vs my 2018 4K tv. Watching football as I type and the picture off broadcast looks crisp and motion is flawless. I was worried about brightness as the BX seems to be set up dimmer vs the CX instore, but getting it home there is no issue. In fact I have oled brightness setting halfway and if I turn it up higher it just gets too bright and blown out. Small knock is there is some light banding in some gradients especially if it’s gray and it’s fast moving like an expanding logo, but really 99.9% of images have no issue whatsoever. I almost went with the CX but I’m glad I saved the cash as it turns out the brightness difference is no issue at all. You will love this tv.

Gorgeous TV. I honesltly debated between this and CX but ultimately the price made me go with the BX Series. Picture quality is amazing and best of all it has 4K @ 120hz for gaming with the PS5 or Xbox Series X. Next gen looks amazing on this which is the main reason I went with OLED. The only downside I see if that it only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports which are on the back of the TV instead of the side but I wall mounted my TV and have had no issues so unless you want it to be flush on the wall then this setup will not work and you will have to go with the CX. For the price difference, I took this one and didn't lose noticeable picture quality compared to the CX or even GX. Overall, best TV purchase I have done ever.

Great TV, excellent picture, have not had any burnout. Easy to use. Definitely recommend an LG OLED.

Outstanding picture, I will only buy OLED going forward. I have had several LG TVs in the past, they have all been great, but OLED is the next level. Surprisingly good sound for native speakers.

Love my new OLED 55’ TV. My two favorite Geek Squad Specialists Aaron and Theron assist in getting this TV delivered, installed and mounted. I even have the arm which resided conspicuously behind the Tv and it can extend out and can be moved from left and right. Love the display is night and day the picture quality is in matached.

Using it as I write this. Clear view, no motion blur while watching sports, which is pretty much all we watch. Just need more broadcasts in 4K. True blacks. Bought a slim mount so all disappears. Got a Sonos bar for sound as the internal speakers are good…if you are a dog. The remote is awkwardly shaped and confusing to operate. Amazing these companies can’t figure out how to do these yet. Scope creep central on these things. I think I can launch a Tesla rocket with it, but all I want to do is go to the last channel watched…which I can’t do.
