Once in a very long time, a Television set comes along with such a sharp, lustrous picture that it hypnotizes nearly anybody who sees it. The LG 65EF9500 is that Boob tube. Its moving-picture show is and so vivid and sharp you'll feel similar you lot take to article of clothing shades.

The 65-inch set is based on OLED (organic lite-emitting diode) brandish technology, versus LCD sets with LED backlights that currently dominate the TV market. OLEDs have the virtue of creating pixels that can be lit individually without requiring a split backlight. Information technology results in truly deep blacks and degrees of contrast not possible using competing technology. LG uses the OLED design to great reward in the LG 65EF9500, with its ultra-HD 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels). This set produces a visual crispness that's about palpable, simply that comes at price: roughly $five,000, or more than than double what some similarly sized (but junior) 4K LCD sets cost today.

Blueprint: Elegant and poised

In spite of its 65-inch screen size, the LG 65EF9500 has a lightness of being. Its pencil-thin bezel ways the image tends to levitate without a heavy black frame, and the set's white chassis blends in with near living rooms, rather than sitting at that place like a large black obelisk (on the other hand, some may think it has a '60s, Austin Powers season).

Contributing to its ethereal effect, the set up sits on a single, wide pedestal stand that keeps the device on solid footing, thanks to a single clear piece of supporting plexiglass. Its transparency means that the set appears to float above a tabletop. Best of all, this is non one of those contemporary, curved 4K sets; it's apartment and perfectly poised for flick viewing.

To connect to video and entertainment sources, the LG 65EF9500 has simply three HDMI ports (many sets have five), but they are all fully 4K-uniform. There are also three USB ports (one three.0-uniform), Ethernet, RF, digital audio, component and composite video connections, likewise every bit congenital-in Wi-Fi. For those who still enjoy the result, the LG 65EF9500 also supports 3D programming with its passive design and includes two pairs of glasses.

Performance: Simply stunning

With stunning contrast skills, the LG 65EF9500 tin can reveal details in shadows that other sets simply melody out. And the OLED's ability to pinpoint colors and effulgence means that everything from violent explosions to serene star fields is rendered perfectly. I tested most cloth in Cinema way (video and audio), which I plant delivered the best picture; switching to other preset modes, such as Sports fashion, delivers a retina-called-for brightness that'southward almost painful to watch.

Thankfully, the LG 65EF9500 does an excellent job up-scaling standard Blu-ray and HD fare (which is the vast bulk of cloth currently available) to ultra-HD levels. Yous'll come across all the disgusting details in Dad's costume in Mad Max: Fury Route, every beautiful pore on Charlize Theron'southward face, and details in the backgrounds that will thrill (or frighten) a set designer. Every bit a demonstration of what the LG 65EF9500 is capable of, the fire shooting out of the flame-throwing guitar looks realistic on Fury Route; other sets are unable to handle the sudden effulgence of the flare without making information technology wait cartoonish.

In infinite footage, the LG 65EF9500 does only as well. In the Blu-ray of Gravity, in that location's so much particular that you tin can count the scores of tiny shrapnel pieces every bit they speed toward the space shuttle. Other sets reveal only a few of the larger chunks of detritus earlier the cascading collisions begin. Infinite is accordingly black without making any compromises by dimming the stars. As Sandra Bullock spins out into space, the lamps on her spacesuit flash without flaring and affecting the balance of the moving picture; every other set I've tested created some kind of light flare or leakage in this scene.

Some other disquisitional attribute of up-scaling is being able to handle rapid transitions and activeness sequences without generating blurry artifacts. The LG 65EF9500 excelled in this, equally well. There were no streaking stars in Gravity'south motion scenes, and no missing or flashing imperfections in Skyfall's hunt scenes. Colors from yellow to red looked solid and saturated; greens were naturalistic and skin tones neither likewise pink nor too chalky. Capping it all off, there's no bad seat in the business firm, thanks to the prepare'south excellent viewing angles. Even if yous're sitting on the edge of the burrow, colors and brightness won't suffer.

Bumping upwardly the picture with 4K programming was equally pleasing. And the LG 65EF9500 can support the expanded color gamut of HDR (high dynamic range) content. I used a music video with expanded color information to test the set's "Ultra-HD Deep Color" setting. For the showtime time, I could come across the faces and skin tones of audition members sitting in the shadows of the stage, as well equally colors like the iridescence of the mother-of-pearl saxophone keys.

The only area in which the LG 65EF9500 was less than stellar was in the audio department. The fix has several presets for isolating dialogue, boosting musical soundtracks or enhancing sporting events. I cull Movie theatre fashion as the most well-rounded setting, only while the TV's 20-watts of total power fabricated information technology loud enough to fill a living room, its audio lacked the overall dynamic range a skillful sound bar would deliver.

Interface: Snappy webOS

LG uses its own software to dorsum up its connected, smart-TV features.

I nevertheless similar the pattern, graphics and organization of LG's webOS 2.0 software. The remote's settings button invokes a quickly understandable row of icons down the correct hand side of the screen, with adjustments for picture and audio, a sleep timer, a parental lock, and more-advanced settings.

Tap the remote'due south Home push, and along the lesser of the screen are big, angled tabs for popular and oftentimes used services such as Netflix and Amazon. There are dozens of additional apps available from LG, including Crackle and Pandora and a couple of coincidental games. Nonetheless, LG offers a relative paucity of choices compared to Sony'southward Android TV-based sets, Roku TVs or models from Samsung.

One tin can skip around the LG interface easily thanks to the inclusion of LG's "Magic Remote," which behaves like a wireless mouse directing an on-screen cursor. It makes brusk work of finding your favorite Spoon videos on YouTube, and information technology has everything to brand almost owners comfortable, including a 4-way directional pad with a clickable thumb cycle in the center. In that location's also a numeric keypad in instance that works better for you lot.

Bottom Line

With an arresting picture that cannot be crush, the LG 65EF9500's only real contest at the moment is Sony's Bravia X930C set, which costs $2,000 less than the LG. The ii TVs offer very different pictures, but both are very impressive. However, for an image that's a real showstopper, the LG 65EF9500 is unparalleled.
