　　LGOLED TVs have always had a good reputation in the TV market. Compared with the popular LGC9 last year, LG CXOLED TVs have not changed much.

　　Although LGOLED65CX has been surpassed by the newer model LGC1OLED, CX is still a very worth buying TV. It is still a good choice for gamers who own PS5 or Xbox Series X and want one of the best gaming TVs. .

　　LGOLED65CX has a very eye-catching appearance, with an ultra-thin body and a more technological sense. Although the latter part is prominent, but the design feels good, and the speakers and processor are placed here.

　　The screen is connected to a centrally installed metal plate bracket, the workmanship is very delicate, but a bit heavy.

　　OLED65CX has four HDMI ports, all of which can handle 4K 120Hz audio and video. This port is especially important for gamers. One of the HDMI ports also supports ARC/eARC (Audio Return Channel) so that the TV can output Dolby Atmos from a streaming service or 4K Blu-ray to a compatible soundbar or AV receiver.

　　The last design point worth mentioning is the OLED65CX remote control. The ergonomically designed back has an index finger groove, so it feels comfortable in the hand. You can quickly browse the menu list through the central scroll wheel of the remote control.

　　Like LG's other OLED TV product lines, LGOLED65CX is equipped with LG's WebOS interface.

　　LG is also a leader in speech recognition. OLED65CX supports LG's own ThinQ AI platform, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Support for all of these is also built-in, which means no external listening equipment is required.

　　In terms of supported applications, you will find that new features in the streaming media field are relatively new, such as Disney+ and Apple TV+, as well as all common applications such as Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime in the United States. However, for British buyers, there is an unexpected obstacle: LG and Freeview Play did not complete their usual deals for Korean brand TVs in 2020, which means that there are currently no signs that the UK’s major terrestrial broadcasting applications are catching up, such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, all 4 and My5.

　　The biggest gimmick of webOS's new features is the integration of sports categories. As long as you select your favorite team in the list, the TV will provide score updates and broadcast reminders when the team is playing.

　　HD/SDR performance

　　OLED TVs have always been particularly suitable for standard dynamic range (SDR) technology.

　　The TV picture is colorful and vibrant, with good contrast and perfect details. When displaying dark parts, it performs well because it can control the light locally.

　　LG has also improved the 2020 upgrade. Probably due to the introduction of LG's new third-generation Alpha 9 chipset. After the improvement, the details of the high-definition picture will be clearer after zooming in.

　　4K/HDR performance

　　Although the OLED65CX has high-definition SDR images, it upgrades 4K and HDR images. This change is even more important.

　　First, the black level becomes deeper. Compared with last year's B9, CX combines improved black levels with shadow details.

　　Compared with the previous LGOLED, the OLED65CX has less noise in the dark area when watching dark scenes in certain streaming media programs, and will not lose the shadow details caused by LG's early attempts to repair this well-known occlusion phenomenon.

　　OLED65CX also improves LG's color performance. For example, enhanced brightness management helps the brightest colors in an HDR image maintain a more natural appearance, making the colors of the entire screen look more consistent.

　　The 4K picture also looks very clear and detailed. As long as you don’t set the presets for bright scenes, the sharpness looks very comfortable and natural.

　　Picture mode

　　OLED65CX has two new picture modes: Movie mode is launched through the cooperation between UHD Alliance and film creators, and aims to reproduce the kind of settings that creators use when mastering content on TV. This means turning off some image processing tools of the TV, causing some people to feel that the picture is a bit jittery, and viewing in a bright room is too dull. But in fact, there is not much difference.

　　Another image mode is Dolby Vision IQ. This is essentially a Dolby Vision mode, which combines the additional HDR image information and screen optimization elements of Dolby Vision HDR with the room condition evaluation felt by the built-in light sensor. To ensure that no matter how the viewing conditions change, you can see a more consistent picture.

　　For gamers, playing games with LGOLED65CX will be smoother. In game mode, it has only 13 milliseconds of input delay. Support automatic low-latency mode switching and variable refresh rate.

　　Of course, like other OLED TVs, users need to pay attention to the content they watch to reduce the possibility of image retention. Try to avoid spending too long watching content with bright logos or static bright image elements.

　　sound

　　LGOLED65CX supports Dolby Atmos, and the sound quality is really good. It is worth mentioning that LGOLED65CX has an AI Sound Pro option. This mode can optimize the sound according to the function of the TV speakers to obtain a more dynamic and louder sound.

　　It somehow manages to radiate from its incredibly thin body: the sound produced by the set has real width and even some verticality, especially if you abandon the default Dolby Atmos sound settings and change Use LG's excellent AI Sound Pro option. This mode optimizes the sound according to the function of the TV speakers, resulting in a more dynamic, loud and impactful sound.

　　Summarize

　　LGOLED65CX is an excellent TV, for movie lovers and game fans, the screen display content is exquisite. colorful. In terms of games, the improvement of the screen technology of the game mode is deeply loved by gamers. Therefore, no matter what kind of demand it is based on, LGOLED65CX has a side that is hard to refuse.
