LG 55EA8800
The LG 55EA8800 is an OLED TV, and one that resembles a painting in a picture frame: the screen is the painting while the speakers form the frame around it. This elegant appearance makes this gallery OLED TV stand out with style. We were pleased to see that the price on this model has come down compared to last year’s OLED models. Because OLEDs create their own light, the black levels are excellent on this model, and you don’t have to worry about the viewing angle or ambient brightness either. We didn’t find any faults with the contrast or color deterioration either, thanks to the TV’s RGBW display. And due to the native 120Hz refresh rate, this OLED smooths out fast motions, making your live sports and fast action movies viewing more enjoyable.
