EXCELLENT TV used it 9+ years, still going STRONG

Have used this TV for 9+ years. What a wonderful TV. Absolutely NO problem at all. What a workhorse. A beast of a TV. Crystal clear pic quality. Nice audio without using external soundbar/surround sound devices. Has blown my mind away, the way this TV has withstood 9 years of heavy use. To this day people are amazed by the clarity of its images. People have gone on to buy LG OLED after seeing this TV's performance. I am not changing or discarding this TV until the day it stops functioning. But I will pick up an LG G3 [or G4 model of 2024] 83" for my upstairs main bedroom. LG can truly be proud of the OLED TVs they produce. No wonder that even Sony purchases the OLED screens/panels from LG. Many companies including SONY tried perfecting the OLED panel tech, but they all threw their hands up and decided to buy the panels/screens from LG. So proud being an LG OLED owner, especially as a 9+ year owner of the now outdated 'curved screen' OLED TV.

Keeps turning off

Guys I just bought one and it keeps turning off every hour or so. It's not the settings, timers are off, eco mode is off, still it turns off! What a waste of money!!!

The Best, hands down.

I first saw this TV in a Best Buy. It wasn't turned on at the time, so all I could think about it at first was how strange it looked. I could not (and still don't understand why it was/is curved. I suppose it has something to do with a more natural feel to the picture and how our eyes work, but I've yet to really read anything that tells me, specifically, why it's curved. They generally say it has to do with creating a unique design that makes it "bring you into the experience" or that it's a design that "makes your TV an art piece" as well. Either way, it's a neat idea. Once i actually got to see the TV in operation, I was blown away by the picture quality. Amazing! The images were so crisp and clear! You know that annoying thing that HDTV's have done where everything looks like it was filmed with a home video camera? OLED doesn't. You know that annoying pixelation that occurs from shoddy, Plasma or LCD displays? OLED doesn't. They even reduced side glare by making it curved! Although, I don't think that was on their minds. The OLED is a beautifully designed, magnificent piece of hardware that offers a visual feast for your enjoyment. I WISH I could afford one. I wouldn't want anything smaller than a 55", because I'd definitely want to make it a part of my home theater system, as opposed to setting it up as a counter-top TV in the kitchen or what-have-you. It simply wouldn't receive the laud or praise it deserves anywhere other than where it is a central and integral piece of the experience. I will say that there are two major drawbacks for the OLD: 1.) Price...dear Lord is it expensive! 2.) Shininess...If you like to have lights on around your TVs, you've probably always hated Plasma TVs simply because they give off glare from every angle and they reflect YOU and other objects in the shiny screen if you're anywhere near them...and OLED TVs can be known to do that too- albeit, at a much reduced level of occurrence. Either way, this is a fabulous Television- and boy is it ever a vision!

Fantastic TV

This TV has surpassed all of my expectations. The blacks and contrast are the best I have seen. And I had a Kuro. The passive 3D is great.

MAGNIFICENT TV

Watching television on this TV is like being on the set location of whatever show you are viewing! The OLED screen resolution is simply amazing and the up converting to 4K/UHD software is without equal in the current market place. This is the best TV you can buy right now!

Extra Revolutionary!

LG has stepped their game up with a totally wise way of technology. Adding the actual color of BLACK to the pixels enhances the images far more clear than any leading competition. The fact LG included this feature allows a seemingly infinite refresh rate, not needing a special HDMI cord to play games or watch colorful, action-packed films! The 3D option on this television is also an excellent luxury!

Watching television on this TV is like being on the set location of whatever show you are viewing! The OLED screen resolution is simply amazing and the up converting to 4K/UHD software is without equal in the current market place. This is the best TV you can buy right now!

The LG Electronics 65EC9700 65" Ultra HD 3D Smart Curved OLED TV is a more sensible version of the 77-inch EC9800 model and the larger of the two 9700 models. This one keeps all the features of the 9800 series, but shrinks the screen by 12 inches with the aim of offering a better value. It is an expensive TV in reality, but prices are moving in the right direction for this technology. Since it is a UHD display, bigger is going to be better. This actually give more of a chance to see the difference between 1080p and 4K content. It also features the curved display that have been seeing so much of lately. aren't so sure that an OLED screen is really going to benefit from the curve. Manufacturers cite more immersive viewing and wider viewing angles as the reasons, but an OLED screen brings that to the table by itself. Those who aren't interested in a curved screen should take a look at LG's flat gallery OLED.

Picture Quality
OLEDs produce their own light. That means black levels are top notch in this TV. The EC9700's picture is not affected by viewing angle or ambient brightness either. Contrast and color deterioration are basically non-existent due to the RGBW display LG uses in this set. The problem of motion judder is addressed in this OLED TV as well. The EC9700 has a 120Hz refresh rate that does a great job of smoothing out any fast motion. A huge plus for live sports programming and scenes with fast action or panning camera movement.

Smart TV Features - Powered by WebOS
LG has really switched things up this year when it comes to their Smart TV platform. Needed improvement in Smart TV functionality has arrived with the new 2014 LG TVs. The new WebOS operating system for Smart TV function is very fast in load time and selection. The design and layout is simple and much more straight forward than in the past.

Finger Gesture
It is a new feature using the built-in TV camera. It is limited in use and operation to just a few functions. A small arched menu appears on the screen when you access it with your finger. You can control volume, On/Off function or input selection but that's it. It just really allows volume adjustment without the remote for all practical purposes. LG hopes to add more functionality to it later. It works reasonably well, but again, you probably wont use it much.

Magic Remote
Magic Remote Control Initial Set up very easy. Shake the remote to get the cursor working, the arrow pops up immediately if you have a hot signal going into the TV. have always liked the point and click operation of the Magic remote and still do. It speeds section and browsing. This year the new magic remote control has even better voice recognition technology. It works very well to find the programming you are looking for by speaking into the mic on the remote control. A list of potential fits and the various channels appear down the right hand side on-screen. And it finally has an input selection button. This has been a fault that have noted for the past few years.

Design and Appearance
The design of this curved OLED is very minimal compared to some of the other top tier designs have seen in the past and even some of LG's other OLED designs. This one is all about giving the attention to the beauty of the display. The sloping stand is smaller than most LG stands of the same design. It also has a shiny chrome finish, but it is not overdone. The bezels and profile are astoundingly thin to wrap up this gorgeous TV.
