LGOLED TVs have always had a good reputation in the TV market. Compared with LGC9, which was very popular last year, LG CXOLED TVs have not changed much.
Although LGOLED65CX has been surpassed by the newer model LGC1OLED, CX is still a very worthwhile TV. It is still a good choice for gamers who own PS5 or Xbox Series X and want one of the best gaming TVs. .

The appearance of LGOLED65CX is very eye-catching, and the ultra-thin body looks more technological. 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. 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 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 the new webOS feature 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 color of the TV screen is rich and vibrant, the contrast is good, and the details are perfect. When displaying dark parts, it performs well because it can control the light locally.
LG 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 OLED65CX has high-definition SDR images, it upgrades 4K and HDR images. This change is more important.
First of all, the black level becomes deeper. Compared with last year's B9, CX combines improved black level and shadow detail.
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 LG’s early attempts to repair the shadow details caused by this well-known occlusion phenomenon.

OLED65CX also improves LG's color performance. For example, enhanced brightness management helps the brightest colors in HDR images maintain a more natural appearance, making the colors of the entire screen look more consistent.
4K pictures also look very clear and detailed. As long as the presets of bright scenes are not set, 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 the 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.
