hi everybody this is the LG 65 EF 9500 it's the best TV I've tested so far of course it's also one of the most expensive it's an OLED TV and oullette is a fundamentally different display technology than the LED LCD tech used in the vast majority of TVs sold today the most obvious external difference is that OLED is exceedingly thin this TV measures just a quarter inch deep and its thinnest part although it bulges wider here to accommodate stuff like inputs and the power supply it's styling in other areas is pretty sleek too with a very thin frame around the picture and a cool semi-transparent stand unlike most other OLED TVs which have curved screens the EF 9500 is flat I actually prefer a flat screen because the curve seems a bit distorted but the picture quality differences are negligible in the end the choice comes down to aesthetics and LG's curved and flat o LEDs cost the same LG packed all of its best features into this TV it's smart TV system uses webOS which I like for its simple layout and speedier reaction times compared to the old version everything is controlled with this slick motion remote complete with the nifty scroll wheel onboard apps include most of the heavy hitters including 4k compatible versions of Netflix Amazon Instant Video and YouTube the TV can also play back next generation HDR video from Amazon and in the future other providers HDR promises even better image quality than 4k and unlike previous LG OLED TVs the EF 9500 also worked with external HDR sources like 4k blu-ray players due out next year the main reason I like OLED so much however has to do with its picture quality it can deliver a perfect black for incredible contrast and pop without the bloomin artifacts of competing LED LCDs it also looks equally good from the sweet spot in front of the screen and the far end of the couch and as expected at this price color accuracy bright room performance and video processing are all top-notch all of that makes LG's EF 9500 OLED the best television you can buy today if you could spare the cash I'm David Katz my frisina
