hi everybody this is the LG 65 eg 9600 it's one of a pair of new 2015 OLED TVs on sale so far this year from LG and it's my new favorite television at least till the flat one comes out not that i can afford one anytime soon that's because right now the 65-inch 4k oled costs about nine thousand dollars in the u.s. while its 55-inch counterpart costs about half that that's the bad news the good news is that it produces an absolutely phenomenal picture one that looks better than any LCD or plasma TV I've ever tested the secret is that unlike those TV technologies OLED can produce a perfectly dark shade of black it can also get really bright and that combination produces eye-popping contrast the most important ingredient in picture quality it also helps the colors which are very accurate anyway look even richer and more saturated another advantage of OLED is that unlike LCD it maintains excellent fidelity from any angle I did notice some minor uniformity and video processing issues and the purist in me wishes that the screen was flat is that a curved but none of that spoils the amazing picture by now you probably notice this TV is curved a design choice i consider largely a gimmick the curve does look impressive in person and oled is also really thin the top part of this TV measures just a quarter-inch thick the bottom is thicker to house the inputs and electronics but it's still really stylish new for this year the back side is white for some reason plenty of features are on board including a motion remote that works a lot like Nintendo's Wii mote controller it also has the latest version of LG's webOS smart TV system which is much faster than last year and relatively easy to use it allows you to stream netflix amazon and youtube videos in 4k and of course what you're really paying for here is the oled picture quality which is once again the best we've ever tested for this price it better be this has been a quick look at the LG EG 9600 series i'm david katz mayra cnet you
