Expert Reviews


What experts liked

From 4K HDR YouTube videos, to reference-quality Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, to some of our streaming favorites from Netflix and Amazon, the LG E8’s picture quality remained magnificently impressive and perfectly comfortable to watch.
The LG OLEDE8P series of OLED TVs offer some of the best picture quality money can buy.
HD picture quality was excellent. It did an excellent job displaying the finest detail of HD content. Color accuracy was excellent, so colors, especially flesh tones, looked very natural and lifelike.
Picture quality is, hands down, the reason to buy an OLED. LG might be singing the praises of the E8's "Glass" design (which is pretty cool, I guess) or its new A9 processor and Alexa integration, but there's one reason and one reason only to spend a few thousand dollars on the new 55- or 65-inch E8 OLED TVs: picture quality.
It also supports a variety of HDR formats: the common HDR10 and Dolby Vision, as well as Technicolor’s Advanced HDR and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), an HDR standard in play in other parts of the world (and in some Sony camcorders).

What experts didn't like

Those who buy a TV with its sound as a qualifier are few and far between these days, but since the E8 OLED carries a premium for its sound quality, I figured it was worth digging into.
No Google Cast support.
Assembly of the E8 is a little odd, as the stand simply screws "onto" the lower portion of the glass extension, rather than screwing into actual screw holes. It feels plenty sturdy, but it's a little eccentric.
The one issue with OLED TVs, beyond the price tag, is that they have a rather limited lifespan and are subject to burn-in if you leave a static image in place for too long. For mild use, say two hours a day watching TV or movies, you won’t have any issue. But you definitely don’t want to use one as a display sign.
