LG OLED B3 55" 4K Smart TV, 2023 [Energy Class G]

This LG 4K OLED TV was a major upgrade from our 15 year old Panasonic which was still working fine but lacking in smart features. Had the LG mounted on the wall and working in less than an hour. Picture quality is great. Smart apps were easy to download and use giving a huge range of viewing options. Even the standard Freeview picture quality is fine: UHD streamed services look incredible. An unexpected surprise was that my music streaming service (Tidal) is also supported giving access to a huge library of videos in addition to the sound.TV sound seems OK but I have a cinema sound system which works seemlessly with the TV and is obviously better.This TV seems to be competitively priced and was even better value during Amazon's Spring Sale week.

I spent hour agonising over which TV to buy, and promised I would come back and write a review after I had owned it for a few months. Short answer: extremely pleased with this TV, and pretty confident I made the right choice. The picture quality is superb. A lot of reviews complained that the sound quality was a bit so-so, but I have certainly not found that (I was all prepared to buy a sound bar if the sound quality was poor, but that hasn't been necessary). Aesthetically it is very pleasing - super slim, and looks good even when turned off. I don't use it for gaming - just watching regular TV - but it has been really great.If there is one niggle I would flag up it would be the software/operating system. It's a bit clunky and annoying. It regularly stops you and asks to update an app or such like, and you need to create an LG account. If you use a cable box (like I do), it sometimes "loses" that option from the list of sources, and you have to claw around it to find it and restore it to the menu. None of it is hugely burdensome, but it feels like a slightly sub-optimal user experience. If someone from LG was to ask me what I'd improve, it would be that.

This is the best TV I have ever had. It is like a computer and I found it astonishing that I could move the remote control to send a cursor to anything I wanted to select. It will take me a long time to learn all that it can do but I am very pleased to be able to learn these things slowly.

Easy to use,brightness good,picture excellent, remote is excellent (can use it as a pointer which makes it easy to use) gaming looks great,sound is fairly good probably won't need a sound bar but with all the good there is one bad thing there is a slight bend in the top half of the TV which is pretty frustrating actually

Brilliant TV. Picture excellent. Menu is slow to load and navigate though.

Best picture quality we've seen. It's just like really being there - only better! Excellent sound too. Speech is much easier to hear than previous tvs we've owned. Glad we chose this one!

Can't believe the upgrade in picture quality from my old 4k Samsung. Really impressed.

Do not like the remote control. Despite setting the picture controls several times the picture never looks right. Prefer to use PVR to access programmes as it eliminates the signing in process.
