Image Quality
The LG OLED65GXPVA is GX series that comes equipped with a thoroughbred 4K OLED panel, while LG’s most powerful video processor, the α9 gen 3, handles the image processing. It uses advanced machine learning to continuously improve image quality, which you can switch on or off with the so-called “AI Picture”.
The TV comes with Cinema HDR, HDR 10Pro, AI upscaling, AI Picture Pro, AI Picture Pro – Face Enhancing, Image Enhancing on SQM, Dolby Vision IQ (2K/4k), NVIDIA G-sync, Dynamic Tone Mapping, and a lot more.
Earlier, LG has focused broadly on supporting various video formats and standards. GX supports the vast majority of HDR formats including Dolby Vision (now also in an “IQ” version that adapts to the light in the room). You can choose from a variety of viewing modes, from the adaptive Genre Selection, where the TV automatically recognizes the video material and optimizes accordingly, to the hyper-neutral Filmmaker Mode. The latter filters out all the redundant image settings and ensures accurate film presentation, similar to directors’ vision.
LG’s 4K OLED display, each pixel is also its own color and light source, rendering a very densely packed and seamless image. Even with 65 inches at close range, I didn’t observe any issues with visible pixel patterns. The image quality was awesome.
Another thing that got to my attention was good light uniformity. The LG screen has completely even light distribution across the entire panel, with no hint of shadow effects or specks. The greyscale is very even without visible shades. The same can be said of the color reproduction, which is extremely smooth. Bright scenes in the movie or watching National Geographic it was a pleasing experience.
Even when it came to high-speed chase or fight action scenes, the LG screen has no apparent trouble keeping up with the lightning-fast car chase or even with fast camera action movement. The motion equalization is very effective, without becoming artificially smooth. The OLED display also has excellent noise reduction, where it removes hints of compression noise without muddying the small details.
There are so many options to view picture modes, I preferred the cinema home. Here, I get even and neutral colors, but parts of LG’s TruMotion motion interpolation (motion smoothing) remains active. This gave a great combination of natural colors and smooth movements.
Under TV’s Filmmaker mode. It gives you very neutral color settings, with all artificial sharpness, noise reduction and motion smoothing turned to zero. This is a welcome touch on classic movies and when you want an image that is “unsullied” by unnecessary image manipulation.
