Hey friends - Andrew here, hope you're well!
This is LG 77 Inch G4 TV: A flagship OLED TV, and on first impression this is the most dynamic
and brightest TV I've ever seen and used! Today I'll be unboxing it wall mounting this TV going
over all its incredible new features and sharing my very first impression after using it during
the daytime and at night for a week since its launch this is the TV I've been most excited
to own and test because the previous LG G3 was widely regarded as the be
st TV of 2023 and let's
see if this LG G4 TV lives up to its name this is the big box that arrived in and this is not a
review unit from LG it's a TV I bought myself so this is the actual retail box on launch day and
this year we get a separate box included for the TV stand so we now have the option to both wall
mount or use a solid TV stand because the previous G3 didn't come with an included stand being the
77 in size this thing is pretty big and heavy so you'll definitely want someone he
lping you get
this precious TV out of the box and installed we found it easiest to lay it down on the rug on the
protective film and unbox it that way what I'll do is attach this TV on the stand first just to
show you the design and ports if you're planning to use the TV stand but I'll personally be War
mounting this TV which I'll show you later in this video the TV stand is solid and attaching
it on was easy enough with the provided screws the stand is sturdy and it angles the TV slightly
backwards sitting the TV on the Shelf here you can just see how big it is and it covers the entire
length of the shelf so let's take a look at the rear and see if anything's different with the
G4 we get three HDMI 2.1 ports one E port for your Soundbar three USB ports one land port cable
and satellite ports and an optical audio out so turning this on for a quick test now and wow this
screen is absolutely gorgeous my first thought is just how crispy the picture is and also just how
bright i
t gets right out of this box this TV is looking absolutely incredible Inside the Box we
get the remote the ablea batteries included for the remote an IR blaster a bunch of manuals the
back covers and of course the slim wall mount here so I won't actually be using the included slim
War Mount I've opted to use a universal TV mount so I can switch out the TV at any time since I'll
probably be reviewing other TVs in the future the installation was pretty straightforward once the
TV mount was in
stalled and we added a cable Runway to hide the cables so with this Mount here there's
a slight Gap behind the TV so I can reach behind and change around the cables but if you choose to
use the slim wall mount it will sit pretty flush to the wall now it's time for one of my favorite
parts of this entire process it's time to take off the protective film and immediately you can
see how much less reflective it is in this this really bright Lounge room and wow it's looking
so great mounted on t
he wall now before I turn it on and set it up I spent some time setting
up a soundbar this one is the Sonos Arc and I added two rear era 300 speakers as great as the
inbuilt speakers are on the LG G4 it won't beat a dedicated surround sound setup I've also added
a cable box underneath the TV console to hide any additional cables tidied up the place and
altogether I think this setup is is ultra clean once it's wall mounted what do you guys think
I can't wait to show you the final setup in a
few weeks time in the full review video this LG
GeForce design is incredible the seamless bezels are at Beauty and looks like a borderless window
into a different world the TV has a thickness of just 1 in and combined with its flat back and
brushed Metal finish this TV has a very premium design and feel if you've seen the previous LG3
in person you'll know how good this looks because it's basically still identical to this G4 and to
help you out if you're planning on war mounting this TV it
is 67.5 in wide and 38 in tall and
about 82.5 lb without the TV stand the remote feels a bit underwhelming in build quality though
considering how great the TV looks and feels but I'll be setting up the Apple TV anyway so I'll
be using the Apple TV remote more often now that everything is finally setup this OLED display is
truly incredible right out of the box I was blown away by just how good this looks in person the
first time using it it looks a ton better than my Samsung frame TV my pre
vious B3 OLED and even
the previous LG G3 TV I was shocked at how bright this TV gets which is perfect for this Lounge
room where it gets a lot of direct sunlight every hour of the day and that's without tweaking any TV
settings actually I had to turn turn down the OLED pixel brightness to record this video for you guys
to avoid overblowing the highlights this panel is incredibly bright the 4K HDR content looks
stunning on this TV too and I can see why the LG G4 is LG's Flagship TV to be so
far I've watched
a few movies f1's drive to survive TV series and played a few PS5 games and the tones the colors
and the sharpness is unparalleled and looks so lifelike in any lighting situation and time of day
in this room and black levels are incredibly deep since this is an OLED display and that's because
the pixels are individually controlled they can completely turn off when they need to reproduce
areas of true black rather than what you often see which is washed out blacks seen in n
on-oled
screens and paired with the brighter display you can see here it's perfectly viewable during the
day and I cannot wait to tweak the settings and get the most out of this TV which I'll share in my
full review in a few weeks so on first impression the new Alpha 11 processor combined with the micr
lens array technology and onboard AI makes a big difference and the leap in brightness and picture
quality from the G3 is noticeable I was pretty skeptical before turning it on thinking surel
y AI
won't make that much of a difference or might even interfere with picture quality but I was wrong the
new AI processor does make a noticeable difference and the picture quality is truly impressive
so the alpha 11 processor helps solve some LG G3 issues like the lack of HDR 10 plus and it's
weird HDR colors plus the new AI director feature is actually a decent mode to help adjust colors
for the content you're watching to look more like the director's intent basically in this mode the
p
rocessor analyzes pixels to sharpen the picture and refine colors and there are even AI features
to help boost audio I'll dive deeper into the AI features and picture quality after I spent few
weeks with this TV I'll share my honest opinion in that full review video now when it comes to gaming
the G4 could still well be the best TV for gaming this year it has the full kitchen sink to throw
at gaming including a new 144hz refresh rate super fast 1 millisecond response time Nvidia g-sync
AMD
free sync premium vrr support and LG's game Optimizer UI so the HDMI 2.1 ports unlock the TV's
full game gaming potential and gaming looks Simply Stunning on the LG G4 TV so far I've been playing
a few PS5 games and based on that experience the image quality is mind-blowing motion is ultra
smooth and the Deep blacks are incredible and Atmospheric especially in a game like Resident
Evil 2 you absolutely want to tweak the inbuilt LG game Optimizer settings and this is also a place
where you c
an check your refresh rate vrr options at a glance and tweak picture settings the faster
refresh rate of 1 millisecond on the LG G4 is blazing fast it's perfectly suited for fast-paced
Shooters and makes gaming that much more immersive okay so my first impression of this 77 in G4
is that it's a downright incredible TV and is a strong Contender for best TV of the Year this TV
ticks every single box when it comes to a high-end TV and that new AI processor is set to take this
Flagship TV to ne
w heights the MLA and OLED Tech with the boosted brightness faster response time
and insane color reproduction is just such a joy to use I really don't think I've seen a better TV
in person so up front it's hard to find a negative right now maybe not everyone will want or bother
with the AI features and it is a really expensive TV but we get so many improvements and even
an included stand along with the slim mounting bracket this year I am really excited to keep
testing this TV over the com
ing few weeks hook it up to a full home theater setup with my new
sonus surround sound system and tweak that picture quality settings so be sure to subscribe to be
the first to see that full review if you made it to the very end of this video be sure to drop
the code word comment Alf for 11 and I'll give it a like for making it to the very end of this
video I'll also share my review of the Samsung frame TV that I loves right here and as always
thanks for watching and I'll see you in the nex
