LG OLED GX 4K TV review: The wall-mounted master
I'm assuming that is a 77" from the first photo. It looks bigger than I would have envisaged. I can't wait to own one!
LG OLED GX 4K TV review: The wall-mounted master
Hi!!Alright then, now we obviously HAVE to see the TV on the wall from all angles with some pictures! Congrats on the purchase, sounds great. I am still a bit on the fence comparing the CX to the GX (currently owning a C8): I wonder how much better the GX really looks on the wall compared to the CX as I tend to be surprised from Youtube and marketing videos that the GX really isn't a W8 / W9 / WX wallpaper thin - type of TV.
Hi!!
In terms of fit against the wall yes. The issue is I have a recessed box already and if I mount the TV with the overlap, as LG suggest, it will be fairly high up the wall.Hi!! Look up at my post of pictures its physically right against the wall. Is that what you want?
Cheers!!!
Hi!!
So I am pretty disabled and not a good picture taker. I dont have pictures from when the cx and gx were side by side but here are some from my phone. Please note. these pictures and videos do not do it justice. My phone is darkening them lol and completely ignoring my booming AVR / Speakers being driven by the Dolby Atmos coming from the TV.
I took side on side off images so you could see how thin and close to the wall it is and the picture is super super clear from the sides. Again my picture skills are horrible.
I tried to upload a video of Avengers Endgame buy it wont let me. Ill put it on one drive and share but again IT sucks compared to what I see and hear in my phone. Not even close.
The bug is back where my Sonos Beam stops working. Turn everything off, back on, no good. Press volume on remote and it shows the circle with the line through.
Raised this with LG as well and they blame......Sonos...obviously!
hi MEGFL/safcsat, are you guys using the original GX wallmounting bracket? Is there any screen reflection warping when the TV is off or in dark scenes? Today, I saw a GX in the store that used the original wallmount and the reflection in the screen from the front was slightly disturbingly warped around the area where the bracket behind it is attached (e.g when you have a horizontal bar of light reflected in the TV, that bar is not straight when you look at it head on in the mirror finish of the OLED, but instead is warped around the area where the bracket is attached to the GX. When there's colors on the TV it's not visible, but its clear there's some stress on the front of the panel due to how thin the panel is + the fact that all the weight is resting on a small bracket relative to the TV size.
thanks budI will check and come back. Never noticed it, but not to say it isn’t there. Just watching something currently, so give me some time.
thanks bud
You are 100% right! It is absolutely warped in the area where the bracket is!
If I stand in front of the set when it is off and even just move along slowly my reflection changes (increases in size as its “pushed out” ) when I move past the area of the bracket.
Hmm! Now I haven’t noticed any issues with the image (yet) But I am assuming if the screen is not completely flat then there will be issues?

Not what I wanted to read when an hour ago my 65GX was delivered by JL.
I doubt very much it will cause any issues to the screen, after all oled can be rolled and bent.
To me it would entirely be about the aesthetics.
Is it that obvious ?

i was hoping it was just that one set problem. i went to another store to see another GX again and this time the warping was a little off to the left side of the bracket for some reason. I do not know if this warping is enough to affect imagine quality when viewing content, unless we're using rulers.... but it makes me uncomfortable and is pushing me back toward a CX.
