It's worth noting this is an A2, not A3.

As others have noted brightness and refresh rate of 60hz vs 120hz. For the average tv viewer, probably not noticable however depending on your sensitivity you may notice a judder effect on 24fps sources. This article explains it best but here is the base explanation:

"A 60Hz TV has trouble removing 24 fps judder because 60 isn't a multiple of 24. To display this type of content, a technique known as a "3:2 pulldown" is used. Basically, 12 of the 24 frames repeat three times, while the other 12 repeat twice, totaling 60 frames. Not everybody notices this, but it causes some scenes, notably panning shots, to appear juddery. However, 120Hz TVs have an advantage here because they can simply display each frame five times since 120 is a multiple of 24."

It also notes that some sources, such as Chromecast, will only output 60fps, so something else to keep in mind if you want to take full advantage of 120hz.

https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/w...z-vs-120hz

*Edit* thanks dealbabydeal for pointing this out:
From RTINGS: "The LG A2 can remove judder from 24p sources, and you just need to enable Real Cinema."

Edit2 - even more useful info here. If I'm understanding correctly a 24fps source played through a device that supports frame rate matching at 24fps will eliminate judder. If it forces output at 60 you will still get judder https://slickdeals.net/f/16863020-lg-77-class-oled-a2-series-4k-uhd-oled-tv-1499?p=165323000#post165323000

I've been an OLED denier for years. Thought they were ridiculously over priced for what they are.

Then I bought a 42" C2 for my computer and oh. My. God.

So pretty.

The only only thing keeping me hesitant is the 60hz vs 120hz. This would be an amazing upgrade for the bedroom… only watching tv and movies so gaming wouldn't matter. Is dealing with judder worth the savings???

60hz - 15 year old refresh rate. Annoying to view - neighbor has it - hard pass. Run away.

It's been a looooonnngggg time since I've bought a new TV. All I (think) I want is a TV with a beautiful display. All I do is stream what I want to watch. No gaming. Not using as a monitor. Will this be a good TV for me? The entire wall opposite of where the TV will hang is windows from floor to ceiling. I've read all the comments and rtings but am not sure if this will work for me. Thoughts?

Edit: rtings actually says it's not a great choice opposite a night window. 😕

Once you go OLED, you don't go back.

As another user points out, it's not just gaming... judder from 24p video coming via 60p sources is another issue... (it can be worked around using internal streaming apps if they work for your situation... but 120Hz "solves" this by being evenly divisible by 24)

As to gaming- depends on your source again... Older, or even many current, console games you're not likely to have an issue... but higher end PCs you'll notice a massive difference uncapping framerate- and that will only get moreso in the future with stronger consoles and GPUs, so if it's a TV you expect to keep many years it's worth considering.


That said, the price bump from 60Hz to 120Hz is pretty big here, I don't recall the B2/C2 getting down much past the 1900-2100 range before they began going out of stock in 77"
Again, in my opinion you're talking fringe cases. If you have a high end gaming PC you must have spent thousand(s) on that and gaming is likely some massive part of your life.
I don't believe that if you put rock solid 60fps gaming up against higher frame rates, I doubt 95% of the population would give a damn , if they could see the difference at all.

And movie judder? Good points, but again, Not an issue for 95% of the population, in my opinion. Speaking of the future. I'd rather save the money now and get all that stuff included for the this price in a few years and then I'll have two TVs for what a C3 costs now.

Just wait for the burn-in.
LG TVs have many features to mitigate burn in. I have a 77 inch B2 OLED that I use for gaming, and have left it unattended for many hours. It has many automatic safety features to prevent burn in.

Samsung and Sony TVs on the other hand are more prone to burn in, per RTINGS OLED burn in tests.

Not worth it at all IMO. Even a 120hz OLED panel produces a noticeable stutter in movies due to the quick pixel response time. I can't imagine how terrible that would look when combined with the awful telecine judder you'll see on a 60hz panel due to the 3:2 pull down when watching 23.976p/24p content (nearly all movies and lots of newer shows).

Actually, I got my 77" B2 for $1699 last year shortly after Black Friday. Worth it. B2 is the value sweet spot - C2 is only marginally brighter, and has a marginally faster processor. Otherwise B2 is identical to C2 and is a dream for gaming.

Hard disagree.

For something interactive like a video game it's not just how smooth the playback is, it's how responsive the actual game is... there's an upper limit to how much a difference it makes- but 60->120 is quite measurable and real in actual difference for even the average player... (120 to 240 is much smaller and THAT is in the "probably irrelevant if you're not a pro gamer range though)


Further, it's not just the very top end GPUs that can exceed 60fps at 4k now--- so even relatively mid-range gaming systems would be wasting their $ putting out FPS the display can't handle nowadays.

Again, this is source dependent in many cases- there's LOTS of people using streaming or cable/sat box sources that only output a hard 60p so it'll impact all of those.

I guess the question is how often do you plan to upgrade a 77 TV?

Are you saying that true blacks, one of OLED's greatest strengths, are a negative? Pretty remarkable stuff.
If you are looking at flagship TVs the samsung mini led also hit true blacks through the dimming algorithm. In any real world viewing scenario you wouldn't notice. But you will notice 800 nits vs 1500 nits of peak luninance.

I'm not going to get into a debate because their are gretmat options in oleds and mini led. But to act like mini led algothims aren't perfect blacks is silly. Here is my 3 year old qn90a. I replace 4 oleds with mini led and for my use cases wouldn't go back.

This particular model of oled would be bad any anything but a dim room.

This issue isn't unique to OLED, it's any 60hz panel vs 120hz. If your current panel is 60 and you haven't noticed, you probably won't notice here, even with the faster response time. That said, if your like me, once you know, it will bother you whether you notice it or not lol
