Picture Quality
After screen size and resolution, the next most important feature of a display is its Color Reproduction, which is defined by its color gamut specification.
This TV doesn't provide a color gamut specification, but don't worry, we have other means to guess that.
As this TV features a big 65 inch screen, it won't come with a cheap panel, so here we can assume its equivalent sRGB coverage to be 90-100% or above. Undoubtedly The color accuracy on this TV will be Lifelike! It is capable of producing accurate colors by default.
Understanding the Color Gamut Specification
Color gamut spec of a TV indicates the range of colors that it can display.
A display with poor color reproduction will produce undersaturated/washed out colors that will not be pretty to look at.
Different manufacturers use different units to specify color gamut. Viz — sRGB (most popular), NTSC, DCI P3 Adobe RGB and rec.2020.
But don't worry, below is a chart that you can use to choose a TV with good color accuracy.
After color gamut, next in the list of important specifications that will impact your experience is Static Contrast.
Understanding the static contrast ratio
A TV with high enough static contrast ratio will produce deep blacks while a TV with low contrast ratio (<1000:1) will produce images that may look muddy as shown in below image.
As you imagine, this will rob your experience considerably.
Other than black levels, a TV with high constrast ratio allows you to see more details. So, resolution and static contrast ratio go hand in hand in a sense.
This TV features a static contrast ratio of 10000:1., enough to display deep blacks. For the record, it also comes with local dimming feature which is a plus.
HDR is also supported on this TV in form of Dolby Vision, HDR10 Pro, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and Dolby Vision IQ.
Coming to brightness, it can go as bright as 250 nits, powered by Mini LED backlight.
Gaming Performance
If you are not planning to game on this TV, you can safely ignore these specs. But if you are also planning to use the TV for gaming or use it as a PC monitor, make sure to take a TV that features the lowest input lag and response time.
Unfortunately, LG did not specify the input lag on this unit. But since this is not a cheap TV, we can expect an input lag of less than 20ms.
Understanding Input lag and response time
This lag is the latency at which inputs changes the content of your TV. Though, this won't matter much if you aren't into competitive/FPS games like call of duty.
Although for better experience, look for a TV that comes with an input lag and response time of < 20ms.
