Picture Quality
Now, the next important spec of a display that will impact your viewing experience is Color Gamut.
This TV doesn't come with a color gamut specification, but don't worry, we have other means to guess that.
Now, since the 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. The color accuracy on this TV should be Lifelike! Meaning it will produce accurate colors by default.
What is Color gamut ?
Color gamut specification of a display indicates the range of colors that the display can produce.
A display with poor color accuracy will produce undersaturated colors that will spoil your immersive experience.
It is specified in different units - sRGB,sRGB (standard RGB), NTSC 1953, DCI P3 to name a few. It is upto the manufacturer which one they choose.
But don't worry, here is a chart that you can use to choose a TV with good color accuracy.
After color gamut, next in the list is Static Contrast.
What is Static Contrast ratio ?
There are two types of contrast specifications for a TV. Static and Dynamic. We are interested in static contrast ratio as dynamic doesn't matter much.
This specification defines the intensity of black levels. That is, a TV with static contrast ratio < 1000:1 will produce black images something like this:
Note that, such TVs may suffer from backlight bleeds that will impact your experience — as shown below.
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneAlso, a TV with high constrast ratio lets you to see more details. So, resolution and static contrast ratio go hand in hand in a sense.
If given a choice, always prefer a FHD TV with high contrast ratio over a 4K TV with low contrast ratio.
LG did not specify static contrast specification for this TV. Once again we have to make an assumption. In general, IPS panels come with a static contrast ratio between 700:1 - 1500:1. For a 4K TV, we can imagine the ratio to be no less than 1200:1.
HDR is also supported on this TV in form of HDR10 Pro and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma).
As for brightness, it can go as bright as 250 nits. The backlight of this TV is powered by Direct LED technology.
Gaming Performance
If you aren't interested in gaming, 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, you would want to get a TV that features the lowest input lag and response time.
Unfortunately, LG did not specify the input lag on this unit. Now, as this is not a cheap TV from LG, input lag on this TV could be 20ms or below.
What is Input lag ?
This lag is the latency at which your inputs changes the content of the screen. Though, this won't matter much if you aren't into competitive/FPS games like call of duty.
For best of both worlds, look for a TV that features an input lag and response time of less than 20ms.
Dimensions and Ergonomics
The TV measures 65 inches vertically and 57.48 inches horizontally. Coming to thickness, it is 3.46 inches thick.
