LG G4 Series OLED83G4WUA 83"
78 out of 100 high confidence 191 reviews
The LG 83" G4 OLED TV delivers stunning picture quality with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and impressive brightness, especially in the 83-inch model with MLA technology. However, many buyers report significant issues with Best Buy's delivery, installation, and customer service, including damaged open-box units, missing accessories, and poor installation experiences. Some users also note motion blur with 24fps content, Wi-Fi connectivity problems, and occasional panel defects like burn-in or banding. Overall, the TV itself is highly praised, but the purchasing and service experience can be frustrating.
