According to our television expert
The LG OLED55G1RLA is a stylish TV to enjoy clear images with deep black levels and a powerful contrast with. The TV includes a wall mount. So you can hang your TV very close to the wall, much like a painting. The mount fits into a niche at the back of the TV, so the TV hangs flat against the wall. The pixels of the OLED screen illuminate and dim individually, so black parts of the image are truly black. Thanks to LG's new environmentally-friendly OLED EVO screen that's easy on the eyes, images are much clearer than with a normal OLED screen. As a result, there's a very big difference between dark and light parts of the image. You can watch HDR images with a true-to-life color representation and a lifelike contrast. In addition, the Filmmaker Mode allows you to see the images the way the maker intended. The smart a9 Gen4 processor is the brain of the television. This processor improves the color gamut, the motion blur, and the level of detail of what you're watching.
The low input lag, powerful processor, and HDMI 2.1 connectors make this OLED TV very suitable for gamers as well. You're ensured of not being bothered by input lag between the buttons you push on your controller and the action on the screen. The HDMI 2.1 inputs support 4K images with 100Hz and various useful technologies for gamers. The Variable Refresh Rate support ensures that games are extra smooth and less susceptible to image errors.
Note: this TV doesn't include leg stands. You can only hang it on the wall with the included wall mount.

The Picture of this TV is really perfect. Colors are very beautiful and can be set in many ways, such as color depth / hue etc. Personally, I think that the Eco mode displays the most beautiful colors, but everyone has their own preference. Enough choice; ... lively / standard / cinema etc etc. It is also possible to set the purity. What is also striking, black is really black. The very narrow (truly black) border around the TV is no longer visible during a broadcast that contains a lot of black. Really great! The image is also clearly visible when you stand or sit diagonally next to the TV. And also very clean, even when you're standing right on top of it! Nice! I haven't been able to try game performance. But when choosing to select this, the colors changed (Set by Color Mode). As for the sound. That's fine. Was used to a soundbar for this, but that is certainly not necessary with this TV. Very pleased with it. Would you prefer an external sound source, no problem. TV can be connected via wired speakers (eg soundbar) but also wirelessly. In any case, there is plenty of choice for setting your sound preference: ... All sound Pro / standard / cinema / etc etc. It is a pity that after a choice in the sound mode, the system switches back to the previous menu every time. Then a bit about ease of use. That's a bit of a search. Of course, the standard buttons on the remote control (AB) are self-explanatory. Is also very extensive and equipped as standard for various buttons for: Netflix / Prime video / Disney + / Rakuten TV. There is also the possibility to call up the items determined by your voice. Unfortunately, this does not always work, but it will probably depend on a setting. My voice is not always recognized. One more point that I am very satisfied with. The TV comes with a standard bracket. This is very compact, so that the TV can be placed very tightly against the wall. And then I come to my last point. That is also the reason why this TV has my preference. You can play an art gallery. Your TV then becomes a beautiful painting. There are choices from; Meditation breaks / rainy day (with the possibility to switch on the sound theme, by the way, this is for all themes) / wonder of nature / and art such as paintings by Monet / van Gogh / Renoir / Pissarro / etc. BEAUTIFUL! It is a pity that the image of a painting cannot be fixed. It keeps rotating. That is not the case with any other brand of TV. Unfortunate. Have searched the Internet for this and also dared an email to the importer. Sorry, no response.
All in all. A beautiful TV with a truly beautiful picture and sound. A nice asset. Slightly lower rating because I think it's a shame that the art gallery keeps rotating/jumping images.

After 1.5 weeks of testing the TV, we find the following: We like the product because it has a nice sharp image. We have a spacious living room, so the size was also fine. I'm going to test the game mode this week, I can't say anything about that yet. The TV responds quickly to commands and has a wide choice of options. Such as the choice of cinema mode, game mode, movie maker mode, etc. All settings for brightness, color and sharpness have their own submenu. It is also nice that there are all kinds of pre-programmed apps on the TV. This makes it easy to link your account to it. The sound could have been better in our opinion. We listened to this through our Bose box and through the TV. We noticed that there was more depth via the Bose box. This is a minus. There are multiple shortcuts on the remote, such as Netflix, Prime Video, Rakuten, Disney+. If you don't have a subscription to this, it's best to "pollute" your remote. You also do not remove these quick selection buttons.

My first smart TV. I was very shocked by the reflection the first day. The image is very shiny. The dark scenes on a rainy day were not visible. With some rotation of the image, we have found an angle where the reflection is less disturbing. Your own position in relation to the screen also matters. The image quality is beautiful, but I did not expect so much reflection. There is no built-in chromecast, so we had to connect our old one. Appletv is nice, so I can show my iPhone on the screen. Also linked to the NAS. Unfortunately, the main menu is very cluttered with advertising. Nice thin screen, looks great. The paintings are beautiful, but there is little choice.
