LG-Electronics-65EC9700-65-inch-4K-Ultra-HD-3D-Curved-Smart-OLED-TV


This LG Electronics 65EC9700 65-inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Curved Smart OLED TV has the best blacks I have ever seen and the web OS is not only entertaining but very functional, if I had any complaints it would be that the mounting bracket is not VESA compatible. There is only one mount available and nobody seems to stock it.

All in all I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. If you can afford this baby then look no further. As of right now it is the best TV in the world. This LG Electronics 65EC9700 65-inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Curved Smart OLED TV delivers an absolutely superb picture. In fact, it's one of the best televisions I've ever tested. But be prepared to pay for being on the cutting edge of HDTV tech.

Pros:
+ Perfect black levels.
+ Loads of features.
+ Attractive design
+ Excellent picture.

Cons:
- Curved screen doesn't add much to the overall viewing experience.

12k hours means if you watch it daily for 4 hours it will last you 8 years. Lg has done a great job I love this LG Electronics 65EC9700 65-inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Curved Smart OLED TV are few years behind in this technology and I think they will not be able catchup with lg's lead.

LG Electronics 65EC9700 65-inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Curved Smart OLED TV Description

The LG Electronics 65EC9700 65-inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Curved Smart OLED TV puts our two best technologies into one very special television. OLED's incredible contrast ratio gives you the deepest black levels for a greater sense of realism. Our exclusive OLED technology also brings two million more sub-pixels than conventional HDTVs, now with 4K resolution that is four times clearer than Full HD.
