LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV is for those of you who want to cut right to the chase, this LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV is the best television I have seen, owned and used. It blows away any and ALL LCD based televisions and easily compares with the best of plasma's and beyond that.
LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV build quality is excellent. The stand is metal, not plastic and is heavy enough to steady the TV. The screen of LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV is glossy and therefore reflective. Don't place bright lights anywhere near it or you will see them. The curve is not that much really, and after viewing for a few hours it DOES seem to suck you into the action more, especially if you are sitting dead center. I did notice some reflections from the center hitting the sides when viewing 4:3 content. It is minor and nothing to worry about.
The LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV takes a bit of time to boot the first time as it is busy loading the OS. Also, it is advisable to immediate do a firmware update via Ethernet cable. Restart the TV and proceed. If you don't know LG TV's there is an on board users guide that can take you thru each function and also balloon help is available for each function. (you can disable that when you have seen enough)
You get their newest 'Magic Remote" but I use my Harmony One and only use their remote for cursor functions.
Ok, let's get to the "good stuff" LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV:
No Flashlighting
No Halos
No Clouding
No Banding
No Dirty Screen Effect, And for plasma owners:
Low power consumption
No buzzing
Runs very cool
Very Lightweight and easy to lift
The Bad Albeit the most-affordable OLED TV yet, the LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV is still very expensive for a 55-inch TV. Its video processing and color accuracy don't measure up to that of the best TVs, and the curved screen introduces some artifacts.
The Bottom Line The LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV lives up to the promise of OLED with the best picture quality of any TV we've ever reviewed.
LG Electronics 55EC9300 55-Inch 1080p 3D Curved OLED TV has a possible 100 to 200 break-in period where you have to be just a bit careful with your television. Once the time passes, you can start to use it like any other HDTV, with a few minor changes to your usage habits, just to keep the thing working perfectly over the years.
Many users have reported using the 9300 with any and all content immediately and with no regard for burn-in from letterbox or 4:3 aspect ratios. These same users have reported no discernible damage to the panel after such use. I am the nervous type and will continue to baby the panel for a few more weeks before watching 2 or 3 letterbox films back to back. However, many HAVE done so and report that there appears to be no discernible damage to the screen. This is good news. Very good.
GOOD NEWS for gamers! I had previously stated my opinion that game play may possibly be harmful to this panel, but the newest user reports seem to suggest that may not be the case and almost all gamers that have purchased the 9300 are absolutely loving it and have no reports to date of burn-in as a result.
