The Best OLED TV Ever? - 77" LG G3

I want to thank LG for sponsoring this video what's up everyone be the installer here at a house in San Diego we're going to be putting up an LG OLED Evo G3 a 77 inch on this wall replacing a 65 inch gonna be super awesome got Jen here as usual of course partner in crime and we're here at the client Daniel what's up man how you doing uh so you want to tell me a little bit about what we're doing here yeah just recently painted uh kind of trying to do some updating we just recently got this um so that's awesome really nice stand yeah got some new furniture yep the furniture showed up before the TV all of it has taken longer than what it was expected as Renovations typically do yes so we'll unbox the TV and then we're gonna run some wires through the wall HDMI cords right yes sir all right Jen should we get the TV out here unboxing oh let's build up I want to see the TV let's do it all right cool all right I'm gonna go this way okay you ready to go let's do it come on what you waiting for so this LG G3 is a really exciting TV this is 10 years of LG OLED so that's pretty impressive it's got a lot of cool Tech advances in the last decade of dominance in the OLED field the G3 comes with the alpha 9 AI processor Gen 6 that is exclusively for LG OLED and their pixel level control that automatically sharpens and upscales the picture quality and something that people may not know is that the G3 comes with a five-year warranty so LG is pretty confident with this OLED and you can enjoy that peace of mind when you're watching it year after year we've got the bag of goodies here the remote and everything the cord and then one of the cool things here is this TV comes with the wall mounts bracket and if you want the stands you need to order that separately but um but it's meant to go on the wall so this is all you really need yeah should we pull these that way is that cool okay this one yeah I got shocked already it's shocking shocking you want that one thank you a lot of Styrofoam on this thing good for the protection what's the matter crazy all right Jonas let's slide it over here because it's kind of in the way ready one two three that TV looks huge yeah it's it's gonna look great on the wall it's 12 inches bigger than this TV I think it's gonna look awesome yeah can there be too much TV I don't know when you watch a movie on this you're like oh my God it's gonna be that awesome excited all right so let's open this up we don't want to take it too far out of the box because it needs to sit here while we install everything but we have the hdmis and everything on the side a couple USB ends of course you can plug in some media all four HDMI ports that are 4K at 120. uh two is the ER so we're going to plug that into his Marantz receiver and then we're going to have you know opportunities for other ones if you want but since we have a receiver everything will then go into that and then there's of course the landline there and we have the atsc next-gen tuner the 3.0 and next-gen tuner so you can get 4k channels and then some other you know infrared blasts and all that but it's cool how everything kind of goes down and down the channel here so if you plan right you can get kind of your chords and everything out of the way as this goes really tight to the wall the mount's improved so you don't have to worry about any issues it's a secure amount and we'll show you that in a bit it does have a 300 by 300 millimeter Visa pattern too so if you don't want to use that mount you want to put your own Mount up and have it extend further from the wall or something you can but with the mount LG provides I think this is one of the best TVs I've ever seen on the wall virtually zero Gap and everything hides behind the TV and on top of that the G3 lets you display art while the TV's in standby mode it's pretty awesome the next step now is actually to put the mount up yeah to get the TV up I think you have to take it out of the box though yeah let's get this out put it up on the wall put all that stuff up and then we'll come back to showing how awesome the TV is put it up and show some content so sounds good let's do it let's do it so the LG slim wall mount is pretty basic comes with the template the screws and then you get the bracket itself looks a little bit smaller and not as strong as it is but it's very sturdy I like it it just doesn't extend out a ton but that's okay because this is going to be nice and tight on the wall so should we just send this TV in there yeah that's fine okay John Let's unplug this TV take it in there one two three so the the main thing that we have to determine is the height of the TV so we were talking earlier but do you still think that about six inches or so would be good yeah I trust your recommendation so six inches is fine with me cool I like that idea as well so six inches up centered on this wall good to go so to get the TV app we have to move the TV stand and then start measuring it's always a matter of identifying where the TV mount will sit relative to the TV and the stand so it does take some math skills and most days I have them but measuring twice and cutting once is a very smart tip to foul then you need to make sure that you put that bracket up in the center of the wall so the TV is exactly where the client wants it so before you put the TV mount up it's actually better that you make sure you have the room to get the wires inside the wall so I actually do that before I spend time putting the mount up so you have to measure where the HDMI and powerbox will go in wall based on where the power outlet is below and then where it would fit best behind the TV there is this recessed area on the side of the G3 we chose so cords could create the least amount of bulk behind the TV and now we just have to cut the drywall for those boxes [Music] unfortunately for us there was a fire block this is something we don't love to run into but I had anticipated it might be there when I was running my stud finder up and down the wall so I made our hole above it so that I could just drill down through with ease one hole for the HDMI cord and one hole for the electrical wires then we just need to feed the Romex HDMI cord and some speaker wire through those holes once you have your cords through then you're going to put that combo box back in with the HDMI on one side and your Romex or power on the other the cool thing about these combo boxes is they come with the gang box to put your electrical outlet in comes with the electrical outlet itself and then it has some nice little cover pieces to make it look nice and professional and then you just have to wire up your power and again make sure you have the power off [Music] and then use all the included pieces so it looks nice and professional on the wall and then I tag it back into the existing electrical with these nice and easy little snaps foreign good to go with the power [Music] then of course you have all these nice vanity cover plates which can be a little cumbersome to installers but you know in the end we want it to look really nice and then one of the cool things for installation is getting one of these like little brushed cover plates it just makes it look more professional and now that we know everything fits inside the wall we can put up that LG slim wall mount so we do have a template I believe it's half of a TV just the upper half and you can use it to show where the mount goes which is great and I think people should use it but I've already measured it and I'm going to measure it again and measure it again just to make sure that the TV lines up in the right spot and maybe we'll check it at the end with this just to double check where it is we did have holes up there from the previous installation but I still wanted to check with my own stud finder and make sure that the studs are in the right place and all we have left to do is drill some holes and then hang the bracket so you got to mark all four holes for where the mount is going to go but here's a little Pro tip just drill the top two holes first and then get your bracket situated and the reasoning behind this is if you do all four and then you try to put all four bolts in typically the mount will be kind of cockeyed this way you can check it make sure that it's level and then once you know that the top two holes are level then you can drill the bottom two holes and add the bottom two bolts and now you're set that's good though it's strong sturdy I like it now we're going to hang the TV we have this nice box where it should be right behind the recessed area in the G3 then we have the wires down here good to go and we're just waiting on Jen now if you guys don't know Jen does all kinds of things she has her own job then she helps me with these videos and in between this she just drove two hours to go get the kids from school drive one of them to football practice and then bring the other one back so now we're just waiting on her to hang the TV foreign you ready to lift this thing yes let's do it let's get it on the wall oh we got to pull this out Eric made a good point we don't want to pick it up and then realize we haven't pulled the mount out it does not come super far off the wall but enough that you can get behind it access the cords and all that so that's fine but it does take a couple people to get this up here so you ready as ready as we're gonna be let's do it ready one two three there we go got it yep all right okay come on in more my way okay up oh wow this is yeah it's as tight as I thought there we go there we go okay let me just wiggle it in hold on all right we're on cool thank you for helping yeah for sure as you can see it took three of us to get that up there not super easy it would be nice to have a little more extension from the wall but this Mount fits inside of itself it's all good so happy we got it up there and now we just have to tighten it up and show you guys some cool content foreign we're like the side pieces to this install there you go yeah you're the side piece this is the main event me peeling and doing the thumbnail that's let's do it [Applause] nice that's very well done very cheers from the peanut gallery over here all right it knocks down the reflections so much yeah isn't that insane that is insane like your other TV it was almost like you could see the reflection it's straight it's weird because OLED TVs have really anti-reflective properties but the thing is is that um normally they're not as bright as LED TVs typically but this being that it can get like 1600 nits in you know smaller areas and it can ref you know knock down the reflection that good is fantastic such a good TV it looks really good now we gotta turn it on man let's turn it up let's fire it up and see what it looks like all right we're about to turn it on finally but first we have to show you the Magic Remote this is like the 10th Generation of this awesome remote has all the number buttons on the top which are good because it actually can be programmed to different HDMI inputs or different apps it's pretty awesome then you have your volume and channel buttons and of course the directional pad with the rollable center button it's very easy for navigation and then of course it has all the different apps at the bottom that you love to use why don't you fire that thing up Jen thank you okay and as we set the TV up there's not a whole lot going on but one cool feature is LG's AI picture Pro and Sound Pro where they use AI to increase the detail and make the sound and picture quality that much better as you can see the web OS 23 has a redesigned home area with new quick cards in the middle that can be assigned to different apps or sources it also comes with the AI concierge and this is all on top of what has already been a very robust operating system for years now when you turn the G3 on it already looks fantastic but when you go through the settings you realize it has so much more room to grow first it was an energy saving mode so we had to turn those energy saving features off to show what this G3 can really do so definitely an improvement there but then we saw that Peak brightness was still up so after changing that to high and then warming up the color a bit we're absolutely Blown Away with the picture quality this G3 has the brightness booster Max which LG says makes it 70 percent brighter than non-oled Evo models which offers even better contrast with amazing highlights and a brighter overall picture allowing for versatile placement like Dan has in this well-lit room so regular cable that normally doesn't look amazing on TVs looks crisp and detailed due to the great upscaling while the motion the brightness the colors are all fantastic for live sports and if you don't already know LG oleds are really the best for blazing fast gaming a 0.1 millisecond response rate along with 4K at 120 frames per second on all four HDMI ports the G3 has vrr Nvidia g-sync compatibility AMD freesync premium as well as that cool gaming bar to check the frame rate and many other settings and when you get into HDR and Dolby Vision it's even better the picture is absolutely stunning and combining the amazing picture quality with how the TV looks clean mounted tight on the wall the LG OLED Evo G3 is one of the best TVs I've ever seen all right we're at the point where I officially hand over the remote it's your TV now are you excited I'm super pretty cool man thank you thanks for having us I appreciate it and this is really cool it's a good looking TV you think it'll be slightly better than your old ones slightly yeah I want to report after like a month to like see
