Abstract: On the OLED65G1, the Evo panel is housed in a ‘Gallery' design similar to 2020's GX range. This means it has a slim (2cm or so), flat profile specifically designed for wall hanging. There's even a recess in the rear for the supplied super-slender wall mou...
Abstract: With the 65in G1, LG combines its Gallery Series design – which allows this super-thin TV to mount flush-fit to your wall – with a new brighter-than-ever Evo OLED panel. This joins with OLED technology's traditional black level strengths to deliver a 4K H...

Outstanding contrast, Impressively thin design, Excellent inputs and gaming features
Expensive compared to C1, Sound system struggles with bass, No stand included
The way the LG G1 OLED combines a bit more brightness with OLED's renowned black level and local contrast prowess – without, so it's claimed, increasing the chance of OLED screen burn – makes the LG G1 OLED easily the best OLED TV LG has ever made. And gi...
Abstract: Last year, LG's OLED TV range was distinguished by spec and design. Picture performance was the same across the range, with the sole exception of the entry-level BX model. This year, the G1 owns LG's 4K performance high ground, thanks to a new Evo high br...

Outstanding picture quality, especially from 4K HDR sources, Slim and good-looking, Great OS with a stack of apps available
Expensive, and more expensive still if you want feet to stand it on, Sounds underwhelming, Can be picky about motion settings
This is an awful lot of money to pay for a television, even one that's as slim and well-specified as this one - especially when you take its humdrum audio quality into account. But there's no denying LG has made good on its ‘evo' promise by serving up pic...

Sensational picture quality that's rich in contrast and colour,Slinky design is perfect for wall-mounting (indeed no feet/stand is included),All four HDMI ports can handle all of the latest video gaming features (VRR / ALLM / 120Hz)
New panel not as bright as hoped,Not all of the webOS revamp feel fully realised,No stand/feet included,Speakers can really struggle - you'll want a soundbar/surround system
At the time of writing there's a question mark over whether the OLED G1 is sufficiently superior to the upcoming C1 mid-range OLEDs - which don't get the Evo panel - to justify its extra cost. Based on the type of enhancements it brings over last gen's CX...

Abstract: For years, LG's OLED TVs have been some of the the best-looking TVs you can buy, and the 2021 G1 OLED ( available at Best Buy ) continues the tradition of dropping jaws. But while it looks awesome and makes many subtle improvements, it doesn't make an in...
Sensational picture quality, Outstanding gaming performance and features, Elegant, slim design perfected for wall-hanging,
Fairly expensive for an LG OLED, New webOS system feels like a work in progress, No HDR10+ support,
Dolby Atmos soundtracks finds the built-in speakers sounding short of oomph. There's good clarity, detailing and effect steering when things are relatively quiet, but the sound starts to actually diminish significantly during Atmos moments, instead of swe...
Increased brightness, Oustanding contrast, Accurate color, Gamer-friendly, WebOS improvements
Confusing picture settings options
Normally I'd say: Yes, if you've got the cash and you want the slickest OLED one could reasonably afford, the G1 is the TV to get. And that's still true. But this year's added qualifier is the G1's premium picture quality, which is now brighter and more a...
