Question 1

The TV has an Energy Class F rating. Does this mean it will use a lot of power and is bad for the environment?**

Accepted Answer

This is a common point of confusion. The F rating is based on the EU's new, stricter 2025 scale which measures screen brightness per area. OLED TVs like this one are inherently more efficient than bright LED/LCD TVs because they don't need a backlight—each pixel produces its own light and turns off for perfect blacks. In real-world, typical viewing, its power consumption is often comparable to or better than many brighter, larger LED TVs. The rating reflects its capability for extreme HDR brightness, not its everyday efficiency.

Question 2

Is the included stand sturdy enough for a 65-inch screen, especially with pets or kids?**

Accepted Answer

The minimalist stand is designed for aesthetics and saves space, but as some Reddit users have noted, it can allow for a slight wobble if the TV is bumped. For ultimate stability and peace of mind in busy households, we (and many owners) recommend using the standard VESA wall mount points with a quality bracket. This also enhances the sleek, floating look of the OLED panel.

Question 3

I'm buying this mainly for my PS5/Xbox Series X. Is there anything special I need to set up?**

Accepted Answer

You're in for a treat! To fully unlock the 4K/120Hz and VRR (up to 144Hz) features for buttery-smooth gameplay, you will need a certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cable (HDMI 2.1). While one may be included, many gamers on forums recommend getting a dedicated, high-bandwidth cable to guarantee performance. Once connected, simply enable the TV's Game Optimizer mode for the best experience.

Question 4

How intrusive are the ads in the webOS interface, and can I remove them?**

Accepted Answer

The ads, primarily for LG-promoted content or streaming services, appear as a small banner on the home screen. They don't interrupt video playback. While you cannot fully disable them, you can significantly minimize their presence: in Settings, you can turn off "Home Promotion" and "Ads for Personalized Content." Most users, after this quick adjustment, find the interface clean and fast for daily use.

Question 5

Who would you say this TV is NOT the best fit for?**

Accepted Answer

This TV excels in picture quality and gaming. However, if your primary viewing happens in a room with direct, uncontrolled sunlight shining on the screen, you might find a high-brightness QLED TV more suitable. Also, if you prefer a completely ad-free smart TV interface or are on a strict budget where the absolute best picture isn't the top priority, there are excellent alternatives that may better match those specific needs.
