have your screen professionally calibrated because out of the box even with the technicolor expert mode turned on our particular panel didn't have great color accuracy particularly with the primary pigment cyan magenta and yellow it's actually quite a bit worse than what we measured on lg's own 2400 lcd tv just a couple of weeks ago we're not saying it's terrible i mean the average best buy shopper wouldn't notice but it's pretty bothersome to me that at this price you still need to toss an extra 250 bucks to geek squad to get it calibrated now the good news is that we measured almost 94 coverage of the dci p3 color space so exceptional color reproduction is achievable on these tvs now comparing the w8 to samsung's q9f the nicest tv that they make you can see that they're both amazing displays but even with full array local dimming the quantum dot lcd display just cannot achieve the sharp contrast of an OLED check out the halo around the white letters but when you make a super high-end product you inevitably open yourself up to some scrutiny and there are still some gripes some of which were present in the w7 and still persist with this year's model mostly having to do with the tv's mandatory sound bar the reason this tv is so thin other than the fact that it's OLED and therefore doesn't have a fat backlight shining through the pixels is because the tv's drive circuitry power supply and io are not housed in the main chassis but are instead contained in this 28 pound dolby atmos sound bar now to be clear it's a pretty awesome sound bar it's 4.2 channel and 60 watts so it goes pretty loud and usually manages to sound clear at high volumes unless you're listening to metal or something and the way the speakers emerge and then hide when you turn the tv off is really slick but if you're the type of person who spends fifteen thousand dollars on a tv we don't think it's that much of a stretch to say that you probably have a better audio solution than what they're including here a fact that is demonstrated by the number of wallpaper tv owners who have opted to hide their sound bars under a table or in a wall behind the screen wouldn't it be easier more aesthetic and even cheaper for everyone involved if lg simply offered a more compact variant that didn't include any speakers at all i mean it's the kind of thing that's so obvious that it makes you kind of mad because it's like it feels like they're saying hey i mean these high-end clients are already paying so much what's an extra few hundred bucks to cover the cost of the sound bar not to mention the shipping but even if they do make the sound bar easier to hide the umbilical cord is still kind of a drag even though it is relatively discreet and includes an extension it's just not nearly as flexible as samsung's oneconnect solution and it doesn't have the requisite fire rating to be run inside a wall so depending on your local laws you might need one of these sold separately in-wall cable kits and finally what about OLED's arch nemesis not being as bright as quantum dot and burnin well it's still not as bright but i think we're far past the point where we left off with plasma where they were considered only suitable for use in a dimmed room i personally didn't find that it was an issue with the w8 at all as for burn in while mitigation strategies like screenshift which moves the whole picture over a few pixels periodically the automatic screensaver and the pixel refresher routines that run to help prevent image retention exist burn-in continues to be an issue on modern oleds one that will especially affect people like gamers which is kind of why we didn't really mention its awful input leg and my grandma who leaves local news and the weather channel on 24 hours a day i mean i've been using mine for two years and i haven't experienced it yet so there's no doubt in my mind that with proper care which by the way for me includes nagging my wife and kids to make sure that they have youtube and netflix in full screen mode so i don't end up with a stupid Windows start icon in the bottom left lg's 2018 lineup of oleds will drop the jaw of pretty much anyone within ishot for years to come though that doesn't mean that you should necessarily buy this particular one i mean if you got a billion dollars in the bank yeah duh why not buy buy nine you know buy some quadro gpus and run the whole thing as a giant video wall who cares it's one of the coolest tvs on the planet but if i was a more normal person i would first make sure that i have a secondary display for those extra innings ball games then i'd probably look elsewhere in lg's OLED lineup or if virtual assistant integration and fancy processing aren't significant value adds for you then a discounted w7 from last year might also be a good bet since the panel quality will be identical freshbooks is the small business accounting software custom built for how you want to work it's a simple
