TV Lg 55eg960v-review
В тестируемом 55EG960V не используется такой же дисплей как в ЖК-телевизорах, therein light create organic light-emitting diodes - OLED hence the name (English. organic light-emitting diode).
Before proceeding to a detailed review, I would like to draw the attention of, that repeatedly test sample is compared with the model 55EG910V, TV OLED Full HD by the same manufacturer. This is a very similar model:
- both have a curved 55-inch screens;
- in the same OLED technology;
- basically have the same functions and webOS operating system.
Mainly differ in the static resolution, applied power processor and appearance. Since many clients may wonder which of these models to choose: cheap Full HD, or more 4K, you can just say that all means are justified.
Television Lg 55eg960v buy They want to first of all supporters raised its modern design. incredibly thin, curved screen is mounted on an elegant base with acrylic leg, which gives the impression, TV hung in the air. Acrylic leg also has a second function: It reflects a sound wave, from the speakers towards the viewer. It completes the picture of a semicircular protrusion backlit logo LG.
As well, as in 55EG910V, the main advantage of LG 55EG960V are real black and white colors and the resulting excellent contrast - in this respect,, the device has no equal. Shortly speaking, черный является абсолютным, and the TV with ease gains in terms of contrast from any Plasma and LCD TVs, fully equipped with multi-zone backlighting blanking.
For those, who have already seen the OLED-s at work in a dark room to describe in principle, do not need anything. By the way, если вы видели в действии oled tv Lg 55eg960v reviews comments welcome. In turn, the, who did not have even a possibility, I can say one thing: There are many TV, and the most expensive and powerful, but in terms of black and contrast OLED is an individual, premier league - simply the best of the best. For 55EG960V test used film Ida on the disc blu-ray.
Although the televisions do not have much that could surprise, but showing this black-and-white film to create an incredible impression with detail and contrast point of view, and this in spite of all the technical limitations, associated with this kind of phenomenon, as a small bandwidth and outdated method of de-interlacing (1080i).
As well, in Full HD model (910V), the brightness of black increases linearly. But the volume of gray scale is the source of two adverse events: loss of detail in very dark gray colors, which are just black and appear thin vertical stripes(like in the following photos).
Problems can be seen not only at the time of viewing an image(as indicated above), but also ordinary films, eg, 40 seconds of the movie "Real Steel" (Blu-ray). Interesting, fine lines appear more frequently in 55EG960V, than Full HD model (55EG910V), This is yet another proof, that the dark scenes OLED-s 55EG960V 55EG910V and behave somewhat differently.
Although the loss of the details in dark gray was clearly visible, 55EG960V faster "out" from black to dark gray side, than its cheaper sibling 55EG910V. The TV was not able to show a good dark detail and still jumping through multiple levels, skip to lighter shades of gray, immediately following a very dark shades.
Interestingly, I also noticed another phenomenon: fluctuation black. This was manifested in the literal sense "to spill" in the black areas of the scene, which had a higher compression ratio. Больше всего это было заметно в темных сценах сильно сжатых материалов, such as DVD, such as 39 minutes of the film "System" with Tom Hardy, the scene, в которой главный герой Лео разговаривает с женой. Это явление лишь отчасти может продемонстрировать следующее GIF изображение.
Why am I writing about this phenomenon? Or it is so very annoying that it's worth writing? Not, that I would not say. The fact, that the OLED-s offer unrivaled black and white palette and superior contrast, но некоторые явления можно сравнить с “childhood disease”. In my opinion, These phenomena in any case does not disqualify OLED screens, but the potential buyer should be aware of them. I personally would be willing to use the OLED, because despite its shortcomings, absolute black and the contrast is not very attractive. It just need to see for yourself, and only then take the decision for themselves.
And one more note in the conclusion of discussions about the black in the OLED-ah. The phenomenon of "expanding" black (or distortion) It was especially evident in the materials of average quality(with high compression). On materials of high quality (Blu-ray, 4K demo files) it was rare, or absent. otherwise talk, I would venture to say, that OLED is like a thoroughbred sports car ? if the fill in has good fuel, you can go to the race track, and receive full driving pleasure.
We now turn to the description of the color. As can be seen from the following diagram …
color error (delta E), to (green) and after (blue) calibration
… color rendering, at least good, and only one color (red) It outputs a conversion error threshold visible(measurement is performed in color, which is displayed in a small window, rather than the entire screen). The problem is that, that displays different colors 55EG960V, when they occupy a small area, and a completely different way, when for example occupy the entire or almost the entire screen.
In the latter case, saturation and brightness of color, Unfortunately, falls. Although if it is not annoying in many films, то в случае программы прогноза погоды в которой присутствовал статический красный фон, This problem was clearly visible.
When the same material, I have included a model 55EG910V (Full HD), I was a little surprised, how bright and vibrant colors in a cheaper OLED. However, it is worth remembering, that a comparison OLED-4K second generation (55EG960V) с OLED Full HD, not all right, ибо последний уже относится к третьему, instead of the second generation.
As well, as well as the cheaper sibling Full HD, Lg 55eg960v 3d ultra hd 4k oled телевизор предлагает более широкую, than standard (sRGB) colors, but it expanded only slightly.
Since it lasts about colors, it should be mentioned about the problems with white display. Although white from a technical point of view, is not a fundamental color, in our sample it was slightly inhomogeneous, но не настолько сильно, in 55EG910V.
When it comes to playing back motion, the TV is equipped with a system to improve the sharpness and smoothness of movement, well known as TruMotion. This system has 3 mode of operation.
Как показало тестирование динамическое разрешение (clarity of moving images) была далека от максимума измерения (1080 lines), which can easily reach the most advanced LCD TVs. Although OLED displays generally have a much shorter reaction time than the LCD panel, but LG engineers have continued to apply the activation panel method, known as the sample-and-hold, которая отличается более низкой резкостью движения.
Despite, OLED that has several drawbacks, in the hole he had a few trump cards. Dynamic images in OLED, They do not have the typical disadvantages of LCD, such as:
- multiplication edges of moving objects;
- decrease in brightness due to the aggressive backlight modulation;
- “echo”;
- or “rastushevka”.
Due to the moving images on the OLED look better.
Unfortunately, изображение не всегда отображалось ровно и иногда теряло эффективность, which manifested hewing (leap), which lasted for a split second. This was evident as the credits, in the news, and during playback YouTube video application. In this regard, 55EG960V clearly inferior 55EG910V.
It is worth noting, the moving image on the TV oled Lg 55eg960v were clean and without distortions, типа эха или умноженных контуров.
Lg 55eg960v – 3d ultra hd 4k oled TV, который создает 3D-изображения с помощью техники пассивной поляризации. Due to the matrix with a resolution of 4K, in the mode of 3D-TV offers a complete Full HD resolution, It is commendable. Unfortunately, 3D-suffers significant image distortion type interference(with mixing information for both channels), что проявляется в виде расплывчатого края (cm. pictured below).
What is the reason? I do not think, Points that were to blame. Although I have not received the test standard points, annexed to this model, I used the other two models of glasses LG, and each time the result was the same. I suspect, что помехи следуют из незначительного смещения поляризатора в отношении дисплея, which was still in the process of production. otherwise talk, I do not think, that we are dealing with the lack of a specific instance, а именно недостатком модели.
As well, как и в 55EG910V качество функции мультимедиа оцениваю как хорошую. System webOS versions 2.0 (firmware 03.20.05) stable and fast - much faster, than the version 1.0 and less expensive 55EG910V (Full HD), which probably is the result of a more powerful processor 55EG960V.
Встроенный медиаплеер без проблем воспроизводит файлы в расширениях avi, flv, mkv, mp4, mov, etc. formats, with which it is not aligned TV wmv ( displays a message: "Unknown format") and with the resolution of the above files, than UHD (eg, 4K). Плеер сортирует файлы вновь добавленные в алфавитном порядке, but without the possibility of changing the direction of sorting.
55EG960V имеет немного более привлекательное звучание, than 55EG910V, it was probably a partial merit acrylic legs, reflecting a sound wave in the direction of the listener. Generally, sound is assessed as good (for TV).

Total
The second generation of OLED-s 4K, несомненно представляет собой большое техническое достижение. 55EG960V model offers a number of surprising and compelling benefits, such as Extremely deep, absolute blackness, excellent contrast and effectiveness of second-generation webOS system (2.0).
This TV has currently no competition, because nobody offers on the Ukrainian market the OLED-s 4K with a diagonal of 55 inches. But despite this, TV Lg 55eg960v buy not everyone wants, because he has a real competitor, LG ? 55EG910V. Last but not running as fast, и имеет в два раза более низкое статическое разрешение(Full HD 4K instead), it surpasses 55EG960V difference colors and smooth movement.
