LG's E-series of OLED TVs just got interesting again

Great picture performance ; Interesting design ; Sonic upgrade over C9

Others offer better motion ; Lacks the last drop of black detail ; Awkward setting menus

A C9 and a soundbar would be our first choice, but for those who want picture and sound combined, the E9 will make a lot of sense

Identical image quality to the C9 model ; Stunning black levels and shadow detail ; Superb accuracy out of the box for SDR ; Excellent HDR10 image quality ; Superb Dolby Vision image quality ; Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro ; Custom tone map setting & CalMAN...

No HDR10+ ; Slight black crush with SDR in some content

Perfect black levels with excellent contrast. Striking glass front makes the screen look like it's floating. Google Assistant included.

Expensive even for an OLED TV. Colors are a bit cool out of the box.

Bottom Line: LG's OLEDE9 series of OLED TVs offers a fantastic picture with an all-glass, floating-screen design you'll pay a hefty premium for.

Near-perfect, uniform blacks. Excellent viewing angles for a wide seating arrangement. Practically instantaneous response time, and remarkably low input lag.

Superb overall image ; Pure blacks ; Upgraded image processing

More expensive than its LED-backlit LCD rivals ; No HDR10+ support

The E9 is a great TV, and truth be known, just about everyone who viewed it here at IDG singled it out as the pick of the litter. Let’s just say, that if you’re looking to buy the best OLED on the market, the E9 is it.

E9 is a very complete TV with stylish design, strong picture quality and crystal clear sound.

Although the picture quality is excellent, it is very similar to the slightly cheaper C9 series. The brightness is slightly lower than what you get LCD TV with QLED technology.

For those of you who are not content with having the best picture quality, but also want a TV with tasteful design and good sound, the E9 series from LG is an excellent choice. While previous generations of the E-series have cost a little more than...

Set makers may argue otherwise, but improvements to the two dominant TV technologies—OLED and LCD—come gradually. Each year, the new sets that get rolled out incorporate wrinkles that will result (it's hoped!) in a better picture and more advanced...
