LG OLED TV Becomes An Official TV Partner Of The Xbox Series X

First Samsung then LG.

Both TVS have slight nagging issue with the series x. But LG CX OLED gets the win for me.

I keep reading a lot of LG love from game sites, but TV review specialists seemed to show important things like responce time and burn in made the Q80T a more appealing choice, to me anyways (and only models above 40" since 40" and smaller units don't have VRR.)

Still, the hype on gaming sites make this deal likely a natural choice.

Wonder if a native XCloud client built into LG will follow shortly.

I have the CX and have had zero issues. But I have a probably irrational fear of burn in. I have a three hour timers set so I watch a video to hopefully avoid my UI's burning in.

I can't understand why people go for LG (Lackluster Gadgets). The reliability is awful, some of their models don't even pass EMC testing, the UI is so convulted, laggy & abysmal & they underperform compared to competitiors like Samsung. A lot of people swear by them and then end up having to replace with a new model a few years later due to one or more components failing with the ethernet port failing being a favourite. All of my Samsung panels have lasted 10+ years.

@sikthvash I have had much better reliability with LG than Samsung. I will never buy another Samsung TV.

@RustyBullet sorry to hear you've had problems bud. Obviously, not everyone's experience has been the same as mine, so you got to go with what works for you ^_^

@graysoncharles cheapest isn't usually synonymous with the best. Personally, if you're bothered about refresh rates, there's not much point in investing in one for the handful of games that currently support it on console. Absolutely fine if you want that option on PC though.

@graysoncharles I understand that; I can't afford to buy another TV as I only upgraded a few years ago to a 4K 60hz Samsung. Nothing wrong with budgeting, it's just I don't think it's worth it when it comes to LG.
Indeed! It will be nice when they have a bigger roster of supported games, although I honestly don't think it's worth upgrading just for those handful of games right now.

Well just to anyone know who's looking at the BX as the entry model this only has 2 Hdmi 2.1 ports, the CX and above has 4.

Glad to hear about this, hopefully this means that LG will support all their OLEDs well going forward, not just the CX.
Saying this as a C9 owner here.

I will never buy an OLED because of the potential of burn in.
Samsung QLEDs might not have better black levels but they go brighter and no risk of burn in. You pay your money you take your chance.

@AJDarkstar
I'm looking forward to these. The qualities of both OLED and QLED without any disadvantages. The future looks bright indeed.

@species8472 @AJDarkstar I’m the same as you both, not wanting an OLED with the risk that comes with it, be it burn-in or faded/dead pixels. It’s just not worth the worry and having to baby it by not spending too much time on a game that has static HUDs.

You’ll get some OLED owners here telling you they’ve not had any problems and that burn-in is over exaggerated but they won’t of had the TVs long enough to have any problems yet.

I’m going to wait and see what Samsung’s 2021 QLED range is like next year and if it’s not much of an improvement on the current Q95T then I’ll be getting that in either 65” or 75”. It won’t have as good deep blacks as an OLED but it’s still really great with Direct Full Array. I just hope the 2021 range will have a fully supported HDMI 2.1 port like the LG OLEDs have right now.

I’ve got the 55” cx oled and the new Xbox is utterly stunning on it. The Dolby vision and sound as well as the other extra visual boosts this tv adds to the console had me just staring at the scenery at times while playing Valhalla

@sikthvash my grandads had his LG oled for 5/6yrs and watches it all day every day mostly for the golf and it’s never had an issue. I’ve bought the CX and it’s stunning with the new Xbox. I’ve got a high end gaming pc and a very expensive monitor but it can’t touch the picture that the CX produces. When I play Assassins Creed Valhalla on the Oled then have to switch over and go play it on the monitor you can clearly see the drop in visual polish on things like the snow which has a crystalline sparkle across it on the oled but loses some of it on the normal high end monitor.
I’ve had the tv for 3 months now and it’s gorgeous and I’m well happy it to this point 🤷‍♂️

@Toxical maybe they've improved in their new range; obviously can't comment myself as I've not used one, but let's hope it continues to impress & provide the reliability for you and the many others.
