Pros and cons

According to our television expert
  • Thanks to the OLED screen of this TV, you can watch lifelike images with deep black levels and true-to-life colors.
  • The 10-bit (1 billion colors) color representation, HDR, and Dolby Vision IQ technology of this TV ensure a rich color representation that adjusts to the ambient light.
  • With the webOS 6.0 operating system, live television, apps, and internet are brought together in one clear menu.
  • The a7 processor of this TV is less powerful than the a9 Gen4 processor of the LG C1 TVs from 2021.
  • Due to the 50Hz refresh rate, fast-moving images aren't always displayed smoothly.

Description

The LG OLED55A16LA (2021) is a budget-friendly TV from the OLED TV series from LG. The millions of pixels in the environmentally-friendly OLED screen light up or turn off individually, so this television displays a truly deep black. And it's easy on the eyes. The screen can produce 1 billion colors and supports HDR, so you can enjoy subtle differences in color tones. The Dolby Atmos IQ technology lifts this to an even higher level by adjusting the color representation to the surroundings. The light sensors in the TV provide softer colors in a dark room and more brightness in daylight. In the webOS smart menu, you can quickly switch between live television and your downloaded apps. You can watch movies and series via Netflix, Disney+, or Videoland, watch videos on YouTube, or play music via Spotify. In addition, webOS lets you stream from your iPhone to the TV via AirPlay.

Another great one from LG

Had the pleasure of testing this TV for a few weeks. What immediately struck me after unpacking was the beautiful design.

Image quality:
After adjusting some settings, nice image with smooth lines. White is white and black is black

Sound quality:
Sound is of excellent quality. That is often a point of criticism with most televisions. That is not the case with this one. Good sound with adjustable equalizer.

Smart functions:
You can quickly switch to the streaming services via the remote control. Voice control is also included.

Game performance:
Not a gamer but tried a Facebook game anyway. The game flows smoothly with beautiful colors and clear image.

Final conclusion:
LG has again brought a TV to the market that is for sale for a reasonable amount and yet meets all requirements. Beautiful image, clear colors, beautiful sound and beautiful design.

complete TV with the perfect colors

  • nice sound
  • beautiful colours
  • beautiful design

I got this TV on the day of the Ajax CL match. The installer had the TV out of the box and installed in minutes. It's the thin TV. When turned on, you saw the paintings in standby. The colors were beautiful. It looked just like a real painting. During the game I will show the details that I missed on my old TV. The smart remote control is very useful. The “mouse” function and speech function is almost always used. The pre-installed apps work perfectly. The colors only really came alive during the movie or PS4. Especially in the horror games you saw the black, really black and the scare effect came up. Together the beautiful sound makes the TV complete. Even other family members were so impressed with the TV that they thought about buying the same TV.

  • Screen reflection

The overall impression of this LG OLED55A1 is great!!! After extensive testing of this TV in the past 3 weeks, my impression of LG has improved a lot.

The delivery guys had some trouble fitting the feet under the TV, but once they were in place, the party could begin. This TV is super thin, except for the bottom part, which of course contains the hardware. Overall impression of the glossy screen is great, a nice super narrow border increases the viewing pleasure ;-)

Installation:
After switching on the TV, it immediately starts with the installation, if you go through all the steps you are ready to enjoy this fine TV within 10 minutes.

Image quality:
I think the image quality is fine. The image is crystal clear and very sharp. You can SEE a pin drop. Black is also really black, the disadvantage of this is that you then see the reflection of the space in these black surfaces ... with dark films this can be somewhat disturbing ...

Watching from various angles is no problem, you can follow everything just fine wherever you sit around the TV.

Sound quality:
Great sound. The speakers in the TV are fine for normal use. The basses sound good, but personally I do miss a subwoofer here.

Ease of use
The menu is clear and well-arranged, you are quickly where you need to be with the handy remote control. There is also a mouse pointer function on it, which I do not find very pleasant to work with. But under this function you can also get to where you want very well. Of course you can also control the basic functions via the LG app, but that is quite limited.

I found the voice control to work less well, the commands were not always executed correctly or did not give the expected results.

The remote control was also fairly easy to pair with my 'old' decoder, so I could easily operate it to zap. With the wheel on the remote control you can zap through all channels super fast!

The available apps are more than enough to enjoy all the streaming services that are available today. There is also plenty of choice in LG's app library so that you don't miss anything.

Streaming / casting from other devices also works perfectly! You can display everything on your TV from your mobile device without any problems.

Sharing my laptop screen to TV is apparently something that is not completely under control at LG. Tried to do this from two different laptops but it didn't work. The TV did receive 'something', but then switched back to what it was doing.

All in all: highly recommended!!!
