Description

With the LG OLED55B42LA (2024), your favorite movies, series, and games come to life. The OLED screen is made up of millions of pixels that are colored, lit up, or darkened individually. This provides a high contrast, so black images really are black. That way, you can see all of the subtle color tones in a nature documentary or the details in a dark scene. You can use your smartphone or laptop to easily stream content to the TV via Apple AirPlay or the built-in Chromecast. Are you an avid gamer? Then the 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs are useful to game with a 4K resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate. That way, your games look razor-sharp and smooth so you don't miss a moment of the action.

OLED TV with powerful contrast and lifelike colors

  • Realistic contrast and deep black levels
  • Bright and realistic colors
  • A sleek design

I thoroughly enjoy an evening of binge watching with the LG OLED65B42LA. The bright colors and strong contrast provide realistic images and an immersive effect.

Realistic colors and contrast
I notice that the image quality of this television is very good. The colors pop off the screen and the contrast is high. This gives a very realistic image, which allows me to enjoy my favorite series with full attention. The OLED screen consists of millions of pixels that all light up and dim individually. This makes black images really black. This ensures the high contrast. However, during a sunny afternoon I notice that the brightness is not that high. For example, a dark scene will not be clearly visible. That is why I recommend not placing this television in an overexposed room or next to a large window.

Sleek design
The television has a very thin screen, which gives it a sleek and modern look. This makes it a stylish addition to the interior. Due to the thin design, I hang it tightly against the wall with a wall bracket. I like that the screen is well filled and the TV has almost no edges. This makes me even less aware that I am watching television, so I enjoy what is on the TV more.

Built-in Chromecast and Airplay
This television has both AirPlay and a Chromecast. This way I can quickly stream series and films to the TV from my phone. This television has both AirPlay and a built-in Chromecast, so that is ideal. This means I no longer waste time in the menu and can watch my favorite series on the big screen in no time.

MagicRemote
The OLED TV comes with an LG Magic Remote instead of a standard remote control. The Magic Remote fits comfortably in your hand and is pleasant to use. I find it useful that the smart buttons take me directly to my favorite streaming services, such as Netflix and Disney+.

TV with sharp image

  • Razor-sharp image
  • Lifelike
  • Low energy consumption 100W
  • thin screen, difficult to hold when mounting

Beautiful TV with a super slim design. The image of this OLED B4 looks super sharp. What took some getting used to is how dark the screen looks. We did not experience this as a negative, because the image is of such good quality. You can really enjoy this. You can adjust the settings to your own taste, but it will never be as bright as, for example, your phone screen. Even when a lot of sunlight shines in, the image is still clearly visible. Perhaps if the image is brighter, more power is also consumed.

The sound of the TV itself is also very good! Never heard such good quality from a TV before. Normally you miss the depth in the sound here, but not with this TV.

The only downside was installing the TV. We have it hanging on a bracket on the wall. It would be nice if there were some kind of handles on it, so that you can easily hold the TV during installation (otherwise it is best to do this with three people). In addition, installing the WebOs/Thuishub does not work. You should also be able to use the ThinQ app via the remote control, but that still hasn't worked. When turning on the TV, a service postcode was requested, but we didn't figure out what to enter here. Fortunately, other functions just work and are easy to set up. So you can just use your apps properly. Apps also start up very quickly. We were able to test this TV and are very positive! Very nice TV, especially considering the prices of the other series, this is a cheaper option but delivers good performance

For an entry-level model in Oled, this is a beautiful device! The clarity is very good, and will probably be better with a more expensive model, but you can spend that extra price on a soundbar. We are super satisfied!
