In Reply to: get an OLED for home movie viewing ....... posted by trioderob on June 21, 2023 at 20:26:23:
Not to mention I can now read the fine print from my viewing position! And I wasn't expecting a lot of brightness with OLED's, but this TV has that micro lens array technology (or, as LG calls it, "Brightness Booster Max"), which refocuses the light and prevents light loss characteristic of older OLED's (70% brighter compared to LG's previous generation). In fact, Ms. CfL claimed it was too bright until she got used to it.

I got my set from Costco - but they don't do installations (wall mounting) anymore. Fortunately, I was able to find a local installer (and his assistant) who managed to use the existing wall mount from our previous 65" plasma TV. The new TV is actually lighter, even though it's larger. And these guys were VERY reasonable compared to other services I checked. At first, I thought they were Mexican, but it turned out that the main guy was from Kazakhstan and his assistant was from Kyrgystan. Since their charge was SO low, I gave them a tip of 100% - and that total charge (including the tip) was STILL less than a couple of other places I checked.
One thing I noticed though is that, with the additional resolution, you can see imperfections somewhat more - such as the film grain at the beginning of "Apocalypse Now".
