Product Snapshot
Overview
The LG BX OLED TV is LG’s entry-level OLED TV launched in January 2020. Its OLED display can deliver better black levels and contrast than LCD, Quantum Dot, and even mini LED TVs. It also has a near-instantaneous response time and is very well positioned for gamers because of the low input lag. In addition, it also boasts LG’s WebOS UI that is smooth enough for quick navigation. Keep reading our LG BX OLED TV review below to learn more about what reviewers think. And take some time to go through the highest-ranked TVs available today.
