Gaming and PC connectivity
Characteristic | Result |
PC preset | Yes |
1:1 pixel mapping | Yes |
4:4:4 FHD i UHD color resolution | Yes |
Input lag (measured in 1080p60 SDR) | approx 108 ms (Professional 1 preset with Game mode Off), 25.5 ms lowest (Professional 1 preset with Game mode On) |
TX65EZ1000E performed well when I tried to connect it to the PC and gaming console. In the “Option Settings” you can activate Game mode which will greatly reduce input lag to the level that will satisfy most gamers. While playing action packed games such as Steep or The Last of Us: Remastered, response to my controls was without any delay that would affect my gaming performance.
On the other hand, if you want to connect your PC, you can get full-color resolution for both 1080p or 2160p content if you activate 1080p Pure Direct or 4K Pure Direct respectively.
Sound quality
To be honest, I had my doubts when I was installing supplied soundbar on the TV. It felt very light and fragile, so I questioned myself if this really can pair up well with the TV of this class. Luckily, I was very positively surprised by the sound quality. The sound is very well balanced, clear and can get very loud, good enough for watching movies and TV shows. Bass can sometimes surprise you with its volume and high frequencies are rich in details.
It does lack real low frequencies one can get only with a separate speaker system and when you crank it up it sounds a bit harsh as high frequencies start to dominate the spectrum. Similar as on E6/G6 OLED TVs from LG last year. Although you can clearly separate left, center and right channels, the soundstage is not as wide as I would prefer.

Alternatives
There are cheaper OLED TVs on the market, namely those from LG Electronics. Good alternative is LG OLED65B7V that goes for £3,899.00 on Amazon UK at the time of writing and which shares same OLED panel that is also capable of displaying Dolby Vision content. Sound quality is not as good, but for the price difference, you can get an A/V receiver and a 5.1 speaker system that will sound significantly richer than any soundbar system, especially in terms of immersive sound and surround effects.

Recenziju na stranu, volio bih da je tekst na HR jeziku jer na ENG je mogu pročitati na AVForums-u, Rtings-u, …
Thanks for review. So your opinion is that this TV has the best picture processing, and SD program upscalaing,, from the 4K TVs you tested?
About screen glare,, have you any experience with Anti-glare film? yes,, I understand that mounting a film to 65 inch monitor is not easy :)
wrgb is wrong,for most acurate color only pure rgb,nothing less or nothing more.
Kind regards
