Hi @drdoom2kHearing some bad stuff about the CX 77 in that thread next door in terms of panel uniformity. I wonder if the GX 77 might actually have the “better” panels by LG?
Just buy one and try it mate, if it's crap send it back, nice and small, least it's not tv size for the old swaperoo.Has anyone tried an Nvidia Pro with its AI picture enhancer? Wondering if it really helps some lower sources, be handy.
hopefully in a few months mate.. if the uniformity is nothing like the current cx 77s....Yeah, love the GX design but just too expensive for now sadly!
Uniformity all good though mate?Only 65 I'm afraid! Wish I could fit the bigger ones haha!
Uniformity all good though mate?
Yep all good mate, happy as Larry with the set! All calibrated as well now thanks to @Canary_Jules and it never fails to amaze my eyes!
Check what prices you can get the gx 77 for in other countries, makes you sic

not sure what Canada do with sales tax tbh.isn't that excluding sales tax which they have to pay though? so brings it back up to our price?
I have a decision to make re LG OLED 77GX vs Samsung Q75Q950TS - which TV do I keep or go with, I currently have the Samsung which has a degree of dirty screen / vignetting that is visible on grey or white coloured backrounds, do I swap it out for the LG 77GX?
Samsung:
Mounts onto the wall with easy cable management due to one connect box, no wall channeling required
8K capable albeit no real content at the moment or foreseeable future
Has catch up apps installed
Looks great on the wall, minimal bezel and very low profile
It’s expensive
Pictures look great but with some minor hallowing but not too noticeable in most cases.
Blacks are good but not as good as OLED.
LG:
Larger screen but has a slightly thicker bezel than the Samsung
4K capable only but not an issue.
Does not have catch up apps at the moment but may in the future - Also not a major issue though for me.
Would probable look great on the wall BUT would require wall channeling due to where the cables route on the back of the unit.
Less expensive than the Samsung
Potential for screen burn, already experienced this on my E6V
Excellent blacks, no hallowing and great contrast (Samsung is pretty good though)
And this is a big one making me re-consider or not to swap the Samsung to an LG GX - reports on this forum are indicating that there seems to be issues with banding and screen uniformity on the CX which is the same panel as that used on the GX.
I’m sure there will be more for both TV’s but I don’t want to swap the Samsung only to inherit issues with the LG as I only have one chance to swap, what would you do / recommend - I have until Thursday morning to make my mind up !!

I love the LG user interface, it's so fast and smooth to use, the magic pointer makes it so quick to type with.I was torn initially between LG CX 77 and a QLED 75. I went for the CX in the end and am very pleased that I did. The picture quality is second to none, perfect solid blacks and no hint of any blooming. One very small difference between the two, which I think I would miss, is the inability of the Samsung to flag up an icon when switching to HDR content. With Samsung (as far as I'm aware) you still have to search within settings to check what picture you are getting. The LG remote and user interface are also much slicker and easier to use in my opinion.
Did you have a look into this mate?Thank for your thorough reply young James ,I do see improvements with the latest rendition of the Atv app on the C9 , and to my old ravaged eyes it looks just as good as the ATV box ,however you have piqued my interest when you say that the elevated blacks are now fixed with the Beta firmware , I shall update mine later tonight ,and report my findings
I’m afraid my QE75Q950TS is being returned tomorrow and being exchanged for an LG OLED77GX, a difficult decision but the GX is over £1000 cheaper albeit a little bit more of an inconvenience to me to mount it onto my living room wall. I hope this is the right decision and I don’t end up with poor screen uniformity / banding etc.
