Performance
The LG OLED77CXPUA’s HDR picture quality makes use of HDR10+ Dolby Vision IQ and Atmos to bring you a refined experience. It covers almost all of the DCI P3 color space and 3/4 of Rec. 2020. Peak brightness falls between 600-800 cd/m², depending on content. Contrast and local dimming are perfect. Unlike LCD TVs, the OLED panel can shut off individual pixels, thereby providing infinite contrast and zero blooming.
