Our take on the LG A1 65" OLED 4K Smart TV (2021)

The LG A1 is LG's entry-level OLED, sold in a 65-inch size with a 4K panel and the self-lit pixels that give OLED its deep blacks and wide viewing angles. It covers the basics well: webOS smart apps, voice control, screen mirroring and HDMI inputs for consoles and streaming boxes. It is a step below LG's B and C series, which add brighter panels and gaming features like higher refresh rates and HDMI 2.1. It suits movie and series watchers who want OLED contrast without paying for the gaming extras, and reviewers rate its picture for the money while noting it is dimmer than pricier OLEDs.

Questions and answers

How does the A1 compare with LG's C series?

The C series is brighter and adds HDMI 2.1 and higher refresh rates for gaming. The A1 keeps the OLED contrast but is dimmer and limited to 60 Hz.

Is it good for gaming?

It handles casual console play, but the 60 Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 mean it cannot do 4K at 120 Hz. Serious gamers are better served by LG's B or C series.

Does it have smart apps built in?

Yes. It runs webOS with the major streaming apps, plus voice control and screen mirroring from a phone.

Is OLED burn-in a concern?

Static elements like logos and tickers can leave temporary marks with long, repeated viewing. Varying content and using the TV's screen-care settings reduces the risk.

What is in the box?

The TV, its stand, a remote and the power cable. Check the listing for the exact accessories included with the unit you buy.

Will it fit a wall mount?

Yes, it is VESA-mountable and its slim panel sits close to the wall. You need a mount rated for the 65-inch size.
