Our take on the LG OLED65A1P A1PU 65" Ultra HD Smart OLED 4K HDR TV 2021 Model
The LG A1 is LG's entry-level OLED TV, sold here in the 65-inch size. It uses a self-lit OLED panel for perfect blacks and wide viewing angles, and runs the webOS smart platform with voice control, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and built-in streaming apps. Unlike LG's B and C series, it has a 60Hz panel and lacks HDMI 2.1 features, so it is aimed at movie and general TV viewers rather than gamers. Owners praise the picture contrast and design; the main complaints are modest brightness and the limited gaming features.
- OLED panel with per-pixel contrast and deep blacks
- Wide viewing angles for off-center seating
- webOS smart platform with voice control and streaming apps
- Slim design that mounts close to the wall
- Four HDMI inputs and built-in tuner
What reviewers say
Owners rate the A1 for its contrast, color and clean design at the entry point of LG's OLED range. Critics say it is dimmer than step-up OLEDs and not the set to buy for console gaming.
- Picture qualityPraisedOwners highlight the deep blacks and contrast that OLED delivers.
- BrightnessCriticisedReviewers say peak brightness is lower than LG's B and C series, which shows in bright rooms.
- GamingCriticisedThe 60Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 features make it a weak pick for console gamers.
Questions and answers
- Is the LG A1 good for gaming?
- Only casually. The panel runs at 60Hz and has no HDMI 2.1, VRR or 120Hz support, so fast console games lose the smoothness and low-latency features found on LG's B and C series.
- How does the A1 compare with the LG C1?
- The C1 has a brighter panel, a 120Hz refresh rate and full HDMI 2.1 gaming features. The A1 keeps the same OLED contrast and webOS software but trades those extras for a simpler set.
- Does it have built-in streaming apps?
- Yes. It runs LG's webOS with the major streaming apps, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and voice control through the remote.
- What connections does it have?
- It offers four HDMI inputs, USB ports, an optical audio output, a headphone jack and an ATSC tuner, along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- Is it bright enough for a sunny room?
- It is best in a dim or controlled-light room. In a very bright room the lower peak brightness makes the picture look flatter than on brighter LCD or step-up OLED sets.
- Does it support 4K HDR?
- Yes. It is a 4K Ultra HD set with HDR support, so it plays HDR content from streaming services and discs, though its brightness limits how much HDR pop it shows.
