”It’s a phenomenal TV. Despite being LG’s cheapest-ever OLED, it’s one of the best TVs of 2021.” ’Which?’ – Best Buy.
Ultimate picture technology
This stunning TV is the first 48 inch OLED TV in the range and demonstrates the superb picture quality that OLED is renowned for. Rather than using a backlight, OLED TVs feature self-illuminating pixels. This SELF-LIT technology means that you get 100% colour fidelity, infinite contrast with the deepest depth and stunning detail.
48 inch – OLED made compact
Widely regarded as one of the finest screen technologies, OLED sets a standard for contrast and black levels that’s hard to beat. Although unavailable for many years, it’s now possible to get a 48 inch version of the award-winning technology, meaning you get all the OLED wonder but at a size that fits your room.
Power at its core – Alpha 7 Gen 4 processor
This LG 48 inch TV uses a new, more powerful processor for optimised sound and vision. The Alpha 7 Gen 4 processor features deep-learning algorithms that analyse and then optimise content. Whether you’re watching a movie or sport, TV or gaming, the processor adapts the sound and vison, automatically.
Ultimate detail - Dolby Vision IQ
For ultimate detail, in all environments, this LG OLED features Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit.
HDR made better, with HDR10 Pro
LG’s powerful processing also helps in getting the very best from HDR10 material. Whether watching movies or gaming with HDR10 games, HDR10 Pro intensifies the regular HDR experience. HDR10 Pro automatically adjusts the brightness, enhancing colour and detail for a more vivid picture.
See the picture exactly as originally intended, with Filmmaker Mode
If you’re mad about movies, you’ll love Filmmaker Mode. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and Hollywood studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.
Welcome home - LG webOS 6 for the best in smart TV
Widely regarded as one of the best smart TV platforms, LG’s webOS system just keeps getting better. The latest webOS 6 uses your viewing history to recommend a range of shows and movies from across various apps. An improved home page offers improved graphics, with dedicated info and search boxes.
Magic Remote made better
LG’s Magic Remote has always led the field for simple, gesture and voice control. The latest version retains this, while offering direct keys for popular streaming services and a new, cleaner style. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney + and Rakuten TV are all now just the touch of a button away. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa also get dedicated buttons for simply voice recognition.
The hub of your home entertainment
Featuring LG’s ThinQ AI technology, you can control a Home IoT ecosystem with natural voice recognition. With both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, it makes it even easier to control your LG OLED TV and quickly access the entertainment you’re looking for.

Take cinema sound to a new dimension, with the LG SN9YG Dolby Atmos soundbar.
Room-filling, three-dimensional sound with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
Stunning Dolby Atmos uses two upwards firing speakers (5.1.2 mode) built-in, to produce a multi-dimensional, immersive sound that's a match for the finest cinemas. DTS:X also pushes the boundaries of what you can expect from home cinema. Thanks to that upward-firing speaker array, the SN9YG bounces sound off the ceiling for a totally immersive sound. Heavy rainfall and aircraft flying overhead now sound so true-to-life that the effects will have you diving for cover.
Meridian technology for class-leading sound
Responsible for some of the finest home and car hi-fi, Meridian is at the cutting edge of digital audio. With their sophisticated technology on board, the SN9YG produces a wide soundstage and enveloping soundstage via the advanced processing. Meridian technology means total precision, with incredible detail and sound effects placed all around your room.
Bass power
The spacious, pacey sound is beefed up at the bottom end with a wireless subwoofer. This gives action movies serious muscle and powers the musical beat. The wireless connection means that it can be placed anywhere in the room, regardless of how close it is to the soundbar (mains power required).
Upgrade to full surround sound
For even greater sonic thrills, optional wireless speakers are available (model number SPK8 kit). These sync with the soundbar to give you the true sensation of cinema sound. The wireless speakers use a dedicated receiver, meaning there’s no need for wires running from the front to the back of your room.
AI Sound Pro for the perfect sound – whatever the situation
AI Sound Pro gives you the ideal sound balance - whatever you're listening to. LG's unique technology analyses the signal and adjusts the balance to suit. If it senses high vocal levels, for example, then it automatically lowers the bass, making speech programmes, such as the news or commentary, much clearer and more detailed.
Hi-Res Audio playback
At the heart of the LG is a top quality audio system that’s compatible with Hi-Res music files. Hi-Res sound gives greater detail and a more natural sound. The SN9YG is compatible with a range of HD audio formats, including FLAC 192kHz-24-bit for exceptional sound quality.
Google Assistant for effortless voice control
With Google Assistant built-in, the SN9YG becomes a handy voice-controlled smart speaker. Play music, find answers on Google Search and manage everyday tasks – all via simple voice commands.
Fully connected
With both wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, making a wireless connection with your streaming device is easy. For the highest quality link to your TV, the SN9YG uses an HDMI eARC connection, giving lossless transmission of uncompressed 5.1 channel and 7.1 channel audio – ideal for this Dolby Atmos speaker. HDMI and optical inputs are also standard, making the perfect connection for your Blu-ray/DVD player and games console.

Buggy mess with a terrible remote
The worst parts about the TV are the UI, and remote control (lack of media control buttons).
The media player supports fewer audio codecs than my old TV from another bran, which was 10 years old, the number of videos I haven't been able to watch on it due to its lack of support for the media codec is too many.
The interface is unintuitive and buggy. After an the media player has stopped picking up my network share containing videos, so it's hard to watch my home-movies. When it did (somewhat) work, it would bug out after scrolling a bit, and would stop listing all of the videos on the share after a bit, and would normally take about 10 minutes to load a folder after traversing into 4 nested folders.
Also, after update network functionality has been flaky, with it insisting it doesn't have network even though it does, and some apps will tell you to check your network where as others will work fine as you use it. Normally takes a couple of minutes for most network functionality to return (media player rarely works now).
The remote is horrible and lacks media control buttons which vital for a modern remote now the video on demand is a thing, it takes about four clicks to unpause a video depending on the service, and two to pause.
The sponsored buttons on the remote are also annoying

Dolby Atmos doesn't work on LG soundbar SP9A
I have this TV model LG OLED 55 A1PSA and the sound bar LG SP9A. BOTH devices say they reproduce Dolby Atmos content when content is available.
But, it's been 6 months trying to make it work.
Yeah... I'm using a special and expensive ultra speed HDMI cable.

If only everything was as good as the picture!
Image quality is really great. WebOS is really poor. Remote control is very poor, the select button broke in less than a year due to poor design.

Premium quality screen, impressive performance
I understand this is an entry level OLED TV, but its core component - screen - is premium quality, and I could not find anything that it does not do well. It is impossible to tell what more expensive TVs do better without putting them next to this one. 4K footage looks stunning. Full HD upscales really well and looks just as good as 4K. Upscaled YouTube videos are sharp, crisp and realistic, as if in 3D, with all miniscule details. DVDs look sharper, as if in HD, and even VHS copies look better than the originals. Very low resolution contents sometimes twinkles, as the TV tries to upscale static shots.
The TV plays any video files from flash cards and external hard drives: DVD VOB, mp4, etc. The sound is deep and the volume is beyond my requirements. The remote with a pointer is very handy. There are 2 HDMI and 2 USB ports, slightly awkward to reach when wall mounted; more can be added with splitters. It has got a basic web browser, so any videos that can be found on a PC can be found and played on this TV, albeit tabs and right click are not available.
Overall, impressive quality and performance. I now want to watch more videos because of this TV.
