Overview

The LG 55EA8800 is a 55-inch OLED television that showcases the core strengths of OLED display technology — true black levels, extraordinary contrast, and vivid colors produced by self-illuminating pixels. Unlike LED-backlit LCD panels that rely on a backlight that can bleed through dark areas, each pixel on the 55EA8800's OLED panel emits its own light and can shut off entirely, delivering perfect blacks and an effectively infinite contrast ratio. This results in a picture with remarkable depth and realism, particularly in dark scenes, HDR-style content, and high-contrast material.

The TV also features built-in passive 3D capability with two pairs of lightweight, battery-free glasses included in the box, making 3D movie nights effortless. LG's webOS smart TV platform provides a user-friendly interface for streaming, and the included Magic Remote allows point-and-click navigation, voice search, and universal control of connected devices. Connectivity is well covered with four HDMI ports (one HDMI 2.0), three USB ports, optical audio output, component and composite inputs, and a wired Ethernet jack. While its 1080p resolution places it behind current 4K OLED models, the 55EA8800 remains a compelling demonstration of what OLED technology brings to home entertainment — unmatched black levels, razor-thin panel design, and wide viewing angles that keep the picture consistent from virtually any seat in the room.
