[xboom] Product Trial & Promotion Who’s interested which portable party speakers offer strong bass? Test the xboom Stage 501 and find out!

7 Upvotes

If you're looking for a portable speaker, how much does bass performance matter to you? A speaker can be loud, but that doesn't always mean it delivers the depth and impact you're looking for. For bass-heavy music, a good party speaker should deliver powerful low-end while keeping vocals and instruments clear and balanced.

So, which party speakers offer the most powerful bass? We want to put that question to a real-world test with the LG xboom Stage 501.

We're looking for 1 community member to try it out, put its bass and overall sound to the test with their own music, share an honest review with the community, and keep the speaker afterward!

What Should You Look for in a Party Speaker for Bass-Heavy Music?

For strong bass performance, it helps to look at how a speaker handles low-end impact while keeping the rest of the track clear and balanced.

Sound Tuned by will.i.am, Powered by Peerless: Stage 501 combines sound tuned by will.i.am with Peerless drivers to produce a rich, powerful sound suited for music playback and larger spaces.
Calibrated to Your Space: Stage 501’s Space Calibration Pro fine-tunes the sound based on your space or setup, helping the bass feel balanced while keeping the overall sound clear.
Smart Sound Balance: With AI Sound, Stage 501 adjusts the balance between bass, vocals, and instruments depending on the track, while Sound Field Enhance helps deliver a fuller, clearer sound.

What Makes a Portable Party Speaker Good for Karaoke?

For karaoke, a good portable party speaker should make it easy to sing along, adjust vocals, and keep the music going across different setups. Here’s how xboom Stage 501 handles it:

AI Karaoke*: Turn the music you're already playing into a karaoke track without a separate karaoke app. With Vocal Remover and Key Changer, it is designed to make the music you're already playing easier to turn into a singalong moment, with lighting that tunes itself to the mood of the track.
Long-Lasting Battery: With a 99Wh battery and Play Time Enhance Mode, Stage 501 delivers up to 25 hours\* of playback on a single charge, giving you more freedom to enjoy music without staying near a power outlet.
Flexible Setup: Stage 501 can be positioned in four ways (Vertical, Horizontal, Tilted, or Pole-mounted) making it easy to adapt the speaker to different setups.

We’re curious to hear how the Stage 501 performs with your favorite tracks, especially when it comes to bass performance, overall sound balance, and karaoke features in various outdoor settings!

Product Megathread [Review Megathread] What Makes an Outdoor Speaker Work for Parties and Gatherings? The LG xboom Stage 501 in Real-World Use

2 Upvotes

Hey r/LG_UserHub,

For a party or gathering, taking a speaker outside is about more than just turning up the volume. You need something that can keep playing without an outlet, sound good across an open space, and fit easily into whatever setup you have in mind.

That got us looking back at the LG xboom Stage 501 user reviews. Across different reviews, people put it to work in situations ranging from riverside gatherings and backyard parties to outdoor DJ sets and karaoke nights. We wanted to see what those experiences can tell us about what really matters when choosing a speaker for an outdoor gathering.

1. Camping & Weekend Trips

Camping is a good test of what you actually need from a portable speaker. There may not be an outlet nearby, the weather can change quickly, and anything you bring has to be worth the space it takes up.

For u/Kensik (r/LG_UserHub), battery life was one of the biggest considerations:

"Battery life is a huge deal for me because I spend a lot of time camping where there isn't any power available."

The Stage 501 has a 99Wh battery with up to 25 hours of playback¹ with Play Time Enhance Mode, which manages power consumption while preserving essential bass performance. The battery is also replaceable, giving you another option for longer trips.

Weather was another consideration. The Stage 501 is IPX4 rated² for protection against splashed water, which can come in handy when you're dealing with light rain or an unexpected splash.

u/Kensik (r/LG_UserHub):

"I'm not planning on throwing it into a lake, but accidents happen."

2. Backyard & Outdoor Parties

A backyard party or a day by the river can be a different test for a speaker. With no walls around to reflect sound, you may need to fill a larger area while keeping the music clear and powerful. The Stage 501's Sound Field Enhance Mode is designed for open-air spaces where reflected sound is naturally reduced, adjusting the output to help maintain a fuller, more powerful sound. Space Calibration Pro analyzes the surrounding environment and fine-tunes the sound based on the space you set up in.

u/element4life (r/LG_UserHub) put the Stage 501 through an all-day session by the river, from noon until 9pm:

"Even outdoors with nothing around to reflect the sound, it filled the entire area easily, and still had plenty of headroom left."

The Stage 501 kept the music going throughout the nine-hour gathering, delivering up to 160W in Battery Mode and 220W in AC Mode, with two 5.25" woofers and dual 2.5" full-range drivers crafted by Peerless and tuned by will.i.am.

As the gathering continued into the evening, AI Lighting added another part to the experience, with lighting that can sync to Melody, Rhythm, or Voice. u/JayJay1227 (r/LG_UserHub) particularly enjoyed the automatic lighting:

"I mostly used the AI mode where it picks and chooses different lighting depending on the type of music and it worked very well, I'm especially a fan of the strobe lights.”

3. Karaoke & Home Hangouts

For a home karaoke night, keeping the setup simple can be just as important as the sound. u/Sithlord_77 (r/LG_UserHub), a semi-pro DJ and part-time KJ, liked how much equipment he could leave behind:

"With the Stage, all I need is a microphone and the cell phone I was already using with Spotify, some willing participants and we're partying."

This simple setup requires no separate karaoke app, as AI Karaoke Master runs directly from the speaker.

The Vocal Remover lets you selectively delete only the vocal parts of the desired song in real time, removing as many steps as you want, such as 50%, 100%, etc. The Key Changer can raise or lower the pitch up to four steps while maintaining the tempo. All these features can be operated using the dedicated karaoke knob located at the top of the speaker.

4. Everyday Listening

Lastly, not every gathering has to happen outdoors. A few reviewers found themselves using the Stage 501 around the house too, whether they were moving from room to room or simply keeping music on throughout the day.

u/Harmed_Jr (r/LG_UserHub) highlighted the battery life and handles as part of that everyday flexibility:

"The battery life and ergonomic handles make it perfect for following you around the house."

At 11.7 kg, the Stage 501 is still easy to move with its 2-way Easy Grip Handle. including upright, horizontal, angled, and pole mounted configurations, giving you more flexibility depending on where you set it up.

u/Toxik916 (r/LG_UserHub) even used it in place of a soundbar:

"There's no latency when connected via auxiliary and having 220 RMS watts of power made movies come alive!"

For everyday listening and casual hangouts, the Stage 501 also supports multi phone pairing, a 3.5mm aux input, USB-A port for USB stick music playback, and a built-in holder for a phone or tablet.

So, What Actually Makes a Good Outdoor Speaker for Parties and Gatherings?

Looking across the trial reviews, people used the Stage 501 in very different ways, from camping trips and riverside gatherings to karaoke nights and everyday listening at home. What they needed from the speaker changed with each setting, whether it was battery life, sound for a larger space, simple karaoke controls, or portability around the house.

Now It's Your Turn

Where would you use a Bluetooth speaker most? Camping trips, backyard gatherings, pool decks, beach days, outdoor workouts, casual hangouts, or somewhere completely different?
What matters most for an outdoor party or gathering? Battery life, sound quality, volume, portability, water resistance, connectivity, or something else?
If you've used a speaker at an outdoor gathering, what made the biggest difference in your experience?

Discussion Two Weeks with the LG 86-inch Micro RGB: My Initial Xbox Gaming Impressions

gallery

7 Upvotes

Some of you may remember the original r/Xbox [Try & Keep] Looking for Best Gaming TV for Xbox? Try LG Micro RGB evo 100” TV post for the 100" LG Micro RGB. Due to availability in Canada, I ended up receiving the 86" model instead.

I have now had the TV set up and in use for about two weeks, so I wanted to share some of my initial impressions and the things that have stood out to me most so far. I am still planning a much more detailed review later this month, but this should give a good idea of my experience with it up to this point.

Setup and Size

At 86" this is by far the largest TV I have ever owned. I have traditionally used 65" TVs and I honestly underestimated how big the jump would feel. I used to be skeptical of anything much larger than 65" at 4K because of the lower pixel density, more visible aliasing and other image quality tradeoffs. Larger sizes can also sometimes come with their own compromises, such as reduced brightness or simply not getting quite the same panel performance as the smaller models.

After using this TV, I have completely changed my mind. The increase in immersion is massive, and I really don't think I would want to go back to 65" as my main TV. 75" would probably be my minimum going forward.

The TV weighs around 125 lbs so setup definitely required more care than usual. We used three people to safely unpack it, install the feet and move it into position. It wasn't overly difficult though, I just needed a few extra hands.

Xbox Gaming

I have mainly been using this display for the past 2 weeks with my Xbox Series X.

For context, I have owned an LG E7P, LG G2 and LG G4, so I have spent years gaming on high end LG OLED displays. Since moving to OLED I had honestly started to write off LCD as a technology. I always felt OLED was simply the better option and that even higher end LCD and Mini LED displays came with too many compromises. This TV has definitely changed my opinion on that.

I am going to save the full OLED vs Micro RGB comparison for the detailed review, but this is the first LCD display I have used that has made me feel like LCD can actually surpass OLED in certain areas while still retaining genuinely high-end picture quality.

The two things that immediately stand out to me are brightness and color volume.

For HDR I kept the setup simple. I used the default gaming picture preset, turned off additional tone mapping and enabled HGiG. Even with those basic settings, the 20% HDR window in the Xbox HDR Calibration app was reaching around 4,000 nits for both MaxTML and MaxFFTML.

Blinding is honestly the best way I can describe it.

On an 86" screen, that 20 percent window has roughly the same screen area as a 38"-39" display running full screen at 4,000 nits, and I genuinely found myself squinting when running the Xbox HDR test pattern. At night, both SDR & HDR scenes literally light up the entire room.

That brightness is also extremely useful during the day. My family room has a large window and skyline view, and this TV pushes through glare better than any TV I have owned. My newer OLEDs have been very good in bright rooms, but this is on another level. I can leave the blinds open and still comfortably see most of the picture.

In games, that brightness gives sunlight, headlights, reflections, explosions and other HDR highlights a lot more impact. That also seems to carry over into SDR. I don't have a meter to measure it, but subjectively even SDR can look extremely bright, somewhere in what feels like the 500-1000 nit range depending on the scene/content.

The other big standout has been color volume.

The Micro RGB has extremely wide Rec.2020 color coverage and the difference is noticeable to me in both HDR and SDR even without having another TV sitting beside it. Colors can look richer with more intense, reds, greens, blues etc. The TV also seems able to hold onto that saturation as scenes get extremely bright. Bright colors do not seem to "white wash out" nearly as quickly compared to WOLED, so things like neon signs, sunsets, fire, particle effects and highly saturated game environments can have a lot more depth and intensity.

It is not a night and day difference with every piece of content, and obviously the source material needs to be mastered in a way that actually takes advantage of the wider color capability. That said, I have still found the difference noticeable in normal everyday use with everyday content, all without needing a side by side comparison.

The best way I can describe it is that there are colors on this TV that I simply have never been able to see on any other display I've owned, and that is coming from someone who's only bought top of the line TVs.

For gaming features you also get 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium, Dolby Vision gaming, Dolby Atmos and LG Game Optimizer. You can virtually max out almost all of the gaming features available on the Series X. The panel can go beyond 120Hz with compatible hardware, but of course the Series X tops out at 120Hz.

Initial Impression / TLDR

After two weeks, the combination of the 86" size, HDR brightness, color volume and 120Hz VRR gaming have made this feel very different from anything I have owned before. The size alone has completely changed my opinion on large TVs, while the brightness and color performance are clear high points to this display.

I will be doing a much deeper review later this month covering picture quality, HDR, local dimming, gaming performance, settings and a proper comparison with the LG OLEDs I have owned. If there is anything specific you want me to test with the Xbox Series X, or if you have any questions about the display, let me know and I will do my best to answer them.

Lastly, I want to thank the moderators over at r/Xbox , r/LG_UserHub as well as LG for giving me the opportunity to try out and review this TV.

Disclaimer: I received this TV for free from LG as part of [Try & Keep] Looking for Best Gaming TV for Xbox? Try LG Micro RGB evo 100” TV LG has asked me to share my experience, but all opinions here are my own.

Support So, LG user Support in germany is really … slow

3 Upvotes

I honestly have to say that I am quite disappointed with how this is currently being handled.

I bought the LG UltraGear 39GX950B-B directly from LG as a pre-order for around €1,800. I deliberately chose LG because this is supposed to be a premium, high-end OLED monitor from the panel manufacturer itself. With a product at this price point, I expect not only premium hardware, but also premium customer service when something goes wrong.

Less than two months later, the monitor developed a serious and progressively worsening defect. What initially appeared as severe instability at 5K2K @ 165 Hz has now progressed to pixel errors occurring regardless of refresh rate. The errors can even be reproduced with absolutely no signal source connected, directly on the monitor’s own “No Signal” screen. At one point, the panel even failed to turn on altogether. The issue is documented in multiple videos.

I opened my support case on August 17th. Today, exactly two weeks later, I still have no actual update, no clear plan, and no information from LG about what is supposed to happen next.

The case has apparently been escalated to Second Level, while First Level has asked me to properly pack up and ship my practically brand-new €1,800 monitor away for repair.

Honestly, this is extremely disappointing. I understand that a defective product may need to be inspected. But for a monitor that is not even two months old and is already showing what appears to be a serious panel-related failure, I would expect LG to seriously consider an advance replacement instead of turning a practically new premium product into a repair project.

And from LG’s perspective, there is even a clear benefit: collect the defective unit afterwards and use it for proper engineering and quality analysis. A failure this early in a premium OLED should surely be something worth investigating thoroughly.

I paid full price for a new, high-end LG OLED. I deliberately chose LG over other manufacturers because I expected the company to stand behind its flagship products.

Two weeks without a concrete response or even a clear plan for a serious defect on a €1,800 premium monitor is simply not the level of customer service I expected from LG.

Support Power Safe Mode not working on my Triple LG Ultragear 32GS75Q-B.AEU Screens

1 Upvotes

SOLVED! (Solution see the comments)

____________________

I bought 3x LG Ultragear 32GS75Q-B Screens for my Simracing Rig.

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-32gs75q-b-gaming-monitor

Everything is fine except the weird behaviour that they don't go properly into Power Safe Mode, when I disconnect them in the Windows Screen Configuration (Windows 11).

It is stated on the screens that they will entering Power Safe Mode an dthen the screen goes black, but after a few seconds they awake and "entering Power Safe mode" is displayed again. This loop goes infinetly.

I tried many settings. I disabled Autoswitch (all three screens are connected via Display Port on my RTX 5070 Ti), and set Deep Sleep and Smart Energy Saving to the highest settings (but tried every combination before).

So, I have to Power Off the screens completely and then there is no problem, but this is annoying.

Problem solving through chatGPT didn't lead to a solution unfortunately.

Does anyone can give me a hint?

Thx in advance!

Support LG Ultragear Scan Lines Problem

1 Upvotes

I bought a new LG Ultragear not so long ago and it started showing vertical red scan lines after 6 months of use. I use HDMI as I have no gpu or dp slot in my mobo, although it gives 180hz.Now initially the scan lines were fixed after the technician cleaned up the blue connector inside the monitor and later on the pixels got broken so I had to replace the panel. It's been a month since the new panel and the scan lines are back. I checked the OSD even when the hdmi cable was out and it still showed lines. I am frustrated and looking for people with the same issue that might have a solution.

Discussion Underwhelmed With LG Bluetooth

1 Upvotes

Since LG only provides basic aptX codec Bluetooth support, I am going to try improving that by running the sound out via optical cable to a 1mii BO3 Pro+ Bluetooth setup to transmit.

My headphones are setup to receive aptX Lossless which should provide better sound quality when I need to use headphones.

The BO3 Pro+ lets me route the signal through another optical cable to a soundbar. The only downside is I have to set the LG to output sound in PCM mode, losing any 5.1 surround sound ability.

Discussion LG Monitor App aggressively invasive. Installed and showed ads without my permission.

1 Upvotes

It installed through Windows' automatic driver installation and never prompted for permission to do anything. But I noticed an ad for McAffee on my desktop when I had not installed any software recently.

Look at all of these paths that remain on the system AFTER uninstalling it through Windows.

How is this legal? There should be a class action against this company as this amounts to a Trojan Horse.

[OLED TV] Review & Setups LG OLED evo AI G6 65″ Review: A TV with Almost No Reflection

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, as part of a promotional event on /r/Netflix, I received a free G6 65", and while I was asked to share my first impressions of it, these impressions, thoughts and opinion are entirely my own.

I have spent around two weeks now with this TV and coming from a C2 55" that I owned before and that I have now given away to a friend of mine, let me tell you in advance that this is a massive upgrade.

First of all, I never had a 65" TV before. I underestimated the difference in size. So, the first thing I had to do was move up my cupboards on the wall. I couldn’t install the TV on my own, it was too big and heavy. Now the initial setup was quick and easy, although I was a bit confused by the audio description function. It also talked too quickly (although you can adjust the speed later), but since I don’t need audio description, I turned it off.

My TV settings:

Picture Mode: Filmmaker
Contrast: 100
Black Level: 50
Gamma: 2.2
Color Temperature: Warm 40
OLED Pixel Brightness: 30
Peak Brightness: High
Dynamic Tone Mapping: off
Expression Enhancer: off
TruMotion: Cinematic Movement

Now regarding my actual watch experience, the difference in picture quality is immediately noticeable. The G6 is to me much brighter, the colors are more vivid, yet they feel very natural and realistic. No complaints with HDR or SDR. I tested some of the modes like Cinema Home and Filmmaker, and I think I prefer Filmmaker the most. I test-watched several series (like Arcane), movies and a David Attenborough documentary to test the quality of the picture, and you can see some of the results below:

Noteworthy is that I took these pictures in my living room during daylight. What previously bothered me about my C2 was the reflections during daylight or at night when I turned on the lights. And while you still see some small reflections from the side, when looking at the tv in a straight line, the experience is basically reflection free.

I even tried taking a picture with the flash on while the TV is turned off (see below) and I barely saw any reflection, which is a massive improvement over my previous TV. I no longer am bothered and distracted by reflections. I no longer have to roll down the shutters on my windows or turn off the lights for a more optimal experience.

Regarding the sound quality, I used the AI Sound Pro mode and kept the default settings, and I have no complaints ~~(which for a German is the highest compliment)~~. The built-in speakers sound great, the bass sounded weighty and punchy to me.

Now regarding some of the things I didn’t like… it’s the webOS. I didn’t like it before, I don’t like it now. It’s not only still confusing to navigate, I am constantly confronted with ads and that I should check out the LG channels. And speaking of other functions I didn’t really care too much about, the LG Gallery+ function seems to be a nice-to-have, but most of the gallery pictures that are featured seem to require a subscription, and there is no one to admire these when the TV is turned off, so I just didn’t use this function.

What I haven’t tested yet is any gaming on it. That will probably be next on the list of features I want to test. So far though, I am very impressed with this TV and genuinely have so much fun with it. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to test the G6 and am looking forward to keep using it.

Discussion Seven 1977 Films for a 77 Inch Screen

6 Upvotes

I was thinking about the spectacle of watching films on a huge screen, and given that LG has an Ultra Large 77-inch screen, I decided to create a list of 1977 films for a 77-inch screen. Seven of them, just to keep the theme going further!

The obvious pick from that year is Star Wars, which still looks awe-inspiring nearly 50 years on. But elsewhere, some juicy large-scale choices are befitting a massive screen.

For instance, A Bridge Too Far's fully loaded wartime wonder features plenty of shots suited for the biggest screen possible. The adventure gem Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger is a different kind of spectacle that honestly would make a neat double bill with Star Wars.

William Friedkin's suspense-filled Sorcerer, and the stylish horror tag team of Suspiria and House are also on my list, but I'm sure others would fit this particular niche!

Discussion VistaVision at Home: Bugonia

1 Upvotes

Now, honestly, I can't tell you why Yorgos Lanthimos decided to shoot Bugonia on the VistaVision format. Unlike previously mentioned films like One Battle After Another or The Brutalist, the film has a very intimate setting, mostly involving only three characters. We don't have larger-than-life, sprawling wide shots of landscapes or open-road car chases. Most of the film takes place in a dilapidated house and basement.

That being said, it's still an amazing film to look at. The fine details in the cinematography, from basic scenes like a dinner conversation, shine. The colors of the skin tones and the environment give a mundane setting a real pop to it all.

It's almost a complete 180 from all the reasons why the format was used in the previous titles mentioned above, and yet it still somehow works. When watching a movie like Bugonia at home, you come to appreciate the decision to shoot in this format and think of the potential for future uses of it.

Discussion VistaVision at Home: The Brutalist

1 Upvotes

Rewatching Brady Corbet's "The Brutalist," I remembered why he opted to resurrect the VistaVision format to shoot the movie. There are so many shots within the film that can be framed as portraits of their own, telling their own story.

The film is about a Jewish-Hungarian architect, so Corbet wanted to shoot in a style that could do the work of an architecture justice. The larger format gives more detail to these finite images on screen. Pictured above, László Tóth, played by Adrian Brody, designs and builds a library for a client of his. The love and craftsmanship are on full display here, especially as he adds the finishing touches, with the light hitting the chair.

In order for one to relive the experience of watching it in the theater, you really have to watch it on the biggest and best-quality TVs you can find out there. Only then will you be able to sit back and enjoy the life and struggles of László Tóth as he brings his brutalist masterpieces to life.

Discussion I Love Boosters is maximalism heaven, and the colors are half the experience

3 Upvotes

Sponsored by LG as part of the LG OLED Movie Club.

I Love Boosters (2026) should be getting SO much more attention, and I feel offended and victimized that it isn't!

This movie is maximalism heaven. Director Boots Riley has created a world where it feels like there are absolutely no rules, and I mean that in the best way possible. Hello?? All one color at a time at the Metro Designer stores, which play into the segments of the movie? The styling and costume design are doing a lot of lifting in building this completely over-the-top universe, and I think we need to start putting this movie in the Best Costume Design conversation.

But I also think I Love Boosters is a really good example of why color accuracy and overall picture quality matter beyond just movies with huge action sequences or dramatic cinematography. So much of this movie's personality is in the details, such as the colors, the outfits, the production design. If those elements aren't coming through clearly, you're losing part of what makes the movie feel like itself, and Boosters never falters on that.

There is SO much happening visually at any given moment, and I loved being able to take it all in instead of having everything blend together. This is one where a good picture adds to the viewing experience because the maximalism is the point. You should be able to see every zany outfit and every ridiculous detail Boots Riley decided to throw into this world.

Academy, you have your assignment. I love Boosters! 💛

What movie has made you realize just how much color and picture quality can change the entire viewing experience?

[Sound Suite] Review & Setups How Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Makes TV Speaker Placement More Flexible

youtube.com

3 Upvotes

Hey r/LG_UserHub,

If you’re looking at top-rated sound systems for a TV setup, one thing that can be tricky is figuring out where to put the speakers, especially if you don’t want to run cables across the room.

Smart Home Sounds posted a quick look at the LG Sound Suite, the world’s first soundbar audio system powered by Dolby Atmos FlexConnect (DAFC), and how it handles speaker placement in a real living room.

What’s interesting about DAFC is that you don’t have to start with a fixed speaker layout. It works out where the speakers actually are and builds the spatial sound around that setup.

The video also shows Sound Follow in action:

Set your listening position in the ThinQ app to optimize the sound for where you’re sitting.
Moved to a different seat? Just hit Set Position again.
Within a few seconds, the spatial sound adjusts to your new spot.

The video also compares this with traditional room calibration. Instead of assuming the speakers are already in the right places and tuning around them, DAFC first works out where the speakers are, then adapts the sound to the setup.

It’s a pretty quick demo, so give it a watch if you want to see how flexible speaker placement works in practice!

Discussion JASON LIVES - but

My favorite FRIDAY THE 13th movie is JASON LIVES - and on my most recent watch I realized it's because it marks the moment FRIDAY THE 13TH movies finally start to feel huge.

Earlier entries have their rickety, greasy charms, but director Tom McLoughlin shoots Part VI like a Universal Monster movie. Jason is resurrected by lightning, framed against fog, and allowed to tower over Camp Forest Green like an honest-to-God movie icon.

The money shot is the moment he climbs atop a wrecked RV, cradled by summer fog. It’s already one of my favorite images in the series, and I keep wondering how much more imposing it would feel on a 77-inch LG OLED, with Perfect Black letting the night surround him exactly as the filmmakers intended.

If you could pick one ’80s horror movie to watch on a 77-inch OLED, what would it be?

[OLED TV] Review & Setups A Very Carpenter Education… featuring my LG C6.

1 Upvotes

Sponsored by LG as part of the LG OLED Movie Club.

There’s a ten year age gap between myself and my younger sister. One of my greatest privileges and joys in life is being able to introduce her to some of my favourite films, and I am forever grateful that she’s game for any movie I throw her way – its such a cherished bonding experience.

Popcorn at the ready, she spins the wheel (on my phone!) for a wild card pick and LUCKILY, we finally landed on one of my favourite films of all time – John Carpenter’s THE THING. My LG C6 had just arrived and I begged my sister to swap out of the sitting room for my room, so we could witness the downfall of Outpost 31 in all its OLED glory.

The C6’s Filmmaker Mode elevated the experience in ways I couldn't imagine. Its use of Perfect Black and Perfect Color paired with the seamless audio of the Dolby Atmos breathes new life into an 40+ year old film. The Thing was a landmark achievement in cinema, whether you like it or not. Carpenter's writing and direction, the acting, Dean Cundey's stunning cinematography pair with Rob Bottin's mindbogglingly gnarly SFX work – it's a juggernaut accomplishment.

When it comes to visuals, The Thing is one of my favourite films. The Carpenter/Cundey partnership was a match made in film heaven. The use of color in this movie is something else – girl that’s not bisexual lighting chasing you, its John Carpenter’s THE THING.

I’m delighted to announce that we have another Carpenter convert in our midst! Escape from New York next!
