LG - 27" Class LED Full HD Smart TV with webOS (2022)

TLDR: The QUALITY of a monitor/TV's display panel is what defines its lasting value as its "Smart TV" functions become obsolete. LG makes great IPS display panels and I cheerfully bought this 2022 TV/Monitor model new in 2026 because it has the display and HDMI features I needed for a great price. It's also got a rare, if not unique, feature set in being a small 'full HD' (1080p) computer monitor with the all of the added HDMI ARC and TV functions. I needed such a small TV to act as a console for a stereo HiFi system using an Apple TV 4K playing through HDMI ARC to a Fosi ZD3 DAC/pre-amp. The TV's software behaves well and offers various digital audio handling options that make this system work very well for me.

I wanted to downsize my 43” samsung tv in my bedroom to something smaller, because I do not watch much tv anymore and wanted more space. It was between this tv and a Vizio. Im sure glad I picked this and spent a little extra money. Despite its size and only being 1080p it has a beautiful picture! I like the different picture and sound modes. This is my first LG tv and im very pleased!

The picture quality is great! But, the complete package has two significant drawbacks: 1) the remote, almost 50 tiny buttons (I need to use a pencil eraser to navigate them) and even though the TV is equipped with ‘Alexa’ the remote has no microphone on it to communicate with ‘Alexa’ 2) my wall mount plate covered up the input/output jacks on the back of the TV, which are located right below the plate mounting screws.

If you want something that falls between a 24" and a 32' and is called a TV than this is the one and only option I could find anywhere. I'm extremely grateful that LG is even offering a TV in this size regardless of it's features, specifications or performance. You can find numerous monitors in the 26" category but if you want the functionality of a TV this is pretty much the only option I could find. Fortunately it turns out to be a very good TV. I was installing a second TV in our motorhome and wanted to find the largest TV that would fit the allowable space and this fit like a glove. I wanted the functionality of a TV verses a monitor as a TV provides many more options regarding internal speakers, source inputs (HDMI, Ethernet, WiFi, etc) and it has a remote control. You will be pleased with this TV regardless of your space restrictions.

I’m very happy with this tv. It’s a nice size for my craft room. It was easy to set up The picture and sound work well.
