Like many, I purchased this Black Friday 2022 on a Great Deal. I was a little skeptical but this truly is a fantastic tv and I am quite satisfied! PROS: - Unboxing and setup is pretty easy as this is very light and thin! I wall mounted mine and had no issues whatsoever. - Once you turn on the tv there are a few steps you need to do like connect to the internet but the startup wizard to set you up is very nice and smooth! - I am using this TV with an Apple TV 4K (2022 Model) and it produced crystal clear Dolby Vision at 60hz. I was very impressed with the picture quality! The definition is fantastic, the OLED panel really provides great contrast, and the Dolby Vision is a game changer! Can’t say enough how great the picture quality is for the price! - I was also very impressed with the TV’s sound quality! The TV produces Dolby Atmos with its built in speakers and it’s probably the most impressed I have been with TV speakers before. I ultimately went with a Soundbar setup instead using the HDMI ARC and that supported my Dolby Atmos sound bar as well. - The TV also comes loaded with great features like Streaming Apps, Google Assistant / Amazon Alexa, and plenty other smart tv options. CONS: - It is only 60hz refresh rate, aka no 120hz if you want to use this for high end gaming. BOTTOM LINE: - This truly is a great TV! Perfect for the space I needed it in and comes loaded with features. It produces Dolby Vision picture quality and its built in Speakers produce Dolby Atmos sound as well. The A2 is perfect for home streaming viewing!

I am enjoying my LG OLED tv. I had been hesitant to purchase last years model, but the price was $549 and all other OLED started at $1000. It was 60 mz refresh rate, rather than the 120 mz refresh, which I was glad I could not notice any lag or ghosting watching the IU basketball game. I am not a gamer, so most of what I watch is football and basketball. I also had to consider that there were many LED tv's with a great picture for $300. What made the decision easier was seeing them side by side. OLED does have a sharper picture that also looks good even when you are not sitting squarely in front of the tv. A few things to mention for improvement. I had a steep learning curve using the remote that had no labels on it and no intruction book telling what each button does. Maybe if I had a smart tv previously, it would have been easier. I had an old 32 inch, 200 pound tv, so it is much nicer having a tv I can lift by myself. This one is about 25 pounds. Without instructions, I managed to get the tv up and running. I still have not been able to download any new apps on the tv and am not even certain it is possible. It came with several apps, but not the Dish Anywhere App. I also had to purchase a pedastal stand to be able to swivel the tv--I am still waiting on a friend to put that together, The end cap legs supplied were 1 inch too far apart for my stand. I had to bring in a longer board in order to use the tv. Most people mount these on the wall, but I live in an antique brick home with horsehair plaster and lath walls, which I did not want to trust to hold up this new tv. I have 3 hdmi ports and 1 usb port, wish it had another USB port. Also, the antennae input extends to the side in a tight spot. It would be better if it came straight out of the back. This is difficult for women and the elderly, as we have weaker finger muscles. I just checked and it does not readily appear that there is a way to use the tv without the remote. We have not lost it yet, so for now that is not a problem. I am very pleased with my purchase and the price. Delivery was on time. They also price matched within a week of delivery.

Our Sony gave up the ghost (blown power board I suspect) so we knew we needed a new TV and to Best Buy we ran. We had a budget of up to $1000 but that was pushing it. We finally got someone to help us and we were opting for the Hisense as it had most of the features we wanted. But I noticed this LG OLED at just 48" which was just slightly bigger than our Sony. Using my Best Buy app I scanned the bar code. THAT MUST BE A MISTAKE!!!! $599 for an OLED screen? I told the salesperson and they looked at me like oh yeah, right. None of the OLEDs go for less than $1000. He scanned the bar code with the official store app while I awaited to hear the real price. "Son of a gun!!!" It is $599. I'LL TAKE IT I EXCLAIMED!!!!!! He replied "ME TOO!". Seems they had two in stock. Okay, this isn't the top of the line OLED monitors but man oh man does it look great. While watching Star Trek, yes, the old one, it looked like a new show. Space was dark and the colors beyond vibrant. And it only got better from there. It has built in LG channels that are free (basically Pluto channels) and comes with a host of free apps, browsers, Google Voice Assistant and more. AND, yeah it's 4K. I don't have anything out side of my DSLR that will show me 4K but my images looks so detailed. Cons? Well, 48" is probably small for most of you but for us it's a great size as we have a small living room. LG really one upped everyone on this one. If you have a chance to grab one, DO! The salesman was having someone write up the other TV while we purchased this one. So glad we didn't go with the Hisense though it was a bigger screen. The quality and clarity more and vibrant colors more than make up for those missing inches. OLED is definitely the way to go. Oh and if you are worried about burn in, the TV comes with automatic maintenance built in that runs automatically after so many hours to prevent or reduce burn in.
