LG - 49" Class - LED - SK8000 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

I've enjoyed every moment with this TV since I got it, the speed and ease of use of the interface is amazing. The image quality even with non-4K content is amazing! Must be an excellent upscaller in the system. It's really great for gaming too, I don't notice any ghosting or input lag that I can perceive, and the HDR from the few PS4 games that support it really makes the games pop! Sound quality from such a thin TV is great too, I don't have a soundbar yet but so far it's acceptable audio quality. Not "tinny" sounding as some TVs can get. It's very stylish too, I like the curved base stand and the all-aluminum backing of the TV. Overall, I am very satisfied with my decision to go with this model. It's a "mid-range" model but I can't imagine how much better "higher end" models can be, as this has everything I would ever really need from a 4K HDR TV!

It was finally time to upgrade to a larger TV. Looked online at the selections offered at the local Best Buy store. With notes on a few choices in mind I headed to the store. That all changed when I saw the the LG Smart TV. I was blown away by what I saw. While it was a bit more than what I wanted to pay, I couldn't pass it up. And now that I have had it for a few weeks I am extremely happy with the quality of picture I am seeing. Even the sound is great, given that audio quality is decreasing as the TVs get thinner. This LG offers a lot and delivers. I am not one who desires digital assistance, so I am ignoring this feature. A priority for me was 3 HDMI ports and this set happily has four. Setup of the TV's audio and picture was a breeze, actually took longer to assemble the stand. The remote is nice with a lot of features, however, some of the features can be annoying. Overall it is a great choice.

Picture was great and it was easy to get the initial setup working but some of the digital assistant features weren't clear how to use or very useful so I am not even using them since the only work with Google Assistant or Alexa. If you are using Spectrum, you can't seem to use the LG remote to access all the channels. Biggest frustration was that the mounting brackets take metric screws to fit in to the tv and my existing bracket used imperial (like 1/4") screws. So before I could mount the tv, I had to run to Lowes and get the right screws. Why wouldn't they include the screws with the TV for $650? Also, make sure you connect the HDMI cable before mounting it because they are hard to reach once the tv bracket is on the wall.

I bought this TV after my previous LG television had its backlight go out. This is my first 4k TV, and I'd be hard pressed to tell you the difference in picture quality between 4k and HD, but that may be because I haven't invested in a 4k Blu Ray player yet. I love the SmartOS LG employs, along with other bells and whistles like the ThinkQ AI and Alexa and Google Smart Assistant compatibility. It comes with a Magic Remote which, a week after I bought the TV, flaked out on me and stopped working, and I ended up having to completely reboot the television to get it working again. Otherwise, I've got no complaints. It's a very good TV and I would recommend it, especially for gaming as the response rate is phenomenal.

I don't own the tv. But I was looking into buying it. I can't say what the picture looks like but have read it's a good picture. So why am I writing this? I was looking at the pictures of the back of the tv. And 2 things are going to make me pass on it. The location of the Power cord and the inputs that are facing straight out. I have a tv stand setup to mount a tv. and both the power cable and those inputs are in line with the mounting bracket. My only option would be to take apart My stand and reconfigure it for table top viewing. And that's not why I bought the tv stand. If you look at the pictures the mount ports and power cord are next to each other. Like the look of the tv but beware if you want to mount it to a wall or tv stand.

Bought this tv since the display in the store looked great and the speakers are 20w. Got it home and started watching Mr Robot, and noticed horrific back light bleeding, and worked through all of the settings trying to remove it. Turning off local dimming helped the most, but the bleed was extremely distracting as there are about 5 or 6 zones, all vertical. So if I have one or two separate areas of brightness in a zone (Regardless of height) the entire section lit up brightly making the picture look horrendous. Normal tv/movies looked fantastic, and the remote/user interface are awesome, but the backlight bleed is the worst Ive ever seen.

Because i have a 65" 65SK8000PUA LG tv and it has true 120Hz refresh rate. I wanted a smaller TV for my mom and this is what she wanted but unfortunatelly, its 60Hz refresh rate!! Why did LG make a 49" TV with 60Hz in the 8000 series category?!?!?!?!!? ALL 8000 SERIES MUST HAVE 120Hz REFRESH RATE, NO EXCEPTIONS!!! 55" is too big, Samsung has 'synthetic' 120Hz refresh rate, Sony dies with pink screens and the rest are just, not smart at all.. So remove this model from the stores because its an embarrassment to the 8k series and replace it with the proper model!

I’ve only had this tv for one day. The set up was beyond easy. I researched a lot before purchasing. I went into the store to see all the TVs and this is the one that stood out to me in the store. It caught my attention. The sound is amazing and the picture is unbelievable. I got this on sale so the price point was perfect. The customer service was really honest and helpful. This is my first new tv in about ten years so an obvious upgrade. I’m very happy with my purchase!
