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

It's my first time buying an LG TV and it's also my first time owning a 4k UHD . It has so many features that I haven't been able to look at all of them. I like the TV and I bought it because it was on sale and a great price. I'm happy with it so far and I'm sure that anyone would be. I waited a long time before buying this TV for a few reasons , one was because I didn't need it because my other tv still worked and two was after looking and comparing different types and brands and sizes this was the one I ended up purchasing and my mother's TV went out so that gave me the excuse to but a new one since I gave my mother my old one, lol. I don't think anyone would really be disappointed with this purchase.

TV pictured looked good in the store but even better in the house. Color is bright and accurate. Operation is simple. Sound bar adds to the experience.

At first, I thought that I had made a bad purchase until I got to watching 4k movies and playing my PS4 and now I know I made the right decision purchasing this T.V.

Fantastic TV the picture takes a little fooling with to find what's right for you. But after that smooth sailing, and what a upgrade from 1080

Tv does not heat up like others, It's easy to set up. It has a great menu.

Great TV, user friendly, sharp screen! Smart apps are great

The good: Outstanding smart platform with good app selection; great, innovative Magic remote (like using a Wii); very fast and responsive OS with tons of configuration and calibration options; stylish and well-built design with a stable curved base. TV has good uniformity with little dirty screen effect or clouding (larger models may be different), good anti-reflection screen, wide color gamut but not as wide as higher end TVs. Sound is decent for a flat panel. Like all IPS panels, solid wide viewing angles. Low lag for games. Generous support for four different HDR standards (Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, Technicolor Advanced HDR). The bad: Weak contrast compared to a LCD with a VA panel. Local dimming is ineffective and can be distracting--definitely don't set it to high unless you like columns of light on your screen, but medium seems to do okay. In a dim to dark room, blacks look grayish. HDR peak brightness is so-so, with some ability to brighten small highlights appreciably. Bottom line: It's a great TV so long as you know the limitations. IPS LCD panels are good for wide angle viewing areas (because VA LCD panels don't do nearly as well with angles) and decently lit rooms (lighting minimizes the impact of the limited contrast and black levels). I bought this for just such a room and thus I am happy with it, especially given the stellar smart platform. I would not recommend it for sitting directly across or for a dark room, such as a home theater. In that case, it will disappoint, despite the very attractive and expansive features list. However, it would excel in a well-lit living room, a sunroom, or a bedroom, or anywhere with off axis seating. (Note that the 49" is only 60Hz, but will interpolate 30fps and can do 24fps.)

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!
