I researched for months on buying a new tv. I’m not an A/V expert by any means but I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to home theater. We all want the best and biggest TV but let’s be honest, most of us don’t have the budget for the best. When your standing in the store, it can get overwhelming looking at all the different TV’s. Most of the time, a 1,500.00 TV doesn’t look as good next to a 5,000.00 TV, which brings me to the LG 82 inch LED. I got it on sale at Best Buy for 1,699.00, vs a 2,800.00 Samsung I was considering. Once I got it home and set it up, I knew I made the right decision. This thing is massive and after a little tinkering with the picture settings, it really came to life. Football looked amazing and the picture was extremely smooth during fast moving parts of the game. Blu-ray movies were even better. From Transformers to Training Day, it didn’t disappoint. Colors were great and darks were good as well. Not as good as OLED but for the price difference, it’s a no brainer. I did invest in some better quality high speed hdmi cables, which seemed to make a difference. After 3 weeks, I get happier with my purchase each time I watch It. I went from a 65” Samsung to this and it’s a huge difference. I encourage you to invest in a good quality sanus mount as this TV weighs 100 lbs. I got one at best buy for a 100 bucks and am very happy with it. This TV won’t look as good as the 5,000.00 Samsung’s and LG’s it sits next too, for many reasons. But if your on a budget like me, you will be thrilled with it when you get it home and on the wall.

I have a 55in same LG Modle. Loved it a lot. I would had given this a 5 start but the first tv I got in messed up less then 24 hrs after install. (The screen looked like it was cut in half and one side worked normal.) Best Buy was on top of it and had me a new tv the next week no hassle and installed. I love the remote on this tv, the picture is perfect but the sound could be better. Over all I was happy enough to buy the tv two times- two different sizes. It’s a great quality picture with many settings to personalize you watching experience.

The picture is darker than I expected. We moved up from a Samsung 75”. This tv has good motion so all the sports I watch are better than the old tv. Still trying to dial in the settings to find the exact best picture. Quite a few different picture settings. Overall no complaints. The only reason I didn’t rate a 5 star is the darker picture and the hd shows on direct tv don’t seem to have quite the contrast I expected. But 82” for less than $2k, no complaints!
