Great TV for a reasonable price
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it a lot. This is a nice smart 4k tv with a ton of features. Read the specs, they are good. Good delivery, well packed, I received in great shape. This is my first 4k tv and I like it a lot. I said that already didn't I. Lots of inputs and great picture. I don't have a true 4k source yet to try it out on but I have a sony blueray player that does upconversion to 4k and it looks great. If you catch it onsale get two!

Easy, out of the box and ready!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv replaced my 1080p tv in my living room. Super easy to mount and setup, and worked instantly as it should. Picture in 4k is super clear and no distortion... love the Alexa integration and voice remote.... also the integrated apps like Netflix, Amazon video, etc start quickly and work flawlessly. Love it.

Very Good TV
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Full disclosure: This is my first 4K TV. I feel like I'm having the same trouble adjusting to it that I had when I went from an SDTV to an HDTV. I paid the extra $3/month to get the 4K Netflix streaming and I can safely say that content shot specifically for 4K looks amazing, particularly nature shows. Scripted and older programs to me do not look as good or natural in 4K. Having said that, I appreciate the speed with which everything launches on this TV (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc.). However, with Netflix I have an issue after an episode or two with the program reloading in SD which looks terrible on this TV. I have not had that issue with Amazon or Hulu. Bottom Line: I could have lived without moving up to 4K. It doesn't really enhance my overall enjoyment of watching television and I could have lived quite happily with my 1080P 3D plasma.

Superb tv!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv has excellent picture with full rich colors and deep blacks. The sound quality is very good as well. I had no issues following on screen prompts to set up WiFi or Netflix. Great overall tv for the money. Get someone to help you unpackage and mount if you choose to do so. It’s not overly heavy but definitely ackward doing alone.

Leaps and bounds better than vizio
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initally bought the vizio M558-g1 and immediately regreated it. The picture and sound were horrible. Ended up returning it after the TV began to turn itself off. Then I saw this bad boy on sale for 530$. Wow. Picture is so much better. Clean bright and crisp. Speakers sound really good. TV feels solid and well made. I'm very happy with the purchase.

An OK tv. Not a great tv
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this television a few weeks ago. I ended up returning it and exchanged it for a Samsung NU8000. I had the 55 inch version. It was ok, but the colors and brightness just did not compare to my Sony or to the Samsung that I just bought. I would recommend that if you are thinking about this tv for the price point, you would be much more satisfied with the Samsung because the colors and brightness are head and shoulders above this tv. FYI: I have an 82 inch Sony, an old 37 inch Vizio, and now the 65 inch Samsung. All of those, even the old Vizio, were better in my opinion than this LG.

Disapointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for a great picture then this tv will deliver, however the sole reason I purchased this tv was for the built in Google Assistant. I wanted this tv to work seamlessly with my google home devices. For the premium price that I paid it should, but It does not. Unfortunately, the best tv in my house is still my 10 year old LCD "dummy" tv with a chromecast doggle attached to it. It works perfectly with Google home hub and my phones. I just wish LG would follow suite, especially since it's advertising Google assistant built in.

WOW!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just picked up this tv. After some adjustment to the picture settings, it’s phenominal! The speakers are stunningly rich and full. Very unusual for TVs these days. The setup was very simple. I followed picture tuning from rtings.com. This is a fantastic tv period.

Good picture but wifi bad
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used an amazon fire stick for wifi. Question: why is the fire stick picture quality much better than what LG wifi provides? Seems like LG should have fixed their wifi problem instead of blowing smoke to consumers.

Amazing!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first, when I bought this tv it was your average amazing 4k, but the second I actually got a 4k cable to connect my Apple TV, everything looks just as good if not better than it does in store!!! LG is doing some pretty amazing things this year

Awful Blacks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are watching a dark scene with little color moving around the screen will flicker like crazy. https://youtu.be/1HQjiBZlnWQ . Other than that the picture and sound are both pretty good. It would be nice if it had better google assistant intergration so I could say "Hey google pause tv" instead of "hey google ask lg to pause tv"

Great TV
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great TV. Easy to set up. To get a brighter picture, make sure you turn off the energy savings. You will find that in the settings menu.

Beautiful picture, horrible app functionality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this TV for 6 months now. I have my original Xbox One hooked up to it and that is what I use most of the time to watch movies, tv shows, etc. Given the OG Xone does not steam or play 4k HDR content I have attempted to use the smart apps directly from the TV. This is where my 2/5 star rating comes from. The LG apps I use are Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, Google Movies, Vudu, and Disney+. The 4k HDR/Dolby picture is beautiful. However I have never been able to finish a movie without the app crashing and reloading. It is beyond frustrating as I would like to take advantage of the TVs features. I have looked online to see if others have experienced this issue and I found one for Vudu. The people at Vudu said it's a known issue and they are waiting for LG to fix it as the issues is on LG's side. I have also factory reset my TV twice and the issues still persists. I really hope this issue is fixed soon, but I am not getting my hopes too high as this model is about to reach 2 years old.

Disappointing
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordinarily when I purchase something that requires an investment of more than $50 or so, I will research it extensively online until I’m satisfied that I’m getting the best product for my money. This time I simply took the advice of the professionals and made the purchase. Besides, how could you go wrong with a $900 4K tv, right? That said, as I read the reviews for this tv, I probably would have bought it anyway. Well, the deal is done, we’ve had the tv for about a month and we’re disappointed with the quality of the picture. It’s too white. We’ve tinkered and adjusted with all of the tuning settings and even had the dealers’ tech guy come in and try to dial it in. Still the picture is far inferior to the picture of the Sony Bravia that it replaced. People’s faces are unnaturally white, backgrounds that have any white, are too bright and often have an annoying glare to them. If you’re watching a picture that has bright sunlight in the background, it can be totally white and completely washed out to the point where you can’t even make out what you’re looking at. Detail and definition were also better with the Sony. Last LG for me. My advice would be to watch for this before you buy this tv.
