Really great TV. Plug and play as long as you have a good aerial. But gets all the channels sound is good and is good value for money
It isn’t heavy but not the lightest either. My friend has it running 24/7, it’s hardly ever off and does not seem to use a lot of power. As durable as any telly. I may get another one for downstairs as I’m so impressed with the one I’ve got.
Good tv.Easy to set up.No hand set contoller paperwork.Hard to work out what to press to change from TV,movie channels or xboxone channel.Also cannot find button to get weather or sport info on BBC1 like my other Tv
This is my second LG tv, this one is in the bedroom. LG tv’s are simply the best, so many apps, clear high definition picture, easy to set up. I wouldn’t buy any other make.
This is a great tv. Sound and picture is great. Plug in and you’re ready to go. However, the remote control buttons are so small and buttons not easily recognisable. There is no information to tell you what all the functions on the remote are. I have finally managed to figure out what most of them do but it would be helpful if there was directions with it. All in all, a good looking tv.
Easy to set up. Done it with my phone. Lots of apps. Remote is a wee bit small. Works fine with your phone. Good clear picture. Has freesat and free view built in. Has hd and fhd. Good sound. Ideal for a wee room if you don’t have a big room for a big tv
Positives – setup really straightforward, picture and sound quality great.
Downside – no instructions how to actually *use* the thing (it has an inbuilt user guide, but the content and way it’s laid out don’t tell you what you really need to know). Searching on the Web is hopeless – plenty of sites, but even the LG site itself tells you to press buttons that don’t exist on the remote! The remote I got is the ‘standard’, not the ‘Magic’ one; many reviews will advise you to go out and buy a replacement third-party one, and I can’t disagree. Some of the buttons don’t seem to do anything at all. Would it have bankrupted them to include even a one-page flimsy foldout guide to what each button is basically for?
One absolutely essential piece of advice – **don’t** buy a USB flash stick for this. These are compatible with *recording* programmes on the TV, but if you press the “Pause” button on the remote with a USB stick plugged in, you get a message like “You can’t use this device for that”. A further Web search (!) explains why – you have to buy a USB hard drive or (better, I’d say) a USB SSD, if you actually want to pause what you’re watching. (The USB connector is USB-A, and quite a few SSD’s have a USB-C connector, so make sure you get an adapter or that one’s included with the drive).
So it’s a great product, but a little extra help/better “Getting Started”/things to know guide would have made this a much bigger winner.
***UPDATE: if you want to mirror your laptop screen to the TV, the instructions everywhere on the Web are just plain wrong – the videos on YouTube and even the LG sites point you at outdated versions of the TV software and screen grabs you’ll never see – insane! What you *actually* have to do is download and install the LG screen share application on your laptop (Windows). Once you have it installed, and your laptop is on the same WiFi as the TV, pressing the “choose source” button on the TV remote shows you an extra selection to the right of HDMI1/2/satellite etc, which is your laptop name. (It makes the laptop into a ‘server’ somehow.) Choose that, and you can browse and play content on your laptop from the TV (I used it to play something I recorded using a Hauppage quad tuner – now *there’s* a useful bit of kit). Took me at least a couple of hours to puzzle this out given all the misleading Web stuff I found.

Kept with the same brand as had had good experience previously.
Impressed with this TV. Easy to set up and good. Controller is the same as the last TV I bought so no problem using it.
