So far I'm impressed by this LG and what it's technology provides. The setup is super easy. I've got a Cat 6 ethernet cable running to it from the router to eliminate lagless internet having to connect via WiFi. It turns on in 2 secs literally! Updates are easy to download either automatically or with permission. The Home screen allows you to customize your most used viewing programs 'n apps automatically or you can manually choose where you want them. The remote is well thought out and you can also control it like a pointer on the screen as well.
Setting up hardware to input into the TV is simple and I thank LG for that. Also settings for everything too are made simple without having to read the manual or other people's tweeks. It's easy to change something if you want to after the initial setup. Like the remote, all the settings are easy with this TV.
Picture-wise I am as impressed at the images viewed in my own home as I am in the store that often uses demo content to show off their TVs. While this is my first 4K TV, it was obvious how much better this is to my older Vizio even though I still appreciate the clarity of my Vizio. And what they say about the Blacks is true I think...you don't see the haze of gray light when something in the scene is bright while in black surroundings.
There are even two settings which you can choose when watching in a dark room at night or during the daytime in a bright room. Watching it in the daytime doesn't make for pesky viewing. The AI chip adjusts for the best picture. I also liked that the pedestal is U-shaped rather than four legs which if it was the legs, wouldn't have been able to fit into my large entertainment center. It would be nice if TV makers would give you the option. I'm lucky that I chose this TV not only for the quality but that it didn't make me get rid of an old entertainment center with angled sides where the TV would sit.
This was one of the TVs chosen to provide a great viewing experience watching the Super Bowl. And it fit my budget and didn't make me over-spend to get the quality and performance that I desired.
Looking forward to trying other features like seamlessly casting my phone's pictures and video to the LG. And yes I have an LG thinQ phone as well but I didn't choose this TV because I had an LG phone.
