Best TV I've ever owned…

Having spent a couple of weeks with this TV now, I can probably say it is the best TV I've owned.
Starting with the look and design of the tv, it is very elegant and a strong robust build, i was surprised at how thin the screen was but how solid the tv feels as a whole. so this was very good.
The Remote control is great and a big step up from previous magic remotes, and very customisable which I thought was fantastic, the quick launch buttons feature is a great addition. and the addition of more direct launch buttons for streaming services at the bottom of the remote. the microphone is very good and understands commands well. the redesigned remote is very good in the hand so i would say its a big improvement on all fronts here.
The picture of the TV is nothing short of astounding. it is fantastic, I've tried streaming services, 4k Blu-Ray, Regular Blu-Ray, SD tv, HD tv. Normal TV watching is very good, and the pre set picture settings are very good, although going into the settings and fine tuning your picture is easy enough. i feel Full HD and Beyond are where this TV really shines. Dolby Vision is fantastic, and HDR in 4K really adds some punch, it is the best 4K picture I've seen. the upscaling of Blu Ray is really good, although i found the 'Full HD' of streaming services to be a little pixilated at times.
When I set up the TV i set it up with AI sound, and i have found this to be the best option, as other sound modes sound a little flat, so i switched it back to AI mode and have left it on that. but the sound overall is really good and very punchy. and very clear and well defined for speech.
The App Store has all the normal services, so this was no real shock, the LG store is very standard fare, but it does its job well.
My only grumble is Webos 6.0, I liked the old way the task bar used to pop up, rather than the whole screen. But this is very very minor.
All in all a very good TV and a big step up from my old LED LG TV so I'm very happy indeed.
