The TV is AMAZING! Eagerly waiting its arrival, I set it up as soon as possible right after.
Very light for the size. Very elegant. Very thin. Looks amazing.
After the firmware update I found the “magic remote” point and click feature amazing! The Nintendo-like controller with sensors… What a clever way of navigation!
I encountered quite a few bugs in the firmware. I will not go into detail but had to reset the TV many times in order to get set up correctly as it had trouble playing nice with Philips Hue Sync Box. The “magic remote” features do not work with it.TV tries to be smart, the box tries to be smart and I ended up being frustrated. Unfortunately I ended up using only one port on the box which is not a good result.
TV has smart-home integration and picked up my lighting setup! It tries to replace the remotes for various other devices and does achieve it at some level but it needs improvement as the end-result and experience is frustrating. The remote needs more fixed buttons (fwd, back, stop/play etc)
I read and watched a lot about the TV while waiting for it so I knew a lot of what to look into and tweak.
The UHD, Dolby Vision, HDR content display from the usual streaming services was amazing. Content was auto-recognised and settings applied. Crystal clear picture. True blacks. Amazing. Sometimes when scenes cut to black I am thinking to myself “did the TV just switch off?” It is that black! No light bleed. The detail is amazing and so is the colour.
One of the tips I adopted up was “change the display mode per content type”. In the past I would customize my TV to my liking and use the setting for all content. This TV makes switching display mode so easy and I am doing exactly that. Switch mode for gaming, movies or live TV. It makes the viewing experience so much better.
Gaming on it is fantastic and there are a lot of settings specifically for gaming. Kids love it. Nintendo is upscaled amazingly well and PS5 content blows the mind. The provided modes do help again in switching per game type and do make a difference. Somehow I also like standard game mode really good for TV shows! And I switch to that in many cases.
Sound is just terrible! Sorry LG. Just not good enough. You do need a soundbar. Mine was connected by eARC and all was smooth. It is a let down that the sound level cannot be displayed when using a soundbar! Previous 2015 TV was showing the level now I have no idea what the level is.
Can say a lot more... 2500 chars are not enough!
