Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an excellent television for the kitchen. It is a larger, 27-inch screen that is designed to fit under almost any counter space. I understand it can serve well as a computer monitor according to other positive reviews. The LED picture quality is excellent---for reference, my input source is an over-the-air antenna and streaming signals which has an uncompressed quality signal, versus cable. The unit sound is more than satisfactory. Some other reviews downgrade the speaker quality but you can easily adjust the sound and video too for different types of programs in the settings. The TV is not heavy for its size. Another positive, it rests on its flat base instead of having a stand. Now for two cons depending on your set-up and desire for a TV. First, the wall plug is a large adapter wall plug which is a small obstacle depending on your A/C power access. You can always use an extension cord or other adapter between the wall outlet and TV adapter plug-in as necessary, not a real problem. Secondly and more significantly, the unit comes with a standard remote instead of a more capable 'magic' type remote found on other sets. The problem here is that the television recognizes voice but the remote does not have this feature to match the TV capability. It is a standard remote without a 'microphone' button found on more capable LG 'magic remotes.' Surprisingly, LG does not even offer another compatible, capable LG remote with voice recognition for this model set. The 'only' workaround is to download the "LQ thinQ" app to your smartphone for voice recognition to reach the television. That would be a reason to rate four stars here. It may not be a deal breaker, but definitely leaves one to question... why?

It’s a great tv to sit on the furniture, but the remote kinda sucks and LGs webtv options are a bit limited compared to Samsung, for instance. I love it for the athletics and the picture quality, I didn’t have to mount it on the wall so there’s that. Overall solid just a challenging remote mostly.

Perfect sized TV for under kitchen cabinets. Very portable - we've also used it on patio and at tailgates. Sleek design that looks better in kitchen than a standard black tv with feet. Sound is a little tinty, but that's to be expected on a small tv. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

Looks perfect for kitchen counter. White border blends well with light backsplash tile. Horrible sound due to speaker design flaw. Speakers downward direction makes sound bounce back to unit. Echoes. Towel and rag under and back were no help. As others suggested, will get external speakers.

White matte finish works well in kitchen. Picture is good. sometimes even great depending on preset settings used. sound is terrible so use external speakers. I float it just above the counter using a tv mount. that way I can store it against the wall and move it around.

We really like this 27" LG TV in our kitchen. Its a really clean package. The screen is non-glare making it easy to see in bright conditions. Press the power button on the remote and, within about two seconds, picture and sound are on. The sound is the weak point for this TV. It's adequate for listening in the kitchen but there is very little bass. It does have Bluetooth, so using external speakers or a sound bar would be very easy. We are pleased with this TV.

Perfect size at a desk next to monitor. As soon as the ON button is depressed there is a picture, no lag time. Picture and sound are good. Haven't used the "smart" tv app or done any streaming.

Disappointed that 27" TV color not white like previous 24" white tvs.

LG has released a new TV design specifically for countertops (under cabinetry). With this design, this 27" TV will fit under most cabinets in the kitchen with ease. The package includes the TV, white HDMI cable, rear plastic cover, white remote control, 2 AAA batteries, AC power adapter, and some paperwork. The TV comes with a manufacturer's 1-year warranty.

You will still need another device like Roku or a Fire Stick to use that app on this TV via one of the HDMI ports. PROS: ----------- * The TV is aesthetically pleasing, almost looking like a giant tablet propped up on the countertop. * The remote is bluetooth (BT) so it doesn't have to be aimed at an infrared sensor that could get blocked by obstructions. * For a 1080p FULL HD picture, this one is quite good for its size. The picture is very crisp, and there are different picture settings to choose from including custom settings. I'm very impressed with the picture quality. * Setup was easy, responsive, and quick. A system update was taken upon setup. On-screen messages kept the user up-to-date on what was happening at every step. * I typically use wired ethernet for internet connections to my TVs but for this one, I did use wifi, and there were absolutely NO issues connecting or keeping a good/constant connection for the picture to remain in HD quality (it did not go fuzzy/pixelated). My internet is very good (AT&T Fiber), and wifi was well within range of the TV. Be sure your wireless router is in good proximity to the TV or you could have issues connecting as with any device. * The picture has a no-glare surface and can be viewed VERY well at any angle. * As shown above, app availability is very good overall. * If you go into the Settings, you can opt to remove the LG splash screen on TV power up and the TV powers up quickly, between 2-3 seconds. You can choose what screen or INPUT the TV starts on in the Settings as well which is a good convenience. CONS: ----------- * Acceptable response time from the remote but could be slightly better. * The sound quality is very weak and not very good though the design does emit the sound from the FRONT of the unit via the bottom area below the screen. Many TVs this size have speakers facing straight down. This one, the sound is at least projected forwards but it still of low quality. You may opt to connect a wired or BT speaker for better audio. * The "feel" of the buttons on the remote where the up/down/left/right/ENTER are OK. I like to have a remote in which I don't have to look down to ensure my thumb is on the center button. This one, is not quite as defined with the key "feel". * After connecting to my network at initial setup, I was unable to "Load the User Agreements" which opens up full access to all functions of the TV itself. I kept getting an error message even though the preceding screen (and Internet Connection option) showed I was connected. I SKIPPED this step and was able to eventually load the user agreements in the Settings menu. This is a SW glitch in the SW setup process and should be fixed with a Firmware update. I have posted a picture of the error. * This TV does not come with a 3.5mm AUDIO OUT jack. For a kitchen TV, this would be great to have due to the issues I had in my next comment..... * EXTERNAL SPEAKER SETUP was not as easy to maneuver when using an external speaker with a 3.5mm jack. I connected a digital optical/fiber OUT cable to a digital adapter that converts digital audio to the option to use RCA or 3.5mm jack to an external BT speaker with 3.5mm audio jack. The reason for this is because if the BT speaker remains ON, and the TV is turned OFF then back ON again, the TV does not automatically reconnect to the BT speaker. This is not good. The BT speaker has to be turned OFF then ON again for it to connect to the TV (or the order of "power-up" has to be TV first, then BT speaker). The speaker I'm using is the JBL Charge 2+ and also the Bose Revolve+ (I tried both) which are a few years old but still do the job well. If I turn off BT to the speaker and connect via 3.5mm jack, sounds DOES come out of the external BT speaker, but I lose the ability to change the volume with the TV remote like I normally have with the TV speakers and/or when connected via BT. After calling LG support, they stated that LG Sync needed to turned on, but that still did not increase/decrease the volume levels (the no speaker icon did go away with volume indication on the TV, but between 0-100, the actual volume levels did not change). Ultimately, since the 3.5mm jack was unable to work with vol up/down, I had to go with BT connection instead. If you use the ARC/HDMI option for audio, you should have NO problem. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: --------------------------------- * The AC adapter is pretty big and bulky at the outlet location. You may need to expand your outlet needs depending on other electronics plugged in at that location. * The TV has a very thin build but strangely enough has a very sturdy base with rubber feet. It does not want to tip over very easily and takes up little space. This TV does NOT come with a stand - it is made like this for a reason. This gives MORE SCREEN space and less vertical height which occurs with a stand. A stand on most 27" TVs may cause it to be too tall and not fit under standard cabinets. * There is 1.95GB of internal memory on the TV. I was unable to find documentation on whether a USB drive can be attached on the back to house extra memory for apps. If a USB drive is inserted in the rear USB port, the back may not be able to be snapped on depending on the size of your thumb drive. I have about 10 primary apps installed to the internal memory with no issues. * PORTS on the back of the TV include (1) Ethernet input (2) Optical Digital Audio OUT (fiber) (3) Power cord (4) HDMI 2[ARC] (5) HDMI 1 (6) RF Antenna IN (7) USB IN (5V. 0.5A). * The white frame of the TV may or may not fit your aesthetics depending on your counter and cabinet colors. I have mostly dark colors in my kitchen but have white appliances nearby, so it didn't look too bad especially when actually powered ON. See picture. * The TV can be mounted using the 4 bolt holes on the back or place on sturdy rubber feet. No mounting hardware is provided. * If using in the kitchen, you will want to be careful about splatter around the TV as it will show up on the screen and be harder to remove than if the screen was a glass surface. Don't use an ammonia-based cleaner on this screen (don't use Windex). Use an alcohol-based cleaner like you would use on tinted cars. And use a microfiber cloth so the screen is not damaged during cleaning. CONCLUSION: ================= Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this TV; however, the lack of a 3.5mm jack and the inability to control the volume of the TV when a wired 3.5mm external speaker is used does deflate my enthusiasm a bit. Since I can use BT instead, I can live with it. Also, we have the additional TV service DTV Stream which is not in the WebOS store so if we watch TV using this app, it will need another device to be used on one of the HDMI ports. DTV and LG have to work out contracts to get it added, so that may or may not be in the works. Other than that, the TV looks great and has a good picture for that size TV. Response time from the remote to the TV is acceptable but could be better. The TV has a TON of options which is great. There are too many to list here. You can also have the TV speakers ON or OFF while an external speaker is being used if needed. This is a win for LG, but work out the few kinks I have listed, and it will be a 5-star product in my book.

So as with all new gadgets, the experience starts with the unboxing. LG did a great job on ensuring the process was simple and hassle free. As for the product itself, it is unique and.... WHITE! If you're anything like myself, you love a great contrasting kitchen with white marbling, black, and wood tones. Which this fits perfectly and more naturally than a black framed TV. This TV does exceptional from a style standpoint, whether it be in the kitchen, a sunroom, or a child/small guest's room. It is wall mountable, but it's shape allows it to be a piece of art almost, standing freely as a monitor without a base, as most other TV's have the cheap and unsightly feet. And not to mention, are gloss black. So moving on with functionally and quality, I'd have to score this a 7/10. Mind you, this is against what my top tier OLED and QLED offer, so pretty good overall. The setup process is easy, especially if you already own an LG and have the ThinQ app. WiFi connection was solid, but the location I have this is only 20ft from my router. All apps work and run mostly quick. This isn't going to be your main TV by any stretch of you want excellent picture and sound, but it's going to fill the void for someplace you want to fit a TV, but want it to look more natural/aesthetic. The screen is matte on this, which attributes to mediocre color reproduction and contrast, as well as poor viewing angles. The latter of which is disappointing for a device that aims to be versatile in that it blends into a room, rather than being center focus like living room TVs. Sound is also tinny, but that's to be expected, and the TV has ARC/Optical out, so you can connect your own soundbar/system. I also appreciate the white HDMI cable thats included. Overall, a well put together and thought out product.

I got this tv to use in my kitchen. It’s small and light weight and the picture is quite good. Works off the wifi so just plug it in and go. I needed to add a ROKU stick to make it compatible with my Spectrum tv app.

The problem with buying things online is they look a lot smaller than they are. This is a great TV... the picture is bright and clear and I love LG's Smart TV OS! The built is stand is fantastic as well... it makes the TV a little thicker at the bottom but the trade off is worth it. The sound is just okay, that's probably the worst thing about it. Unfortunately the TV is just too big for my kitchen counter and that's where I wanted it. I had to put it up on my microwave behind me instead of on the counter in my line of site. I would have returned it for a smaller one but I was on vacation and missed the return date so I'll make it work. I got a great open box deal, and once my subway tile is installed I'll have it mounted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this TV if you have lots of counter space or want it for a bedroom! The remote isn't the best but it's not horrible either. The TV also works well hooking my Switch up to it and if I ever need an extra monitor I have one. All in all a great deal !!

Great tv. Good picture quality. Perfect for countertops or desktops and to use as a 2nd monitor for my laptop. The picture quality is so much better than my laptop and brighter. there’s a lot of picture settings which I’ll have to read the manual to figure out what will work for when I stream movies versus using it as a monitor. I knocked off one star because the remote control is not a smart remote control. There is no microphone on the remote control. Also, the remote control is not back lit, which totally sucks when you want to watch TV at night with the lights off. Another negative is that the screen is not a touchscreen, so if that’s important to you, this is not the TV for you. I had actually wanted the LG Stanbyme tv since it is touchscreen and voice activated but it costed a lot more coins so went with this. My favorite thing is that I can screen mirror, my iPhone, and iPad. No special app. Need it for screen sharing, really seamless and easy. I do want to get a monitor stand though to raise it up a little bit when I’m using my laptop. I haven’t tried mounting it but it looks like it could work to be mounted so I’m thinking about a desk mount. Sound quality is not that great. It definitely needs a speaker. I did use the Bluetooth feature to connect it to a Sony sound bar and that sounded wonderful. I’m gonna look for an LG sound bar or some other speaker that is white though to match the TV. Pretty tv and even with some of the drawbacks I do love it.

Although this should be more along the $130-160 price range, at $200 + tax you’re slighlty overpaying for a full HD (non-4K) TV that has been constructed well for countertop viewing and Airplay mirroring/additional monitor for your Apple device with good to above average sound quality. Happy with my purchase... just wish this was about $50 less for what you’re getting quality-wise.

This TV met all of the criteria I was looking for as an option for my office. The table top design didn't require stand legs that typically take up unnecessary space. Big plus for areas where space is limited. The set up was pretty easy. However, I consider myself to be technically proficient and I could see how the degree of difficulty might be higher for some, but I would say from out of the box to watching TV, should be no more than 30 or 45 minutes. The picture quality is good for a TV this size and price. Good viewing angles, plenty bright, and if you can nail down the settings, can get some pretty good color accuracy, contrast, etc. My most significant gripes are the limitations with the limited input/output options. Would have been nice to have an 3.5mm audio jack output for an external speaker... due to my other gripe; the audio. Yes, it is a small TV, but there are some laptops with better audio output that this TV. That can be remedied with a soundbar but... in such a small space, that could be excessive. I use a bluetooth speaker occasionally for a a deeper, more rich sound, but the latency is enough to drive a person mad. Overall, it is a good TV for what I needed and would recommend to anyone looking to put a TV in a tight space like a kitchen, office, or even bathroom. It can even be used as a monitor for a PC. The WebOS can present a learning curve as well, especially if you are coming from a more widely used TV software platform. But, it's really easy to navigate and filled with a lot of useful applications. If WebOS isn't for you, use your go to streaming dongle and call it a day!

The sleek design sitting flush on the counter top is a plus. The picture is sharp and clear. I would like it better if when it is turned on with the DirecTV remote if it would go straight to DirecTV, but instead it goes to the web screen. I have to hit the home button on the tv remote to get to the regular tv or do a turn off/turn on for a second time. Maybe it's just me not setting the system up correctly. Overall, I like the tv and given its design and the lack of other choices, I would most likely purchase this again.

Love this little TV it looks amazing in my dressing room and works great! I love the white frame and small size

I needed a small tv and after some reaching we chose this one, looks so cool with the base attached all together on one piece little tv, great picture and sound and the web os of LG is very good, but a little slow though, overall we really enjoy it, great for an small room or office

Excellent design, modern, nice picture. However, the sound quality is worse than an old knock-off of a 1954 Western Electric earpiece. Highly recommend the unit but be ready to buy a sound bar to go with it.

Great little TV. We love that it's easy to pick up and move from kitchen to guest room when needed. Would like to have a voice option on the remote, and the sound could be better.
