This TV is amazing. I've had other brands and even now have a nice more expensive SONY 65" in another room but this is honestly the better TV. The picture quality is amazing and the features are great and easy to use. The magic remote alone makes this TV a great deal.

I was in the market to buy a TV for some time to upgrade my 50in and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I did my research and made sure to buy one that had HDR as that's where the new technology is going as well as 240 motion rate which is really 120 because 240 doesn't exist yet.
I could not see any motion blur at all and when paired with a 4K Blu-ray player you're going to feel like you opened up your window and took a peek outside. This TV also has a really nice remote which is a bonus for me since I didn't know it has the ability to act as a pointer as well as it a voice search.
The BestBuy staff were helpful & it's the reason I keep going back for more of my tech there. On a large purchase like this I would advise signing up for the Best Buy card and rake up the points

Man I shopped a lot for my forte 4k TV and this is the one I landed on. There were a lot of great options out there and honestly I'm sure this one is on line with a lot of others. I bought it right before Black Friday because they had a good sale on it and I'm very pleased. The big thing i needed was a base that was not connected to the very edges of the screen since the stand I have it on is a little smaller. This stand worked out perfect. It has plenty of HDMI ports and that is super important. I dont get many 4k channels but man when you watch something in 4k it's amazing. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Premium 4K TV for a budget price

I bought this LG TV on sale during Black Friday for under $900 and it’s worth every penny. I use this TV in my bedroom with Spectrum cable, the Apple TV 4K, and the Roku Ultra to watch movies and sports and the picture looks great with every format...including cable even though cable maxes out at 1080i. LG and Samsung make the best TV’s but LG streams in Dolby Vision which is a higher quality than HDR. I’ll list pros and cons to provide a fair and balanced review.
Pros:
-Streams in HDR or Dolby Vision. That’s a feature Samsung TV’s can’t match.
- Audio streams in Dolby Atmos. When you connect a soundbar you are getting the highest quality audio to go along with streaming in the highest quality video settings.
- Web Os runs smooth and the TV apps like Netflix and YouTube run smooth without any issues. A software update took less than one minute.
- This TV checks every box. LG makes the best TV’s, the picture quality is great, the audio quality is great, it’s under $1,000, and you can stream content or play video games on the highest settings.
Cons:
- Out of the box you won’t get the best possible picture and there is lots of fine tuning and adjustments needed. I had my TV delivered at setup by the Geek Squad. To get the Apple TV and Roku to stream on the highest settings it took some fine tuning that most people won’t do setting up their own TV. Be sure to check the HDMI settings because by default the 4K HDR needs to be adjusted for some reason.
- LG has Dolby Vision and that’s something Samsung doesn’t offer but Samsung 4K TV’s have gaming mode to reduce motion blur and LG TV’s don’t have that feature. Something to think about if you are a heavy gamer.
Bottom line...this is a 5 star TV once it’s tuned and set up right. LG has earned their reputation for making the best TV’s because the picture quality, image details, and natural colors are top of the line. I’d highly recommend this TV to family and friends with no hesitation.

Big screen, tiny bezels!

This TV fits perfectly for my living room setup, the ultra-thin bezels make the set disappear into the background bringing a better focus on what's on the screen instead of what's around the screen. Sharp, clear, accurate picture with deep blacks that will leave you impressed! The smart features are easy to set up and use, the included remote works as a cursor on the screen for point and click functionality. One of the easiest TVs to set up and use I've ever experienced! The base can be a hassle if you don't have room to lay the set down but, if you can, move some furniture before opening to box to leave plenty of work room. Overall, fantastic set for sports and movies! Highly recommended!

Out of the gate the tv is packed with features from Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision HDR, HDR 10 ,4 hdmi, 3 usb, Bluetooth,WiFi, web browser, Amazon Alexa compatible and Google Assistant and on and on. I mean for this price point it definitely isn’t missing any features.
Starting with sound, depending on what you’re watching and the profile you’re using, it sounds like you’re using a sound bar and not the tv. It really is that good, especially being from a tv with built in speakers and not a separate set.
The voice assistant feature for the the remote is nice , though I really don’t use it much it works good. I used to not be a fan of the LG magic remote, but really do like this one a lot.
Picture quality is truly breathtaking when you watch something in 4K or even when it’s not in 4K. I have an Xbox one x and games are just crazy, Forza literally feels like you’re in it the picture is that good.
You can spend less and you can spend more and step up to oled, but this tv is in the sweet spot to me. It’s packed with features, thin and has a picture quality that is incredible for a price that doesn’t break the bank. If I could give it six stars I would, I truly don’t think you can go wrong with this tv no matter what you’ll be using it for. I absolutely love mine!

This is a review after 5 years of owning this TV, yes, 5 years ago in May 2018 I bought this TV from Best Buy.
I still have it and it still runs fine, actually, it runs better than most TV i've bought and returned in the last month.
Yes, it's 5 years old but no panel issues, no audio issue, some network issues but overall, it still runs. The magic remote is 1000x better than the new design, buttons are bigger, Play/Pause button, Guide button and overall feel is better. The new one is HORRIBLE, i had to return the C2 partly due to the remote control design.
I would really like for this TV to get an upgraded mainboard that supports faster WiFi speeds and connectivity and the WebOS could also be upgraded to a newer design.
I had 3 other LG TVs but they ended up in the swimming pool because they stopped connecting to my Xfinity WiFi completely, very sad thing.. This one still connects after 20-30 seconds but drops connection randomly. Yes, my WiFi signal is strong at 416Mbps.
TV doesn't run hotter than the bedroom, unlike the TCL 55R655 that runs at 112 degrees, LG C2 at 92 degrees, Samsung Q80C at 120 degrees. It's probably due to it's rear metal back cover that helps heat escape rather than being trapped like the Samsung and turning the TV into a heater. Not a good thing for south Florida region..

I had a 4K Vizio, that was almost 3 years old. It got dark spots during a light or light solid screen. This TV does have a better picture and some fun functions with the Magic remote. The built in speakers sound great, but I have it going through an AV receiver. Setup was a snap, put it on vivid, crank the sharpness down to about 30, its about right for me. Good buy for under a grand!

Third is my 2nd LG TV and my 1st smart TV. I love the convenience of having apps right there on my TV without having to use another device. Picture is very good and when watching something in 4K I'm blown away. I can't comment on the sound as I don't use the TV's sound, I have it hooked up to my sound system. Set up was a breeze. To get the picture to not be dark I needed to go into settings, then picture then turn off the energy saving mode. Only thing I wasn't impressed with was the stand as it seems a little wobbly, not able to tighten screws completely but it's sitting just fine. I really like the remote and how it has a pointer on screen. I like how I can use my Alexa to turn off the tv, I just wish I could use it to turn it on.

I wanted to retire my Samsung 58" Plasma TV and i went and bought a Samsung MU6290 65" TV.. You can read my review on that on its product page.
So i looked at SONY since many said "it's top notch!".. After looking at posted images of what happens to it at random, i decided to delete the 'SONY' memory cells from my brain for good and paid extra $400 for this.
I'm not into 'great TV' or 'WOW, it's huge!', i'm into the finer details and this LG TV, has more than enough.
The picture is smooth and realistic with colors that are colors and not pastel paintings, the sound is great for itself as basic; obviously a sound system is required for this quality TV to have good Sound-to-Image ratio, the menus are simple, fast and very easy, the TV doesnt lag anywhere so far, it's a very good TV!
And the best part is, my kids love the Magic remote control, it's like Nintendo Wii.. No need for wireless mouse or keyboard because the remote control is a cursor with a microphone built into it so you can talk to Google Assistant right from your couch!

I didnt know much about Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision and upon watching a few Netflix shows that offers it, I have to say the TV is well worth it. I got it on Black Friday so thats why I feel it was well worth it. Keep in mind there are not that much content that offers Dolby Atmos and Vision (Netlfix has several). Picture quality is good and the remote is great because it also has a cursor and you can move it around like a mouse which makes it easier. The only reason I didnt give it a 5 star is because of the stand, its the U shaped stand which makes is flimsy instead of the 2 leg stands which I feel is more sturdy, I dont plan on mounting it so thats why the stand bothers me, if you plan on mounting it then it will not matter.

Pros:
* Stylish, elegant design
* Great sound
* Beautiful picture
* The remote works well with Netflix and Amazon Prime
Cons (nothing too bad just a few nitpicky things):
* Had to spend a little time to uncover how to remove the "soap opera" effect that its default settings feature
* The edge light dimming effect is definitely noticeable on black screens with a small white/bright item in the middle (like a credit). Generally not noticeable though
* Magic remote can be a bit strange at times and tricky to accurately point and click on things
