Hi,
I wanted to give me fast review. I purchased the this TV 2 days ago from BestBuy, with the 5 year warranty and they installed it today.
I am running an XBOX One X and a Pioneer Elite SC-LX904, with 4 full sized DT 9080 Towers with Atmos on Top, and DT 9080 Full (Large) Center, 2 Klipsch Reference Subs and 2 Klipsch Wide speakers (I meant to buy 6 DT 9080s.. but messed up so I am using the 2 Klipsch temp.
I stopped using the XBOX One X to stream stuff totally. The wife is so happy to be able to easily use one remote for everything. It also makes it easier on the receiver itself.
We LOVE this thing. Love the Apps, Love the picture, love the eArc feature with my eArc Receiver. Just plain cannot say enough positive things. We have allot of windows, so its bright during the day (Florida) and this TV rocks. We are now in a completely dark room watching movies (love it).
Frozen... sounds amazing. End Days Amazing. Upscaling on some of my content was great. The HDR Picture feature is nice, but again we are still trying to figure out a few things.
What I also love is even when only getting MC PCM 2.0, telling my receiver to do Extended Surrounded and all the speakers kicking stereo through-out my house.
We are still learning to play with the special features for the Picture, AI etc.
So yes we love it, what's the meh...
1. Whew the 2 guys who installed it only installed 1 other before.. Well 1 of the guys had, the other never.. So they were freaked about dropping it lol but they didn't.
2. The remote doesn't have an Info button on it. .YES that is a big deal when your trying to debug an issue with your audio and you cannot tell what the TV is getting. It only works if you use the LG App and then only on the Netflix App...
That being said, to us those are minor
Oh just a couple things.
1. We have our hard wired to the router (works great)
2. Personally we love the magic remote, but sometimes the pointer goes away for no reason
3. It is a bit hard to get cables plugged in after its hung, lol no one wants to touch it
4. Use a high end cable, even though it only supports 40gs atm, its still amazing
5. The Apps are wonderful. We have used Hulu/Netflix/Disney+/Prime Video so far and again, love it. So much nicer than having to use my XBOX One X for all of it, which was a big change for me
6. Sometimes you use the pointer and enter/click, other times you have to use the Circle Click, Enter/click. It just depends on the app but just fyi
7. Love the screen saver / frame / wallpaper features
8. Make sure to set the eArc and HDMI for Arc (sound out) if you are using Arc or eArc enabled receiver
One other thing we did. Since the Pioneer has 3 programmable pre-sets with everything we have
1) for Atmos enables stuff (which also works for 5.1/7.1
2) one for extended stereo/other for PCM 2.0 or other weak signals and
3) one for music
This just makes it all super nice
Yes... this TV is better than the C and last years... I spent allot of time researching and watching them lol. Then finally was able to have some appointments at BestBuy where they were side by side and compare streaming etc.
I actually had a chance to buy it cheaper through LG with my discount, but I bought it through BestBuy because a) LG was out and b) I wanted the BestBuy warranty with Burn in covered
Thanks all!! and Enjoy your TVs!!
