Excellent 'Smart' TV
on March 2, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After months of research, we finally decided to purchase our LG 49UF7600 4K Smart TV in late Jan '16 and have been quite satisfied with most of its features. The 'IPS' screen makes it possible to view the picture from fairly 'sharp angels' without losing 'picture quality'.
I especially like the 'Smart TV Web OS 2.0' capability and being able to go directly to Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc... where I can view hundreds of videos, most often 'music videos'.
Our Comcast 'high speed' broadband service(50+Mbps) eliminates 'buffering delays' and makes watching any video via Wi-Fi truly a great pleasure.
Even the 'Magic Remote' voice recognition feature seems to work quite well, except when using 'over the air antenna' and trying to direct TV to various channels needing 'dashes' as part of the 'number sequence', such as 2-10, 5-2, 7-1, etc...; the TV generally only goes to the main # 2, 5, 7, etc... However, when using 'voice commands' to search for desired YouTube videos or performers, it works great and much more convenient than typing the info into the 'search window'.
Viewing YouTube 4K videos is truly a 'pleasure' due to 'clarity/color' of picture, which are 'fantastic'. We haven't yet watched any 4K movies, but look forward to doing so.
The only 'negatives' so far have been the need to 'manually customize' the backlight, brightness, contrast, color, and other picture settings for each of the so-called 'special' Sports, Standard, Game, Movie, Vivid, and other picture viewing categories, as well as the 'dash' voice recognition problem noted above. We've found even after manually selecting the previously mentioned settings, the best picture viewing category for general viewing is 'APS', rather then 'Standard' which we would have expected to be the 'preferred normal viewing' selection.
We do wish LG engineers had designed a better 'pedestal' to allow placement of TV on 'narrower' entertainment centers. Since we live in an area which is prone to occasional earthquakes and the 'legs' of the TV barely fit on top of the cabinet, we always worry it could easily be knocked over.

Horrible product

from Anaconda, MT, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this TV on finance and within just a year after I bought it and a month after the warranty went out, the whole thing crapped out. The screen stopped working and I continued to pay for something that I barely got to use. Will never go to LG again
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

MY LG

I like the tv, but don't like the way screen is not full when using the HDMI. If I go to live, then it fills the whole screen. Other than that, the picture is clear, the color is crisp, and the sound is great. Good TV.
Pros: Quality, Features/Settings, Performance
I would recommend this to a friend!
