Great TV, PS5, Xbox Series X Ready
on October 13, 2020
Posted by: Chris94
Verified Purchase:Yes
I already had a pretty good tv, a 2018 vizio v series 4k, but I wanted a tv that was next gen gaming ready, and this fit the bill.
Its crazy to me that's there's no information or advertising of this TV having HDMI 2.1 ports, not on here, or LG website, but it has 2. If you don't know what the HDMI 2.1 ports are, they are needed to play games at 4k at 120Frames Per Second. I did a lot of research before buying this TV, and to my knowledge, this is the cheapest TV that has 2.1 Ports(most tvs average at $1k).
Now to the TV, I think its fantastic. Like I mentioned, I already had a pretty solid Tv to begin with, and this is noticeably better in picture quality. The picture is very crisp, and clean. Colors are super vibrant and look authentic.
I play games on Ps4 currently, and the gameplay is great. Just set the picture to game mode, and the TV will automatically register that you're playing a console and put on Game Response Mode.
I can't comment on the sound quality, as I use a sound bar.
My other favorite things besides the picture are the remote, and Alexa/Google enabled.
The remote is just magical. Its like a magic wand, you just point at the screen and the arrow follows. No need to scroll to pick what show you want, just point and click.
The remote also has built in Alexa and Google Assistant. Just hold down the prime video button for Alexa, or the mic button for google, and you can ask it anything a normal Assistant would do, as well as find shows/movies to watch.
Overall I think its a great Tv.
It has a ton of great options. It has a bunch of built in Apps, like Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Prime Video, Peacock, Apple TV, and whatever apps it doesn't have, just download them on your phone and you can stream it to the Tv.
Theres also a catalog of Free Live TV for anyone considering cord cutting.
FYI, my Local bestbuy had this exact model on display at my store, so I was able to check it out before purchasing as well.

Its a fine headset, nothing really special. Got it for my GF, as she's just a mild gamer and doesn't need a top notch headset.
Sound quality is fine, nothing spectacular. I have a Hyper X headset and I can tell the difference in sound quality instantly.
Overall its good, but not for serious gamers.

Excellent TV, Gamers Dream.
By Trip
I bought this fantastic TV a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to understand all the features before posting a review. On 7/22/20 the latest update from LG installed which enables AMD freesync on all 4 HDMI ports. After the update I had to cycle power on the LG and then my GPU in my computer, a 5700xt recognized that it was hooked to a freesync capable device. I have been using this TV hard for the last few weeks. I have found that you must have HDR deep color enabled to unlock the high 120hz refresh rates in 1440p or 2160p (2k,4k). The TV recognizes when you launch a game, an instant game mode intialized message appears for a few seconds. This puts the TV in it's lowest latency mode. And will use the Game mode picture as a default. I think the Game Mode picture is to dark, and have been using standard or sports, they both really pop playing games, and can't yet decide which looks best. As far as the TV itself, it is a fantastic TV in the price bracket. No it is not an OLED so I will not even compare black levels. it is a edge lit LCD, and you will see some bleed in dark scenes. Where it excels, is that it supports 120 hz even on 4k, it also supports variable refresh rate and AMD freesync is now here! This means you get a great looking TV, but when it is time to game, look out! it also has 2 HDMI 2.1 jacks so a bit of future proof in that regard. I am thrilled with my purchase! This TV is worth every penny! Silky smooth and no jitters or screen tears. It also has super low latency so this is one of the few LCD TV's that can be called a gaming TV, like 6ms lag in 1440p. The regular picture on the TV is outstanding, colors look great, and if I was looking to buy the upcoming PS5 or new Xbox, I would give this TV a hard look as both those units will have AMD GPUs and will support this TV. If you game first and watch TV second you will not be disappointed!

Just an FYI, game mode is recommended because it reduces input lag vs the other picture settings. Highly recommend it vs the others, and just tweeking the brightness settings around.

Below Average Desktop, not for gaming like it says
By Disappointment
There are so many problems I faced during the first month of owning this PC. I can't write all but here are few important issues.
Problem 1: There is a sleeping issue with this. If you put the computer to sleep it will wake up in the middle of the night randomly. I still see the issue today, only way to solve it is enable hibernation mode.
Problem 2: The CPU will over heat even with very low end games such as League of Legend, CS:Go or World of tanks(need to play in low settings but what's the point of a 6600XT if need to play in low settings). I checked the temps while playing the game. My average was 170F, which is extremely high, putting the fan in turbo mode won't help either. Soltuion: Change the CPU Cooler, I used the "AIO Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L" which is very helpful, bring down the temp about 30F-35F.
Problem 3: There is something wrong with the network card, the internet will suddenly slow down and you will need to reboot few time to get it back up. I check on my other devices all worked fine. Solution is to download the least driver manually from HP website, it won't pick up from any other way (Look for LAN driver).
Don't buy if it's not less then $1000($1350 at the time of writing). If you add all the other expenses it's not worth it. Unfortunately my 6 years old machine broken down right during the Graphics card crisis and it was on sale for $999 so I took the chance.

170 degrees isn't extremely high at all. Look up average AMD Ryzen CPU temps, they run hotter than other chips, 170 is considered average under heavy load.

Fight through seven distinct districts and decimate your opponents in a blaze of brute force using the Nanosuit's superior technology, or use stealth to achieve your goals and become humanity's silent savior. Equipped with your powerful and deadly new Predator Bow, there's no wrong way to save the world.

Does this have built in WiFi capabilities? And if not then could I plug in a WiFi adapter via USB?

FYI the wifi card is awful in this machine. I have 600mbps internet, and im only able to download at 8mbps on this machine when on wifi.
