Great laptop for the price
on September 29, 2011

from North Carolina
Bought this laptop for my high school daughter and she loves it. The 14-inch screen is a perfect size. Good battery life with the 6-cell battery. It does not get nearly as hot on the bottom as my other laptop (a Dell 15.6 inch model) does. Overall, a great basic laptop at a budget price!
What's great about it: Perfect size, great features, runs cool
What's not so great: Norhing so far
I would recommend this to a friend!

GOOD BASIC DVD PLAYER

Overall, this a pretty good upconverting DVD player. It has very good picture quality. I use it mainly to play back shows on DVD that I have recorded on my DVD recorder (at 480). The Sony then converts the output to 1080 for playback. This is a good quality DVD player for the price!
What's great about it: Easy setup, good picture quality
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

Experience lifelike images in your living room with this LG Smart LED TV. Built-in apps let you stream movies and television shows through your wireless home network, and the included remote lets you flip through channels from across the room. This 60-inch LG Smart LED TV supports Dolby surround for theater-quality audio.

Picture is just not very good!
By RCTarHeel
I am an electronics guy and I chose this model to replace an LG plasma that is starting to have some issues, but still has a great picture after I calibrated it. I was very disappointed in the picture quality on this set even after spending several hours calibrating it. The picture is just not very sharp or vibrant, appearing washed out. May be because of the cheaper IPS panel. I know this is a budget
model with lots of good features for the price, but the picture quality just isn't there on this model.

Update: Picture quality never quite satisfied
November 16, 2016
Update to my review: I really wanted to like this TV. It has plenty of features for the price, but the most important feature of any TV is the picture quality. And that is where this model falls short in my opinion. I realize that this is a budget model 4K TV, but after getting it home and setting it up, I could never get the picture quality to come close to ever matching that of my old LG 60-inch plasma. Even after all the calibration and adjustments, it still simply didn't look as sharp and vibrant as a 4K TV should. I really think the drawback is the use of a cheaper IPS panel in this model. Sadly, I did end up returning this set for a refund. Still looking...

Does this come with any Microsoft office?

Just trying to figure out if Microsoft Office such as word, excel, etc. comes pre loaded onto this computer?
No, Microsoft Office is NOT included with the unit. It only includes a trial version.
