LG 65" Class QNED80 series LED 4K UHD Smart webOS 23 w/ ThinQ AI TV - 65QNED80URA

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I help my husband unpack the TV and I was surprised that the Styrofoam protection panels also served as a stand for the TV to connect the feet and get the TV ready to go. Out of the box the picture and sound was significantly better then our previous TV. LG just keeps impressing. Once the firmware update finished it took the picture and sound to another level. I looked at the AI function and will hold off on turning those on until I can work through all the other functions. As a consumer, I would buy LG TV's again. In fact that is all we will being buying. Fortunately for my husband he agrees, LOL. We have not had a chance to mount it to the wall as the new floors and paint are taking a little longer then we thought.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try out this model from LG, considering the point of entry in the market, and the expectation of a crisp picture. It was easy and fast to unbox and set up, but that's where I started running into some unfortunate snags. First, I noticed that the picture had some definite ripples around the middle and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to look like waves for effect, or if it meant that there was some damage to the screen. Secondly, I had a couple of applications that were going to be very important to me, and I could not get them through the app search on the menu. Those apps were MLB TV and ESPN. Without those I am quite lost, especially in the late spring and early summer! The screen and sound is very appealing and I love how easily it connected to my network and optimized my sound. However, the little things are what go a long way with televisions these days and I'm not sure I'm blown away by this LG. For me, it will take watching live action sports and seeing that the refresh rate keeps up with the motion and the picture is crisp to be impressed. I am looking forward to more watching, and for now, this will go in the master bedroom where we won't use it as much as the living room TVs.
