5.0 out of 5 starsI love this TV
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024
I shopped around for a good while even going to the big box stores to compare various TVs on offer from the various makers and this model stood out after multiple visits and time spent researching options and price ranges and sizes. The picture quality always jumped out at me as the best out of all the wide options I encountered.
After pulling the trigger on this unit I am absolutely glad I choose this model. I wouldn't even say glad, more like thrilled. The quality of the picture is far beyond the best I've seen. We have a very nice high end TV at home already for comparison that's fairly new and at the top end. So I do have a comparison point. We just needed another set for another room in the place and it was time to buy.
I took some time in the settings to explore what everything could do, had a run with the 'AI' features of this set and did some manual adjustments to all the various things to get this working and displaying exactly how I want my picture to look and I was able to land exactly where I wanted in the sweet spot with very little stress at all. And the audio? The AI enhanced setting is just phenomenal. I didn't even bother putting in a sound bar even though I had one laying around. It's just so clear and crisp with nice deep lows that don't rattle but do rumble. This TV gets *loud* if you want it.
I also game on this now and it puts out a stunning 120hz at 4k that just absolutely sings to the eyes. Using my PS5 to feed the image, it's never looked better and I've been 4k gaming for a long time now. It's just never looked better. I am thoroughly impressed by LG after buying this, it was my first one from them and I'd be hard pressed to go with another make after this as I truly feel that I'm spoiled now by it. Nothing else looks as good to me.
Even watching older shows, this brings them to life in new ways and the fidelity is so ramped up by the on board features of this set that it makes watching literally anything a pleasure. I usually have no patience for kid's shows for example, but when the grandkids came to visit shortly after we got this, I was just as glued to watching them as they were. The colors, the fluidity of motion, the crisp detail...just pure eye candy. And for a visual device like this, that's the highest praise I can give it.
It's heavy in case you're wondering about that. Even at 48" I only felt secure moving this around the house with two grown people handling it carefully. It's got weight to it. In summary, this TV is not only the best TV I've ever owned, it's literally the best quality I've ever seen. Even among family and friends or display models in store. I feel like it's from the future or something, at least a couple years out compared to everything else.
I have no higher praise to give this than what I've said and it was nothing for me to say it. No exaggeration or imagination required this is just stream of thought and these are genuinely the things that came to mind when I felt it was time to review. I can't help but gush about this set, it deserves the praise. I feel my life itself would lose a little bit of color if I had to give this up, and it brings me actual mental comfort knowing I have this and can relax after a long day looking at it. It's one of those things where you're looking at it and often think and even remark things like "This looks better than real life huh?"
