Since I had a very large space to fill, and my eyes are getting old, I replaced my 50" Plasma Screen Television with this 82" LG 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV.
The initial set-up was easy - It connected instantly to my wireless network and all my devices (wired AND wireless). It was very easy to wall mount as well; it took two of us, but was easy since I had wall mounted a previous television in the past - this one was just a bit heavy, but following the instructions and understanding the physics behind it were a plus. It took only 15 minutes to set up and wall mount!
It is hard to tell from the photo, but the television is 73" wide and 42" tall. ...
From floor to top of TV is 79"!!
The Television is an EXCELLENT addition to my home.
All of my devices are easily controlled through the ARC/HDMI connection and the one LG "Magic" Remote. No need for multiple remotes any more. ... Obviously, my game consoles still requite their individual controllers for game play. Other than that, one remote controls them all.
The only aspect I'm not happy with is the viewing angle ... At about 30°, the picture dims and looses some of the color and quite a lot of contrast. This isn't a big problem since I don't have any seating at that angle. I can only view the TV from less than 30° only when I enter the room from the right-side landing.
After reading the reviews before purchase; some people complained about the contrast ratio. This is NOT a problem if you access the television's settings and bump it down a bit. The automatic settings are for quick/easy adjustment, but can be fine tuned. Users have to realize: broadcast, cable, satellite, and streaming services are not consistent with picture quality and audio duplication. Adjustments need to be made on occasion. It helps if you have an ARC complaint amplifier which automatically adjusts to the originating source.
All-in-all ... AWESOME picture quality and easy to switch from device to device without having to be smarter than a fifth-grader (and READING the instruction manual that comes with the "Magic" Remote).
Great TV. Great Price.
Perfect for what I purchased it for.
