Nice TV, reasonably capable DLNA implementation,
I’ve had this TV for a few weeks and am pleased with it. The picture is sharp and overcomes the ambient light issues we have in the family room where it is installed. While I have it hooked directly to my media server PC (running TwonkyMedia Manager) via HDMI cable, the DLNA implementation (plugged into my wired 1GB Ethernet network) is nice and actually easier to use than the 1920x1080p PC-mode display. My only gripe is the separation of digital and analog TV stations into separate groups. Rather than interleaving the digital and analog stations into a single sequence, you either have to cycle through all of one group before getting to the next or you have to specifically select a channel from either group (not all that difficult) to allow you to cycle through that group. My Samsung and Sony Bravia TV’s behave in my preferred manner. The audio from the built-in speakers has been adequate for my needs. While I’ve played around with the free LG applications, I consider them a frill that isn’t worth my time. If NetFlix ever provides a reasonable selection of new movies, I might consider using that embedded application, but for now, the basic TV capabilities are sufficient. Overall, I’m quite pleased with my purchase.
Not everything we’d hoped for,
We’ve owned this TV for about 3 weeks, and here are our opinions…
Overall, this is a nice TV (the picture is great and the specs are impressive), but we are disappointed in a few features:
1. The previous review is correct: no HuluPlus. I too thought that LG Smart TV would have Hulu since I saw it advertised. However, after further research, I learned that Hulu is developing an app for LG TV’s which is expected to come out this fall (2011). Disappointing, but at least they weren’t completely lying.
2. The Wii-like remote is cool, but its response time isn’t nearly as good as a Wii. We’ve adjusted it to a faster level, but it’s not as smooth as Wii. Still cool though.
3. I expected the home screen to be more easily modified, but from what I can tell it’s not possible to customize it to the degree that I’d like. All you can do is select which apps show in two different boxes. Which leads me to our greatest disappointment…
4. The apps are pathetic. I was expecting more than a lame rendition of Sudoku, a few movie apps, and two major league sports channels. Hopefully there will be more weather/news/sports apps coming soon. Not to mention HULU!
The upside: If LG gets their act together with these apps, this could be a pretty nice TV.
My conclusion: I’m not sure we made the right decision purchasing this model before the technologies were perfected. Lesson learned.
(I know, I ended the title in a preposition…)
Tell me what you're thinking...
