Customer Reviews
So smart that it's 'almost' like an All-in-One PC rather than a HDTVTechie
Before I start, I apologize for the long review, but I was taking notes for weeks, and even if I left some stuff out, this writeup is more like a short story than a review. I hope some of you find it helpful. By now most of us are familiar with what a Smart LED TV is, so I won't repeat it, however, it's worth mentioning that the LG 60LB7100 comes with the newest IPS (In-plane switching) display technology, which essentially means that it displays a superior picture quality, in clear colors at a full HD 1080p resolution from all viewing angles. All of this while using 30% less of energy than a standard HDTV.Anybody who has a minimum of Cyber-life interaction heard the teasing `Upload pictures or it didn't happen' and it's how I feel at the moment of writing this review. There are so many who have had a bad experience with this same TV model, while I experienced exactly the opposite. The LG 60LB7100 I received worked greatly out of the box and after a few weeks of using it, I have nothing to complain about it.So, I'll be uploading more than a dozen of pictures to the product gallery of the LG 60LB7100, because a picture can tell a lot. I would like you to see this Smart TV performance, well, as good as it can be perceived through pictures. At least, the pictures will showcase how the different screens and how some features work. Also, the IPS feature is shown, because regardless from which angle I took the shot, it resulted in a clear image. My pictures aren't professional ones, or planned, I took them as I saw one thing that might be interesting to remark in this review or just to show a feature I found refreshing.Read more ›
Must be one of the lucky ones, so far.Edward
I purchased my TV from another vendor. At the time I was buying amazon was out of stock and my old 58" Samsung plasma was getting worse and worse.Before you read too far. I do not use the streaming services at this time, so I will not write anything about that. I did get them figuring at some time I might want to add them to my cable package. I also have a 7.1 surround sound systems so will be using that for audio.Unboxing TV. This was done by delivery service. They also plugged it in and checked that it turned on.I had help installing the TV to the wall. TV weighs only 48 lbs, but the size is still too big for one man installation.You will need to purchase M6 screws to mount your bracket. I had to run out and get these because the old Samsung plasma TV was 85 lbs. and used big screws maybe M8. The M6 screws cost a couple of bucks for 4 and I got hex heads. After mounting TV to the wall on to setup.Set up was very very easy although long. It also took a little time getting used to the magic remote. It works like a wireless mouse except it is used in the air. You need to shake it to wake it up if it goes into sleep mode.First thing you must do is pair the remote with TV then you can start programing TV setting. (HINT - I turned tv on and hit joystick to make remote show up on screen, just playing with remote out of box did nothing. Wasted over a minute on this one. I dont read instructs I fiddle first)The on screen prompts walked me through setting up my fios set up box. One programed it could work my fios box. All this turned out to be real easy. I don't like the energy saving feature at all. Turned on by default and after a few seconds the TV dims too dark for me. Turned this setting off and TV picture looks great.Read more ›
LG Wins Because of WebOS and Passive 3DR. Jones
I decided to purchase this television (65LB7100) for several reasons. This tv had most of the features that I wanted in my living room. The primary reason why I selected this tv was the passive 3D and WebOS. I honestly believe Samsung makes the highest quality tv, but they use active 3D technology. Also, the comparable Samsung 2014 model to this tv did not support wall mounting (VESA mount). I am not rating this tv 5-stars because the app market is still lacking when compared to Samsung's market. Also, I wish the dual-play feature supported two inputs at once.
New webos LG with Sonos PlaybarE. Theobald
I bought 4 new webos lg tvs (7100, 7200 and 6300). I've had no issues with screen quality as others have mentioned. The picture quality looks amazing, the 3D rivals theater 3D, the sound is very good and the streaming capabilities with tabs to hulu, netflix, amazon prime, vudu etc are awesome, provided that you hardwire the tv to your network. This TV is very easy to use to access content across a variety of sources.I experienced difficulty with one tv that is not hardwired. My network is a new business class router from Netgear with two APs. I get very good wifi in the house so I suspect the LG TV is not very good at wirelessly connecting to the network. UPDATE: I have just received updated software version 3.23 so I hope that wifi connection with the tv will be fixed. I will post after I test it over a few days.As for connecting the new LG tv universal magic remote with various devices, it is pretty easy and straightforward with one big exception: the LG TVS do not have a Sonos Playbar option but there is a workaround that I'll write below. The remote can be paired with Directv although the Directv remote is easier to use for satellite content only. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase as our system is easy to use, and looks / sounds fabulous.Pairing LG magic remote with Sonos Playbar:Select Philips remote type 3 in the device connector set up and then click done. Open Sonos app and go through steps to install remote by pressing volume +/-/mute on remote as instructed on sonos controller. Once done on sonos app, then click "no" when lg tv asks to reset av. The volume buttons on the magic remote should work but the mute button does not -- pressing this button will delete the playbar / remote programming. Hope that helps for people with new LGs and Playbars.
