Very easy to use interface

The interface is extremely easy to use. With the help of large colorful icons, it allows easy access to settings for picture, sound, tuner, various options, network functions, adjustment of Bluetooth and media player. Each TV input is clearly identified, so there is no room for mistakes. LG also provides a wizard that will guide the more hesitant users throughout the installation process and setting the device.

Test and review conclusions

The problem that a TV of this size poses is obviously the precision in rendering SD sources. There is not much to do there, except perhaps to take some distance with the camera. In HD, the picture is much more stable and thinner, the colors and the contrasts are stronger. This TV is considered a real movie screen and will be always associated with a Blu-ray system.

The positive points (pros)

- price, large screen, HD rendering quality, multimedia and control features, THX modes.

The negative points (cons)

- display of SD sources, display and HD upscaling of SD sources . .
