We picked up this TV a few weeks ago and are completely impressed with it. The quality of the image is far better than any other TV I've seen..like of the course of my life. The OS could probably use a little more work in terms of usability, intuitiveness, etc. For example, while it has the basics apps, including Amazon, Netflix, Apple, etc., there are some of the less prominent ones that are not, including HBO GO, ATT WATCH TV, etc. Hopefully these will make their way over in time. There's also some bloatware in there too and there should be more options for further personalization of the menus. That said, it's a breeze to set up the TV for watching. We don't have cable service and are watching TV using a direct connection to the Internet and that's been perfectly fine for us. I wanted to see what it would be like to not have cable TV and so far so good. LG makes it easy to watch most of the major TV networks and of course, you can order other services to fill in the gaps.
We had our TV professionally installed. I hate seeing wires and the TV itself is super thin, similar to a wall painting. The physical / minimalistic appearance of the TV itself is beautiful.
Overall, and despite some really very minor shortcomings in the OS/interface, we couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. Also, the size of the TV is perfect. I thought it might be too big at 77" but it really isn't and I think we could go bigger now that I've had it. Nonetheless, the whole family is happy with the TV...even my daughter who isn't too much into watching TV.
Finally, a shout out to Beach Camera that sold us the TV. I was nervous placing such a large (yes, large TV!) and expensive order online but they made it work out perfectly. TV arrived in perfect condition ready for watching.
A tip I'd offer though is that if you plan to get the TV professionally installed, try to time scheduling of the installation with the arrival of the TV. I had my TV siting for 2 days in our living room and it was hard to just have it siting there, knowing what I was missing out on! Also, the TV comes with its own mount and I understand this is the preferable mount to use if you want the TV to line up without gaps against the wall.
