Amazon.com: Customer reviews: LG Electronics 65UJ7700 65-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model)

Great Picture

Although the image did not seem great when powering on the TV for the first time, after removing the power saving feature the image came alive. You definitely need to disable this feature in order to get a great image. After tweaking the color settings I watched Wonder Women in 4k and I was impressed. You also need to make sure to enable 4k features on the hdmi port you will be using to play movies. A few months into the use, and I have had zero issues. I will try to update after a year of use.

Pros
-Great sound for TV speakers
-Great image
-Great Build Quality
-Controler has a dedicated Netflix and Amazon button

Cons
-WiFi drops connection (No other device in my home has this issue) So if you plan to use the smart features I recommend you hardwire the TV to your network.
-Need to remove power saving to improve image quality

The best sub $1000 TV on the market.

Don't let the price fool you, the picture quality and software are top notch. I am wonderfully surprised at how well the WebOS 3.5 with the Magic Remote preforms. Don't let the prior negative reviews discourage as the learning curve might be a bit high it is worth every learning minute once you have it down. I do have a few cons with the remote. First and foremost it is nearly impossible to purchase a backup. They need to ship some to the US for the purchase, as the 2016 models are not the same, Only the AN-MR650A LG Magic remote is compatible and only one place to find it and it isn't cheap.

While TV's have come along way with their web platforms they still have a long way to go. I would love to see the LG content store offer an app that works with the Spectrum/TWC streaming service. I don't want to have to mirror a PC or mobile phone to access my channels. But all in all this web platform is the best out of all the HDTV's I have owned and reviewed.

The picture is superb when you're streaming in HDR. I would like a better picture using the user custom set up when connecting with an HDTV antennae or a streaming box. None of the pre-installed presets give the best brightness and/or contrast. I have tried the CR recommendation using the Expert Mode in dark room without much success. Perhaps I have yet to dial this in but after seeing the HDR picture I doubt the black levels will ever truly be excellent.

While this model, the 65UJ7700 is an upgrade from the Vizios, Samsungs, SONY, TLC, Sharp, et all in this price range, this units picture won't compare to the OLED's or the Samsung QLED line and SONY X900's full backlit display. Even the Vizio's M class picture performed better under the harsh lighting at Best Buy (however the service history and no digital tuner are major flaws), this was and is the best choice in the sub $1000 price point out there as of Dec 2017.

I am now waiting a few years until the OLED's come down in price to get the screen I really want. But until that happens you cannot go wrong with this fine product from LG.

Good solid 4K TV for the money

Good quality TV. as the cnet review says, it will get the job done, and for 98 percent of people will be a great viewing experience. The picture is sharp, its 4K. the color is great, don't get too caught up in the hard core technical reviews about color space etc... you won't notice this stuff unless your a techno geek doing side by side comparisons. I am a professional cinematographer who actually shoots some of the 4K content for amazon and netflix. I think this set looks great.

here is the negative about this TV. it does have a really weak (unusable) local dimming feature, and if you are into watching very dark content (aka features or high end TV) it will start to bump up against its contrast limitations. Again, this won't be noticed by many people. but it will get a little blue/ washed out in very dark scenes, if you are watching in a dark room.

so summary - its will look stunning 98 percent of the time to 98 percent of people. for Chris Nolan its prob not gonna cut it. he would buy the 4K OLED for a couple grand more.

If you are looking for a quality TV this not the answer, but if you are looking for a full featured budget friendly options... well this is still not the answer. However, if you are looking for a way to just lose or throw away $1,000.00 easy, this is the TV for you!

I did my research and I found the range of features to be sufficient, along with the lower price point it made this an easy pick! ...but as it turns out none of that matters when every feature slowly breaks over the course of a year and you have to buy a new TV the second year you have it.

For those of you wondering what to do, Samsung then Sony in that order last I checked. Samsung has been the top quality brand for many years, so it still may be. Sony was a close second. I have a Sony TV with my Playstation and it still works great; I bought the Sony TV 4-5 years before I bought this LG (decoy) TV.

LG: disposable TVs you think you can afford!

65UJ7700 Bright and vivid color. Speakers are decent.

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018

This TV was delivered to me yesterday. The image is bright (with power saving mode turned off and Expert Picture - Bright Room selected) and the colors are vivid. I’m using the Comcast Cisco X1 receiver and 2nd gen Apple TV with it. Although I don’t have any 4K Input for it yet, HD videos look fantastic on it. This TV can be remotely controlled using the LG TV Plys iOS app.

The TV’s Amazon Video and YouTube apps are fine. The Netflix app would not let me login to my betflix account. I wasn’t motivated to call Netflix customer service so I ended up using Netflix on the Apple TV.

My old TV was a 55” Samsung Plasma TV from 2013. This TV has been an excellent upgrade. I’m considering getting the 55” version for my Sony PS4 and Nintendo Switch. I don’t have a PS4 Pro yet. The speakers are 20W but they are adequate for my casual viewing needs. This TV is in our dining room/living room.

Had to return because could see horizontal lines on the image during lighter scenes. Another review also mentions this problem. 4K content looked great, but was never able to configure the picture to display regular HD content in a pleasing way.

Good set but lack sound and connectivity

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2018

I would have given this a 3.5 if there was a place. The picture quality is decent for a 4K but the dark to light contrast is very poor due to the zone styled backlighting, this is very obvious. Dark scenes are very hard to view. The sound is passable at bests and needs to turned up very high to hear all of the dialog but then is to loud for background music, etc. It drops my blu-ray player's connection while using it for Netflix and wants to force you to use the build in apps. Would rather have my 55" Panasonic Plasma back even though is was 10 years old but still was twice the tv. Good luck to LG in further development of there 4K tvs. This was a good starting point.

Mixed Feelings

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017

I have mixed feelings about this TV. I bought the 65" model, which is a big size upgrade over the very heavy 10-year old 50" plasma it replaced. I was initially very disappointed in the picture quality of this TV and regretted taking down my old plasma. After tinkering with every picture adjustment I could find, I finally discovered the "Energy Saver" feature, which was in the "On" position. When I turned it off, the picture brightened up tremendously!! Why they have that thing activated as a default, I have no idea (perhaps to be able to include the estimated energy usage sticker that was on the screen when it arrived).

With the picture issue resolved, I've now started trying some of the "Smart" features. Here is where I'm knocking a star off of this TV. The TV doesn't seem to do well with my wireless Internet connection. It connects...sometimes, but it never stays connected. I've only gotten 5 minutes into a Netflix show before the dreaded revolving arrow of death appears as it rebuffers. I actually haven't been able to hold a connection long enough to download the Amazon app, either. I can live with this since I have a PlayStation 3 connected to the TV and it has a rock solid wireless connection, but it would be nice if the "Smart" features worked. To LG's credit, they do recommend a wired connection, and that would likely provide better access to the TV's "Smart" features. In my case, I'd rather not run a wire through the length of my crawl space and then open up my wall again just to access those features. I'll keep using the PlayStation instead.

On the plus side, I like the Magic Remote that comes with the TV. It's kind of cool to have a mouse-like pointer on the screen to select whatever it is you want selected. That's especially nice for those of us who need reading glasses to see the tiny buttons on the remote. Just use it as a giant mouse and work off the giant screen.

One final comment about the advertisements that are included with this TV. I've read some reviews where people complain about these ads. I haven't had any ads because during the initial setup, the TV asks you if you want to turn the ads on or off. Just tell it you want the ads off and you won't get any of them. When the question came up, I actually wondered why anyone would ever keep the ads on. Still not sure about that.

Marvelous Tv

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2018

I purchased this Tv on 2/28/18 I’ve always loved Lg TVs and recently decided that the 47in wasn’t gonna cut it in the new house. So I decided to go for the win and purchase a 65in and WOW that’s all I can say it’s huge. I purchased a table top stand to mount up off my original stand as it would not fit and tho I had to do some minor work to accommodate it everything turned out great. I also paired it with the Bose Solo 15 and it’s a dream set up.

Only thing I have to be upset about is the delivery service who brought the tv. The company was Pilot Freight Services. The actually delivery part was excellent and on time even tho the reviews on the company were horrible. After reading reviews the day before delivery I was very worried and upset that a company with that many bad reviews would be allowed to work for Amazon but they do. As far as delivery it was great up until they wouldn’t power on tv due to weather which I find odd because the tv was in a passenger Van with the heat on. The tv was outside for less than 30 seconds so I don’t understand where the temperate control thing is a big deal. Also they had no tools to put it on the legs provided with tv and after removing it from the package they proceeded to tell me they were gonna act as if they never opened the box so if it was broke or not powering on they couldn’t be held reliable which I find shady and irritating had it not worked they would have been long gone. But it’s here and working so I won’t complain anymore

The Tv itself is awesome and I gave it all 5 stars
Pilot Freight Services is a big No Stars

Hope this helps I’ll give another update next month

Update it’s 5/3/18 and the tv is still worth every penny spent. The fact that you can buy a tv of this size and quality for this is unreal. I enjoy the picture when I’m gaming or just watching a movie
