The device is externally something cheap. Much plastic. The Stand looks shaky, but does the job. Tilt and rotation is not possible.
Connections with 3x HDMI and 3 USB ports are sufficient. 1 LAN port. DVB-T, -C and S2 tuner available. Optical audio (good!). In addition, a component input (RGB / YUC) is available.
There is only one central switch center below the screen. In addition to the on / off function, it is designed as a four-way button to reach the menus.
The remote control Magic Remote with motion sensor is very annoying. By gently shaking a mouse is activated on the screen. Depending on which menu you want to have, you have to (right) and (left) and go with the scroll button (press) the pointer to a screen at the top Enable). Which menu you get caught, is almost a matter of luck, because the motion sensor is even "fidgety" to and sometimes too slow.
You also have to know where what menu is. So first learn by heart. Because intuitive is not the whole.
If you want to switch a transmitter (eg from duct 2 to 47) can be either long + -Press until a thumb hurts, or roll the scroll wheel until you have the transmitter, or on the menu over a window viewing virtual keyboard, press the numbers (so you because this keyboard on the screen using the menu takes).
In addition, the remote control loses frequently the connection. Then they have to "reset" and wait for them to re-establish a connection.
For the Magic Remote should crucify the developer. Dear normal or advanced remote control. However, the missing included.
The television has Smart TV. Once well, Amazon Prime is coming to him. Good as well. Skype is also going More about this later.
You can connect it via LAN cable or wireless (Wi-Fi is built-in).
The decor is simple, he finds the hotspots well. But the Verbndung is lame and fragile.
At about 8m distance he has taken more than 3 hours to record a firmware update (578Mb). In the beginning he reports, it would take 19 minutes, but three hours? He also has 4 times the connection is lost. A 10m from Hotspot remote host has no problems with the Wi-Fi. And my smartphones and tablets do not. It lies on TV.
Prime Video is almost not at all. 60 sec., And it has lost the connection. About the computer goes ...
So if a network, then only via LAN cable.
Appliances and Tuning. The decor was just about the on / off / control button on the TV. He just did not find the Magic Remote. Only after the device the connection is established according to a residue.
The station table is created automatically, but according to the ideas of the TV. I can not soriteren far. RTL2 (not HD) is number 1209 wenigstes the first HD to one and ZDF HD on the 2nd place.
But the operation with the Magic Remote is a nightmare.
You can not download via stick and sort on the computer the channel list. There is also the TV no reasonable surface thereof. Represented even in glaring black / white. A plasma is quickly burning as a thing.
Apps. Yes he has. Also, a camera is supported. But on-VC 400 or 500. They are not there. List price for the 2Mpixel 120 Euro. Are you crazy? Other cameras are not supported. My MS-Full-HD with Zeiss optics cost only 70, but is not supported.
If you have the AN-VC, supposedly there also video telephony (does not work well with the abysmal WLAN) and gesture control.
USB:
2.5 "inch panels can be read via USB, images and movies are displayed könenn and played different codecs are detected. That's very good.
But an external keyboard (Logitech K400R, the best for such things) only partially. Mouse pad and control buttons go, but you can enter any letter. Especially for the built-in TV browser a disaster, because then you have the Magic Remote on-screen keyboard individually seek the letters and choose. That's very bad.
On my Panasonic will super recognized the LG it works only partly.
Now you should the LG developers not only crucified, but also quartered.
For image.
The black level is slightly better than LED / LCDs, but a lot worse than with my Panasonic.
The colors are strong, with moving pictures in HD there no streaks (good for sports, but since there's additionally a more brilliant sport mode).
In SD into perspective the. Small structures seem artificial in motion picture verwäscht something with too little Stukturen. But still much better than current LED / LCD. IN SD are gradients and hems recognizable.
In HD, the image is good (even in HIFI forum for the best settings Search).
In 3D, I have had no ghosting, but have the Panasonic glasses used by my GTW, the LG no glasses are.
Caution: Einbrandgefahr! Already at about 3 min setup screen I could see the afterglow pictured hand symbol for a short time. 30 sec should be normal. But a sign that this Panel is probably at risk. After a few minutes normal operation it disappeared again.
The biggest quirk is loud HIFI forum called the "Rising Blacks". After 500 hours of operation of the TV set (assigned) to increase the brightness, so from the black one is gray. Is supposed to compensate for burning, but spoils the image. Then you can get a better LCD / LED is identical. The process is irreversible and not also regulate the Brightness control. Brightness completely gone, under the screen is gray and not black then!
The whole has been programmed by LG conscious in the firmware, and there is as yet no way to escape. The greatest advantage of plasma is gone with it.
After crucified, quartered I could be for the subsequent drowning and burning the developer.
In a word: Dissatisfied.
If you want to buy the part, then only under the conditions. It disturbs not after 500 hours on "gray value".
One should buy the normal remote control to do so. Network Connection only via LAN cable. Buy overpriced camera to (optional).
Then there is a TV at a good price (above all for 60 ").
