Side by Side Comparison of: Samsung vs LG

Great picture. Arrived in good order. I had a bit of an ordering problem - mostly my fault - and could not retrieve the price I originally wanted. A few weeks later the price reset to nearly the one I was looking for so I grabbed it. My first HDTV and as a retired TV production engineer who has used $15,000 TV monitors (standard definition) I am blown away with the quality. It just fits the space I have available.

Really nice TV!High quality.Easy to install and use.I can play with my Xbox, watch Netflix and Youtube with an adaptor...Don't hesitate, really good product.

Great picture, good sound, light weight. This is a very nice TV that works right out of the box: nothing fancy-it just works. (I have the 48 inch version)If you buy google chromecast, this is like a smart TV, but better because you don't have to type with a remote control. Instead, you can control it with your ipad or other device.I used this wall mount system and it works well with this TV VideoSecu ML531BE TV Wall Mount for most 22"-55" LED LCD Plasma Flat Screen Monitor up to 88 lb VESA 400x400 with Full Motion Swivel Articulating 20 in Extension Arm, HDMI Cable & Bubble Level WP5

I have owned this TV for about 8 months now.Picture on this TV has been outstanding. I feed the picture and sound to my Yamaha receiver. As others have stated the sound on this TV is VERY poor. If you use a receiver this is not really a concern, you should just have your TV on mute.I use this TV for PS4 and have not been disappointed, the game play is incredible, no motion lag, Battlefield 4 looks amazing on this TV.This TV is also great watching NFL games, i never encountered motion blur, just an outstanding TV.If you do purchase this TV, be sure to update the firmware once you have it connected to your internet.Highly recommend!

We bought the 32" version of this TV to use as a display for computer presentations from a laptop. It's a basic 1080p set and does the job well when viewed from several feet away, though I wouldn't recommend it for up-close use as a primary monitor. Note that if you are using this TV with a computer, you'll require an HDMI connection as this TV does not have a VGA or DVI input.The default picture settings are terrible and will be awful to use for text. Follow these instructions for optimal display from a laptop or desktop computer:1. Ensure computer screen size is set to 1920 x 1080 pixels. (Right-click on desktop, select Screen Resolution.)2. Turn TV Sharpness all the way down. Using the remote, press: MENU -> Picture -> Sharpness : 03. Set TV display size to “Screen Fit” to ensure full 1920x1080 display with no cut-off: MENU -> Picture -> Picture Options -> Size -> Screen Fit Or: Press [PIC SIZE] button on remote until Screen Fit is displayed.You will also want to adjust the brightness/backlight/contrast settings to a more reasonable setting.A few other notes:The stand is composed of two plastic feet that screw into the bottom of the case on the far edges. You'll need a phillips screwdriver to attach the two machine screws to each foot.You can plug a USB drive into the port on the back and playback movies or display image slideshows. I haven't actually tested this feature myself yet.This is an extremely lightweight display. If you're putting it in a location that can get knocked over easily, you may wish to take steps to anchor it properly. That said, it's very easy to pick up this TV and move it around when you need to.The power cord is not a standard IEC C13/C14 commonly used by many TVs. This one uses a barrel connector with a transformer and a two-prong extension. Worth noting if you've got an in-wall installation because the included cord likely isn't long enough to snake through to a separate outlet.Link to user manual: [...]

I decided to leave a feedback just because of the negative reviews.I've been looking to buy a secondary tv/monitor to my computer. A friend of mine referred to me this Samsung UN32J5003AFXZA to which he uses with his computer as a monitor.With a normal common sense I have decided to do some research to make sure it meet my needs. So this is what I found:Warranty Terms - Parts 1 year limitedWarranty Terms - Labor 1 year limitedWidth 29.2 inchesColor Category Black3D Technology NoENERGY STAR Certified NoEstimated Annual Electricity Use 52 kilowatt hoursEstimated Annual Operating Cost 6 United States dollarsMedia Card Slot NoSpeakers 2 DTS Premium Sound 5WNumber Of Component Video Inputs 1Number Of Composite Video Inputs 1Number Of HDMI Inputs 2Number Of USB Port(s) 1PC Input NoVertical Resolution 1080pHorizontal Resolution 1920pScreen Size 31.5 inchesDisplay Type LEDVideo Input(s) HDMI|Component video|Composite videoWall Mountable YesEPEAT Qualified NoUPC 887276089621This TV is good for what it offers.But before making my decision to purchase or not, I wanted to deeper understand of all its specs above.*Warranty: something goes wrong with the TV while still under warranty, YOU and NOT Samsung will pay for shipping back to their factory, they will fix/replace and ship back to you at their cost.*Energy Saver: NO. Which means it cost $6 per every 200 hours of use. If this TV was energy saver it would cost $4.2 instead. (US dollars)*5watts speakers, the sound is very low, pay attention to this. The volume at max should sound like a shower speaker or lower. The sound of this TV is rated to be used in a 137 square feet room or smaller. However, there is an option to buy with Samsung HW-J250 2.2 Channel 80 Watt Audio Soundbar (2015 Model). For an extra $99.99*NO PC INPUTS, the reason I want a TV is to use with a PC. I can still use this TV as a monitor as long as I get my self an adapter (HDMI); an extra 20-30 bucks for a good quality one.*Smart Functionality- No, Built in Wi-Fi- No: meaning this TV will not connect to your wi-fi and it does not have the smart hub option to connect with apps.*USB PORT: meaning you can connect via sharemovie cable with a usb male port to your smart cell phone or camera and display your photos or even play a netflix movie. Guess what, with the combination of your smart phone and this TV = Smart TV. This does not say under description, but it's common knowledge.I don't think I need to go through all the other features, they are all straight forward.Bottom line this TV does meet my needs with conditions (I need either new video card for my computer with HDMI output or HDMI cable with output pc connector), and it meets my budget.If the TV breaks, back light stop working or any other problem it will cost me 40 bucks for shipping. Unless it breaks within 14 days free shipping. and they will ship another one back me at their cost.It took me 20 minutes to do a research, well worth my time before investing $259 + tax.I prepared wrote this review which took me more than an hour, to help consumers to find what they are looking for. And not wasting their money like some did buying this TV not knowing what they were doing.

I almost didn't buy this TV based on a couple of reviewers saying how hard it was to mount. But I took a risk because its the only TV I could find (including Sony, Sharp, and Visio) that fit our application (college dorm room) that wasn't also a smart TV. I am very glad I ignored the naysayers and I couldn't be happier with this TV. It has a great picture and it works with Cable TV (dorm room) and the Razor Laptop my son is taking to college (on any of the HDMI ports).

It may be that the mount I chose turned out to be perfect. If you are looking for a surface mount for this TV instead of the little feet it comes with, take a look at this OLLO: 30-60" Brushed Aluminum Universal Table Top TV Stand, -/+20º Rotation, +10º Tilt, Safety Lock/Lock Release, Anodized Finish, Limited Edition Gold (TT-01 Gold).

Bought this TV as my second LG. I have one that's a 32" and eight years old that still works like brand new in the master BR. This one will probably never see any TV through it or even a movie. It's strictly a gaming monitor and for use with my computer and the Internet. Yep,surf the web with a 42" screen. This screen is ten inches wider yet the TV itself is only about 6 inches wider because of the small bezels now being used. The height is just about the same.

It got here quickly from Amazon,unbox it, use a Phillips screwdriver for the four screws for the feet,plug in a HDMI from my computer plus power and go!!. Of course when using this or probably any TV with a computer it takes tweaking of the settings,LCD TV's would never be set up like that from the factory. I like the menu and the settings,very similar to my other LG. It also has the Expert settings where you can tweak them even more. I like it,and it will do me just fine until the 4k TV's take a dive in price. LG!!! If using this with a computer try these settings I use or for a starting point.

I've been very happy with this purchase. The picture is great, and the TV is very light and easy to handle. I am an average-sized person of average strength (no gym for me), and I had no trouble handling the box myself, unpacking it, and mounting it on the wall with a mounting kit purchased separately. I don't think I could have done that with a larger TV or one that was any heavier. And there is really no point to 4K at this screen size. 4K is much more noticeable on larger screens. I attach a Steambox (gaming console) sometimes, and it is sure easier to power beautiful graphics (ultra settings) at 1080 than at 4k.

I considered 4 stars because I do wish that it had more HDMI ports. But all things considered, I have been very happy with the overall value of this TV, so I have to give 5. It is a great TV for the price.

Bought this for a guest room, and now that it's in there, I find myself using it more than any other tv in the house.

Brand loyal to Panasonic and previously Sony until they became irrelevant, LG is now my go-to brand. Happened after I bought a washer and dryer by them.

Styling is just right. Simple but not cheap looking. Classy but not flashy. Remote is nothing special, but it's rarely used anyway; the cable box remote serves as the universal.

Picture quality surprisingly good. I expected the usual soap opera look I'm used to seeing on these LED's, so my expectations were low. I was very pleased since day one. And now that I've seen 1080 quality via my Roku 3, I really love this product. And since it sips power relative to my plasma and projector, no guilt spending hours watching TV or binging on an entire series in single weekend.

I have yet to game on it. I don't expect to use it for gaming much or at all due to its size, but I'm curious to see what the experience is like on LED.

Will probably be surprised by actually enjoying gaming on it just like I was surprised by their innovative way of combining all controls into a single "button" on the TV itself. I'll let you discover this nifty feature for yourself, if you're someone like me who doesn't read the manual.

I've already recommended this to a friend. I recommend it to anyone needing a tv for a small to medium sized room. Already considering one for the kitchen.

So I purchased this to replace my Westinghouse 26 inch 720p lcd tv this tv was definitely a huge improvement I will mostly be using this for gaming(xboxone) and so far it's great at 1080p 60hz and 32inches this is a great gaming tv for a medium to small room. After you calibrate the picture gaming on this looks great at full hd

Pros
-1080p true hd
-60hz refresh rate (perfect for gaming)
-very small bezel so no distracting edges
-very light
-good sound

Cons
-the stands can't be screwed into table this is especially important since if you were to ever accidentally knock into it it could fall

-there's a little bit of lag when going volume up or down from control my guess is this is a control issue and not ui

Purchased this TV for our vacation home and we're very pleased with the picture quality once I adjusted the settings a bit. It's a great set for a great price. My only complaint is that the sound level isn't loud enough for my mother-in-law to hear it so we added an external remote speaker for her.

I started searching for a new TV two months ago. Wanting to take the jump from an extra largeconsole to a wide screen TV I decided to do my research.Looking at all of the opinions on How Big of a TV I would want, guarantees and the difference betweenname brands and 'off brands' I decided to purchase this.The packaging was excellent. It was double banded on the box to prevent the TV from breaking loose alongwith Styrofoam Protectors all over the TV. Where I didn't test if it would survive a big fall there was a decentchance at the possibility.After all of the unpacking I started putting the Package together. The Screws were in a small corner of the styrofoamOn the right side of the box (if the screen is facing you) so they could easily be missed unless you are looking at it.Probably would have been better to put them with the remote or the setup instructions to keep them from becoming lost.(Hint, have a decent phillips screwdriver ready. There was a lot of torq to get the screws completely in place on boththe base frame and connecting the frame to the TV)The setup is pretty straight forward and the directions for getting all of the outer parts put together was very simple. 4 screwsto put together the base and 4 screws to connect the base to the TV. It's a solid base as long as you have a wide counterto set it aside. After setting it all up I could see the benefit of a wall mount system but the layout of the room in my housedoesn't allow that.The HDMI connectors are on the right side of the TV. This if your components are either on the right side of the TV or in the middle/Underneath.My Direct TV and Roku are on the left side so the 6ft HDMI cables I had just made it with a little give. Any added distance I would have needed to get 12 ft cables. Still the connectors on the side are easily accessible. I have yet to use the USB port but I do not see any expected problems on those.Going from an older console that only maxed at 720 to a full HD is night and day. The Roku colors were bright and crisp. My Direct TV was limited to 720dpi but still there was a large difference between the old TV and the new TV. After adjusting the colors through the menu I was satisfied with what was on the screen.The Sound was slightly disappointing. The source material on some of the movies I watched needed to have the sound turned up all the way to max for me to hear. But for the majority of shows I watched 72-75 seemed to be the sweet spot for me. A sound Bar would definitely improve the effects including surround sound and would be a very good add on for this item.The Remote control is very complex for a HD tv user. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out all of the buttons and what they could do.I was unable to get my Direct TV remote to be able to connect to the TV to turn the power off and on. It is an older model so one of the newergenie remotes from Direct TV probably will have better abilities with the TV.One thing I would like to see is a little bit of flexibility at the base. With the single wide base it is rock solid for the vertical and horizontal movement. But if you have a little bit of a tilt in your floor (weaker section or carpeting) there isn't any real way to adjust the base other than to addsomething to the bottom. It's a small detail but still would be useful.Overall I gave the TV a 4 just because the sound was a little bit disappointing. For the money spent including the 5 year Assurion warrantee It was a great purchase.

It is an affordable and appropriate performance.It was purchased in has been discounted in the reference price.Sound is poor.Price looks insufficient looks cheap because cheaper stand.It is recommended that you buy a sound bar.Under $ 200, is the only purchase.

I got this tv on sale for $450 after Christmas. Good thing i ordered when i did because i checked the price a couple days later and it was back up to $500+. Ive had it for a little less than a month now and so far so good. I purchased this tv for my bedroom to replace a 40" Samsung i had just purchased but i was not happy with it because the screen just seemed way too small. So i saw this Samsung 50" for about $150 more and decided on this instead. Picture quality is beautiful. The sound when im playing a dvd is not as good as my Toshiba of the same size. Ive owned Samsung, Toshiba and Vizo Tv's and Samsung is the only TV that has allowed me to plug in an external hard drive so i can watch videos i have saved over the years so im happy about that. I got a chromecast really cheap around the holidays so i have that plugged in so i wouldnt have to spend extra money on a smart TV. Really happy with this TV. Hopefully it will last for many years to come.

The quality is great and the price was right. I like the stand, and I didn't need anything fancy (like a Smart TV) since I have multiple devices that already stream.This gets 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons:1: HDMI inputs. There's only two inputs. I have a BluRay player, a Roku stick, an XBOX, and a computer I use on this TV. I was forced to either change plugs 2-3 times a day, or buy an HDMI switch. I knew that was the case buying it, but my old TV came with 4, and it seems 3 should be a minimum given how many devices use HDMI now.2: No analog audio input. My audio system is a little old school, so I have an analog plug in which has to be routed through my computer and the HDMI port on that to be used.

Nice TV at a nice price as long as you don't need the smart TV bell and whistles.

I second most everything the other reviews say. Great sound quality for the price, acceptable screen resolution (I've been using this with a Fire Stick and connecting my laptop via HDMI, so that may be what's degrading the picture quality.) The design is sleek and subtle. I have no problems with the scale of the legs. They are very sturdy feeling and I am in no way concerned about the stability of the unit.

Like everyone else says, there is only 1 HDMI and 1 USB in port. That is a bit frustrating.

My only other concern is that the remote is NOT attractive. That's not really a complaint, just an observation. They could have done better.

If you want a good TV and don't want to spend a ton of money AND are leery of no-name brands, this is a perfectly acceptable solution.

LED picture quality is good, but not as good as my two, larger Panasonic Plasma HD TVs. However, the LED set is undeniably much lighter and runs much cooler. It's more energy efficient too, with the estimated annual cost of operation at a paltry $6. Sound quality is fine for this application. Only one complaint, if you can call it that: There is a small red light on the bottom of the set which turns off when the set is turned on. Since it is almost hidden, you don't know whether or not you have actually turned on the set until the screen lights up, which takes a couple of seconds. Having that little light turn on when the set is turned on and off when it is turned off would make more sense. Anyway, the 32" screen size is just what we needed for the bedroom, where it is primarily used in the morning. Our old 37" Plasma, which previously moved from the great room to the bedroom, where it was oversized, has now been relegated to a basement workout room, and the newer 55" Plasma rules the great room.

I have this set wall mounted with an articulating mount with x-shaped arms and didn't have any problems attaching the various cables. The 1080p really looks good with hd content. I have a noisy ceiling fan and with the sound set at Standard I had a hard time hearing what was said, voices seemed muffled, however, outside of my room, the sound was clear. I decided to play with the sound settings and found that for me, "Cinema", made the voices clear so I could turn down the volume and still have the fan on. The remote looks fairly simple and the text is fairly large compared to some remotes that I have had.

The only cons I found, compared to the no name tv brand I had before is that it has less ports than the previous tv which had 3 hdmi, USB, component and composite (the LG has 2 HDMI, shared component and composite) and it only has digital audio out. The tv tends to be a bit reflective as well.

This TV is great for the living room. Nice sharp images and great color. If you hook it up to a computer the edges of letters are not going to be as smooth as if they were on a proper computer monitor, but hey its a TV, not a Dell UltraSharp. Its surprisingly light, and the feet were a breeze to set up. The only downside (as mentioned in the cons section) is that it only has optical audio out, so if you don't have a receiver, then you will have to find a way to route audio differently. That being said, the internal speakers are adequate, not amazing, but not terrible either.

Pros:
Good picture
Easy to set up
Decent sound

Cons:
Only 2 HDMI Inputs
The only audio out is optical (TOSLINK)
The component and composite inputs are shared.

The only other minor and nit picky issue I have is that the remote has a .5 to 1 second lag when navigating menus.

PROS: Nice slim TV. Lightweight, good sound and ok picture quality. Does everything I need. Easy to set-up and assemble. Assembling the feet and setting it up took less than an hour. For th $360 I paid, it was a good value.
CONS: all ports are on the back, awkwardly located, which will make it very difficult for mounting on the wall. The standing feet instead of a base are ok, but make it less stable and look awkward.

Had problem with sound not working right. With volume all the way down TV was still playing sound. Sometimes sound would work then didn't. Upgraded the firmware and all is back to normal

nice picture, but slow to start up and the sound has been a little wierd.. sometimes I need to turn it off and back on again to get sound.. it's possible its from the streaming device.. but I don't think so

This TV does not have the definition for a very bright, clear picture that I would like, and the volume has to be turned to more than half way on the scale to hear it from 10--12 feet away from the screen. I'm not happy with purchase at all, apparently I made a bad choice that I wouldn't make again.

Great picture but the sound is not very good..

Nice picture, great features. It looks good, and is the perfect size. One thing--- the sound system isn't great. The sound comes out from the bottom of the TV, so even at its highest setting it's not that loud. A friend told me you can buy something that will "push" the sound out from the bottom, but I really didn't want to spend another $100. It's loud enough most of the time, but there are some shows where even at the highest setting it's not quite loud enough.

Picture is alright, can look a bit washed out/faded sometimes (might be a setting I've got wrong). The USB attachment plays all sorts of video files.Speakers are so bad they may as well have not put them in. They make distorted vibration sounds from some sources even at low volumes. This issue is exasperated by the fact there is no 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can't use your normal headphones without an optical adapter. You will need that or an optical sound bar (or optical headphones), so consider that extra cost when purchasing. Also, you cannot change the volume when you are doing it via this method, unless your soundbar or headphones can, and you can't use the TV remote to do that (come on Samsung!!).Overall, I am happy with the product for the price I purchased it for (~$200). I would be very unhappy if I bought it for the list price. I expect higher quality from Samsung, but I guess the brand has been slipping.

If all you want is a hd tv with 2 hdmi and component, it will get the job done. But I am very picky when it comes to tvs. The panel on the tv is extremely prone to glare. Do not have any lamps or windows facing the front or it will cause a lot of glare. The clarity is fine and the color reproduction is ok. If you want a really good looking screen, I recommend an IPS panel rather than this one.

Nice TV, but I am required to push the ON button of the remote up to 8 times before TV turns ON from remote.

It is not the remote control, because my 22" LG TV works correctly with both remotes. Same process with either of the LG remotes for the 32" LG TV ... requires multiple pushes of the remote ON button to turn 32" TV ON.

22" LG TV turns ON every time 1st try. The 32" LG TV does turn on with the manual button (near red LED) each and every time.

Also, the 32" LG TV turns OFF with 1st try every time. Picture quality is great, and other than the remote problem, a darn good TV. 04.08.16 "Run-A-Way Bill"

Good but not great picture quality. Based on some of the other reviews I expected this TV to be a fantastic picture for the money, but you actually get what you pay for. The images are a little out of focus when standing up close, but from 10' back looks fine. I would recommend this for a bedroom TV where you are viewing from a distance, but not for a small family room TV where people will be viewing from a closer distance. Not a bad TV, just not the best out there for the money. Also has an annoying habit of being hard to turn on with the remote. I have to press the button at least 10 times to turn it on (but not off). Doesn't matter which remote I'm using (one that came with it or my xfinity remote). Very irritating.

The clarity of this screen is wonderful, but the stability and overall functionality of the stand is questionable. This product was returned due to one small piece being broken on the stand, which due to the small size of the legs of the stand, would cause sufficient worry about the product's safety and stability. With proper wall space, it is probably best to mount this TV, just due to the instability of the stand provided.

Picture is good but reception poor even with good antenna (worked fine with previous TV). As mentioned by many others, sound is very poor but our living room is tiny so it is ok at full volume. Main gripe is that is is slower than molasses in January when changing channels and sometimes doesn't go to the right channel. (Could be the remote - can't tell). Should have stuck with same brand we had previously. (TV was damaged in flood; no one would repair it)

Functional, but a terrible UI makes this a frustrating monitor to use.

I sometimes get a choppy screen on my hdmi input channels and there are some serious issues with the volume. The volume level wont change despite the indicator bar on the screen moving and will require a restart. I'm not happy with it. After updating the firmware the problem is still apparent and sometimes I'm often greeted with a 100% volume when the television comes on.

It arrived on time and everything but came without a remote. There's no buttons on the tv for you to do anything and now it's a hassle to send it back as well as reordering another TV. I paid 139 for it which is a bang for your buck but would upgrade to 40 inch to 32 since I plan on hooking it up. So 1 stars to the warehouse for f'king up my order and the other other for delivery.

Picture looks good for the price for sure, however there is an annoying issue where the sound will basically stay very loud despite controlling the level or even putting it on Mute. I can restart the TV several times and eventually get it to become normal again. If I can't find a firmware upgrade or some way to resolve this, I'll likely be requesting a refund for a defective machine.Update: I ended up sending this to Samsung. They paid for shipping since it's still under manufacturer warranty. I'll see how this goes. It seems like I missed the other two star reviews where they had this same problem. Most hooked up to Fire Stick, I however was hooked up to Fire TV, though I don't think it's just Amazon products that have the issue. Even when using the antenna, still was loud without the ability to control the volume. I should have just returned it to Amazon and kept shopping. Hopefully Samsung will get a firmware fix for this.Update 2: Got the TV back from Samsung Support. The sound problem still exists. They replaced the entire main board, however I'm not sure they listened to what the actual problem was. If it's bad firmware, you won't be able to replace the hardware and expect it to work. If you are planning on using Fire TV or from what I hear a Fire Stick with this machine, I'd look elsewhere. It's not worth the hassle.

The sound quality out of this model is poor. Also when I would attempt to use my Fire stick the volume would not increase. If I ran the diagnostics it would work again, however after turning it off it would come back. Amazon replaced the unit however the same issue occurred. I returned the second and bought an LG. The fire stick works gone on it.

Picture is fine but sound is very quiet and this model does not allow you to control the volume on any external speakers.

Very flimsy screen do not get if you have kids.

Switching inputs is retarded. It takes too long and is annoying.This needs a input selection hard-button for each Input. Otherwise if you only want to use it for 1 input you might be fine.Using it with a Mac the Display on the edges is hidden. You'lll need to figure out how to adjust your Mac and the LG's Setting to get the whole picture.

It's just as good as my Sanyo from 2004. Def not an upgrade. Sending it back

Picture quality not so good. Bought a Sony (similar specs) and found it to have a much better picture quality.

did not come with the screws to hold the stands up for the tv. Did not come with the strap either.

WOW really really bad LIGHT BLEED , even going into the settings and adjusting everything to reduce the lower bottoms screens light bleed, i still could see through watching tv and drove me insane. Got an exchange and it was exactly the same, bottom line crappy Tv for the price, the vizio that was cheaper that we got was an improvement.

Sound goes off and returns after a few minutes of silence. Cable company says it's an issue with HMDI in TV. TV for no reason flashes from bright to dark as if it's about to go out. This started happening after having TV for three months. Have not had TV a year yet. Talk to Samsung - no results. I have for the most parts had no problems with Samsung products but this one is a real disappointment. Guess I am stuck with it.

Worked perfect for exactly one year, then suddenly died. This is the second time a Samsung TV has done this. Never again !

TV will at random: Power back on all by itself, switch to store demo mode for no reason, freeze up and require a reboot, or simply not respond to the remote. Can't upgrade the firmware because that doesn't work either. Serious disappointment in this for the price and brand name. Asked for a refund from Amazon. Will have to look at a different TV because I don't want to spend any more time on this hunk of junk.

I purchased this TV in December 2015 for my son's room. It has already broken and will not turn on. It was hung on the wall and has not been exposed to any damaging actions - it just stopped working. Perusing the net shows this is a fairly common problem with this TV where it just stops working and won't turn on. The red power light is on but when pushing the one-button control, nothing happens. The remote control does nothing to turn it on either.Since the one-button controls everything, I suspect it has something to do with this. I'll stick to TVs with separate power, sound, etc. buttons from now on.

Best buy will beat the price.I found after returning 2 broken ones from amazon :-(

This was the first time ordering a television online, and probably will be my last. This television was at a great price, but we had a lot of issues with the picture quality and the sizing of the picture. There was either a large black box around a small picture, or the picture was so stretched out that it was distorted. We were never able to correct the sizing problem on this television, even after speaking multiple times to our cable company and Samsung directly. It just would not resize the screen automatically for each channel. We were told that we probably got a bad television. There was no way we would be resizing the screen manually -- who would do this? We ended up returning this television and purchasing a 40" Samsung at a store, which works perfectly.

Stopped working after 1 year, shortly after the warranty expired.

Received this TV and right out of the box it would not turn on unless you pressed the "ON" button on the remote 5-7 times. Also would not scan in some over the air channels that our other TVs have. Complained to LG and they sent us a new remote. Same problem. Again complained to LG and sent it back for repair. Got it back. Same problem. We hate this TV and will never buy another LG product. On our way today to Costco to buy a new TV and it will not be another LG.

The TV was broken.

Good picture ok price at first . Remote startup takes forever , takes multiple attempts to turn on . HDMI 2 port fail at 9 months aggravating . Get warranty buy locally. Repaired under warranty then died completely 3 months later

This TV became defective in early June. Since it was under warranty, we dealt directly with LG for repair/replacement. Customer Service was poor at best, and two months after the first return for repair, they finally sent a check. It is interesting that replacing the product was never an option. Numerous phone calls, emails, etc. involving hours of time on hold, etc. made the entire process very unsatisfactory.We contacted Amazon who offered to replace the TV immediately, without question. Unfortunately, we had already returned it to LG again, who held on to it for about 6 weeks before deciding that it was not worth repairing and finally sent a refund.We are devoted Amazon shoppers and compliment them on their excellent customer service. We will continue to shop at Amazon regularly, as our preferred destination for almost everything.

This TV has an issue with turning on, you have to press the power button on the remote (with fresh batteries) a few times for it to turn on, I send it back and got another one thinking it was just a faulty one, but no, when I got the other one, it had the same annoyong problem, and I read others here had the same issue, so now we're sending this one back as well. We got a samsung instead which works great.
