The built-in Smart TV is slow to load and way redundant apps. The only ones I found useful are youtube, netflix and plex player (medialink in LG TV), and hulu as well as other paid media sources. Others are all useless. It even comes with an angry bird clone, give me a break. ------------------------------------------

I bought this TV when Best Buy couldn't give me a 47LM4600, they upgraded me to the 55LM4600 or I could have chosen the 47LM6700 - since I have a severe overload of 'smart' devices already, I chose the larger screen.
Comparisons - depends on where you are coming from. I have plasma TVs otherwise - sobacklight bleed problems were not known to me before and I was disappointed to see it on a TV sold in 2012/2013. Reflections - hmmmm, especially in 3D mode, try to not have ANY light source reflecting including windows - it severely impacts 3D viewing. 3D - I was disappointed by the angles where I would get ghosting (when positioned lower or higher than the physical TV) with various types of 3D glasses... out-of-the-box LG, bought set of LG glasses, vanilla movie theater 3D glasses and even one set of 'Gunnar' 3D glasses. So you want to be level when looking a the TV and have a fairly straight angle. But that mostly is due to the passive 3D technology. Now, with all that being said - since I got some customer satisfaction credit at the retailer from a previous mishap they had with me when they could not fulfill an order I placed, I paid less than $450 for the TV and so I am extremely happy. I would say, for $800 and below it is a very good TV. |

I've owned this TV for about 3 months now. The TV itself is great. Picture quality is stunning. Also, it's not documented anywhere but it actually plays MOV and MKV files off of a USB stick. The only "smart" app I use on it is netflix.
It does have a pretty serious flaw in my opinion, and that is the remote. You need to "connect" it with the TV before any of the buttons work. I assume this is some sort of Bluetooth pairing. That's really annoying when all you want to do is turn down the volume but you have to jiggle up the remote, wait a few seconds for it to connect, and then it works so you can press buttons. The remote attempted to be simplistic, but it's annoying. To change the input with the remote you need to jiggle it to wake it up, go to settings, go to input, then click on one of the other inputs. It's a 5 or 8 second process when it would be nice just to click the "input" button a few times. I even went as far as to buy a Harmony remote, but since the smart remote is bluetooth there's not much the Harmony can do. I can change the volume and the channel and turn it off and on. |

I have always heard that electronics sold at Walmart are of a lower quality. They use cheaper parts to bring down the price. Anyone know if this is true? I think it was with Computers, so the same HP you buy from HP is not the same one you buy from HP. That makes me leery buying almost anything from Walmart.

On a side note, I’m not sure why this is a good deal now seeing as how this unit has been at the $800 price mark for close to two weeks. Walmart had it from $999 advertised price to a “check-out” price of $799 since after Christmas. |
