Flatpanelshd measured it at around 54ms. OK, but not outstanding. There may have been firmware update since then that improved it

I suspect it's to cut production costs. Also most people don't use them all.
Games console, TV, Blu-Ray and that's it for me. The TV input runs through my xbox so only needs one port for them both.

It's now clearance so get them while you can! I'd heartily recommend - I bought this during Black Friday for £650 (although only cost me about £570 after Quidco cashback deal). It's not perfect but for the price it's amazing for a 49 inch 4K 3D Smart TV.

Does anyone know if this upscales from 1080 to 4K?

brookysm to coventry1966

25 Apr 16 #11

All 4k TV's do otherwise you'd only be using a quarter of the screen!

It does however upscale very well.

Hot as hell at this price!

I have this! Its awesome. Not tried out the 3d bit yet as thats not what we got it for, we wanted a smart 4k. It has a microphone too so you can tell it what HDMI you want and probably other stuff. Have said 'hello, how are you' to it and is answers back!

i got the 55" at New Year and love it - considered OLED but cost too high for 4k and 1080p just didnt cut it. Love the set and waiting for WebOs3.0 to come out. Rumour has it you can get HDR upgrade in future too - anyone else aware of this?!?

The firmware allows you to turn HDR on for Hdmi sockets 1 and 2. In all honesty though I've been too busy enjoying 3D to try it. If anyone links a small HDR file I'll try it after 10 when I get home.

Hi guys I've got the none 3D version of this tv and everytime I switch it off it forgets my wifi details, little bit annoying in this day and age. Anyone else have this problem with LG and if so found a remedy? Thanks in advance

Tino_G to filsh28

Had a very similar problem with my Sony TV. Try giving your TV a reserved IP on your network, this fixed my issues. :man:

wilkinn to filsh28

If your connected to 5 GHz Wifi that could be the reason, some devices lose connection on the higher channels so drop the 5 GHz channel on your Router to the lowest it will go (ie: 30/32/34) as that fixed the issue for me on this TV.

So this HDR thing sounds expensive. Am I going to have to rebuy my TV, Bluray player and whole Bluray Collection??

brookysm to Jonnyblock

25 Apr 16 #20

You don't need HDR, its an advancement on UHD but isn't compulsory, likewise you don't 'need' to replace your blurays but you might want to. You will however need to buy a new Blu-ray player to play UHD discs and currently they aren't cheap £430 for the cheapest, a Panasonic - the only other one currently available is a Samsung and its £600!

I've got this TV. Really happy with it apart from streaming content from my phone. The tv struggles with HD videos and also poor at streaming showbox,movie HD or cartoon HD. The way around this is to use the chromecast.

brookysm to rushthedj

25 Apr 16 #28

That the problem with mirrorcasting, it has nothing to do with the TV, miracast struggles with large bitrates.

Yep that's the one; different source but verbatim same wording. So webos 3.0 out in May - we shall see but if we get that and HDR this to will be awesome! Just need Kodi side load now...:smiley:

I can only find toggles for ultra hd now. Possibly a grey moment.

26 Apr 16 #33

So this TV doesn’t have HDR out of the box but will be HDR enabled with a firmware update? Is that even possible, I thought HDR was a hardware and software upgrade.

Gkay11

26 Apr 16 #35

Runs mint. Set up the picture using a couple of you tube videos. For expert one I use ld the AV forum settings. For expert two I used the Calibration with Darko setting. They were more fiddly and time consuming but I think they are superior .

How does this compare with the Sony KD49x8005CBU that's currently available for under £500?

theyiddo to GibsonSt19

27 Apr 16 #38

I'm not sure - there's bound to be a website that will compare the specs for you - but I've no idea if there has been a side by side review done online. One thing to note is that this tv has 3D (if you want that feature), whereas the Sony doesn't.

jp007_uk

27 Apr 16 1 #39

I went to Currys today and compared this TV to the Sony KD-498005 comparing them side by side I'd say the Sony seemed to have a slightly better picture quality and comnectivity imo. The front of both TVs is nice with the LGs back looking slimmer imo. I asked the young sales lad which is better and he started comparing the sales slips and said LG, i asked him why and he said just seems better!!! I must also mention that in the 30 -mins it took him to find a remote and eventually navigate around the LG menu it froze twice, I'm not sure if it was the remote batteries.

Now I'm back to searching for a TV.

What source were they using to dem these? Did you get to see them with Freeview, FreeviewHD, 1080p or was it 4k only? Would be good to know how they compared at different resolutions. Thanks

jp007_uk

27 Apr 16 #41

They were both playing 4k content via HDMI, imo the Sony up scales none 4k really well.

GibsonSt19

28 Apr 16 #42

Certainly up-scales 1080p content well enough, but SD is pretty poor (compared with my older Sony set at least). Also on the hunt for something decent in this price-bracket. Could be the Panny (680b).

If using the built in satellite tuner on this TV is there a delay in changing channels?
