beautiful picture gorgeous design
on February 5, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
The picture is sharp and color definition is extraordinary. The ultra thin panel is gorgeous to look at. The only flaw is light bleed in corners and along bottom edge.
The first unit had horrible flashlighting in the corners and severe light bleed along the left side. I returned it the following week. The second unit Best Buy allowed me to preview it in store before accepting it. We have a winner. Their is a slight light bleed in lower right side; very slight. Nearly imperceptible.
I understand the technology behind the ultra thin triluminous diagnal lit display which is a form of side lit technology. This panel is not backlit therfore their may be some light bleed especially with a very thin bezel and a large panel, smaller panels with larger bezels are not affected to the same degree. Preview before you accept, choose a winner; you won't be disappointed. I absolutely love this unit.
I feel Sony relaxed their quality control on some of these units and allowed some to the marketplace that shouldn't have ever been considered. This hurts the brand name and sheds a bad image on the exceptional units that did make it though production to market. Sony has always been a top tier brand and a leader in innovation an technology. The lack of quality control in this line of Flat Screen TVs' is an unpleasant and frustrating event to work through.
The good ones are out there and they are gorgeous. Just look at the display in the store. You may have to open some boxes to find one. Preview First you'll be happy you did.
By the way do not feel bad about previewing what you buy. Look at it as the quality control that should have been in place to start with. It may be a little frustrating and time consuming but it will be worth it. LED Triluminous technology is estimated to last at least 20yrs as compared to only 3yrs for OLED. The image clarity and color definition are virtually identical. There is no Judder or pixelation as with other high end units. Though the blacks are not as deep and the very minimal edge light bleed, I absolutely love this TV; especially when viewing sports or movies with outdoor seens look so realistic it's amazing. Do your research on anything you buy. Thanks to Best Buy and crew; your the best.

This is a very quiet feature rich and visually pleasing appliance. I wasn't sure it was even working it is so quiet. Does a fantastic job cleaning dishes and cookware. The third rack and the adjustable second rack are very nice features. This has to be the best dishwasher we've ever owned.

When you’re cooking for company, you need a microwave that starts out looking good—and stays looking good. LG’s 2.2 cu. ft. microwave handles that family-sized casserole, and looks good doing it, with sleek, intuitive SmoothTouch controls located on the front of the stylish glass door. Cleanup? It’s a breeze, thanks to EasyClean interior’s stain-resistant technology. And with the enhanced ventilation of ExtendaVent 2.0, you don’t just have a microwave—you have more.

beautiful and sleek above the range microwave

This is the most feature rich attractive above the range microwave currently on the market; in my humble opinion. I really enjoy the bilevel cooking feature and the large capacity of this ovens' interior. My favorite features have to be the slide out Extenda Vent ventilation and the control panel along the bottom of the door. This is one nice looking microwave with many useful features. We really enjoy the sleek futuristic design and the many features this oven provides.

This is a large and spacious full featured refrigerator. I really like the door in door for quick access to frequently used items and the chill drawer is pretty neat. It's super quite very pleasing in appearance. We love our new refrigerator.
Be sure to measure your available space for your refrigerator. This is a quite large unit. Also understand to increase the capacity of the refrigerator the ice maker is smaller than other units. If you take the latter into consideration I believe you'll enjoy this refrigerator as much as we do.

A real time saver especially when cooking large meals. Very beautiful, futuristic and intuitive controls. We absolutely love everything about this range. Easy to clean, and keep looking attractive. Does an excellent job cooking, baking and we especially enjoy the convection oven and the grilling broiler in the upper oven. I don't think we'll ever eat out again. This range makes cooking for our family and friends so much fun. We absolutely love it.

How do I install the included wall-mount on 16" wall studs?

Locate where you would like to mount it find the closest studs to the mount. Use two 2" long lag bolts in the stud and two large toggle bolts in the drywall for the other two 'non stud' holes. Use a level to assure level mounting before final tightening. It will look beautiful.

Good luck and happy watching.

Prepare your family's favorite treats and meals with this Whirlpool WFE540H0ES freestanding electric range, which features an AccuBake temperature management system and fan convection technology that deliver flavorful, evenly baked results.
 

Is Cast Iron usage safe for the top of this stove?

I've heard the horror stories where cast iron cracked, shattered, etc. glass stove tops.
Has anyone used cast iron pots/pans yet?

Any issues?
There is truth to those horror stories; heavy iron cookware is not recommended because most do not have a perfectly flat bottom and are heavy; it doesn't take much of a distance of a drop to shatter ceramic cooktops especially if the bottom is domed slightly "consintrated inpact".
Another issue with cast iron cookware is the rough grain which most of the contact area which if slid while cooking as I've seen cooks do as frying in skillets WILL SCRATCH THE GLASS or CERAMIC top; Glas is softer than iron.
All that being written iron cookware will work with convection cooktops; as anything ferrous or magnetic is needed to for a magnetic field to excite the atoms in the cookware to heat up for cooking.
I recommend buying the correct cookware recommended for convection cooking.
As a side note if you want to erase old VHS tapes or destroy a smartphone or any sensitive electronic device put them on the cooktop with a burner on. The surface is cold to touch and won't melt anything plastic but will magnetically disrupt the magnetic storage media and overheat anything ferrous in electronic devices. It's easy to forget the burner is on and not turned off when removing cookware to another area and forgetting to turn it off.
Experience can be an expensive teacher.

Can you please tell me the differences in a smooth top or the glass top, and the dis or advantages of both? thank you

Both are used to describe the same cooking surface which is actually a "ceran" or ceramic surface. The real difference is the type of heating element used. Induction makes use of magnetic coils to excite the ferrous or "iron" atoms in ferrous based cookware "steel or iron". Other cookware will not work with induction cooktops.
Non induction or conventional cooktops use resistance style heating coils which produces heat through the ceramic cooktops to the cookware. These types of cooktops are not constrained to any particular cookware. There are pro's and con's to both. I recommend doing your research to make the best informed decision for your particular needs and/or wants.

What buttons do you push to raise the temperature of the oven?

The numerical keypad is used to input the temperature settings.

Please be more specific: when you say you can bake two separate items, can you bake a cake in top oven and a turkey in lower oven, AT SAME TIME?

Yes; they are completely independent of each other.

What are the best pans for the cook top?

We use aluminium with ceramic interior with copper bottom pots and pans. Our friends who bought the same range use stainless. I prefer the ceramic "greenware" due to ease of cleaning and the copper clad bottoms for even heat distribution. Although probably not necessary. It seemed for us cast iron took too long to heat and a little heavy for a glass cooking surface.
Cast iron works great for baking cornbread in the upper oven

Do the double ovens usually have broilers in both top and bottom?

The broiler element are in the top of the ovens.

why doesn't your appliances come with a power cord. I have never heard of buying cord seperately for and appliance doesn't make sense

There are different 220/230 volt receptacles, not knowing which is in service where the range will be used; therfore supplying every configuration of cord available becomes impractical.
