Brialliant Picture

Very sharp 4K picture. Most shows are 2K but this HDTV does an excellent job of upscaling all shows to 4K. Colors are very brilliant with deep blacks. This is a 7000 series and for about $100 is a big step up from the 5000 and 6000 series.

This is a very large refrigerator. May stick out from the cabinets so measure the depth to be sure. Great shelving and drawer layouts. Large capacity ice maker. The water filter must be installed first or the ice maker and door cool water features will not work.

This 4K HDTV upscales regular tv shows broadcast in 2K to near 4K. DIRECTV presents some shows in true 4K and it is hard to tell the difference. Very few programs are actually broadcast in 4K at this time. Smaller screens can give a descent picture with 60hz of power. NOT so with a 75" HDTV. The 75" screen will seem washed out with 60hz but will cost a lot less. 120hz will power the screen to vibrant colors and a sharp clear picture. A feast for the eyes.

A top performer in this price catagory
on January 26, 2018
Posted by: BBJim
from Dallas, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
In the category this HDTV competes in price wise I would give it 5 stars. Comparing it to the high end HDTV it would be a 3. A solid performer. Great picture. The remote for sound up and down and channel up down keys are not intuitive to use. Not a big negative but worth mentioning to the design department for the next generation.

Very easy to install and set up. Transferred files with no problems. I first loaded Windows 10 Pro off the Windows web site. No extra charge since I already had Windows 10 Pro installed on my disc drive. I loaded the programs I already owned from the internet and disc. Installed files from back ups I had made in the past. Including QuickBooks. Extremely easy with the software included with the Samsung 850 Pro. Installing the hardware is easy too. Just pull the plugins from your old hard drive and plug them into the new Pro 850. Install your version of Windows from the Microsoft web site. The software will guide your from there. I was working with QuickBooks rep and he was amazed at how fast my QuickBooks loaded. He was used to this taking much longer with other customers systems he has dealt with.

Relax and enjoy your favorite films, sporting events or shows on the expansive 65-inch screen of this LG 4K HD TV. Active HDR with Dolby Vision creates an immersive experience with clear images. This LG 4K HD TV features a thin OLED design, giving the television a slender silhouette that doesn't take up much space.

I choose the LG because it is a feast to the eyes
on June 4, 2017
Posted by: BBJim
from Dallas, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
The picture is awesome. I read reviews saying the picture was not bright enough. NOT true. There are at least 11 picture presets. Sports or game setting are extremely bright, in fact too bright. You can choose to watch a movie in sports mode if you like a bright picture. Movie mode is actually very detailed and shows the movie as the director intended the movie to be seen. 4K is dependent on the source of the picture. The LG will improve even the worst picture source. DirecTV has 4K on 3 channels for now, I understand DirecTV already has the ability to greatly expand 4k as future sources of programming become available. Current HDTV programming is stunning since the LG up scales the picture to 4K. I can not believe my eyes when I watch sports or a movie on the LG. Colors are brilliant. Blacks truly are black. Programming actually broadcast in 4K is so lifelike. It was raining during the broadcast of a Garth Brooks concert. You could see the rain drops crystal clear. I see no motion problems while watching sports. NOTE: You will think you made a mistake buying the LG because the factory default is a low power setting. Go to settings and power up to get the picture you paid for and want. My electric bill has not increased as a result. The on screen point and click remote is very easy to use when changing settings. The remote includes Netflix and Amazon buttons for quick viewing. The remote makes this the easiest Netflix menu I have ever used. Talk to the remote and it will find shows for you and actually works quite well. I choose not to go with Samsung because they did not address power problems causing an out of warranty HDTV to die prematurely. SONY OLED has a great picture and maybe even more realistic, in my opinion. However, I choose the LG because the brilliant reds, greens, yellows and blacks are a feast for the eyes.

Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.

Does not work if your PC is older
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: BBJim
from Dallas, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Roku comes with virtually no instructions and web site is useless. The unit works great for programs such as Netflix and other preloaded apps via Wi-Fi. I bought Roku Ultra because all the information I was able to obtain said this was the unit for projecting from your PC to your HDTV. It does not work on my PC because I did not understand what it means to Miracast. Windows Miracast means it will duplicate whatever is on your PC or Laptop screen to an HDTV. If you have an older PC then Miracast is not part of your system and can not be installed. There is no adapter.

Works on Google to transfer the screen image from the PC to the HDTV by wifi. Simply install with HDMI into the TV. Open google and whatever is on the PC can be cast to the TV. Right hand corner of Google home page are three dots stacked. Click and select cast. Now whatever is on your PC will also now be on your HDTV screen. Does not work with Internet Explorer. My picture is HDTV quality on the TV which is better than the image on my Monitor

What specific adapter do I need?

I have a Sony Vaio all in one VPCL135FX and my hard drive crashed. I want this SSD to upgrade to but I need a 2.5 to a 3.5 adapter. I want to know the specific item to purchase. I would prefer it to be a bestbuy item. Please help me scour the site to find it.
Adapters are readily available. However, I found you can just lay them in the bin in most cases without attaching the screws to the adapter.

Can you transfer files from an iPhone to a PC computer?

Yes, works just like any other USB flash drive. There is a connection on one end that connects to the iPhone or iPad. Load from the iPhone then insert into the PC to transfer the files. Does not have to be an Apple PC. Works on Windows too.

Maintain full control of your gaming commands with the customizable, illuminated keys on this Orion Spectrum mechanical gaming keyboard. Connect the unit to a smartphone or tablet to display in-game information when you need a second screen. Anti-ghosting protection keeps the Orion Spark mechanical gaming keyboard from freezing up during intense gaming sessions.
 

Does the volume roller have clicks like a mouse wheel on this one or is it a smooth roller like on the old Orion Spark?

Smooth roller. No clicks. Tiny ridges for feel. Large enough to quickly locate and get a positive feel. Small volume screen appears while adjusting the controls.
