Enjoy a gaming session on this 55-inch LG LED television. Its IPS technology utilizes in-plane switching to produce brilliant colors that can be seen from any angle, and the 4K upscaler optimizes lower-quality video for a clearer picture. The Channel Plus app included with this LG LED television provides access to over 100 free channels.

Great Deal.. but some tweaking to get things right

Verified Purchase:Yes
I own 3 LG TVs, the oldest is a full HD 1080p about 10 years old now, and all of them are still going strong.
When I saw this sub $500 (on sale) 4k UHD smart tv, I figured I would be getting a no frills, watered down version of a higher end product. To my surprise this turned out to be The Deal of my holiday shopping season.
When i first turned it on, I found there was a horrible lag (lip sync) in the video with the sound on HD channels. Horrified, I fumbled through the settings hoping it was something simple that needed to be tweaked. I found a setting that allowed you to adjust the sound sync timing but this did not work.
I have Xfinity, and after a quick google, found that I needed to to set my set top box audio to LPCM, after that no more sync issues. The sounds is good, but not as rich as my more expensive tvs. I am thinking about getting a sound bar to help with that.
The 4kUHD experience is breathtaking in comparison to standard HD, and this TV delivers good performance for the price. I even upgraded my Netflix to 4k UHD, worth the extra $4 a month and looks beautiful on this tv.

Verified Purchase:Yes
One of my aging dell laptops I use for development needed replaced. I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of this model being sub $1k. Even more so that it had zero issues running Ubuntu 16.04!
Pros:
- excellent quality, crisp and clear 1080p HD display.
- SD card slot
- USB C !
- Kaby Lake Core i7 (Fast!) also avg 5-6 hours on battery when using heavily.
- 512GB SS HD
- 15.6" multi-touch screen
- Nice and sturdy construction
Cons:
- Keyboard keys feel a bit shallow (but have excellent response)
- Location of power button is odd, especially when grabbing to turn the laptop from the edges (got used to it)
- Not much else yet
Great Deal!

Will I be able to connect to a digital antenna to receive over air broadcasts & control channel entry from the remote?

Yes, and the on screen tv guide with channel preview also works with "over the air" (called live tv on this model), it actually works and looks better than my set top box menu system.

New computer for Christmas, battery is charged but only lasts 1.5 hours any ideas why?

I usually get 5-6 hours doing fairly heavy usage. Probably a bad battery.

Has anyone transferred files to an external USB 3.0 Hard Drive from this laptop. I'm wondering if it transfers much faster than an older USB 2.0 laptop?

Yes! Night and day difference between USB 2 and 3. Super fast on thumb drives too, can move a 4GB file in about 8-10 seconds.

What type of backlighting is used for the screen? And, what type of backlighting is used for the keyboard? If your answer is "LCD," then I must know if that relies on LED lighting or fluorescent lighting. Thank you!

LED, and it is the brightest of all the laptops I own, I actually run it most of the time at 60%, but for crisp viewing at wide angles you have to crank it up.
