so far won't honor money back guarantee
on June 19, 2015
Posted by: ali12

When we bought our LG 65" 4k TV we were told to have it calibrated to get the best possible imaging! We waited, set up an appointment and when the Geek Squad came, I mentioned how the imaging was pretty good but expected the imaging to be exceptional after they leave ! The one Geek Squad guy said the LG's have the best true imaging closest to a calibration, (while the other said "I suppose were're doing a calibration of a calibration!!) We were told that LG uses a company that makes calibration equipment and that's why their TV are so good. Well they were calibrating for almost 50 minutes and I said the TV now looks like there is a film over everything and nothing stands out like a 4K TV should!! I was told we could always go back to the original settings that came with the TV (as LG has 7 presets). Now why would we do that after paying $249.00 for a better viewing experience!! I told them over and over again that what they did looks exactly like the preset Cinema mode already set from the factory! I wanted my money back and all the 1-800 Geek Squad number insisted on was a redo and when I asked what happens if we are still not happy was told "They are the Geek Squad"!! 2nd try and same results only now the whites look grey and STILL the APS setting is clearer, sharper and more colorful that what was done!!! Perhaps different calibration equipment is needed for the new 4k TV's to get a crisper cleaner image rather than a dull Cinema mode!!
Now on the phone over an hour with a Geek Squad CSR and their manager and so far they WILL NOT GIVE ME THE 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE BECAUSE they say once something is installed there is no refunds BUT I ASKED WHY DOES IT SAY 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE RIGHT ON THE BEST BUY SITE??? and of course I get no clear explanation except that if the Geek Squad did something wrong MAYBE something could be done (but I am not holding my breath as I was also told it would take over 72 hours for a call back to answer me!! So I called the men who did the calibration now as the 800 number just offered me another re-do!!! I was then told by the men who came twice to my house once again that LG has the best right out of the box settings and honestly there is little difference with the Cinema mode and the Geek Squad calibration,so now I should go to the Store and try to get my money back!1 After spending almost $7,000 over the last 3 years I am at my wits end and hope the Store Manger stands behind the "30 day money back guarantee" So bottom line if you buy an LG the calibration is really not worth it as the presetting right out of the box are Better than calibration re-do
If I was told this straight up and not told how I NEEDED A CALIBRATION WHEN BUYING THE NEW LG 4K I could saved myself hours of pain and my gut is paying for something not needed!

Awful port design!
By katzman69 from Tampa, FL
The set only has 2 HDMI inputs and NO audio out in RCA, only optical out. Now I have to spend $400+ to buy a new receiver with optical in, when the Kenwood 7.1 surround system I have is perfectly fine!

I had the same issue when I bought a higher end 3D larger unit two years ago and found out that most newer TV's are built the exact same way. The Kenwood sound system you have, although good for it's time, is like the one I had and in today's time considered Old.
I used the older Kenwood sound system on one of my older TV's elsewhere in the house and got a newer updated surround sound system for the LG TV. (Now I have the best of both)

Not happy at all.
By Bengalbreeder from Springfield, OR
They replaced the tv because the 3-D feature did not work right. Now the second tv is doing no better and also has issues with the voice being out of sink. Now the new part is on back order and can't get until first part of February. This has been going on since December 15th. I am ready to go back to a brand I can trust.

I bought this back in 9/14 and find it wonderful!! The issue could possibly be with your cable provider and not the TV itself! I know the LG I had in 2011 which was just HD and not 4K, had trouble with the voice not being in sync and a couple other issues and it turned out to be Blue Ridge, which has thus correctly the issues.

amazing sound
By ali12 from ne pa
Bought these when my old speakers needed upgrading for my new 4k LG TV! Couldn't be happier as the surround sound audio is amazing! I like to play the sound load (around 70 on the vol dial) and the speakers blow you away! The area in my family room designated for the media area is 15 x 20 and I find the audio to be rich and encompassing! Grant you the only draw back is the sub woofer, appears to "blend" with the center and 2 front speakers, but you still get rich bass tones and precise trebles! (If you like the big booming sound this woofer won''t give you that but rather a wonderful blend of basses making it great for movies)
Very very pleased with the purchase!

Doesn't Heat / Do Not Buy Whirlpool
By Hiker
Bought model WMH76718AW on 2/19/13. Stopped heating on 1/25/15.
Whirlpool will not replace or repair because extended warranty is over. Whirlpool does not stand behind their products. They recommend repairing it and purchasing an extended warranty for the repair. That will make this a $1000 piece of garbage. I will never buy another Whirlpool (Maytag, Amana, etc.) product again. Also, my Whirlpool dishwasher doesn't clean dishes. Stay away from Whirlpool products. Quality, durability, and follow up service are terrible.

just a word of caution
April 22, 2015
I am already on my 3rd GE microwave. I think all of them no matter what brand make the products now so that they will fail after the warranties are up!! My first 2 both failed a month after the 1 year mfg warranties and the 3rd is now starting to fail after 2 years!!! While it i doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy about Whirlpool products it does make me realize to stay away from GE and now Whirlpool. Also Ge will not honor a repair out of warranty either unless you want to pay huge amounts or if you bought the extended expensive warranty!!

Is the Calibration Service I purchased, truly "good for life"?

I plan on moving within the next year and want to ensure my new 4K purchase can indeed be calibrated now (after 100-15 hours of use of course) and again once I move and the TV is in a new environment.
Just an FYI I went to the store and the manager (no questions) gave me a full refund on the calibration!!)So once again by buying an LG TV you do not need the calibration done as the presets are just as good or better!
