Couldn't Be More Pleased
on June 12, 2017
Posted by: VAC1
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the most part, I am very happy with this TV. The picture quality from all different types of source material (both UHD and non-UHD) is excellent—spectacular in most instances. In all of my searching around for a 4K TV, I insisted on the following: at least a 75” panel, full-array back lit, local dimming adjustment, a native refresh rate of at least 120 Hz, scalable up to 240 Hz for troublesome movies, a generous amount of apps, programs, and features, and of course HDR. LG is one of the very few 4K TV brands that support HDR with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. From my perspective, this TV has it all.
Needless to say, with any TV you buy, you will need to tweak and customize settings to get the very best picture. From my experiences over the years, the factory settings never quite do the trick. Using this TV with my Marantz A/V audio/video processor via the ARC HDMI input is a snap. Even though I use my A/V system for the very best audio, I was quite surprised on how good the sound quality is just using the internal speakers—the very best I have heard on any brand name TV.
There are quite a lot of pre-installed apps, but you can get tons more stuff from the LG App Store, a lot of which are free. The TV also supports 5G Wi-Fi Networking, so video streaming is flawless. If you have a good desktop computer with a high-quality video card and generous power supply (between 500-750 watts) you can hook it up to one of the extra HDMI ports and it will handle this size display with no problem. Windows 10 has never looked this good.
Although the Magic Remote is very nice, this year’s model has taken a slight step back in one aspect. In years past, the Magic Remote was a true universal remote. You could control multiple devices from a pre-configured menu of installed devices. I am not sure why LG did this, but this year’s model (2017) allows you to set up and remotely control just 1 additional device—not multiple ones. It is not really a big deal as the Magic Remote has tremendous functionality.
Despite this issue, I couldn’t be happier with this TV. It is performing beyond what I expected. Friends and relatives who have been over to see it leave my house awe-stricken!

Excellent Graphics Card
on December 16, 2016
Posted by: VAC1
Verified Purchase:Yes
I replaced an earlier version Radeon graphics card with the this RX-480. Believe it or not, I am not a gamer. I stream a lot of movies. The card delivers superb video quality from a variety of sources. I chose this card because of its outstanding specifications and features. It provides for wide range video and display configuration settings. It also supports the AMD high definition audio driver which delivers outstanding sound quality. The Crimson software control panel is intuitive and easy to use. It immediately notifies you when updates are available. This is by far the best graphics card I have ever owned.

Best Electronics Purchase Made in a While
on November 9, 2015
Posted by: VAC1
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the best piece of electronic AV equipment I have purchased in a very long time. I previously had a Marantz Pre-Amp Processor with 5 separate Mono-Block Amplifiers, 1 for each channel. This arrangement produced what I thought to be exceptionally good sound—until I replaced it with the SR5010. The reason I replaced the previous system is because the pre-amp developed a problem which would have been too costly to repair.
Since the SR5010 can also be used as a pre-amp processor with my 5 mono-block units, I decided to keep them—thinking that is what I would be doing. However, when I used the SR5010 all by itself, I was blown away. The sound quality coming out of this unit is stunning. My mono-blocks went back in their original boxes.
The SR5010 has 2 LFE subwoofer outputs on the back. Since my speakers have built in powered subwoofers (Definitive Technology Mythos STS), this worked out perfectly—one output for each speaker. The base levels to the speakers can be adjusted from the SR5010 control panel, which offers a multitude of control options. There are too many to mention here. For example, once you identify the crossover frequencies of the drivers in your speaker, you can match them with the appropriate settings in the SR5010.
With the M-DAX setting, you can get your mp3 files to CD or DVD quality. The built-in Wi-Fi allows for automatic firmware updates and free Marantz Internet Radio which is a very nice plus.
The video on my Sharp 70” TV has never looked better as when processed through the SR5010.
There are a ton of features on this unit that will not disappoint. The enhanced sound and video quality I am getting out of this unit are worth every penny. I could not be more pleased with the SR5010.

This Samsung S-View case features a flip cover that shields your Samsung Galaxy S 4 mobile phone's display for reliable protection. The automatic wake-up feature intuitively turns on your device's display when the cover is opened.

Great Case
on October 25, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
This case is very attractive, adding a very nice look to the entire phone--much better than the stock case. When you flip open the cover, it automatically awakens the phone to the useable start page. When you close the cover, it puts the smartphone back to sleep. The handy window in the upper portion of the case allows you to view the time and any notifications. Unlike many other cases on the market which make the smartphone seem much thicker than it actually is, this case preserves the very slimline look of the smartphone.

Does the TV do well with fast action sports? Like when the camera follows a spinning football or a golf ball in the air.

Hi,
I don’t know to what extent you are familiar with and/or understand refresh rates. There is a great article on CNET which covers this topic very well. The 75SJ8570 has a native refresh rate of 120Hz (very desirable). It can be adjusted up to 240Hz through the TrueMotion settings. Personally, I generally tend to turn off most of these so-called “enhancement” features on my TV’s.

I find that motion looks perfectly normal on this TV with TrueMotion turned off. Sports events look just fine. The only movie I had motion problems with is “Titanic” with Leonardo DiCaprio. I later found out that it was due to how the movie was originally filmed—too detained to get into here. Anyway, I went into the TrueMotion settings, selected the “user” option, and set “judder” and “motion” both to 3. This immediately took care of the problem. You can also try the “clear” and “smooth” settings—presets by LG.

Again, most of the time, I have True Motion turned off. I detect no significant motion problems on this TV with it disabled. If you have problems, just try the different options there. BTW, the picture quality on this TV from all types of sources (4K and non-4K) is excellent—absolutely stunning in most instances.

I hope this helps.
