This was my present to myself and yet my wife wants to watch football on it.  It is better than being at the game.  The picture is excellent.  A couple of times, the sound has gone out or something but after being off awhile, it worked again.

Everyone says "wow, what a picture"

please work on UI and performance on UI

why cant upgrade my UI in 47LM8600-TA to 2015 UI ?

UI and Programing

Hello! Was very pleased to receive your letter. Very nice that you are worried about consumers of your products! When I bought this TV, I was immensely happy. I really liked the design of the TV. I also liked the picture and sound quality. Thank you for your products. Now I will try to buy a new TV model.

I really liked this product. I recommend it to eve

Good picture etc.
Hard to set colors
Do not like magic remote, hard to use

But Great sound
And Great picture
Am on cable and is better picture than cable can send
All in all happy with it

Did lots of on-line research including Consumer Reports
Am satisfied

Very Nice TV

I need this size TV for our gathering area.  Wanted the quality of a plasma TV, but couldn't find the right size. Chose the LED technology based on several reviews I read.  This technology is the best.  Everybody who has seen it can't decided which is better, the outstanding picture or the almost invisible bezel (frame).  Works well with our Amazon Prime membership.

Exceeded my high expectations!

Watch HD movies.  Already have a 3D TV and loved it so much that we wanted to get another.  Now we have one passive and one active and like both.  Great color and blacks.

Excellent Video Display + Love my 3D

I was lucky enough to purchase this television when it was on sale. I had it for 1 week and was overwhelmed with the quality of the picture and the sensitivity to the 3d visuals. It was just as good as being in the movies I was astounded After the first week the television fell because it wasn't sitting sturdy enough on a cabinet (my fault). Knowing how good the television was I couldn't resist the temptation and brought another one. That's how great this TV is. You wont go wrong

This is a fantastic tv

Would rate this 5 stars except for the Magic Remote (OK but would rather have a more conventional remote as the Magic leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to entering information for an Internet search and use.) and display of incoming telephone number information is missing (a feature I had on the previous TV and I miss it!).

Excellent 3D TV

I use the product to stream content from my tablet using LG Smartshare. Worked right out of the box and is just amazing.

Also use to stream movies via netflix, again, flawless.

TV was super easy to install and is so thin it looks like a picture on the wall.

For this price its just a steal!

Amazing TV

Number one the sales personel was sharp..professional and knew his product..any time I use net for purchases I kinda worry..is this all super legit ..well Adorama not only relieved any qualms I might have had..The product..the pricing was as advertised..They kept me informed by E mail when would be shipped..arrive date and all was right on..A pleasure to do business with them and will do more in future..LG 3D is super..

LG Electronics is just AWESOME!

Thought it was a good product but turn off the firmware updates as LG will remove options from the TV from when you bought it. Also had the main board has been replaced 4 -5 times in December 2012. The TV was never the same.

Not Happy

This TV was purchased for use in our bedroom.  It has a beautiful picture and was a breeze to set up.  The only problem, which is an inherent characteristic of all flat screen TV's, is very poor sound quality.  We bought a sound bar and subwoofer which gives us good audio quality.

Beautiful Picture - Easy Setup

I encountered two problems with the Magic Remote that makes it difficult to use. First, the cursor frequently disappears which is extremely frustrating. Second, most often the cursor must be pointed 90 degrees or more away form the TV for the cursor to appear on the screen.

Overall this TV has very good features.

The best TV I have ever owned. Amazing picture. Every feature possible. Remote is great. I cannot tell you how fantastic the picture is on this TV. Bright, clear, amazing detail. Outclasses every other TV out there. I could not be happier with the picture and performance.

3 issues, none major, but items LG needs to address:

1. Thickness dimension is correctly called out on specifications except near the bottom where the speakers are. There the overall thickness is about 2.25". A potential problem with wall mount if you are not aware of it.

2. Remote needs to stay "on" longer. You shake it to get the pointer activated, but you have to make a selection fast or the pointer disappears and you have to start over. Saves battery life, but annoying. 3-5 seconds longer would be so much better.

3. When using the HDMI ARC (audio return) which makes a clean install - only 1 cable to your reciver, the TV triggers your amp to go to AUDIO 1 instead of AV1 or whatever input you are using. A real annoyance, as I have to switch the input on my receiver everytime I turn the TV on. It is NOT an issue with the reciver, and nothing I can defeat. I hope they come up with a software change that won't trigger the input selection when you turn the TV on with HDMI/ARC control activated, or make it optional. I like the fact that it turns on the receiver on and off, just wish it wouldn't change the input selected.

Best Picture I've ever seen. Feature packed.

It is very very nice. Would I love to see JD in 3D Walking on the water with this TV? YES!!!. The picture is awesome do not fret other reviews about bleeding light every tv does it and in my viewing opinion it reminds me more of Real Cinema. I have very expensive media products to very less costly good products so I am speaking to those who remember the lighting on big screen when at the Movies as the curtain drew open and then wham you have immersion of colors and the magic of Cinema. This Tv is awesome it is not perfect. If you are Looking at this TV for your Movie Room TV, I recommend get the biggest one you can afford. I purchased the 47inch because I have a theater room already established and this LG TV for me is sized for my Kitchen Living and Dinning room on a articulating Wall mount.
The Speakers sound very well which is great to keep my area uncluttered and another less thing to clean around. When I am ready to replace my Theater Room TV I will be Watching for LG. This LG 47LM8600 is Mine. I am Very Happy, LG If They ask me for it to give back I would have to tell them No.
It's also Fun to use all the different Apps. I can't wait to see all the upgrades that will come along as the Apps change all the time. Oh Yea It Looks pretty pretty Nice on the wall too. I went threw a few TV's and I sent them back. This one is definitely a Keeper. I am still learning from it every time I watch it. I got the 3D so clear it's stunning. It's not the 3D when I was a kid Thank God, It's very very Nice. PS The remote control is not a problem it's different then the Old School for good reason. And to be honest I want a media experience performance over a keyboard however this TV will let you do that and allow you the option of keyboard but can you see the kids passing it around when everyone is trying to watch the TV!. For me and this review I like not having a keyboard hanging around the rooms. The remote fits in a draw. And the functions of talking to the remote voice work for me just fine. But I rather use it in typical fashion but that's just me. It's not perfect some apps needed resetting the activation a few times but software changes and is always improving as anyone with a computer knows that much. My ISP provider is so slow it's pitiful but this TV in my fair to say Large home makes My ISP look good. I am happy and thumbs way up I recommend it. With all the features this TV has built in it which are great to me but in what matters the most is the picture performance is Awesome and the sound is satisfying that I do not have to add sound bars or such. Yea!

Does it Walk on Water? Almost!

I was chomping at the bit to get this tv because of how vesitile this tv is. I have told people at work and other friends and family what this tv can do and to say they were amazed is and understatment.In fact my daughter bought one! The set up of this tv was simple and I am learning more every day.It also synced up to my Sony home theater system perfectly and I love that. I was also able to unhook my computer and use my portable hard drive to watch my movie collection as it will see any video and audio file I put to it. Thank You Lg for that feature as I have been waiting for this for a very long time.I am impressed so far. One thing that would be a good update is that while playing a dvd video file which contains what are called vob files it will only play one vob file at a time instead of playing them straight thru.In otherwords if the dvd file contains 4 or 5 vob files you have to click on the 1st vob and when that has played it stops and you have to click on the 2nd vob file and so on. This woud be a software update that your techs could do as a tv firmware or software update.Please send this to your techs and see what they woud say as I would like and answer.Other than that I am very pleased with your product and plan to buy more of your products to go with your tv. the 3d is astounding as well as hd content. The internet was also seemless. Thank You agian.

Great Tv.

What a difference. Like all the features including the setup, internet, etc. I'm not crazy about the magic remote. Also the Simplink connection will not work your LG sound bar. It requires a HDMI connection. Allother Simplink components using the HDMI connection work just fine. The picture quality is outstanding and I like the upsacle featues available. A wonderful upgrade.

Upgraded from 2005 Plasma 1080i

right out of box very easy to set up and use. The internet was a lot more easy to set up than I thought. Excellent picture

great features and easy to set-up and use

I found the learning curve with the remote a little long but after I mastered the pointer, I was up and running. Having been involved in TV for many years, I have watched the evolution of the medium and can say that I have never enjoyed a picture as much. The detail is stunning and the color brilliant.

Slow start but Great Finish

We have had our 8600 for a couple of months now and generally like it a lot. The core tv functions are terrific, with great detail and no screen issues of any kind. The smart tv functions are mostly good as well, but there are exceptions, and they are big ones that keep me from rating this set even higher. Here are the things I'd like to see improved and they are all easy for LG to do...

1. Where is Pandora? It is shocking that in 2013 LG does not support Pandora via a dedicated app. Huge fail. Same with Amazon video. This tv should have a full suite of the most used apps. Easy to rectify.
2. Setup is not explained well at all and there is lots of trial and error to get things working the way they should. We have had particular trouble with audio and ended up having to call LG support which solved the problem but which should not have been necessary.
3. We have had occaisonal 'jumpiness' of video from cable. This isn't uncommon but should not happen on any state of the art tv. They need to be able to adequately handle all major media sources without issue.

So overall we really like the set, but at the same time drop our ratings due to some glaring ommissions and easy to improve fixes.

Where is Pandora?

47LM8600 Good, But Not Great...

Product is great only issue is sound quality . So i have buy home theater for it. Remote could have been more userful.

I would buy this product in bigger size

We love the picture quality and performance of this TV! I am a little disappointed in the magic remote - however, I use my cable box remote for the primary, so it is only a little inconvenience...

Outstanding!

Amazing picture, cool remote and surprisingly easy set-up. I purchased it primarily for the 3D feature, but the real treat is the 2D to 3D conversion. Do I really need to buy 3D enabled movies? And being able to adjust the depth effect makes you feel as if your watching action through an open window instead of a television set. 6 pair of lightweight glasses included that don't require batteries or recharging add convenience and are superior to the bulky active glasses that use the flickering technology.

This TV is the ultimate!

Used for video and photo editing, sports and movies.
Xcellent reception equals outstanding picture quality. Deep blacks and brilliant RGB's. This set like all others needs good reception.Garbage in, Garbage out!!! Switch the remote to IR instead of RF, and then buy a Harmony or something. The remote sucks. 3D looks great. Passive glasses ok.

After six months here it is.

We went into the store to buy a different tv but after comparing the features the 3d on the LG was awesome. I love the smart remote my kids love to go on internet and play songs on the tv. I am looking forward to purchasing the skype camera to talk with family and can't wait to see how fun that will be. You won't be dissappointed with this purchase.

LG SMART TV 3D......GREAT PURCHASE!

This television solved my need for clear, crisp, and accurate color with 3D capability. Also it allows access to all media in your home "cloud". If you're a gamer it adds dual play without having to switch from player to player. This device is loaded with widgets or should I say apps for complete family or business entertainment. The only complaint is the switching capability for hdmi to hdmi requires pressing the home key and then selecting the hdmi input of your choice...a waste of time. This should be fixed to give direct access to inputs at any time. Other than that peeve (which LG could fix ) this product is awesome.

Awesome Product!!!

Ive had this tv for about 4 months,and there is nothing i can say that havent been said here.LG my hats of to you,youve done itIcan recomment this tv to all a masterpiece doesnt quite name it right.This is a privelage to own something so.....amazing.I can recommend this tv to any one that wants PERFECTION !!!!Ive shop around and no other 3D tv is as bright as this one

Simply Aweasome !!

This is really a great t.v. The 3D is awesome!! The internet browser is good but runs out of memory quickly. The picture quality is second to none. The design is top notch, I really like the ultra slim bezel. The picture wizard that is included is pretty cool. It takes the guess work out of getting the best picture for your environment. The magic remote takes some getting used to, but afterwards it really adds to the overall experience of the t.v. I seen with the recent update LG added the option for a motion sensing camera that you can use to change channels, volume and power on and off the t.v., that could be quite useful. Overall I would recommend this t.v. to anyone looking to upgrade their home theater.

I was a little apprehensive about the price but I took a chance and I have not regretted it. I can,t think of anything about this TV I don't like. I love checking my email or browsing the Internet while watching TV, beats firring up the PC. Watching sports on this TV is aw-sum, and the 3D is unbeatable. Oops gotta go, my LG is calling me.
