I will first start out by saying this an honest review and I do not work for BestBuy or LG. This TV has been an extremely great experience. I spent days researching smart TVs from different websites and came across this one on BestBuy. Purchased for a price of $499, it was well below my budget (I recommend knowing what the prices are online before you purchase in the store, It was marked up $50 compared to what it was listed online but BestBuy will Price Match.) I was on the fence between LG's WebOS and this ROKU TV which was the main reason it took me a week to finally make the purchase. I was only planning on using the Netflix app anyways so paying the extra $150 to get LG's WebOS TV for a "better experience" turned me away. I will admit, I was very doubtful at first because of the negative reviews I came across like people saying it will develop a haze, the speakers are hard to hear, and you must go through ROKU screen first to get to the cable portion, but they were all wrong...at least in my case. It was pretty difficult to get out of the box at first opening but I guess that is good seeing as the TV is secure. I chose not to wall mount it yet so I installed the stand brackets which is a lot easier with a second person rather than alone. After setting it up and plugging in the HDMI cables it only took a few minutes to set everything up on the TV and change a few setting to my liking. The picture, in my opinion, is perfect. I came from having an original Philips flat screen TV from 10 years ago so I guess it didn't take much. The sound isn't an issue, I keep the volume on 15, I sit 15-20 feet away, and its plenty loud enough. You can disable the automatically going to the Roku home screen in the settings so it goes straight to cable or whatever you want it to go to. The refresh rate is good, there is no lag. I will say the remote for this is nothing but an oversized Roku remote with volume buttons on the side, but if you are still controlling your TV and Cable Box separately you should invest in a Logitech remote. I highly recommend this TV to anyone who is on a budget and wants a good quality TV.
