LG NanoCell 65" 8K UHD HDR LCD webOS Smart TV (65NANO95) - 2020 - Only at Best Buy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 6 months ago and so happy to have it because watching movies on it it like I’m in the cinema

I bought the LG 65" 8K Nano Smart TV at Fouani Store on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos last October. Do far, I'm still looking for a lot of 8k content to consume because there are no 8k movies on Netflix, and very few on YouTube. All the same though, my plan for the 8K picture quality is for when I eventually get my PlayStation 5. Now, the first main feature of this TV which is hardly talked about it the Voice Control which can be done through the Magic Remote Control, or better still the Handsfree Voice Control which is done without the need of the Magic Remote Control. Once configured, you can stand in any part of your room and say "Hi LG", it will respond to you, then you can proceed to give it voice commands like "Netflix", "YouTube", "Time", "Volume Up", "Turn Off TV", "Play Music", and your TV will go to that feature. The second most important feature of this TV which is under-emphasised and basically unknown by most users is the Home Dashboard from where the user can control this 65" Nano 8k Smart TV and its interactions with other appliances. You can connect your Phone, Computer, Disc Players, Game Console, and Set Top Box for media sharing and also to use your Magic Remote Control as a controller for them all, including your DSTV Decoder. You can go further to connect all your WiFi enabled Smart Appliances in your home to your LG TV through the home dashboard, from where you can control or view them. You can switch off your bedroom Air-Conditioner from your LG TV in the parlour, you can check the progress of your laundry in your Washing Machine, or Dishwasher, you can switch off or switch on Smart Lightbulbs or view Smart Security Cameras. Now, the ultimate feature of this LG TV is the combination of the Handsfree Voice Control and the Smart Home Dashboard. So I can basically stand anywhere in my parlour and say to my TV "Hi LG", it will respond, and I'll tell it "Turn Off Master Bedroom Air Conditioner", and it will execute that command as long as all the devices are connected to the same WiFi. The picture quality is fantastic, the audio is great, however, for me, what makes this Television set worth the money is the handsfree voice control smart home feature. It is out of this world!

I read the manual that states TURN ON HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color to get 4K @ 100/120 Hz (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0). IT SET TO OFF ON PURPOSE!!! QUOTE: If the device connected to Input Port also supports Ultra HD Deep Color, your picture may be clearer. However, if the device doesn’t support it, it may not work properly. In that case, change the TV’s [HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color] setting to off. (4K 60Hz only.) -- This feature is available only on certain models which support HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color. Simple go to your Picture Additional Settings and turn on HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color! Also, you can upgrade your firmware! It took 10 seconds to READ THE MANUAL for me to figure this out! Your device MUST support it, not just the TV!!!

I was skeptical with some negative reviews being posted. However, I had already ordered the TV and decided to try it for a few days. I am impressed by the picture quality although the Filmmaker mode is the best. Sound is really good as well and the option to use bluetooth speakers to create two rear channels is fantastic. User interface is a bit complicated but it is fast. Netflix, Amazon Video and Ability to see my ring door bell and cameras on the TV via Alexa is amazing. I have LG Washer and Dryer, so a message pops up on my TV if they finish a cycle. All good so far and am enjoying. Pros: Picture quality - HDR is good. Cons: when a scene goes from bright to dark to bright while HDR is on, the dimming function seems to lag behind a bit

This TV is super clean with sharp images, accurate colors, blacks and whites are the best I’ve seen. The Smart TV Home Screen is very easy to navigate with this TV remote that is well designed with a Pointer to minimize scrolling. LG has included some free channels including eScape that is ultra HD with high quality music audio. The only reason for not giving a 5 star is the stand or feet that are disappointing. They don’t seem strong enough for this TV and they are 51” apart. This makes older (2 yrs ) common 50” TV stands an issue with these feet by a mere 1/2”.
