greetings,

I decided to buy an LG smart 3D TV 55 inch class , but I am confused about something and I would looooove to get some opinions.

within my budget it's down to 2 options : 1st option the 55LB652T which is smart tv full hd 3d with web os the latest UI , 2nd option the 55UB830T which is smart tv UHD 4k 3d but with netcast .5 the previous UI.

so you see my problem, i want the uhd and the web os... it would be really awesome if LG makes update from netcast 4.5 to web os

My advice will be just ignore smart TVs or 4K TVs in a whole, get a media player which can do all that. But the truth is that's not that easy to do. Almost everyone want one system that does everything.

So what I would tell you is, do your best to ignore LG webos, because you would regret it at the end. Nothing works as advertised. A lot of bugs which never gets fixed.

If you still want a 4K then get a Samsung. I'm not a fun of Samsung but their TVs function as advertised. They don't get stuck or get out of memory error when streaming or watching satellite TV.

The 55LB720T don't get stuck, and don't get out of memory error.

Dude every webos 1.x FW has got that problem. So if it has webos then it gets out of memory.

ok here's what I did guys and I would really appreciate your help, I went to the stores and I bought 2 TVs they are saying that I have 7 days return policy, so I have one week to play with these TVs and then keep one and get refund for the other.

I bought the LG 55UB850 ( uhd,3d, smart tv webOS)  and the samsung 55HU8500 ( the flat nOT the curved version, also uhd, 3d, smart tv )  both Tvs with magic remotes and all... now here's my thoughts so far the samsung os has the flash player so it can read any video without an issue the LG does not because of the abscence of the flash player!! for the picture quality I have to say it's a draw they are both pretty good, except for the fact the LG uses the IPS so it's more solid and robust panel but I am not sure that it's a great plus for home use... I saw few articles or reviews stating that the IPS has better viewing angles or vice vers ca  but I didn't notice that... now I have to say the LG magic remote is better also I noticed that pointer in the samsung os disappears when you enter some apps so you have to go back to the old way by clicking to move the pointer but on the LG it's always working inside all apps and I found that to be a big plus.

now regarding the operating systems it was hard for me because each one has its own advantages but generally I think the web OS is slightly better though I couldn't find multi screen function on the web OS unlike the samsung smat hub where I can have 2 screens simultaneously like web browsing and watching tv at the same time...

bottom line  guys I am confused and still not sure what to chose so please help me out and if you know any other details let me know I am going to take your advise

thanks a lot

Well to help you make the choice, you should try this also:

1) go to the YouTube apps of both TVs and try to play a video longer than and hour and see what happens.

2) if you've got a tablet or even your phone, try to steam a movie to the TV's also for an hour.

3) do the same with the browser. Either from YouTube or any other site. Search for movies, videos longer than 45min.

4) when playing movies, pause and restart and also change apps, to test the multifunction capabilities if LG. It didn't always work as expected.

Cheers.

Viktor:

- while the TV was running

- I unplugged the power cord directly from TV

- after a few minutes put back in

- started the TV

 

Hope it will help you too.

Stop miss informing people.

How in the hell will unplugging the TV help with a memory leak?

Concerning the firmware version you just gave, the only thing it does is change the out of memory error with a different message; "app needs to be reset to free up memory"(how is that a fix?).

Also nobody has yet to confirm webos 2.0 hasn't got the out off memory issue too, so there's no need to be excited.

You sound like an lg fun boy or an lg correspondent. Which are you?

Lg is just using CNET to prevent people from returning their TVs on time. And therefore falling out of the warranty period.

      Just got a new 55in C4 and a Denon DHT-S316 Soundbar. With my very old LG I like to have the TV connected to the speakers during the day and in the evenings I would switch to bluetooth headphones. I could easily turn off my headphones and switch back to the optical sound output with no issues.
      However I tried this and while I connected my headphones with no issues, once I disconnected I couldn't get the sound to come back through the sound bar without having to with the TV and sound bar off which feels crazy at this point in time and the cost of the TV when my very old LG did this with now issues.
       
      Any suggestions much welcomed.

      I have a 65 Inch LG OLED evo AI C4 4K Smart TV 2024 - Model OLED65C4PUA.ACC. here have been a many weird things happening. This is one of them:
      I have 2 HDMI 2.1 cables attached to a Rogers Internet TV unit (HDMI 4) and the other 2.1 cable plugged into an XBOX Series X (HDMI 3). If the TV is on an HDMI 4 is active, and I turn on the XBOX (HDMI 3), the TV begins to swtich back and forth constantly and never ends until I turn off the TV. It will automatically switch itself from HDMI 4 to 3, then 3 to 4, then back to 3 again non-stop.
      If I power off the XBOX, this behaivor stops.
      Would anyone know why this does that? Is this a software or hardware problem? I tried to describe this to LG Support but they had no answers.

      With art’s innate ability to inspire and transform our perceptions on life, LG has long championed its intersection with the most cutting-edge technology. This commitment led to the launch of the LG OLED ART project, which showcases vibrant digital canvases that celebrate the beauty of art through millions of self-illuminating pixels. This initiative has already recreated several masterpieces from world-renowned artists and fostered collaborations with some of the most distinctive contemporary artists on Earth.

      In line with this initiative, LG Vietnam recently kicked off ‘The Future Becomes Now’ digital art exhibition on the first floor of Lotte Mall West Lake. This exhibition plunges visitors into the latest OLED masterpieces, highlighting a decade-long commitment to pioneering OLED technology.

      To curate one of the most interactive and multi-sensory art experiences the nation has ever seen, LG Vietnam collaborated with the skilled Vietnamese visual artists of Fustic Studio. The result is an immersive art gallery experience that guides visitors on a journey through the interconnectedness of all things, from the harmonious cycles of nature to the universe and technology.

      The artworks on display are being showcased on a massive canvas comprised of six expansive LG OLED TVs. Visitors can even add to each artwork’s beauty through interactive hand gestures inspired by LG OLED evo M4’s revolutionary Zero Connect technology. With cameras in front of the TV and a system behind tracking visitors’ movements, guests can create and interact with the artwork on the screen.

      One of the exhibition’s focal points is its multi-sensory experience space, which reflects a contemporary trend in art viewing that seamlessly integrates sound, materials and light. Visitors can fully immerse themselves in a futuristic vision where technology and digital data harmonize with nature and the universe. Fustic Studio drew much of its inspiration from LG’s dedication to pushing technological boundaries and enriching user experiences, particularly through the breathtaking beauty of LG’s OLED masterpieces.

      The exhibition also gives visitors the opportunity to explore the company’s newest OLED TVs, which come with comprehensive upgrades designed to meet consumers’ entertainment needs by excelling in four key areas: freedom, intelligence, immersion and style.

      In the “Beyond Freedom” zone, visitors can experience the world’s first wireless 4K 144Hz OLED TV, the LG OLED evo M4. This model uses the Zero Connect Box to eliminate clutter from wires and peripheral devices, giving home designers the freedom to install their TV wherever they choose. LG has also enhanced the user experience by applying the latest α (Alpha) 11 AI processor to its new OLED evo M4 and G4 series, enabling them to go “Beyond Intelligence.” This upgrade delivers four times faster AI performance, 70 percent enhanced graphics performance and 30 percent faster processing speeds compared to the previous generation.

      In addition, the 2024 LG OLED TV lineup promises to take users “Beyond Immersion” with screen sizes ranging from 48 to 83 inches. Even LG’s largest OLED TVs retain that trademark ultra-thin design, exuding luxury and making any living space sleeker and more stylish. The exhibition also introduced products that go “Beyond Style,” including the new LG Object Posé and LG StanbyME with various improvements. Among them, the newest Posé model uses a new OLED evo display as well as the latest Alpha 9 AI Gen 7 processor.

      The LG X Fustic Studio art exhibition highlights the close relationship between art and technology through truly inspiring works. Stay tuned to

      LG’s
      link hidden, please login to view is wrapping up in London this week with its final show of the year taking place at the renowned Saatchi Gallery before moving on to other regions in 2022. The show, Media Art; Reinterpreted Time, features digitally remastered works from the biggest names in contemporary art given new life by the Royal College of Art. Also on display are a curated selection of diverse works from up-and-coming artists such as Je Baak, Luke Stephenson and Ruofan Chen. Using LG’s self-lit OLED as a digital canvas, the artists deliver a range of unique perspectives on the concept of time through 20 LG OLED TV models including G1 Series OLED evo, Z1 Series 8K and LG SIGNATURE OLED R rollable TV incorporated throughout the exhibition. The OLED canvases’ immaculate picture quality blur the line between the real and digital worlds, perfectly preserving the artists’ creative intentions.

      Part of a new generation pushing the boundaries of fine art, the talented young artists represented at the exhibit are visual innovators whose work encourages audiences to consider new perspectives and reevaluate what they know. Je Baak’s acclaimed video installation series, The Moment & Morpho Luna, comprises data-based works of art he calls “metabio art” that looks at the biological causal relationship between the metaverse space and actual space. Three LG OLED TVs – models 65R1, 65G1 and 88Z1 – serve as the medium through which Je Baak communicates the core concepts of his work. It’s because of OLED’s ability to deliver vibrant colors, infinite contrast and flexibility that Je Baak is able to create a depth of feeling and emotion that is palpable to the beholder.

      The Moment & Morpho Luna, Je Baak
      In An Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds, noted British photographer Luke Stephenson portrays various species of birds, each capturing a specific moment in time while hinting at the tension that exists between nature and construct in his art. With exceptionally bright, sharp images, the four 77-inch LG G1 Series OLED evo TVs are able to accurately portray the dramatic colors and details that are the hallmarks of Stephenson’s work.

      An Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds, Luke Stephenson
      London-based artist Ruofan Chen presents a set of visually-striking pieces that speak to the emotional connection humans have formed with the natural world throughout time. Central to one of her exhibited pieces, the rollable OLED TV stands stoically between precisely-arranged tree branches, juxtaposing technology with life, inviting viewers to interpret the connection between the inorganic and the organic.

      The Warm Tree, Ruofan Chen
      Thanks to the involvement of Saatchi Gallery, the exhibition also features representative pieces from some of modern art’s most celebrated practitioners such as Damien Hurst, Yayoi Kusama, Banksy and Ufan Lee. Exposing new detail and nuance to allow viewers to look on the familiar with new eyes, selected works of the artists were digitally remastered by a team of specialists at London’s Royal College of Art, one of the foremost postgraduate art and design universities in the world.
      Beyond accurately reproducing the colors and textures of the originals, LG’s OLED TVs reveal new meaning in the remastered works, bringing the themes of time, life, death, infinity and resistance to the fore. It is the unique ability of OLED’s self-lit pixels to recreate the real, while simultaneously revealing elements previously unseen, that has media artists worldwide excited about LG’s next-gen displays.

      THE S/H/A/R/K, Damien Hirst
      LG will follow up on Media Art; Reinterpreted Time with a unique visual and spatial experience featuring a number of LG OLED TVs at the Saatchi Gallery. Through a series of successful exhibitions held over the year, the SELF-LIT OLED Art project has succeeded in bringing attention to digital canvases as an important aspect of cutting-edge modern art.
      Head to LG’s project to experience more of the world of OLED-inspired artwork.
