Lgtv Arvostelua 481

Worst TVs ever. Buy anything else but LG. Confusing, unresponsive, errors, forget about the apps you might want, it's webOS so no Kodi or anything from Google play store. So many other problems detailed in other reviews. Beyond frustrating to the point of being soul crushing. If you bought a LGtv already, you have my condolences. Total waste of money.

Bought OLED48C 45L in august 2024. The remote control is awful, It jumps here there and everywhere and inevitably opens LG tv. Scan through for an app., guaranteed it will not open first time, press retry and you go back to the home screen and need to go through it all again. When it does open you will go through 4 adverts. At times the remote is so bad and after a stressful day, the temptation is to launch the remote at the TV, but this will probably open LG tv and another batch of adverts.
Press Pause and walk away, you will find it has restarted whilst away and is impossible to rewind, failing that it has crashed and some laughing gremlin is on screen with writing 'this programme has been interrupted by a technical stitch' ?? perhaps that is meant to be funny? more likely LG laughing at you for buying the rubbish.
Updates can be done whilst viewing TV, don't expect ANY improvements, it is likely a fresh batch of adverts to shove in your face and earn LG more money.
Seriously....DON'T buy, avoid a nervous breakdown.

I agree with all the bad reviews. I have two LGs and the web OS is terrible. Trying to get normal terrestrial TV takes forever. So cumbersome to switch between apps and antenna. Awful tv.

Worst TV i ever bought! This shouldn't be called a smart TV it should be a dumb TV because it does nothing to make searching easy. It's impossible to find any channel on this pos! It has channels listed like no other TV has and it's such a bad TV no matter how many times I try it can never find a simple search for anything. I.e. live hockey game going on that night, I tried all the channels I know it's aired on like CBS or NBC or channel 39,none are recognized by LG so it can't find them. Then I would make search easier, show me all live hockey games going on right now and nothing ever comes up. The voice option never works right and says try again later. Worst TV we ever bought. I will never buy LG again!!! I contacted LG too, useless as the TV.

Awful TV. You have to be careful pressing buttons on remote or you get cannoned off into LG TV.........with very difficult return to normal. It is too complicated for oldies. I will soon put my slipper through the screen. Most awful product I have bought in a long time. Currys recommended it for sat decoder. Never again.
Avoid these LG TV's at all cost.

2nd day, without changing our adding anything, tv was telling me that there wasn't enough memory to use apps? Then had to wait while it tried to make space, half an hour later it does it again. Software on my other LGs have been great, this new one is driving me crackers and will be my last one.

Absolute rubbish tv, buffering all the time slow to open apps. Tried everything. When can finally open app to stream if any advert then the buffering just carries on and on and on and never get programme to restart. TV doesn't recognise wifi password when it disengages from Internet at random even though other devices still connected. I never have this problem with my panasonic tv. I've set a date but this has gone on gor months now. A complete waste of money....don't buy LG

I am now being asked to tick ALL boxes of a 'User Agreement'. If I don't tick them ALL I am unable to connect to 'catch up' programmes... including Netflix which I subscribe to. Surely this must be illegal. I informed Netflix so they are now aware of this. I have an LG/Smart TV and am really angry. Have tried to report this to LG but website is not easy to get help on.

I recently bought an LG tv to to replace my Sony 49 inch Bravia which was a fantastic TV...very user friendly, fantastic picture and great upscaling. This TV is the opposite a complete load of -----! I can't even believe that you could make a more frustrating TV if you tried. I paid £400 for it 4 weeks ago and I'm currently trying to sell it for £200 with no offers so far. Next week, I'm going to advertise it free to good home or give it to a charity shop...it really is that bad! Rubbish

Absolute trash! Most of the apps I like to use aren’t available such as NBA, Directv and many others. If you purchase an LG tv dont be fooled by the WebOS & LG content. Just get a media streaming device like a Firestick, AppleTV or Roku. Save yourself a ton of frustration. LG content is crap!

Can someone explain to me why a TV manufacturer feels the need to force you to accept changes to the terms and conditions every time you turn it on? So I should get up and what? Go return a 5-year-old TV just because I don't agree with the terms? Are these people normal, or are they really so detached from reality? I really don't want anything to do with LG anymore. I only use the TV for playing on the PlayStation, I don't understand why my viewing device has to bother me with some terms and conditions.

Not older user friendly, as there is no shortcut on the remote control for turning the subtitles on.
Good sound quality and picture but seems to take a lot longer to respond than our old LG.
The screen advertising is really annoying as you can't access Live TV easily.

What a load of rubbish. Very sluggish operating system. Tonight they released a system update, which prevented the tv from receiving any tv signal. Just had to do a full reset. Save your money and buy a samsung!

My Honest Review: LG webOS – Outdated and Restrictive

LG’s webOS feels like a relic from 2020, struggling to keep up with modern smart TV expectations. While it was once a competitive platform, it now feels outdated, limited, and frustratingly restricted.

The Bad:
• No Google Play Store: This is a major drawback. Unlike Android TV or Google TV, LG webOS locks you into its own ecosystem, limiting your app choices to what LG wants you to have. No sideloading, no flexibility.
• Limited App Selection: Even though it has some popular streaming apps (Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video), it lacks the vast selection found on platforms like Android TV, Fire TV, or even Roku.
• Clunky User Experience: The interface hasn’t evolved much over the years. It feels sluggish at times and lacks the smooth, fluid navigation of other smart TV systems.
• Poor Customization: Unlike Android-based TVs, you can’t really tweak the experience to your liking. Want to install a third-party launcher? Not happening. Want more control over your apps? Forget it.
• LG’s Control Over Features: Some features (like certain streaming services or functions) are locked to specific regions, making it even more frustrating for users who want a truly open smart TV experience.

The Good (If Any):
• Magic Remote (If Your TV Has It): The motion-controlled remote is a nice touch, making navigation a bit easier.
• Good for Basic Streaming: If all you need is Netflix and YouTube, it works fine—but so does every other smart TV.
• Web Browser (Kind of…): It has a built-in browser, but it’s slow and barely usable for anything beyond basic searches.

Final Verdict: Not Smart Enough for 2025

LG webOS feels like an outdated, locked-down operating system that hasn’t evolved to match modern expectations. Without Google Play Store support, its app selection is weak, and the lack of flexibility makes it a poor choice for those who want more than just the basics. If you want a real smart TV experience, you’re better off with Google TV, Android TV, or even Fire TV.

60 inch TV.
Worked for 2 years then screen went black.
Contacted lg. They will fix it for £799. I can buy a new one for half the price.
Will not buy lg again. Have sent feedback to the company.
Doubt anything positive will happen.
Very disappointed.

Its hard to express just how bad this is.

Hosted apps continuosuly crash citing a network issue and requesting me to check my internet connection settings (there is never anything wrong with them). The apps caches the failed connection response meaning you have to log into a native app (e.g. iPlayer) which seeme to clear the cache and force the app you actually want to use to try again.

It forgets log in settings regularly, including network details, and hosted apps regularly freeze during ad breaks, presumably when there are no ads to show because advertisers don't want to be associated with anything hosted by LG.

Utterly digusted.

A terrible choice of operating system.
WebOS updates loosing previous settings, then it frequently crashes complaining about lack of memory for the Apps and when it is showing,say BBC1, then pops up a banner over live TV urging you to buy products.

Do not buy products from LG with this system! I'm reviewing the Sale of Goods Act to reclaim money as it's not of merchantable quality.

There is a current problem which has resulted in apps disappearing from the screen and an error message appearing. There are endless posts about this on Reddit but not a word from an official LG spokesperson. It follows on from a recent update that has resulted in the apps not working. Additionally the channel that first came on after this update was one that I have never ever looked at. Why was it there?

**update**
Well, I’ve had the LGtv for several months now and do quite like it.
I can control the TV, the Soundbar and the Sky box with just the LG tv remote.
I’m not changing the number of stars as it was trial and error and a lot of frustration that brought about what I now know and again would suggest that if they included some simple instructions they would rate much higher here as reading some of the other reviews it seems that the main issue is customer service.
***************
My JCV TV packed up and I was looking for a replacement and found a LG TV which seemed suitable.
There were some issues and it seems that a lot of people have the same ones so why don't they tell anyone how to resolve them?
Firstly, it just asks for a password to connect to the internet, if you take the effort of experimenting it will allow you to connect using a WPS button but it's not at all easy to find out how.
Then after about 10 days it disables all your apps as you've not agreed to their privacy terms.
Firstly, they don't ask you to do this when you first set it up and once it's shut you down it won't allow you to accept the terms and a quick internet search shows this is an extreemly common issue.
Eventually, after giving it a factory reset twice I managed to do it so the TV now seems OK.
To be honest, I came close to taking it back for a refund and a different make of TV.
All that is needed to fix this is for them to give some simple, basic instructions on how to set your TV up.
This could easily have been just one star.

Shocking TV had nothing but issues with it! Constantly crashing, unable to update apps, a mission to find all settings. Yet all other tvs and computers in the house work as they should. We have very strong internet and did all updates. Now to the point we can’t update ANY apps or watch anything! It’s going to the tip and We will never buy an LG TV ever again!
