Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 70-inch screen provides a large, immersive viewing experience at a budget-friendly price point
  • Built-in Google Assistant and Alexa eliminate the need for an external smart speaker for voice control
  • Direct-lit backlight delivers more uniform brightness than edge-lit alternatives
  • HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping optimizes each scene's brightness and contrast automatically
  • LG ThinQ AI platform provides a unified interface for streaming apps and smart home control

👎 Cons

  • Native 60Hz refresh rate may produce visible motion blur during fast-paced sports or action content
  • Standard LED LCD panel lacks the deep blacks and contrast ratios of OLED or QLED displays
  • HD+ resolution at 1600x900 would have been a concern but this is 4K — however, limited local dimming zones reduce HDR impact
  • 45% NTSC-equivalent color gamut on budget LG LED TVs limits color vibrancy compared to higher-end models
  • Quad Core Processor is adequate but slower than LG's Alpha series processors found in premium TVs

Frequently Asked Questions

The TV has both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built in through LG's ThinQ AI platform, so you can use voice commands to control the TV, search for content, and manage compatible smart home devices without a separate speaker.
It supports HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) through its 4K Active HDR system, with HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping that adjusts brightness and contrast on a scene-by-scene basis.
The native panel refresh rate is 60Hz. The TruMotion 120 rating refers to LG's motion processing technology that simulates a smoother image, but the physical panel refreshes at 60 times per second.
It uses a direct-lit LED backlight, which places LEDs behind the entire panel rather than just along the edges. This generally provides more uniform brightness across the screen compared to edge-lit designs.
It uses a Quad Core Processor to handle picture processing, upscaling, and smart TV app performance.
