See what you can do with Alexa on your Smart TV
Purchased Feb 2023 and installed on the wall above our fireplace mantle. We had always planned on putting a thin TV or display there and were debating on a Samsung Fram or LG G2. After some research and looking at the two side-by-side in a local electronics store, we chose to go wit the LG. First, the picture quality is amazing. Also, the OLED is more durable than the LED and with little kids in the house, we wanted to make sure the display wasn’t damaged if something “accidentally” made contact with it. Or, at leas the damage would be more minimal.
We also really like that it has Amazon Alexa built in, however, and this is a big one, if you’re watching something and someone call to a different Alexa device in the room (we have two), the TV will for whatever reason respond nearly 99% of the time. When this happens, the show will keep playing but the audio will be Alexa. It can be annoying.
The sound is also amazing. We had originally ordered the matching sound bar but returned it after we were disappointed by the sounder quality and blown away by the sound from the TV itself.
The TV also comes with an awesome wall mount and template for hanging it. The actual hanging is a two person job but we found it to be rather straight forward. LG has also put together some great “how to” videos.
My one complaint is that to us, it look like the bezel around the screen es ever so lightly larger on one side. NONE of our guests have ever noticed but as well look at it more than they do, and we’re a bit nitpicky. But is that a show stopper, absolutely not.
In the end, the quality is top notch, it looks amazing, and everyone that comes to our home comments about how cool it looks and asks what kind it is.
Pros:
- Amazing picture quality
- More durable that an LED display
- Built in Alexa
- Amazing sound for the size
- Comes with a very low-profile wall mount
Cons:
- To us, it look like the bezel around the screen es ever so lightly larger on one side
- Doesn’t come with a stand/feet but for that there’s a different model you should get
- Alexa can actually be a little annoying if the TV responds when you thinking it will be a different echo device.
Would I recommend this item to a friend? Heck yeah. I’ve had so many comment on the picture quality and slim look.
