Word to the wise-think twice about buying an LG TV - anonymouse1 - 02-25-2022
A friend's brother bought one, and he is going through the torments of hell, and a bunch of folks have been roped in to help him.
The problem is that even though the TV works fine with a DVD player, and recognizes that there's a PC plugged into it, it refuses to show the image from the PC. The PC was connected to another monitor and another 4K TV, and worked fine.
I tried to help, and downloaded the manual. What a clusterfck! As best I can make out, you need to download an app to your iPhone or Android phone to use most of the features! And the manual is a total mess-badly translated from Korean, confusing, and pretty much useless.
I have a TCL and Vizio at home, and while they're not models of clarity in the user interface, they're at least usable.

You should probably list the model. I bought an LG C1 and it's an outstanding TV. I have wireless router playing back FIOS, playback with airplay, and a Roku box into HDMI. All are fine.

Yeah, it's hard to ascribe awfulness based on this situation.

I have two LG 4K TVs, connected to multiple inputs including cable box over the RGB / RCA style cables, computers inc. Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Raspberry Pi, XBox, bluray player.
Yes I think for over the air "screen sharing" you need an app for Android and Windows; my newer LG supports AirPlay 2 but it seems to stutter somewhat coming from a wifi iOS device...
Other than that, no real complaints - and mine are the cheap models. In fact the only regret was not buying another firesale-priced costco unit available in mid 2020. 42" for $250 or 50" for $350.

:agree:
Own two LG's & very happy with them from day one.
ftr, I will never buy any Vizio product again. Worst TV and worst
customer service I have ever experienced.

Try another HDMI cable. If that doesn’t work, have him call LG and get it fixed under warranty.

Love my 2017 LG OLED TV. Not a single problem with it.

Mine every time the DVD is hooked up it wants to default tp playing it . Have to unplug to stream . Sometimes when streaming it will keep going back to a previous channel . Change it 10 times and just goes back . Only way to stop it it is shut down for 5 min .

We have five LG tv's in our house and I have no complaints. Only one has required warranty work and it was honored far past it's actual warranty.
