50LN5700
I just bought this TV last night, so I don't have a laundry list of
complaints or compliments. HOWEVER - I do not have cable or satellite -
I only do digital antennae and internet apps. This is TV #3 - #1 is a
Vizio with apps, #2 is an LG older model - I use with Roku. I was
looking for Vizio, as I love our Vizio...but decided to go with this LG
model because
#1: similar price as vizio model we were looking at,
#2 it has built n apps, (as does Vizio)
#3 it has an internet browser (vizio does not),
#4 we just bought an LG sound bar, and liked that all the LG things can be linked together.
#5 1080/120hz (vizio model also had)
So, I'm thinking that the two items that were different - especially that it has a web browser - was worth the extra $50 I spent for the LG. I really, really do like LG products - so it's all good.
ONE MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME - NO AMAZON APP. I cannot access my instant videos that I watch through PRIME on this TV. I emailed LG and got a very fast response and here it is:
I absolutely understand your concern, and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Amazon will be supported later on, there is no ETA on when the update is going to be available.
After looking at other forums online - this is basically the same response people have been getting since 2011. So, I'm not sure what's going to happen.
Anyway - I really wish I had known this before purchasing - not sure if I would have made the same decision, since internet apps is how we watch TV, and all the current and new releases are on Amazon, and I already subscribe to it.
Thought you should know, in case accessing Prime is important to you too.
