★★★★☆
very positive beginning
I have had this television for nearly a week. I had purchased a Samsung un65js8500 but returned it. Don't get me wrong the Samsung un65js8500(VA Panel) was a great set (excellent contrast) if you looking at it within the framework of the tv. But if you moved to an off angle even a little the picture color saturation de-graded a lot. I felt like I went from a 9 on picture quality to a 1, it was that bad. With my living room set up having a sectional sofa I just could not live with it. So a researched a lot and came across the LG-UH8500.I knew I needed a television with an IPS Panel to widen the viewing angle, since most all televisions with the VA(Samsung & Sony) would not work due to poor angle viewing, and the OLED at $5000.00 would be to much to spend. The operating system on this unit in my opinion is excellent. I love the remote, operating system on the television is very quick and responsive. All the latest is in the television, but that means nothing if the picture quality is not up to par. So now for the big picture. Hooked this baby up used RTINGS setting and I was so disappointed. The picture was dull and flat. Played with the setting for 3 days and finally came up with a picture that was very impressive. It does not have the contrast of the Samsung I returned, but I knew that and was hoping for a good quality picture and I found it. Is was not easy to set at all. Even the contrast was pretty good for a television with a IPS Panel. Keep in mind I like a picture that has some pop. Nice vibrant color without being over saturated. The Dynamic setting on this set was way to much. This is what I came up with for setting. If you have this television please give them a try I don't think they will disappoint at all. And by the way this unit up-scales 4K much better the Samsung. Really Nice.
