Review on πŸ“Ί LG 24LM530S-PU 24-Inch HD webOS 3.5 Smart TV by Troy Hamilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Superb 24 inch Smart TV

We bought this TV a month ago. It's been over a decade since we last bought a TV and the difference is huge. Smart TVs are amazing, almost. good details. This 24LM530S model is by far the best in this category. It solved the audio problem of the 24LM520S with a 5W speaker, not 3W. The well-designed base is much better than the competitor's four-legged support to put it in a corner of table or desk. So why not rate it a 5? First, the image looks more pastel and not as bright as it could be, but I may need to adjust the image settings. The real reason for the 4 is LG's discrimination against Apple. As with all smart TVs, setup is difficult. Too many options. But LG apparently paid Netflix to have Netflix automatically first. Hopefully I can find a setting to change that. And I hope that I can also find ways to rearrange all available tabs. However, Apple's discrimination is evident in the LG Screenshare tab, which makes it easy to share the screen of any computer connected to the same Wi-Fi. Almost every. Not apple. Android and Intel devices only. It's crazy. Try screen sharing on an iPhone, iPad or iMac and you'll need to download 3rd party apps which also need to be installed on the TV but I have yet to figure out how. Doesn't LG know the real world?
