I only have basic needs with a TV (don't need Alexa, or streaming etc) but did want access to Free View to watch catch up TV for Iview and SBS on Demand. I was surprised to find a lot of new TVs don't support this anymore, so decided on the LG, which does. As I have basic TV needs I was going to go with a TCL or Hisense but the stores were vague on whether they supported FreeView or not. It's been difficult to actually find a smaller TV as local stores have no stock, and if they get anything in, they sell out immediately.

I finally got to see the LG and found the picture to be excellent, and realised all I had been missing out on compared to my old TV. For example, there's a TV ad with a girl wearing yellow pants and I didn't realise the pants had stripes on them until now - there is such a big difference in picture quality. I have found that the sound is ok. Speech is fine, when watching the news for example but music and movie soundtracks are not as good, especially the bass. After a bit of experimenting I've settled on 'cinema mode'. If you watch a lot of movies or games you may want to consider a sound bar. The TV was easy to set up and tune the channels straight out of the box, and connect to the internet. The "magic" remote control is easy to use, with a pointer on the screen. It's easy to find everything on the 'aps' page with Netflix, Stan, Disney, Apple TV, Time Video, Google Play etc etc - if you use them - I don't.
