Opinions from the LG 49SM8500
Yandex.Market data
Advantages:
Honest 100 HZ IPS RGB matrix without a white subpixel, for this money competitors offer a maximum of 50/60 Hz High-quality and juicy picture, pleasant natural colors. 4k and HDR content looks very realistic Remote with a pointer is beyond praise, after it the usual will seem like the last century Responsive and nimble OS on an updated processor Decent sound for TV. There is a little lack of volume and bass, but this is not a home theater for you Omnivorous media player with support for most formats (the previous TV from LG did not read the DTS codec, which made it inconvenient to find movies) Design and thin frames. As for the back cover, I have not yet understood whether it is metal or plastic. But judging by the fact that when I brought the TV from the cold, it was cold - still metal. There is a headphone output, which means you can connect your own acoustics if you wish
Disadvantages:
The biggest fly in the ointment is uneven backlighting and unpleasant gray highlights. But they are noticeable only when viewed at night in dark scenes; when checking TV in a store, they were simply not visible. Strange work of true motion presets: if any fast actions occur in the frame: for example, when you watch a box, it is as if trains are drawn from your hands. Achieve a more or less even picture was obtained only with manual settings. 8 bit matrix. A similar model of 2018 49SK was with a full 10bit matrix. Buying an updated version, you still expect improvements in characteristics, and not vice versa, there is no USB 3.0. The built-in browser is limited in functionality and is a bit dull. Small selection of apps in the LG content store
Comment:
In general, if you put up with the light, TV is very good. I bought for 43k + gave a certificate for 5k as a gift, for this price it is quite a worthy choice.I think it's not worth overpaying for the 9000 series - it's better to take a good soundbar or speakers for the difference in price.

Advantages:
The quality of the picture, the colors are real, the brightness is enough with a huge margin, black is black (dimming works with a bang and without problems) smart on the last update flies simply, a very convenient remote control, Matrix 120Hz, checked in game mode via hdmi 2.0 1440p at 120Hz! 4k only at 60Hz TC hdmi 2.0, the sound is gorgeous. In general, there are no better options for this price. DOES NOT heat up, the body is metal, a little warm during long viewing.
Disadvantages:
Reviews are the main drawback, because of them I was worried that the TV would have problems, I checked the pancake for 30 minutes in the store. There are no highlights and pillars here, no afterimages. Simply put, negative reviews are written only by haters and those who decided to save money and buy in an incomprehensible store with a questionable product.
Comment:
for 40,700, I took a flash drive with tests for literally everything, passed all the tests and took him home with peace of mind.

Advantages:
People, the remote control is just a fairy tale !!! The image is just awesome. In fact, I bought two TV sets 8200 for my mother-in-law and 8500 for myself. I don’t regret it at all.
Disadvantages:
Megogo hangs constantly, although on Samsung, my daughter works fine. I had to connect another static code from the provider (MGTS). Only after that MEGOGO started working without freezing. I don’t know why, Samsung previously worked fine with Megogo with dynamic code, but with LG it was an ambush!
Comment:
I am actually very satisfied!

Advantages:
Appearance Sound Remote
Disadvantages:
Content from YouTube in 4K is difficult to watch, it seems to me that 100 Gy is not here
Comment:
Nice TV but expected more. I took it for 45 thousand. I can imagine that for 4K I would be on TV for 34 thousand.

Advantages:
100 HZ IPS RGB matrix without a white subpixel, for this money competitors offer mainly a maximum of 50/60 Hz High-quality and juicy picture, pleasant natural colors. 4k and HDR content looks very realistic. I watch movies and stuff in HDR mode. The remote control with the pointer is beyond praise, very convenient, I bought a mouse from the USB right away, it turned out to be unnecessary. Responsive and nimble OS on an updated processor There are no brakes. Everything flies.
Disadvantages:
Highlights around the edges, but only visible against a dark background.
Comment:
I bought it at the beginning of the year 2020. I chose between this 8500 and 9000, the difference is only in the frequency of 100 and 200 Hz and speakers of 20 and 40 watts. I have an Edifier s760d 5.1 550wt connected to a 10m optics TV set, so my native speakers are not interesting to me, the sound in them is poor. The picture is juicy, turned on the HDR mode. The settings are flexible. Connected via Tp-link Archer c6 gigabit router. Everything flies. I watch both movies and through the Wi-Fi network (computer) films and series, photographs. Everything works well. I took it for 41,300.
