LG 60LA8600 Pro Reviews

To be sure, this TV is not for videophiles. Its black levels are disappointing, the bloom from the LED edge-lighting is impossible for the trained eye to look past and the off-axis blurring can be annoying. For the average viewer, though, this TV offers an outstanding user experience. The Smart TV interface is easy to navigate, apps are easy to find, the remote control is excellent, the Wi-Fi signal is rock solid, the picture is bright and the color is excellent. Our family enjoyed having this TV and was sad to see it go. Were it not such a pricey model, we’d have no problem getting behind the purchase of a LA8600, but this set costs $100 – $500 more, size per size, than the competing Panasonic VT60, which is vastly superior in terms of picture quality. Also, just a couple of steps down in LG’s own line-up will offer many of the features found in this model, but without the hefty price tag. You just have to be willing to give up the sleek and slim look of the LG flagship. If outward appearance trumps picture quality for you, the LG LA8600 is your TV. It looks gorgeous, and it’s a terrific family TV thanks to its ease of use. You could certainly do a lot worse than this set; just know what it is that your money is paying for going into it.

Although its lovely frame is packed with well-executed features, the flagship-priced LG LA8600 series LED LCD TV has the picture of a midrange model.

The LG LA8600 series of HDTVs offers beautiful aesthetics, sharp 2D and 3D imagery, and rich color reproduction at a premium price. You get lots of features with this series, some of which are of questionable value.
