LG 55SM8600P 55" 4K UHD HDR Smart TV

My  NanoCell 8 Series 55in TV has blown me away. It is super thin, 4K, bluetooth, WI-FI, LED, loaded with a variety of apps  and AI (artificial intelligence). I have used the "Magic Remote" for Google Assistant and I use my Alexa device with ease to control my new TV. 

After the initial quick set up with the universal  remote I turned my TV off to cook dinner for my family. Upon turning it back on I noticed a gallery feature on the screen. This feature made my TV look like a framed picture with a variety of sceneries. This was awesome and very unique.

The Nano color is mind blowing with deep rich, vivid true colors. I feel like I'm at a movie theatre with this 4k TV. Yes, this TV has changed my life for movies and everyday watching.

There is no lag time with it's Intelligent Processor. We enjoyed racing games over the weekend and I felt as though I was literally in the game.

The  Dolby Atmos sound is awesome. I feel as though I'm at a concert while watching music videos on You Tube.

I'm very delighted with the purchase of my TV and can't wait to discover more exciting features.

The LG Nano 8 Series 8600PUA 55 is amazing in all aspects. You definitely need two people to set up on wall. The picture quality is on a whole different level. The picture pops out on you. The television is so life like. There is no lag, it like your ate actually in the tv show! The colors a brilliant, unlike any other tv around! I have directv and I don't need their remote any longer. The remote that came with it synced right up to my receiver, awesome! I have little ones and they love that YouTube, and streaming! I am amazed at what technology can do these days! Highly recommend everybody to get one! I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion!!! #InsidersLGTV

I am so pleased with the picture clarity and ease of setup. I'm adjusting to the voice activated feature that is new for me.

I purchased this TV about a month ago and so far I am a LG fan.

My wife & myself love this LG TV. This TV is replacing a 7 year old LG 3D TV which we greatly enjoyed over the years. This new LG TV has a remarkable picture quality which at times thinking your watching a 3D TV. (BEAUTIFUL TRUE COLORS)

I purchased this tv about three weeks ago and have been very happy with the quality of the picture and sound.

Enjoying the crisp large screen picture, and great image quality. LG should have better integrated screen-casting. We chose to add a Chromcast dongle because the LG-casting app is not user friendly at all. Great Sound, and perfect image, almost cinematic with excellent depth.

The TV itself is gorgeous, and the picture is even better. Crystal clear 4K, vivid colors, and everything just pops off the screen. I use this as a monitor on steroids for my desktop PC, and I use it for everything – to work, to watch television, to game, and for hobbies - and it crushes all of those. Gaming and television, of course, look stunning, but it’s also fantastic as a monitor. I can multi task and have a ton of windows open simultaneously, all while being able to see everything individually. I also use this for 3D modeling, which is really helpful in being able to see minute details and to be able to have multiple models on screen for shaping. I can truly use this TV for everything, and everything looks beautiful. Colorful. Deeply detailed. Especially 4k rendered PC games at max settings.

Probably the only negative of this TV was the initial setup. For my needs, I just want to plug it in and go, but unfortunately, the first time you power it up, it starts with an unskippable wizard that wants you to set up every device imaginable… cable service, streaming service, Alexas, Rokus, you name it, and it was a little annoying having to find ways to skip those and to constantly say that no, I was not interested in setting up (insert device here, yes, I'm sure, please just let me proceed already. But it’s a very minor grievance, and not one that would stop me from raving about this TV, which is still, no question, the best in my household.

This TV replaced the 50 LG 4K TV I had in my bedroom for 2 years. I have a QLED in my living room from another manufacturer, and it is the product I compare my TVs too. Nano Cell vs QLED is a good comparison. I see a lot of comparisons to OLED and QLED, but I think it is a better comparison to for Nano Cell to QLED. OLED is of course going to have better blacks more vibrant HDR, but OLED is still prone to a lot of problems (burn-in and latency). These are not an issue on the LG Nano Cell TV. The response rate is phenomenal, the color accuracy is amazing, the Voice Assistant makes navigating the menus and finding more content to watch a breeze, and the audio quality was surprisingly great!

My previous LG 4K TV was never capable of being a TV for console games, the latency just held you back in competitive games, but on the Nano Cell, this is not at issue at all!

Having compared my QLED to my new LG screen, I could not observe any noticeable differences. They both do a great job in color reproduction, image quality, and image processing. However, the LG TV is much better at on screen navigation. The smart TV features just feel more snappy, and the motion remote is much easier to use.

I really love the way the Destiny 2 looks and plays . The response time in game mode is amazing and puts my other TVs to shame! I have enjoyed several seasons of The Man in the High Tower in beautiful 4K and stuffing HDR. Our 4K Marvel Movie binge before seeing the final Avengers movie had my partners jaw on the floor. We couldn't get past the exception picture quality and sound coming out of this TV.

We have always used high-end sound systems or soundbars in our home theater, but that has never really been the case with the TV in our bedroom. Our last TV we added a small soundbar, to help the weak speakers, but when we setup the new TV we were too excited and forgot to hook it up. We were shocked at how great the sound was coming from a TV with such a small bezel. I cannot recommend this LG TV enough!

I was so excited to receive my LG Nano 8 Series 8600PUA 55" but I made my husband wait until I got home to unbox it so that he couldn't see it before me. The TV itself is very lightweight and the stand is weighted and easy to install. I was replacing and older model TV with a picture that had been going out for some time now. We set the TV up and the first thing I noticed was the quality of the picture, which is amazing! I love the picture quality and the easy set up with the step by step guide once the TV is turned on. The picture quality is far better than what I had expected. The movies almost seem to come to life. It is very easy to find what we want to watch by using the Google assistant that is built into the remote. There are 4 HDMI ports for you to enjoy multiple games or devices without having to switch items around. The smart remote has a pointer that you can use just like a mouse to be able to connect easily to the items that you want. We do not subscribe to a cable service and have especially enjoyed the LG stations that are available with the TV. I could not have asked for better quality or sound than what we have experienced. This 4k TV is certainly an upgrade for my viewing experience. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion

We have been using our new 55" 4K Nano LG TV. Every day we find new and different feature of this great TV. The unboxing requires 2 people because, yes this TV is heavy to lift. Installation was a breeze, aside from a written manual the TV has a step by step installation video. Which made it super easy to complete the whole installment. TV comes with Netflix, Hulu, youtube and LG channels applications that are already integrated to the TV itself. The magic control is super amazing, to me it is just like a mouse for my TV so I found this super easy and practical. Not like other controls.
So this 55" 4k has an awesome screen panel, it has an edge to edge display. So it it basically more screen no unnecessary plastic around the screen. TV is about an inch thick yes an Inch. Design is contemporary and minimalist very chic and stylish. It has a middle stand that holds the TV as in other models that have the stand on the sides I think this design looks far more clean and aesthetically pleasing. I only wish the plastic was a bit stronger but that might be my only con on this particular TV. It has many slots for cables like USB or HD MI so you can connect any other elements you might want or need to connect. I found this very useful specially with a gaming teenager, Let"s just say he loves this TV.
The picture quality has the most vivid pure sharp colors. where you can differentiate the different shades of color, it looks super vivid and live like. We also noticed that the picture quality is the same from an angle through out the room, Which means you don't need to sit directly in front of the TV to see a clean sharp image.
The refresher rate in this TV is just a big perk which also includes Trumotion 240 (Native 120 Hz) just blew my son away he loves it, This has become his gaming TV plus its bigger than his Computer monitor so he just uses it a lot. The sound was another super plus on this TV, it totally emulates a Dolby surround sound its one of the best TV we have ever had.
This TV is good for any use you might have for it either Watching TV, Gaming, watching Movies, watch live events. It is just one excellent TV. "I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion"

I love everything about my LG TV, it is my first LG but if no problems come up it won"t be my last

This TV is easy to set up and has a beautiful picture quality. I enjoy the use of the mouse cursor via the remote.

Love the color and picture and ease of use. Am very happy with it.

great picture, easy set-up, great features. smart remote is fun to use.

Bought to replace a 2.5 yr old highly used LG 55' 8500 series that the screen was failing. About the same price of my previous LG but better picture and more features.

I purchased this set two weeks ago and I waited a week to make sure that I wasn't just enamored with the 55 inch screen since it was replacing a 43 inch set. The Nanocell picuture is fantastic even in a brightly lit room.

The 2019 LG NanoCell is an amazing TV for the price, and I wholeheartedly recommend.
I was immediately surprised by how thin the bezels and overall screen were. Set up is smooth thanks to the LG magic remote, which turns the remote into a sort of Bluetooth laser pointer. It makes putting in usernames and passwords for the WIFI and streaming services less of a chore- gone are the days of frantically clicking the remote arrows to navigate an onscreen keyboard.
All the major cord cutting services are available an app in the LG store (Hulu, Youtube tv, Netflix, Amazon, Plex, Sling, Youtube, Google play movies, etc). They all run buttery smooth thanks to the new A7 gen 2 chipset. In fact, that is one of the biggest takeaways I had after the first hour of playing around with the TV- the UI/ operating system is very snappy. It makes the smart tv feel feature complete- most smart TVs are a bit laggy as you switch between apps and use it as anything more than a screen.
It supports Dolby vision, HDR10, and HLG. Not worrying about the HDR format wars when buying a TV is a nice perk. Picture quality is stunning. The resolution bump up to 4k is nice, but the colors and contrast when you put on HDR content is mind blowing.
The 8 series NanoCell only has local backlight dimming instead of the full array dimming in the 9 series. This means there is less contrast between light and dark areas in a scene, as the entire vertical space above/below a bright object on screen is partially lit. LG has a great explanation of this if you web search “lg full array dimming.”
The built-in speakers are actually not half bad. You can customize the sound to your space through the TV- you place the remote on the table in front of where you normally sit, and the microphone in the TV listens to calibration sounds from the TV to give you the best possible sound.
The TV will pass through Dolby Atmos onto a sound bar or receiver from smart apps or other peripherals plugged directly into the TV. Sound can output through Bluetooth, optical, or HDMI ARC.
Overall- Great picture and features for the price, especially considering the marginal improvements in the 9 series. Feels like a true smart TV with the improved processor, leading to a very quick and snappy menus and apps. Supports the two most used HDR standards + Dolby atmos. If you go check out an OLED tv and don’t feel the price difference is worth the improved black contrast, this is the TV for you.

I BOUGHT THIS A MONTH AGO AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE PIC AND SOUND, HOWEVER, THE REMOTE IS ANOTHER STORY. THE REMOTE SAYS IT IS PAIRED YET WHEN I BRING UP THE GUIDE AND HIGHLIGHT THE CHANNEL I WANT TO WATCH ILL PRESS THE CENTER BUTTON YET NOTHING CHANGES. I HAVE TRIED EVERTHING TO GET IT TO WORK AND IT DOESNT SO I HAVE TO USE MY WOW REMOTE.

This is my first LG Smart TV purchase. I love all my LG phones and how clear the picture is and wanted to have another LG product in my house. LG has surpassed my expectations for a tv. I'm so impressed with the Magic remote. I absolutely love how you just point and click to type stuff in, especially useful for logging into stuff. So no more tedious spacing up, down, back etc anymore with this remote. The setup is so easy since "she" talks to you thru the whole process. The huge added benefit to me is being able to talk into the remote to look for movies. No more using and typing in the search bar! It even has a movies button on the remote plus Amazon Prime Video too! I setup my picture and sound whilea movie was on to get the best overall picture and sound I wanted when watching a movie. I can definitely tell a huge difference in color and contrast vs my other brand. The options on this tv to choose different types of color are amazing. I originally had it at HDR Effect then decided to go back to look at other options whole watching a movie. I was amazed at the different selections, how dark some were vs others. I thought Standard would be good until I ran across Vivid. For the movie I was watching, this really popped out and the color was impressive. I felt I could see things clearer than before with this option. I guess I will be researching more on the other options to get a better understanding of it all. I will say this, having additional settings for picture, such as the eye comfort mode is a huge plus. I have learned this with my LG ThinQ phone I have. I have never seen an option for MPEG Noise Reduction though, so this was a nice surprise to say the least. The Moion Eye Care is a added benefit to this LG TV. Another added perk to this
In regards to the sound quality, I was really impressed with the internal speakers on this vs my other tv. It sounds clear, as it should. I did have to mess around with it tho to get the best sound for a movie I was watching. I did have a home stereo unit hooked up for surround sound and really enjoyed that, but I needed it for my other tv and sound comparison in this with that was ok but I feel this tv has more options for sound quality vs my other. The surround sound was nice but the tv options and sound I feel was better than my home stereo unit.

There are just so many features to this tv that I have yet to discover. I will say that I plan on mounting this to the wall due to the stand for me is a little wobbly.

This is replacement TV I got thru my protection plan from DTV. Our 3 TVs were hit by lightening so we got this for 50.oo deduction. We love it

I replaced a LG 50 inch TV with a LG 55 inch TV and I am completely satisfied . In addition I purchased a LG Sound Bar, for better quality sounds.

The LG is a replacement for a 10 year old Vizio. I wanted to upgrade to have access to other streaming services and to get the latest in technology. I have had the tv now for a couple of weeks and I am very impressed with the quality of picture. I am just using the default settings, but it is awesome so far. I mainly use Netflix and Amazon Prime, but the apps on the LG tv work very well. The remote control is pretty nice as well.

My son compared many TVs before he recommended this model! He is very tech savvy and particular about quality!

So far we are very happy with this tv. We got the Nano 8 Series 8600PUA 55 and first thing we notice right out of the box is that the tv is light and thin. It was very easy to assemble. We found it easy to find the picture and sound modes and choose between them. Even so we know that a bunch of broadcasts are not in 4k and we had a 4k tv before, we immediately noticed a difference on the image quality with this tv. With this technology the colors really jump at you and has an amazing contrast. Also, it is possible to have very good and clear image even if you are not sitting exactly in front of the tv, but looking at an angle. We use this tv a lot to play games and another big difference for us regarding the image quality was when using our xbox. The images were really good and crisp and It's easier to read captions while playing games on this TV, so overall the visual experience is really good. Another feature we are enjoying is the Google Assistant. The remote control has an "audio" button that you can press to speak and ask google whatever you want, while watching tv. The tv has 4 hdmi and 3 usb ports which is also very good. We use this tv mainly to watch sports and play games and so far we are very happy with our experience.

This is the second HD TV I have owned the first, a 42LG70 which my father and I bought 10 years ago. And just like the first one, this one blows me away (In4K). Very easy to set up especially with Apple TV4K

Was not looking for a TV when I came across this. My TV was 12 years old and I did not realize how outdated it was. The picture on this TV is so clear and bright and can see things that I did not realize I was missing. The sound is great as well. Barely have to have the volume up to hear. What a pleasant suprise and worth it!

We replaced a 15 year old 37” LG that served us well with this new 55” 2019 model. The difference is like night and day.

Fantastic TV, setting up was very fast, except configuring with Google Home. I bought this 2 days back and liked the TV display/Menus/sound quality. All look great. Configuring Magic remote as universal remote for my devices were very quick. I am facing some difficulty on setting up this with Google Home (could be because this menu option is not listing for me in the "home", even though tv supports this. I called customer care now and waiting for an update from the tech support team to help on this. Once i am done with this I will be updating my review.

I have had this TV for one week and so far great, EXCEPT LG touts it has google assistant & Alexa built in, but Alexa currently does not work. According to Cust. service, their developers are still working on this and Cust. serv. will call me when it becomes available. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Other than that, this is my 4th LG TV ( 3 in the last 2 years) and LG doesn't disappoint. I have a 2017 OLED, 2018 43" UHD and now the 2019 Nano cell which replaces a 2010-55", and all work perfectly and provide a great TV experience.

Just purchased this TV on Saturday 4/13/2019. So far I love this tv it was an up grade for my 2014 sony first Gen 4 k tv. The colors are amazing I've played a couple of movies on it and I just can't believe how much better this TV is.
