Post-Purchase Truths

G3: What to watch for

Hidden Cost
Zero tabletop stand included in the box.
Engineered as a flush gallery wall-mount TV. If you do not intend to drill into wall studs, the official LG swivel stand is an extra ~$149 purchase.
Hardware Quirk
Subtle green/pink tint shift at extreme off-axis viewing angles.
The Micro Lens Array (MLA) layer refracts light dramatically to boost brightness, but can introduce a mild chromatic tint when viewed past 45 degrees.

B4: What to watch for

Software / Apps
Smart TV interface runs sponsored ads and banner recommendations.
Like most modern smart TV platforms, the home menu highlights suggested streaming content and sponsored banner placement out of the box.
Ergonomics
Thin integrated TV speakers lack low-end bass punch.
Ultra-thin modern chassis leave minimal acoustic chamber depth, making a dedicated soundbar or audio system virtually mandatory for movie dialogues.
