45 of 51 people found the following review helpful Good TV but very clumsy "Smart" features & interface, March 25, 2012 By  Michael Sandman (Brookline, MA United States) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: LG 42LS5700 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV (Electronics) The LG LS5700 is an OK TV. If I could, I'd give it 2-1/2 stars. The LS5700's selling point is supposed to be the "smart" features that let you connect to the Internet, get content from Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. and share content from other devices in your network. It does have a nice crisp HD picture after you tweak the color settings, and so-so sound, as expected. But if that's all you want in a TV there are less expensive alternatives. Unfortunately, the interface for using the "smart TV" features is very clumsy. And although the manual does a good job of showing how to connect the TV, it has almost nothing on how to use the "smart" features. The built-in menus are supposed to do that. The on-screen menus and LG's online support are minimal at best, and just plain wrong in one case (see below). On the plus side, the TV connected easily to my home network, using either WiFi or an Ethernet cable. And the "smart" features do work, if you can stand the interface...

This review is from: LG 47LS5700 47-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV (Electronics) The television itself is great, and Netflix works like a charm. But there is NO access to Amazon Prime Instant Videos through this television, which I find incredible and inexcusable. (Review written on April 14, 2012.)

This review is from: LG 47LS5700 47-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV (Electronics) "Magic remote" is pretty annoying. TV itself seems to be good - reasonable sound, reasonable image. I decided to buy this model because of good viewing angle range and better than average sound. I do not care much about the 3D features that manufacturers are promoting. Please note - the "magic remote" was the only one provided. IMHO this is one of those occasions when being cute and creative trumped being useful. I really wish I would have a more traditional remote together with this TV. Changing options and settings is not very easy.
