Aiwa 4K Smart TV AWS500QW (50”)

After owning fir a few months I think its time I gave a review. The tv comes with the LG operating system. HubOS. While the picture is ok the tv is very slow. Often runs out of memory forcing app to restart without warning. The inbuilt LG channels are slow to boot and some channels have the most annoying music inbetween where advertising would normally play. App store is extremely small. NVIDIA games wont play without paid subscription. I will be buying an android stick to use via hdmi rather than put up with a lazy OS. 4gb ram for a tv in this age is ridiculous especially when apps draw so much memory leading to an app reboot. Sound is ok, not great. Better to run it through a sound bar. Bluetooth speaker lag is apparent too meaning voice is out of synch with picture. The tv has frozen five times leading to pulling plug to get it to reboot. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this tv. It might be ok with android. The lg OS is just too slow. Edit 16 jan 2025. The tv keeps reverting back to headphones when none are plugged in. I think its time I return it. Edit 13 Feb 2026. TV is developing bright areas across bottom and top about an inch wide. I think its time I return it.
