Great Value
Now owned for 8 months and very happy.
Great value at the $1370 I paid, even at the higher price quoted here still good. I haven't ever owned an LG product before because of the disastrous crap the used to put out under the name of Goldstar, some two decades ago. Only after numerous people told me how good they were now, I dared look at this manufacturer again and I am glad I did.
This TV is not the best of the best but the quality of picture along with loads of functions and ease of use make it GREAT BUYING. Anybody wanting better has too much money this one does the job for me and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.
Purchased in February 2020 at The Goodguys for A$1,369.00.

Great display, great remote, very easy to use
I decided on the LG after reading lots of reviews and store visits to compare and contrast. First of all the TV itself. It's light, it's slim and importantly the stand it comes with is centre focused. By that I mean that is doesn't sit on 2 wobbly legs right at the edge. I had budgeted another $100 or so for a stand, but found it wasn't needed at all. And all your cables can be hidden nicely in the pillared foot, no more spaghetti. When on standby mode it turned on in about a second. No long waits for for startup. The menu's themselves are intu...Read more
itive and it's easy to navigate your way around. Best of all the remote is brilliant. Including a pointer that makes navigating a breeze. And the remote works on RF rather than IR, no more pointing the remote at your set, no more making sure nothing is in front of the sensor. Without using the manual, I had it up and running TV, blu-ray and computer HDMI in less than 10 minutes. The sound is fantastic too. It's no Single Ended Triode, but offers a quality full range experience. Again I had budgeted another $200-$300 for a sound bar, which wasn't needed. If you want more sound, just connect it to your HiFi. The only thing I have had trouble with is setting up an external SSD recorder. It doesn't like drive formats such as ExFat or NTFC. But that could be my fault due to my limited knowledge of recording TV programs. So overall a very positive experience. I have no problem recommending the SM8600 to anyone. Much, much better than TCL, Kogan and other budget brands. It costs a little more but you will be well rewarded in the long run, and I did save $300-$400 because I didn't need a sound bar or a stand.Purchased in April 2020 at JB Hi-Fi.

Excellent Quality
Difficult not to find anything wrong with this 75 inch TV, as every function and setting on the remote seems fast and accurate after playing around with the TV settings when playing 4K bluray movie for example, while Panasonic 4K player HDMI setting is on RGB standard, TV settings are maximum for backlight, contrast and colour on cinema user mode for incredible cinema film quality picture and sound. Black bars above and below the movie can be removed by the TV's vertical zoom setting.
Super UHD is definitely better than standard UHD and I am g...Read more

Great tv for bright living room.
Happy with tv, bought for a bargain price of $1095 in the eBay 20% off sale. Bright picture, good content and webos very easy to use. I use it in a bright living room so picture is great. As it's an IPS panel at night time the blacks aren't super black but it's great for my needs. Limited apps in the lg app store for Australia. Missing Optus sports , kayo etc... Have used a Chromecast to get around this but would prefer more native apps. Sound is loud, rarely have the tv above 25 don't need a soundbar with this tv unless your want to fully utilise the Dolby Atmos features.
Netflix 4k and YouTube apps all work great. Even the standard fta channels are reasonable, the fta HD channels look great too.
Overall happy.
Purchased in August 2019 at Ebay- videopro for A$1,095.00.

Craigasked
Is there any way of getting Dolby Atmos from this TV onto Sounbar?
Just bought new TV today for my wife - early Mum's day gift. We were looking for a big TV and wanted to enhance with a Dolby Atmos compatible soundbar. I am about to fork out $1450 for a Samsung q90r soundbar but when I was checking the audio settings on the tv the menu indicated Atmos not for external speakers. I'll be disappointed if we can't get the full potential out of this TV. Seems like a reasonable TV picture but standard sound whilst being clear, lacks any punch.

I was thinking of buying the 75 inch Ultra HD TV but saw a very poor review where the buyer experienced poor blacks with white streaks , ghosting (?) which forded them to get a refund from JBHiFi. But other reviews seemed OK ?. So can you comment please. Thanks, Steve

Similar issues with my 55” although it doesn’t bother as much as it’s in my sons room. I’d get the Samsung equivalent if purchasing again.
Which Samsung model would you recommend ?. I’ve done so much on-line research given the amount of cash needs to pay out nowadays I’m becoming a tad confused !
I had an issue with LG SM86000 65 inch. After months of efforts, got a refund. Please have a look at my review for details.
If you do not mind the black bleeding, other colors are very good.
I bought a Samsung QLED Q80 65 inch. It works very well. None of the issues like the LG.
