If I should evaluate the device only in terms of its functionality as a display, it is definitely TOP for the price. Really very nice picture with color rendition, but also sound that can roar nicely and even at higher volumes has a nice bass presentation without rattling and other manifestations. And in those respects, replacing it with the original very old (and very small) 32" LG is a big leap forward. Here I am excited. In terms of further functionality, it is unfortunately not so glorious. Where to start. The remote control is very unsuccessful - pressing each button is accompanied by a very audible and after a while annoying click. The remote control, or the TV, cannot switch between the last two channels (Q-View). Due to previous inexperience, I chose Android OS when choosing a TV, which I consider a bit of a mistake in the interface aspect. The system as such runs quite briskly and even if it does lag occasionally, it's nothing terrible. The ability to install other apps is nice. You can't expect everything from GooglePlay to run there, but otherwise you can find a lot of interesting apps. However, being spoiled by the AI of the previous (over 10 years old! ) LG TV, I miss some basic functionality and I have to say that the original TV had a more polished interface despite its age. First of all, I'm very bothered by the EPG scrolling, where the movement between channels switches immediately, so I can't just look around at programs of nearby stations with the original channel still running in the background (the mini-PiP in the EPG can't do this). I'm downright annoyed by the inability to mark a future show in the EPG and its automatic switching at its start time (I used to use that a lot). The display of information about the current show has a pretty short timeout, where I don't even have time to read the info. GooglePlay does provide alternative apps for LiveTV, but these are often even worse than the original (I've tried quite a few) and always show the "Live Channels is deprecated" message. TV can't detect DLNA on the network in the source selection and you have to go through an app (e.g. VLC), on the other hand at least it can be pulled up on HomePage. It seems to me that the manufacturer didn't give the system any invention of its own and just folded the telly like a lego, threw Android into it and went from there. On the other hand, maybe it's better that it's not cluttered with uninstallable bloatware. But I don't expect any system updates. Other non-live-tv (3rd-party) apps are great and you can see much higher HW performance (compared to the old TV) - e.g. Netflix is a whole other dimension. Connecting via ChromeCast is great, and although it's not native, you can teach AirPlay to your TV via apps. But the internal storage is really pitifully small, most of it is eaten up by application data (GooglePlay is literally greedy) and the system only supports the outdated FAT32 on external storage (but what I read from competitors, it's the same everywhere), however, when there is a Linux base running, I really don't understand the absence of at least Ext3FS (a really big failure when I can't get a 4K movie on a 4K TV except over the network). Android sometimes has a life of its own, with the TV turning itself on at random intervals (I've excluded the driver, removed notification permissions from all apps, and cancelled HDMI-CEC. still the same) - I finally found out that the problem is caused by the connected USB-Flash drives (I tried three of them and it was the same for all of them). I'm at a loss here - either I'll expand my storage and the TV will haunt me by turning on, or I won't be able to install more apps. A connected flash drive set as primary storage is always re-detected after turning on (waking up) the TV and annoys you with a message until it is connected. I was looking forward to KODI (I know from PC), but it can't detect the internal tuner on Android (my fault for not finding out sooner). Conclusion: I've given a lot of thought to returning the TV, but in the end it's definitely not bad as a display, and I can solve most of the problems that bother me with an alternative driver and via a connected RPi with a TV-Hat or better TV stick. I probably wouldn't completely recommend buying this TV to a discerning TV viewer, given my experience, but an undemanding user might be quite impressed.

price versus performance
possibility of installing many applications incl. her
Noisy remote control
almost to very unsuccessful EPG
impossibility of timing the show switching
tragically small internal storage
support for FAT32 external storage only (2GB limit per file)
random spontaneous switching on of TV with USB-flash connected
constantly reconnecting external primary storage after waking up the TV
Android does not enable TV tuner to KODI
