Hands-free commands worked reliably in the review that tested them, including from across the room. Voice recognition did not require unusually close positioning.
Pros: overall satisfaction, portability and versatility
Cons: value for money, menu responsiveness
Hands-free voice control is described as genuinely useful and convenient, especially because it works without pressing the microphone button.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: reliability, portability and versatility
Voice commands are recognized quickly and usually trigger the requested changes almost instantly.
Pros: peak brightness, picture quality
Cons: color accuracy, viewing angles
Voice recognition is reported to work effectively in quiet environments, though its natural-language depth is described as more limited than dedicated smart displays.
Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money
Cons: smart TV platform, blooming control
Voice interaction feels natural and responsive, but answers and streaming destinations are not always reliable. It is useful, though not dependable enough to replace manual search.
Pros: picture quality, value for money
Cons: stand quality, judder handling
Voice recognition is often accurate, but several owners report slow responses or Gemini activating when nobody intended to call it.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: reliability, build quality
Basic voice search can work well, but command recognition and AI responses are inconsistent. Copilot and hands-free “Hey LG” behavior felt unfinished on one unit.
Pros: picture quality, gaming performance
Cons: value for money, sound quality
Voice ID and queries have potential, but slow responses, limited language support, and inconsistent usefulness weaken the experience.
Pros: picture quality, peak brightness
Cons: value for money, sound quality
Voice recognition is far less consistent than voice capability. Complaints include false activations, wrong results, ignored commands, and needing to repeat requests or speak loudly.
Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, reliability
Voice control handles basic requests but can be inconsistent, particularly when asked to launch specific content in a named service.
Pros: glare resistance, black levels
Cons: Dolby Vision support, color gamut
Voice control was unreliable on one test unit, with voice search failing even though the remote appeared paired.
Pros: overall satisfaction, overall image accuracy
Cons: value for money, bass performance
