Hard to read the "Light Colored Red" FN keys on the keyboard due to color and how small they are printed. Since the keyboard does not light up then it is impossible to read in a dark room. I suppose that's what cell phone flashlights are for. Google TV works perfectly fine. It allows my wife to surf German websites and watch all of her shows. Of course, I am still working out some of the small issues such as: When turning on the TV it sometimes changes channels after 10 seconds of first coming on. I have TIVO as a DVR. Trying to figure out all of the buttons on the LG remote to control TIVO is like a nightmare. I still can't figure out how to program the LG remote to operate the DVD player. I suppose if I read the manual I might figure it out. More to follow if the manual actually helps.

Any drawbacks? One I've noticed is the matte finish on our Sony Bravia got rid of the glare that we see on this LG. While this television is not quite the mirror finish I see on some televisions, it does reflect quite a bit of light compared to a matte finish. That's all right, though, because I've gotten used to the glare and do not notice it anymore.
Another drawback (for me at least) is the dimming of the display when the ambient light in the room is low. I'm sure there is a way to adjust that, but I have not found out how. When the light is low, the television brightness is too low, so I switch on a light to keep the room a little lighter.
One final drawback--our Sony television sits rock solid on its stand. This television moves left and right if touched or bumped. It seems very stable, and that movement seems to be a feature, not a bug, that is intended to give the ability to swivel the television on its stand. But we have no need for the swivel feature, and it is a little disconcerting to feel this big and heavy device move when you touch it. A stable stand would make it feel more secure.
The remote control takes a little getting used to. It's compact and cleverly built, and apparently LG has been improving the functioning over the years since it was introduced. But I thought it would be easier to use than it is. I rarely use the Internet on the television for anything other than the simplest of tasks. It's much easier to just get a laptop and use that. That's unfortunate, because it's rather fun to use this big screen as a computer.
The 3D technology was quite dramatic the first time I used it. It's a stunning experience to have that technology in our own living room. But after watching a few of the samples that can be accessed through this television, I have not used the 3D function at all. It may still be a while before 3D technology grows to be more than a curiosity. It would be fun to watch a hockey game filmed and broadcast in 3D, but that's still in the future.
There are lots of features and tuning available with this television. We have not done much with any of it, since we have been satisfied with the color and look of the television out of the box. The sound too is quite impressive, and we do not use separate speakers. In all, we are very satisfied with the television, and consider it a big step up from our previous television, now demoted to a bedroom.

Out of the box, the tv looks sleek and clean. The setup was fairly easy. The most difficult aspect was getting it connected to our wifi as it didn't originally want to connect. Eventually, it decided to connect, so we were able to try out some of the different apps offered with the tv. This is probably one of our favorite aspects of the tv as it allows us to watch things through Netflix right through the tv and not have to use the bluray player for this function. At first, the 3D option was not functional, but that has since been corrected with a firmware update. (If you want to be able to fully use all the functions on this tv, you will need high speed internet.)
The remote is pretty cool with the traditional remote on one side and a keyboard on the other side. We have found it to be a bit glitchy at times. As in, it has lags or just doesn't want to function properly. It has a pointer (think computer mouse) that is not always easy to use. We pretty much have a love/hate relationship with the remote. When it works, it's wonderful. When it doesn't, it a royal pain.
We've been using the tv for several months now as I wanted to give the company time to take care of the glitches prior to writing the review. I'm glad that I did as they have sent out updates to correct some of the main issues that we experienced when the tv first came out. For me, having a company actually sending out updates on products is very important.
The picture quality isn't quite as good as some of the higher end tvs that are available now, but it's still quite good. You may or may not be able to have googletv fully functional depending on your cable/satellite provider. In our case, we have Dish which does not allow for their programming to be incorporated into the tv's googletv option.
Overall, we like the tv and think (at the time of this review) that it's a good value for the money.
