LG UT75 Series 65UT7570PUB 65"
The TV delivers excellent picture and sound quality, but users are overwhelmingly frustrated with the remote control. The standard remote has tiny, closely spaced buttons that are unusable in the dark, and it lacks the features of the Magic Remote, which is sold separately. Additional issues include frequent logouts from streaming services and a recent update that broke the ability to watch YouTube with the screen off.
Pros

- Great sound quality
- Good value for money
Cons
- Unusable remote in the dark
- Tiny, closely spaced remote buttons
- Missing Magic Remote features
- Frequent logouts from streaming services
- YouTube screen-off feature removed after update
