What Buyers Say
Hisense U8 Series 65U8QG 65"
The Hisense 65U8QG is widely praised for its exceptional picture quality, brightness, and value for money.

The TV's Google TV interface and gaming features like G-Sync and HDMI 2.1 are also well-received.

LG PK340S 55"
The LG 50UM340E commercial TV has received very poor feedback from users, with one verified reviewer citing severe limitations such as no scheduling for power on/off, unresponsive management software, and incompatibility with third-party apps. Another review is invalid as the product was never delivered, and a third is misleadingly positive but lacks detail. Q&A confirms it cannot be mounted vertically and provides basic specs, but the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly negative due to critical missing features.
Pros
- USB playback support
- Built-in digital signage features
Cons
- No power on/off scheduling
- Unresponsive management software
- Incompatible with third-party apps
- Cannot be mounted vertically
- Useless manual
