The LG OLED TV is Bigger and Better Looking Than Ever

January 25, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The 77-inch LG OLED tv brings the movie theater experience home. I have a ton of LG products in my home so I guess you would say that this is one of our preferred brands. I always find that I look to LG when I am looking for technology that brings design, value, and top notch innovation and LG always delivers on this.

All of the TV’s in my house in the past have been smaller but recently I’ve been looking at moving things around and replacing an older TV with a much larger one and this 77’’ class LG OLED C8 TV that I recently saw at Best Buy just blew my mind. This TV was huge and in watching it I could tell that this TV would definitely give an amazing home theater experience, which is perfect for my family!

The color and clarity on this TV was remarkable. As I sat and watched the TV at the store I found that the larger screen truly drew me in. The TV works with all technology and makes 4K movies, TV shows and more explode on the big screen.

The LG OLED TV’s advanced HDR also enhances each scene to 4K quality, and its stellar Intelligent Processor completely maximizes picture quality by producing images with vibrant, rich colors, not to mention sharpness, and depth.

Even better is that you can also get this TV in both a 55 and 65 inch screen, so no matter what size you are trying to find you have a lot of great options.  Some of the models are below.

  • Model: OLED55C8PUA (SKU: 6202832)
  • Model: OLED65C8PUA (SKU: 6203009)
Not only does this TV have amazing color and clarity but it is also a very smart TV. LG TVs with AI ThinQ® have Google Assistant built right in, so you can control your compatible smart home devices using just your voice!

I also talked to the Best Buy employee at the store and found out that you can create a hub for smart devices in your home. I love that it works with my Amazon Alexa. (DISCLAIMER: Service limited to certain languages. Some features require 3rd party service subscription. Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices sold separately.)

You can even control your TV with voice commands to change picture settings (ex. movie mode, game mode, sports mode etc.), change the volume of tv, search for shows and movies, control compatible connect home devices with ease. This is not something that I have in my TV now, but I love the idea of having this new control! Like many other TV’s this new LG OLED TV also allows you to launch apps like Netflix, Hulu, and much more.

Beyond all of this I had already mentioned there is great clarity on this TV. The LG OLED TV has 8.3 million individually lit pixels that can brighten, dim or power off completely. This achieves the perfect black and displays a level of picture detail impossible with any other television technology.

All of this helps to match the level of color vibrancy and recreates your cinematic experience as intended by filmmakers which any movie lover will completely enjoy.

The last thing I will mention is how thin this TV is. When you first see this you truly marvel at how thin it is. It has a sleek, slim form and the ultra slim design goes with any room. Because of how thin it is the LG OLED TV can be easily wall-mounted or you can place it on a stand.

Other fantastic features:

  • Cinematic Sound at Home with Dolby Atmos®: Dolby Atmos transports you with moving audio: crickets chirping all around, a monster roaring from behind, or a plane soaring overhead.
    Dolby Atmos content creates a more detailed sound experience that appears to come from everywhere for a wonderfully realistic, immersive experience that puts you inside the story.  *
  • Premium Content choices: LG OLED TV with AI ThinQ® features comprehensive support of major high dynamic range formats including Dolby Vision™ HDR from the cinema, as well as HDR10 and HLG, both with LG’s advanced tone-mapping technology that provides scene-by-scene optimization. **
  • LG’s most powerful processor, ?9 (Alpha9) providing superb picture quality: Award-winning intelligent processor. LG’s most powerful processor ever provides true-to-life images with incredibly rich colors, sharpness, and depth to deliver the ultimate picture quality. Provides amazing picture quality that seems shockingly lifelike and real

Knock Twice and See Your Food With LG Instaview

August 4, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

LG InstaView

I love when I can find technology that brings both style and functionality to the forefront and the new LG Instaview Refrigerator available at Best Buy is one that does just that!

With the new LG InstaView™ Door-in-Door® refrigerator you get a tinted glass panel that actually lets you knock twice to view and select items without opening the door. So you have forget having to sit there looking in your refrigerator with the door open trying to determine what you are going to eat. Instead, with the LG InstaView you can do a bit of pre-planning ahead of time, saving you money and saving the environment too.

 

LG InstaView

 

 

The LG InstaView is offers you truly innovative technology. The “Knock twice” feature illuminates contents, allowing you to see inside without letting cold air out. It is also set up so that the most popular items that you place in your refrigerator are in front and accessible (door-in-door feature). The LG InstaView also helps you save money and the environment through the technology that it provides. The ColdSaver™ Panel reduces cold air loss to extend the freshness of food. It is energy efficient and saves on utility bills by reducing time spent choosing items with the door open.

Even better though is that the LG InstaView offers distinctive styling and a sleek design with tinted glass panel and it is even fingerprint resistant!

The LG InstaView is definitely an amazing piece of technology that I would highly recommend to you and others!

Getting Green this Earth Day with LG and Best Buy

April 16, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

TWIN Washer and Dryer

Getting Green this Earth Day with LG and Best Buy

Lately our washer and dryer have been on the fritz. We have to wash things, rinse them again because the soap does not get out of the clothes or we have to dry items for longer than we have in the past. This is definitely a sign that our washer and dryer are not very efficient, but also that we need a new washer and dryer.
So my wife and I decided to jump into the search for a new washer and dryer, right before Earth Day. Why? Well, we want to be green and we want to be efficient with the Earth’s resources, but also our time, which is a precious resource too.
When we went to our local Best Buy, we looked at a lot of Washers and Dryers! We definitely were sold on the benefits of having an ENERGY STAR certified washer and dryer. I did a little research and found that the biggest benefits of having an ENERGY STAR washer and dryer include:
ENERGY STAR Washer Benefits
  • Use less energy. On average, a new ENERGY STAR certified clothes washer uses 280 KWh of electricity and can save you $40 a year on your utility bills compared to a standard model.
  • Use less water. A full-sized ENERGY STAR certified clothes washer uses 13 gallons of water per load, compared to the 23 gallons used by a standard machine. That’s a savings of more than 3,000 gallons of water, per year!!
  • Is your washer over 10 years old? Washers built before 2003 are significantly less efficient than newer models. If you have a standard clothes washer that is over 10 years old, it’s costing you, on average $180 a year.

 

LG Washer and DryerENERGY STAR Dryers Benefits

  • Use 20 percent less energy than conventional models without sacrificing features or performance
  • Sensor Drying. Use sensor drying, not timed drying. ENERGY STAR dryer models incorporate advanced moisture sensors to help you reduce your dryer’s energy use. This feature ensures that your dryer will automatically shut off when clothes are dry
  • Low heat setting. Longer drying cycles on a low heat setting use less energy. When you purchase an ENERGY STAR certified clothes dryer, look in the informational materials shipped with the product for which cycle was tested for certification and how the dryer’s other cycles or settings may use more or less energy.
  • Consider gas. Eighty percent of dryers in the US are electric. If you have the option, consider using a gas dryer to save money and reduce your environmental impact.

 

As we looked at all of the washers and dryers, one of the ones that we really liked was the LG Twin Wash & Sidekick. These not only gave me the opportunity to be “green” and to save money and time, but in looking into this, they were a ton of additional benefits for this including:

  • It lets you do two loads at once, so you have more time to do the things you’d rather be doing in life. It’s LG’s ingenious way of helping you divide and conquer your daily workload.
  • These are completely innovative and have everything that you need to be efficient in completing your laundry!
  • The innovative LG TWIN Wash is all about efficiency, helping you get more clothes cleaner in less time. With a combined capacity of up to 6.6 cu. ft., the TWIN Wash boasts an ergonomically elevated and angled door that makes loading and unloading easier. Plus, the LED control panel is located on the door, right at your fingertips.
  • TurboWash 2.0 feature saves up to 30 minutes on larger loads with outstanding cleaning performance
  • TurboSteam technology deeply penetrates fabrics for greater cleaning power
  • The full-width lid helps prevent spills thanks to an easy-to-fill detergent tray with recessed design
  • The Sidekick can pair with almost any LG front load unit. You can wash smaller loads without having to waste water by using the main unit
  • Add the ingenious LG SideKick pedestal washer to almost any LG front load washer to tackle two loads of laundry — both large and small — at the same time.
  • The LG SideKick not only functions as a secondary washer, but also raises your front-loading washer to a comfortable height and matches the pedestal beneath your LG dryer.
  • 1.0 cu. ft. capacity is just the right size for cleaning smaller loads as often as you need
  • Delicates, hand washables, and workout wear get the special care they deserve
  • The LG direct drive motor has fewer moving parts for greater efficiency, plus a 10-year warranty
  • Magnetic remote control offers a convenient way to start, stop, or select a cycle

 

 

We have not made a final decision, but this is definitely still at the top of our list and even better, right now Best Buy is offering some amazing deals that would allow us to get 18 months major appliance financing or 10% rewards (increased from 5 to 10% for April!) and 10% back in grocery purchases as well as free delivery on purchases $399+ !

Finding a Superior Cell Phone With The New LG G4

June 10, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

lg-g4

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free

There are so many things to look for and consider when it comes to cell phones and cell phone carriers. When it comes to this I know I have considered in the past, look, style, features and more. The phone that I have is a few years old, so I have been looking into new phone options. On a recent trip to Best Buy, I decided to give a few phones a try and I thought I would talk about one of the phones that stood out to me.

I knew that I was looking for a smartphone that was lightweight, sleek, and filled with a ton of great new technology. While I had not had an LG Phone in a number of years, in speaking with one of the Best Buy representatives, he let me know about the new LG G4 Smartphone, so I decided to give it a test drive.

LG-G4

At first glance I have to say that the new LG G4 Smartphone was lightweight and thin. It also had a very sleek style and looked very clean and professional. The phone fits in the palm of your hand and has a slight curve in the design so that it fits well in your hand as well.

Outside of appearance itself, the display was amazingly clear and had a huge display. In looking at the features, it stated that the screen was a huge, 5.5 inches, and I could easily see that! The LG G4 was so much larger than what I have in my current phone which allows you to have so much more depth in vision & scope when it comes to staying connected.

LG-G4

As you know, I love taking pictures, but I do not always want to take the camera along with me, so having a cellular phone that I can use that produces is important to me! The LG G4 takes some great images. It has a f/1.8 aperture which really gives you some amazing performance in low light settings. Also, it offers manual mode and more camera options than I have ever seen on a phone before. These settings are a photographers dream and allow you to really adjust the camera to work with you to capture the image that you want. I found that the camera focused at a much higher rate than my current phone and upon further research and questioning, I found that it had a Laser Auto Focus feature which helps to fix this issue normally found in cell phone cameras (Great job LG). You get all of this and 16MP images from the front and 8MP images from the back and even lets you shoot RAW images (not bad for a cell phone!).

I also tried out the audio features o this phone and was quite impressed with how great it sounds – and I think you will be too!

 

Best of all I found out that right now there is a guaranteed $100 Best Buy© Gift Card when you purchase the . I always love a great deal, so this is perfect!

LG Televisions Make NCAA Football Come Alive #dadchat #LGCFB

October 28, 2014 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

What do the University of Georgia, Ohio State University, University of Texas, Arizona State University, University of Michigan, University of Southern California, University of California (Berkeley), Nebraska and Tennessee have in common?

They have all teamed up with LG the official corporate partner of NCAA® Football! Visit Walmart.com today to discover all of the various LG TV’s and check out their incredible features, such as: Picture quality with infinite detail, Cinema 3D, Easy access to limitless content, Ultra HD and Laser technology!

As mentioned, It is NCAA Football season, and while I cannot always get to my favorite school (Go Broncos!) to see the games in person, I love it when I can catch the games on television. To get ready for the big day I try to always keep my house stocked with great snacks, drinks and more so that I can have some of the guys over, or even get my kids into the action. To be honest, I love having my kids getting excited about football, and as girls, they get as excited as I do, though we may not always be rooting for the same teams to my chagrin.

Because I can’t be at the games, having a television that can give me the experience of being there, is so important! I want a television that is high quality and gives me the high definition that I want to truly be a part of the game (from a distance that is).

Recently I had been looking into getting a new television and was considering a number of ones that might meet my specifications. After doing quite a bit of research I was impressed to find a number of LG televisions that really outshined others. I was impressed by the picture quality with infinite detail, Ultra HD, Cinema 3D and so much more that their televisions offered me at a very reasonable price.

I was looking for a television because my old television was failing quickly and we have seen a continual degradation in picture and sound quality on the set itself. This really puts a hamper on the day and on the BIG game. I simply want to make sure that we have great quality image and sound, and I really was not getting that.

Enter LG. As mentioned I found LG to offer a ton of the items I was looking for in a television. Just look below at the great tweaks you can make on your own LG Television to make your watching experience even better than it already it!
