This 65SJ8500 television finishes with a 86 overall rating which is derived from a secret formula created by us to evaluate televisions objectively. A 65 inch screen and 4K resolution are factors that go into this rating. This LG offers some features as 4K UHD TV, Smart with webOS 3.5, Dual Band WiFi. This is just the top features. Check the specs page for all of them. Every single person has likes and dislikes as it pertains to features of a television.

Pixel Me This
The screen on this TV offers a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. It is also known as 4K resolution. Resolution is measured in pixels and is basically used to determine the clarity of the display. A lot of pixels means a high resolution. The resolution, more than the size of the screen, is the main reason when determining the quality of the picture. Although vertical refresh rate, type of backlighting and screen size does play a part in picture quality, as well.

Only the Smart
A Smart TV will always have some type of software in order to provide users access to apps and settings. This TV runs webOS 3.5 as the main interactive software. This Smart TV offers quite a few apps for users such as Facebook, YouTube, Showtime, Netflix, and many more! Due to apps always changing and possible legal licensing crap, there very well could be different webOS 3.5 apps than what was listed. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the webOS 3.5 system before making a financial decision.

Regardless of the screen size, you should choose a television that will fit in the space you need it to fit in!

Having four HDMI ports is nice these days due to all the electronic equipment being hooked up to a TV. Composite inputs are hard to find on televisions these days due to the reasoning that it is thought to be ancient input technology by today's standards. Newer component input connections are still around and quite more common due to the fact they can handle 1080p quality signals. Having WiFi offers a great way to get to the Internet. This gives you an endless world to explore through your TV. Having an Ethernet port means having another way to connect your TV to the Internet.
