LG’s smart TV portal initially appears somewhat unstructured. Below are the MyApps, on the left the TV picture and then follow categories like 3D, Premium or LG SmartWorld in predefined order – something much with little explanation. Beginners need some time to work out, until the smartphone-like concept shows them.
Magic Remote and Voice Control
Then the user finds a wide range of applications, gadgets and connection possibilities with mobile terminals. Maxdome, Viewster and Acetrax are on board as video-on-demand services. QTom makes sure you get good music. However, many applications need to be installed separately.

The "Settings" and "Input lists" topics are also in the MyApps category. Thus LG mixes its smart surface with other menu items, which do not belong here. Fortunately, all applications in MyApps can be deleted or moved. This allows the user to design his portal individually and clearly.
In contrast to the structure, the integrated browser was more convincing. LG has already set some websites like Amazon or Google as favorites. Afterwards the user can call up additional pages via the entry into the address line and create them as favorites. Although LG does not provide a remote control with a keyboard, the Magic Remote facilitates navigation through the TV portal - including scrolling wheels for browsing through websites.
Also the voice control worked well. Above all the search for English terms understood the LG reliably.
