The LG 55SM9000PUA was delivered in an average size box, and I was actually able to lift it by myself, owing to light TV and just enough packaging to keep it safe in transit. With everything plugged in and the TV hanging from the wall, I noticed immediately how much closer it was to the wall than the previous TV and even the LG OLED TV in the other room. There also didn't appear to be any bezels, at least they aren't visible unless the TV is on, and even then they are only a few centimeters. Setup was uneventful. I had to select a few options, give it an Internet connection, and I was ready to go. So far so good, a clean formfactor, uncomplicated setup and I was greeted with a familiar interface. The LG 55SM9000PUA runs the latest webOS, while my LG OLED65G6P is running 3.3. They look very similar to each other, which really helps when going from using a TV in one room to another. My experience with webOS has been overwhelmingly positive, and this iteration continues to build on that. It maintains a shallow menu depth, making it easy to find most functions and is quick to get out of the way so you can get back to the content. The smart functionality presents itself as tiles along the bottom of the screen, but only when you press the home button. It's mercifully minimalistic, instead of trying to compete with an Apple TV, cable box, or game console, it lets you use common applications like Netflix, but doesn't drown you in a TV world that feels like someone's side job. Event the remote is pleasantly sparse, it preserves the numeric buttons for those who still have a cable box, but it primarily serves as a motion controlled pointer. It has a scroll wheel surrounded by a directional pad, providing an alternative to those who don't feel like pointing the remote at the TV. Oh, and as an added bonus, the directional buttons and scroll-click work on the Apple TV. Now whatever remote I grab is the "right one." Honestly, I wasn't expecting much. I only had the 3rd generation Apple TV attached, so I wasn't really pushing a 4k picture. Though even with just a 1080p signal, I could tell it wasn't as soft and washed out like the old TV. Job done, I guess. At some point the TV's screensaver kicked in, the same one that runs on the OLED TV in the other room. The picture looked almost identical. I never expected to get anywhere near the same picture. Even the black levels are exceptional. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion
