LG LQ63 Televisions - Review and opinions
Quick verdict
A compact bedroom or kitchen TV needs to do more than save space: it should keep everyday channels and streaming straightforward without pretending to be a cinema or gaming screen. The LG LQ63 pairs a 32-inch Full HD display with webOS, Freeview Play and named streaming apps, making it a credible second-room choice; its 60Hz panel and modest screen size are the clear limits for high-end HDR viewing and fast console play.
Choose it for familiar TV, catch-up services and casual streaming in a smaller room, where Full HD is more useful than a larger but lower-resolution screen. Skip it for a big living room, demanding dark-room films or next-generation gaming priorities: HDR10 and Game Optimiser do not change the fact that this is a 60Hz set, and the small-button remote may frustrate some households.

Full HD for a smaller room
The 32-inch LED screen has 1080p resolution, a practical combination for close-up viewing in a bedroom or kitchen.
It gives everyday television and streaming a sharper target than an HD Ready screen, but does not make this a large-room or premium cinema display.
webOS and everyday viewing
webOS includes access to Freeview Play, Netflix, Disney+ and other apps, so live channels and streaming sit within one smart-TV setup.
AirPlay 2 and Alexa compatibility add useful ways to connect or control the set, while the small-button remote is a potential irritation for anyone who finds compact handsets difficult to use.
Gaming without high-refresh claims
Game Optimiser gathers game settings in one place, and the 60Hz panel suits casual console play.
It is not the right choice when smooth high-refresh gaming or HDMI 2.1 features are central to the purchase.
Performance and experience
For a bedroom or kitchen, the first question is whether a 32-inch picture gives you enough detail at your usual viewing distance. Full HD on this size works well for everyday programmes and streaming, while the compact screen is easier to place than a larger living-room set. If several people tend to watch from across a wide room, the size—not the resolution—is the more immediate constraint.
Settle in for a film after dark and HDR10 gives compatible content a route to enhanced colour and clarity, while the α5 Gen5 processor handles picture processing. That makes the set suitable for ordinary film nights, but it is not the route for buyers whose priority is deep blacks and high-impact HDR highlights: no local dimming or peak-brightness figures are provided, and this is an LED rather than an OLED or QLED model.
For a console session, Game Optimiser puts gameplay settings together, which is useful when switching between games and regular viewing. The 60Hz refresh rate keeps the gaming proposition in casual territory rather than the high-refresh lane; buyers seeking VRR, HDMI 2.1 or a 120Hz panel should choose a gaming-focused television instead. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, HDMI and USB are listed, but the number of HDMI sockets is not, so this is a less clear fit for a setup that depends on connecting several devices at once.
Pros
- Full HD resolution on a compact 32-inch screen
- webOS with Freeview Play, Netflix and Disney+
- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, HDMI and USB connectivity
- Game Optimiser for casual console play.
Cons
- 60Hz refresh rate is not suited to high-refresh gaming
- 32-inch screen is a limiting choice for a large living room
- small remote buttons may be awkward for some people
- HDR10 does not establish premium dark-room contrast or highlight impact.

User reviews
The recurring appeal is straightforward setup, a pleasing picture for a compact set and useful app access. The practical cautions are less uniform: remote-button size can matter at home, and one owner describes difficulty registering a similarly named model for warranty support.

I use this 32-inch set in a smaller room and find the Full HD picture clear for everyday viewing.

Against the 40-inch EMtronics EM40ROK, the LG gives up screen size but retains Full HD resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate; choose the EMtronics if a larger picture matters most, and the LG if a compact room and webOS apps are the priority. The Antteq 40 Inch Tizen TV is another 40-inch, 1080p, 60Hz route, with Tizen named as its smart platform; it suits buyers prioritising a larger screen, while the LG’s appeal is its smaller footprint and webOS ecosystem.
The Amazon Ember 2-Series is also 32 inches and 60Hz, but its listed 1366 x 768 resolution is lower than the LG’s 1080p. Choose the LG when Full HD detail matters at close viewing distances; choose the Ember if a smaller-screen set with HD Ready resolution better fits your needs. None of these 60Hz options is the right lane for buyers seeking a confirmed 120Hz gaming display.

Is the LG LQ63 TV worth it?
The LG LQ63 makes sense as a compact everyday television: Full HD, webOS, Freeview Play and popular streaming apps cover the essentials for a bedroom or kitchen, while the listed connections give it several ways to join a home setup. Check the current offer against larger Full HD alternatives if screen size is your main priority. Skip it if you want a big-room picture, premium HDR cinema or high-refresh console gaming. The 60Hz panel and small screen set a clear ceiling on those uses, and the small-button remote is worth weighing if handset accessibility matters in your household.
