Q: What are the differences between the 65ub9500 and the 65uf8500
A: Hello Eagle. Thank you for your inquiry. The main difference between the UF8500 series and the UB9500 series will be that the UF8500 is a 2015 TV and the UB9500 is a 2014 TV. The 9500 series was a step up to the 8500 series, so if will you're comparing them, the UF8500 is a step down from the UF9500 series for this year and the UB8500 was a step down from the UB9500 from last year. The UF series will feature Google's VP9 decoder for 4K playback on YouTube that only became available in 2015. There are other differences but you would be better served doing a feature comparison on these models on the company site...IFV
Q: Does anyone know if there is a setting for the up scaling feature this TV has?
A: Thank you for your inquiry. The LG - 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV - , Model # 65UF8500 automatically upscales. It has a native resolution of 2160p and it will always upscale content to its native resolution. This is what the 1080p and 720p TVs did as well. If the resolution you're upscaling from, is extremely low, your picture will not look good at all, the TV would have too much to make up for that gap. The closer to the native resolution your content is, the easier it is to upscale to the native resolution and have the picture look good. To present lower-resolution material on a 4k TV, the TV has to perform upscaling. This process increases the pixel count of a lower-resolution image, allowing a picture meant for a screen with fewer pixels to fit a screen with many more. It’s important to remember that since the amount of information in the signal doesn’t change, there won’t be more detail present...^IFV
Q: What is the difference between the LG65UF8500 & the LG65UF9500
A: Your inquiry is appreciated. The differences between the LG - 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV - Model # 65UF8500 and the 65UF9500 are that the UF9500 weighs a little less, has 4 HDMI ports, Has a 60W 4-Channel Speaker System, Tru 4K Engine Pro and Color Prime with a Nano Spectrum...^IFV
Q: Which is the Best LG 3D bluray player for this TV
A: I use the lg bp735. I had read some bad reviews on the 730 so I was hesitant and there werent many options for 3d from LG. I wanted a 4k one as well and so far the bp735 has been an excellent performer. The 3d looks great and the upscaling looks very nice for regular blurays as well.
Q: does the tv stream netflix in 4k
A: Although you cannot get 4K content over the air of via cable yet, you can stream 4K content via streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Instant Video and UltraFlix. You can even stream your own 4K media over USB or a server hosting service like PLEX on the LG LG - 65 Class (64.5 Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black, Model # 65UF8500. It is equipped with the necessary codecs and decoding software to read and play back those files, either wirelessly or over USB, namely HEVC and VP9...^IFV
Q: Does 65uf8500 convert 2D to 3D, and does it support HDMI 2.0?
A: Your inquiry is appreciated. The LG - 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV - Model # will convert 2D to 3D and vice versa. Hopefully this is not too technical an answer with regards to whether or not the TV supports HDMI 2.0. TVs can process 1080p at 120 Hz/FPS, but can only process 4K (3840x2160) at 60 Hz/FPS. They do not use true 4:4:4 chroma signaling. Instead they use 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. 4:2:0 chroma subsampling is a method that although not an official HDMI 2.0 spec, was added in HDMI 2.0 as an "unsupported" spec. " This is done so that the TV can receive 3840 x 2160p 60 signals over HDMI 1.4 systems. Sending Chroma 4:2:0 signals to the TV reduces the bandwidth needed so an HDMI 2.0 compliant port is not required. Keep in mind that this TV cannot receive UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) broadcasts directly because the related standards have not been yet confirmed. There really has been only one TV that had a true 2160p 60 input that could handle 4:4:4 chroma signals because it was the only one with a DisplayPort 1.2 port. The HDMI 2.0 spec does NOT define or require new cables or connectors, according to the information the HDMI Forum has released so far. The testing specification for HDMI 2.0 has not yet been established, and there are no cables that can be officially labeled as “HDMI 2.0 Compliant,” HDMI has stated that all current High Speed cables are capable of transmitting 18 Gbps when used with HDMI 2.0 electronics at both ends, and are therefore compatible with all HDMI 2.0 features. This is accomplished using signal processing that will be employed in all HDMI 2.0 hardware. For compatibility with all HDMI 2.0 features, new cables are not required for customers with High Speed cables...IFV
