Very nice upgrade, not too extravagant
I went from a 42" to this 55". My previous TV, a Toshiba, was 8 years old and was a "dumb" TV with a Fire Stick. There was nothing wrong with it, but I re-did my living room and decided to upgrade my TV. The picture quality upgrade on this was amazing. It took my eyes up while to get used to the aspect ratio, color clarity, and depth of pixelation. It works perfectly well with my smart home system (Alexa), except I am having a little trouble revising some of the commands that used to work on my old setup. It's just a learning curve thing. Once I get it down it will be smooth sailing. I love that the TV has Bluetooth, so I could get rid of the wires to my soundbar. I also like that it has live TV channels available, even though I haven't used them. I'm a show streaming fiend, so when I've run out of shows, I'll check out what the live channels have to offer. The TV mounted easily on my existing wall mount with a little help (it's a little too wide for one person to lift up and click into the mounting bracket). The TV and network setup were super easy. I was not expecting the remote to also have mouse/cursor functions. It make things a lot easier when using the search function to find something or type in alphanumeric entries.

Very Happy Customer
Love, love this LG TV! We purchased to replace a Samsung and couldn't be happier. Great picture, wonderful sound and love the bright clear colors. SO is having a ball trying out all of the features such as connecting BT so he can watch his video on the TV from his computer. I think we have found our new go-to brand for future purchases. Price was reasonable and I'd recommend.

It will certainly do
Having this TV for a month and a half, I fell like I can now review it. The first thing you will want to do is go into settings, then go to support, then under energy savings, and turn off Eco mode. This will allow you to make personal adjustments to the picture. With Eco mode on, you will be restricted. Also in settings go to Al service and turn off brightness setting, which adjust the backlight according to the room brightness. Playing with the different picture settings for a month and trying to calibrate it for the best picture, this is a very cool temperature panel. I recommend using only standard or cinema picture settings. Standard has the temperature at cold at 50 percent so I would slide it down to 0 percent or warm 50 percent. Cinema mode has the temperature at warm 50 percent as a standard which is a more accurate picture. This TV having a lower contrast ratio, it does suffer a little in dark scenes, but is very bright in everything else even with the panel brightness (backlight) at 50 percent. I never like having the backlight higher than half anyway so this is good. I tend to leave the contrast at 80-85, but not higher than 90, then the bright images look washed out. Using standard or cinema mode with these picture settings under advanced settings; Panel brightness-50, Contrast-80-85 or 90, Screen brightness-50, Auto dynamic contrast- OFF, Gamma- 2.2, Black level- Auto or Limited. Under Colour; Color depth- 45, Tint- 0 percent, Colour Gammet- Auto. Under Fine Tune; Colour Upgrade- OFF. Under White Balance; Temperature- 0 or Warm 50 Percent. Under Clarity; Sharpness- 10 percent, (everything else under clarity should be OFF) Film makers mode and Reduce Blue Light- OFF Also on this particular TV in bright scenes such as the snow during the winter olympics, you can see the vertical rows of the backlight. I counted seven rows from the direct backlight. The attached photo shows the backlight bleed a little. It only shows in bright scenes. Its not critical but if you are really paying attention, you'll definitely notice it. Overall this is an OK TV. This is not designed for critical watching. For occasional TV shows or movies, this is more than adequate. It gets the job done for a good price.

Great TV …. however
I initially purchased the 55” model of this LG. The picture quality was great and the universal remote easily control the firestick app. I decided I wanted a bigger screen so I traded up to a 65” version of this tv. The setup for this LG model was not as smooth as the other LG models I’ve purchased. On this 65” model, getting the universal remote to control to control the firestick app was tedious. And still after the remote was setup, it would not “stay” setup. So in summary.. Pros - Great picture quality Con - Somewhat Tedious setup Universal remote did not “continuously control the firestick app Even with these issues I still enjoy this tv.

LG 4K UHD TV 55UP8000
There's really not much to say, if I'm being honest. It was super easy to unbox and get started, simple to navigate through webOS no matter your skill level and an amazing picture quality to tie it all together. It's spectacular, everything that I've come to expect from LG. I have three different LG models / sizes in my house and I'd definitely recommend any one of them without hesitation....
