LG - 55" Class - LED - UK6090PUA Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

I did a lot of research before purchasing a TV and even with all that research ended up buying the wrong TV from Sams Club that was supposedly a SHARP that turned out to be a knock off HiSense TV and in the end I ended up returning to Sams Club in anger. So just a heads up on things like that. Do your research because when it comes to TVs you never know what is under the hood. And I started this review with this fact to help other consumers avoid that mistake and to point out that it was a much better buying experience when purchasing my TV through Best Buy. After that I decided to purchase this TV from Best Buy, I noticed an immediate difference between this TV and the SHARP TV I returned both in picture quality and with the smart TV abilities on it. The WEBOS smart TV software built into the TV will do well for most, but coming from an apple TV user I found the WebOS interface some what limiting. As an example with Apple TV I am able to cast anything form my iphone to the TV. But in WebOs your are limited to whatever is in your photos and videos on your phone. There is also a lack of many of the apps I was used to having access to on my Apple TV that I would have liked to see on this smart TV like CW as an example. And for a smart TV the WebOS system is not bad but it's no Apple TV and the only reason I am using the WebOs vs my Apple TV is that I have the older Apple TV that is not 4K. And so to enjoy 4k and HD quality content through streaming providers like Netflix I have to use the Netflix app included in the TV's smart TV app line up until I can fork over money for an Apple TV 4k. It is also notable to mention that PLEX is an available app on this TV which I use a lot. And was presently surprised to see that it detected my HomeRun device that streams my digital antenna signals thought my home network and streams those free antenna channels with much more reliability than going through the PLEX app like I used to with the Apple TV. I was also able to connect the TV to my Amazon Echo device and can now instruct Alexa verbally to turn my tv off among other commands which I am finding useful. The remote is okay, and for this model does not come with the "Magic Remote" that allows you to use a pointer and scroll wheel to navigate around with your TV. However, I did find that the LG Remote app for your smartphone does include this feature but is not as cool as having the "Magic remote" that higher end models provide. I also looked into if I could upgrade to the better remote and it os not possible with this model to do so. As for the actual picture and sound quality, I found so many reviews about deeper blacks and refresh rates and all of that. And in most cases more is better, but when I have this TV hung on my wall and am watching 4k content or anything for that matter it is amazing looking and am very satisfied with what I see. The TV also has a few preset picture settings that you can adjust and you can even adjust the motion settings to help reduce that awful "Soap Opera Effect" that I do not like and for this TV it is not that noticeable, especially after making some custom tweaks to some of the preset picture settings. The TV also has a decent wide viewing angle. I can not comment on the sound much since I pass my audio to a soundbar, but at least there is an ARC output on the TV that I was able to connect to my ARC compatible soundbar which allows me to seamlessly control the soundbar through my TV. However, I did notice some audio sync issues, especially on Netflix but was able to adjust the audio sync in the TV audio configuration. So if your looking for a decent and affordable large 4k HDTV, in my opinion you can not go wrong with this one!

This LG is a great entry level 4K TV for those on a budget. I was originally going to get the 4 series TCL Roku but saw really bad reviews. I found this TV along with the Samsung priced the same and decided to go with LG. This TV has three HDMI ports and several others that the Samsung didn't have. Some other reviewers said the the number 1 HDMI port went bad after a few days and I have to say that when I hooked it up I thought mine was damaged as well. However I unplugged and plugged back in and it has worked fine since. The picture is amazing even considering I don't have a 4K streaming device or 4K content. I don't use this TV with an antenna I only use streaming services and all come in so real to life its almost scary. I definitely would go in and turn off the energy saver setting and play around withh the picture settings. It did appear a little dark with the energy saver on, but once it's off and played with the other settings found the one that was perfect for my set up. Overall I would recommend this TV for those on a budget, if money is not an issue LG and Samsung have better 4K TV's.

Honestly surprised by the sound on this TV! It's pretty great. However a sound bar will still always provide the better bass and sound so I switch between both. Great picture, no issues with picture quality from the side. The legs are CHEAP. They are flimsy. I wish there was another stand or base I could purchase because I have a crazy cat named Harley Quinn who likes to run around my TV when I am not home lol BUT so far, all is well! I really do love this TV and am happy I purchased it over a Samsung because my 32 inch LG from 6 years ago still works like new so fingers crossed this one does the same! ONLY annoyance is I now have to call customer care to figure out why the apps won't work. Netflix worked the first day but I never tried the other apps. Now none will connect and the TV says that it's not connected to the network even though it very much is and says it's connected lol PLEASE NOTE: The legs are very far apart. You need to make sure you have a TV stand that is essentially the same length as the TV.

I’m really happy with this Black Friday purchase. I was deciding between this one and a 55” Samsung with similar pricing. I ultimately chose LG for the extra ports this model has. 3 HDMI ports, 2 USB, and several others that Samsung did not have. When I first turned on the tv I also thought the screen seemed dark (as another reviewer stated) but upon looking thru the settings menu realized that “backlight energy saver” was automatically turned on. I turned this off and the screen brightened considerably. The TV looks great from multiple angles within our living room. It’s also held up well against the strong natural light coming in through our patio doors nearby. My only complaint is the legs seem a little cheap. Plastic-y and the tv is still quite wobbly. I don’t think this is enough to knock it down an entire star.

I purchased this TV a week ago and it is a good TV for the price. It has a good viewing angle, sound, and the picture is good. If you don’t expect the performance of a $2,000.00 TV, you will be happy. This is just a TV and it will not solve all of your problems. I have an outdoor over the air antenna and this pulls in the same stations as my old TV. We use a Roku but they have the typical apps such as Netflix, Hulu and Sling. The other reviews are correct regarding turning off the energy saving mode to increase the brightness of the picture. It is very easy and is under the picture settings.

Preface: i upgraded to this TV after having my last Sanyo tube TV for twenty years. This is my first experience with a “smart” TV and I could not be more impressed. The picture and sound are amazing. I love the ease of use and how fast we were able to connect to Comcast. This tv is perfect for a cord-cutter as well, with built in apps for Hulu, Netflix, sling, YouTube and Amazon. It also comes with a plethora of free internet channels. There is no shortage of things to watch, for sure. The picture and audio are great. I am blown away by the quality of this product, and for such a great price, too. If you buy this, you won’t regret it.

The picture, sound, and depth of this tv are each phenomenal. After about 5 minutes of personal tweaking, 4K Netflix/PS4 Pro gaming/4K streaming were crystal clear. To our happy surprise, this TV was much louder than the loudest setting on our previous soundbar (cheapo depot). The interface is extremely simplistic and the quick tutorial more than suffices at setting up HDR and any other personal settings. The lack of the better remote was a little disappointing, but I use my IPhone as a remote anyways so it wasn’t a huge deal. Also, connecting to Alexa was rather difficult until I realized I was stifling myself. Overall, an excellent intro to the 4K world!

Had an old 2008 Panasonic Plasma TV with the "hatchback". Lasted me for several years til it give in. Couldn't decide what tv to get. Heard and witnessed Samsung having beyond horrible customer service when it came to their tvs. Decided to go with an LG brand and so far its been a great tv! No issues so far. Loved that you can turn off the red light when the tv is off when you go through settings. Audio is pretty good. Haven't mounted it and the legs that can be attached seemed a bit flimsy but so far no problems and its a nice thin tv for its style. Haven't connectednm it to the wifi for the apps since I use my ps4 & firestuck to watch my shows. No regrets so far!
