LG - 55" Class - LED - UM7300PUA Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

I bought a Samsung 55” 6900 series earlier in 2019. It was OK, but it had some weird software issues that made it quirky to the point that I was looking for something better. The Samsung would randomly factory reset, it would stop remembering the last input used. The volume wouldn’t respond. It was random enough that I couldn’t reproduce the issue for tech support, but regular enough that it irritated me. So I did my research. I live in a small apartment and, truthfully, 55” is too big for my living room, but so be it. I chose LG based on reviews of the OS and picture quality. I chose the 7300 series over the 6900 series based on the ThinQ aspects including the magic remote. For a few bucks it seemed worth it. I also spent a lot of time looking at the competitors in the segment including TCL and HiSense. I was interested in both based on their price point and operating systems. But after spending time looking at them all in the store, I really didn’t care for them. This model was a really good fit based on my budget. I’d love an OLED, but not affordable for me. Yet. Plugged this in, did the updates, and it’s been great! I love the remote. I love the picture quality. The only two drawbacks (if you can call them that) have to do with looks. This TV has relatively large bezels. My old samsung had thin bezels, as do most models. And the other is the depth of this TV. Again, Samsung, TCL, HiSense all have paper thin TVs. This LG is definitely more “hefty” and reminds me of plasma TVs from years ago. While I don’t really care since I’m usually not looking at the cross section of the TV, it’s worth noting. But overall, I love this TV. Paired it with an LG soundbar and I have a very decent experience going and, for the price, I don’t think you’re going to beat it.

This TV can produce a picture as good as the best TVs on the market. However, it is not a great all around unit. If you will be feeding this TV low quality source material or just want a great all around, no fuss TV, there are probably better options. The LG UK6090PUA is a better all around TV (with less dark scene black balance) but this is better for cinematic high res source material. This TV will produce true “inky” blacks and colors that truly pop with excellent depth and dimension. And the sound is equivalent to some of the quality stand alone sound bars. But if you watch old movies and TV shows, which are often broadcast below 1080 resolution, get something else. Lower res source material can be close to unwatchable. There is judder and image lag. The upscaling engine is just not as good as the 2018 6090PUA series, which I have and which caused me to buy this set. I am attaching pictures of the best all around settings I could come up with. Except even using these settings you might have to bite the bullet and turn TruMotion up to 2 or 3 to watch something like Rambo or Ghostbusters broadcast below true 1080i. The conventional wisdom of turn all of those effects off does not apply to this set. Just be sure to turn energy saver off, because this unlocks all of the other settings. I also like the magic remote. Mainly because you don’t have to point it at the TV for it to work-even when controlling the cable box with it. If you will be feeding your TV only high res source material, this is probably the best TV on the market. One more important thing to know is the magic remote pointer will stay on the screen too long. This can make it hard to use other remote control functions. All you have to do to get rid of the pointer is press the down arrow below the scroll wheel on the remote and the pointer immediately goes away.

So quarantine came in an unfortunate time for our family. My son had just recently broken our TV while playing with his brother and we were waiting to save to buy a new fancy tv. We had a rude awakening when we were all forced to work and school from home. My youngest who is 3 years old needed a little distraction. (No tablets for him yet) We bought this TV for the price and based on the features that compared to some higher end ones. So far it’s amazing! We had a 70” 4K before this and we don’t remember it looking this good. Picture is amazing for the price. Sound is not great we might need a sound bar once our life goes back to normal.

I upgraded my man cave from a 42" Sharp Aquos that was 10+ years old to this beautiful spectacle of crisp, vibrant and amazing technology. All the features a Scifi, action/adventure and heavy metal concert video kinda guy could possibly want! The remote is crazy cool and connected to & interacts with my ROKU, Dish Hopper, and blu-ray player with so much ease. The factory speakers sound great especially when synced with my 5.1 surround sound system. Easy to setup. Looks great from anywhere on my large sectional and anywhere else in the room. It also blows my other (living room) LG 48" 4k TV away. I am in love with this TV!!!!

I am amazed how easy it is to operate the TV. It didn't took me a long time to set it up and get it operate. The picture quality is excellent. Live like picture . The TV sounds speakers are great. Also, the TV remote control is easy to use. One negative which needs improvement is the TV stand. It made out plastic .I think if the stand made out of steel for more stability. Overall, I am pleased and happy about this purchase.

This tv is fantastic and available at a great price. Easy to set up right out of the box. With the internet wifi on and available, antenna hooked up, and my old firestick plugged into HDMI 1, I powered it up. The unit found 70+ over the air stations (more than the unit it replaced) and a hundred plus internet channels, along with my firestick. Had to enter my wifi password. Picture and sound quality well above what I was expecting. Super satisfied here.

After weeks of research on different manufacturers I decided on an LG and went with this model for the price, features and size. It was incredibly easy to set up and add all my streaming services as well as my xfinity. The quality is awesome since this is my first new tv in 8 years. My favorite part and the reason I bought it, is the magic remote. Think of it like a mouse on your tv screen. The only downfall is there are not enough rca plugs (just one), which plugs in the cable box. I have a DVD player and some other things I cannot plug in and will need to get something to make these work.

I went in the store to buy a Samsung tv. The tech highly recommended this one instead. I went with his recommendation. 5 months later, I love this tv more & more everyday. The picture is absolutely STUNNING! Putting on a blue ray absolutely blew my mind at how beautiful the picture was. Everyone always says how gorgeous it is as well. The colors & lines are super crisp. The remote and home screen are fabulous! I’ll admit, the remote make it easier to get rid of your extra remotes but I haven’t played with it to not have to reach for the rest of the remotes at times. It’s really simple to program. The only downside is the stand it comes with. The stand absolutely sucks. I guess knowing most people will mount it made them not put too much money or thought into the stand. Especially if you’re mounting it, that really doesn’t mean much. The stand works & I haven’t had any issues. I would just be scared that one bump would make it fall over. Overall, I’m super happy with the purchase! LG blew me away & I forgot all about my desire for a Samsung!
