Q: What does full array dimming and full array dimming "Pro" mean between the two models on the SK9000 and the SK9500 respectively? Also, how is the quality of up conversion from 1080p to 4K on the SK9000 or SK9500?

A: Full Array Dimming Pro is able to provide better black uniformity as well as superior brightness across the TV screen. Full Array Dimming Pro provides better lighting control than Full Array Dimming so that you can enjoy better uniformity and brightness. All 4K TVs have a built-in 4K Upscaler. Currently, TV programs and cable programs are broadcast in either 720p or 1080i. 4K TVs have a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 (also referred to as 2160p) and will always play any video content they are presented with at their native resolution. When presented with a lower resolution, they will upconvert or upscale that signal to, or as close to their native resolution. The quality of the image after it is upconverted will depend on how well the upscaler performs that task. There is no qualitative measurement for the quality because TV broadcasters compress the signal and that can affect how good the upconversion will look. 1080i or 720p are signals that have fewer pixels than 4K. A 4K TV can improve the picture by upconverting. ^CP

Q: Does it have Dolby Atmos ?

A: Yes, this model has Dolby Atmos.

Q: Is Logitech model K830 wireless illuminated keyboard compatible with LG model SK9000PUA Smart TV? If not which wireless illuminated one is compatible? HP Win 10 computer connected to TV with HDMI & desktop of computer mirrors on TV. Mouse works on TV.

A: The LOGITECH K360, LOGITECH K400, LOGITECH K750, LG Electronics MKS-1200and the LG Portable Bluetooth Rolly Keyboards Models # KBB-700 and Model # KBB-710 are the keyboards that have been tested for compatibility with LG TVs. The LOGITECH K830 is not one that has been tested for compatibility so there are no guarantees that it will work with our TVs. ^CP

Q: What is the stand width ? Got the depth.

A: 32 inches

Q: Does this TV have full array back lit or is it edge lit? Also how does the up-scaling look? Many thanks.

A: It’s full array dimming but I believe it has fewer dimming zones than other TVs in this price range. Upscaled content looks as good as it can with this tv.

Q: Hi, i’ looking at the SK9000PUA and SK8000PUA and doing the comparing feature it shows that they have the same exact specs. Can you please tell me why since they have same specs there is a difference ?

A: SK9000PUA series TVs are a Full Array Local Dimming display and the SK8000PUA series are Standard Local Dimming. All 4 x HDMI Ports on SK9000PUA are on the side and the SK8000PUA series have 2 on the side and 2 in the back. USB ports on the SK9000UA is 1 rear, 2 sides and on the SK8000PUA is 2 rear, 1 side. ^CP

Q: Does it have full array dimming. Also what are the differences between the LG 65SK9000PUA AND LG 65SK9500PUA

A: Yes, the LG 65SK9000PUA has full array local dimming. The number of LED used is not given by LG but one source stated that it was 128. The LG 65SK9500PUA was the 2017 model and it has very similar features. However, every year manufacturers make many small changes to their TVs so I would go with the newest model.

Q: Does this TV put out a lot of heat? I've noticed some put out more then others...

A: Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.When watching the TV for a long period, the ventilation openings may become hot. ^CP

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Great SDR, terrible horrible disgusting HDR.
I will start with what I liked about the tv. I like the IPS panel, the viewing angle is significantly better than VA panels and I was impressed by just how much better it is than the tv I was replacing (a VA panel). The blacks were sufficiently black for me, I added some bias lighting via an led kit and it looked great. I noticed that the blacks are a little gray, but dark enough for me to enjoy the picture quality. I placed my KS8000 next to this and I thought the picture was comparable. The color popped just a bit more on this over my KS8000 and I liked the picture a little bit better. I like LG's software interface and being able to point my cursor at the screen to enter in passwords, etc. Although I found it faster and more intuitive to just use the arrows to navigate quickly for picture settings, etc. The black frame insertion on this television was great and didn't introduce a lot of flicker, which I'm sensitive to, and overall the picture settings available are pretty robust. I went online to rtings.com to get their ideal picture settings, and I thought they were pretty spot on. I did use the local dimming set to high because I found the gray boxes around small light objects were less noticeable on high vs medium or low (Love, Death, Robots intro was a good test on Netflix). Watching SDR content looked fantastic and I was very pleased with the tv and the image quality. If I could force all my hardware to only broadcast SDR, I would definitely have kept this television. Now for the bad: While using my Fire Stick 4K, it would detect Dolby Vision/HDR and the tv image was complete and utter trash on dark scenes. The dimming zones are pretty big and it creates giant gray boxes all over the screen during dark scenes, even when viewed from directly in front of the television, and looks significantly worse from the sides. Watching the same content on my original Xbox One (no HDR/4K capability) was miles better and looked good, but I don't watch with my Xbox. Total and complete failure. I had to return it. I've attached a picture from Altered Carbon, S1E1. I used this as a test for the dark scenes and you can see here the giant gray boxes. I found that you could turn on the black frame insertion and then raise the brightness (not the backlight) to compensate, but it significantly dims the image and going too high with the brightness grays the image quite a bit. Because I watch most of my content through my Fire Stick 4K on Netflix/Amazon Prime which have Dolby Vision/HDR, this tv did not work for me. And what's the point of advertising Dolby Vision/HDR support when your picture looks terrible? No clue how this ever made it to the showroom floor. I'm glad that Best Buy has a 15-day return policy, and was one reason I did purchase from here. I was skeptical about the purchase and SDR did impress me but HDR killed it and I returned the tv.

Excellent TV with superb picture clairty and color
I prefer my TV's to have excellent clarity across both cable TV broadcast and streaming mediums. This TV is simply the best I have owned in terms of the clarity of the picture and the depth of color. My past TV's include the Panasonic ST60 plasma, and the Samsung JS8500 (their first year of Quantum Dot TV's), so I have gotten used to great picture quality, and the SK900 does not disappoint. The motion handling on this TV is fantastic. If you watch a lot of cable TV and sports then you will really enjoy what this TV has to offer. The quick response time on many of today's TV's often leads to stuttering and blur in the picture, making for an awful viewing experience. LG's upscaling and motion handling is really fantastic on this TV, leading to a picture with great clarity. This carries over to streaming on Netflix and other platforms as well. It makes for a wonderful viewing experience. The color representation on this TV is also fantastic. The nano cell technology used by LG (related to the Quantum Dot tech on Samsung TV's) makes the color's rich and have quite a bit of depth. They aren't fake looking, though, they just have a depth that is hard to describe in this review without seeing it for yourself. The ISF Dark Room and Technicolor picture modes are best for enjoying the best quality picture available on this TV. There are plenty of adjustment options, but basically if you turn off all the extra processing (Noise Reduction, Motion Smoothing, etc) you will get a fantastic picture. There is also a sports mode if you do want to add extra smoothing for fast paced sporting events (I haven't found it necessary, but some will), and a game mode for those who love to game. This TV input lag is very low (as tested by several review sites), so it is a great choice for gaming. The smart TV software that LG has developed is great as well. The variety of apps is not as wide as other operating systems (Android TV, Tizen (Samsung), or Roku TV), but it has all the major ones you could want and it extremely smooth. I personally love the Wifi screen sharing that can be done with both laptops (if your laptop has WiDi) and phones. The phone screen sharing is particularly clever, with both a split screen mode and full screen, which is something I had not seen on a TV before. The SK9000 comes with LG"s Magic Remote. It has a an easy to use voice function for speaking commands, as well as a pointer that allows you to use the remote as a mouse to select items on the screen. I find that feature very handy when entering text or selecting items to watch in Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. This TV also features Full Local Array Dimming, which increases the quality of the picture when compared to edge-lit displays. This does result in some "blooming" during darker scenes or nearly black screens. This is helped immensely by adding some bias lighting LED strips (I cover this in the next paragraph), which reduces the blooming effect. The one drawback of this TV that many sites mention are the black levels. The TV uses an IPS panel instead of a VA panel. An IPS screen offers greater viewing angles for off center viewing, but does not have the increased contrast of VA panels, resulting in greyer blacks. I have found that using bias light LED strips have helped immensely with this, as it gives you the impression of deeper blacks on the screen. There are many easy to install options out there, and if you want more info you can Google it online and see what others have to say about it. If you are videophile and truly want deep blacks, then check out the OLED TV's, or a VA panel such as Sony's 900F. They have their own drawbacks as well. Don't be fooled by the other really bright TV's in the store that try and sway you with their 4k streams. I know that when I went to buy this TV I looked at the OLED's next to it and was like "Hmm, wonder if this is the right purchase?" I had done my research, though, and this TV time and again got great reviews and did not disappoint. Fantastic picture and great clarity win out in the end.

Great TV but buy it on sale!
I think for the price i paid on sale it was a very good value, but at full price it would have me wanting to go for OLED technology and not have to see the blooming anymore. What it does well, very bright, great color, awesome detail, deep contrast, and amazing operating system and remote control! The bad is really just the local dimming, if you watch a movie in the dark it can be very obvious especially with subtitles or credits on screen. All in all i really do like this TV!
