Q: Does this TV have HDMI 2.1 connectivity? It has multiple HMDI ports but no exact specification on if they're all 2.0 or if one is at least 2.1

A: Howdy, This TV does in fact have HDMI 2.1 connectivity on HDMI ports 3 and 4. The one caveat is that each of these ports run at 40mbps instead of the full bandwidth of 48mbps, which HDMI 2.1 is capable of. What does this mean? It means that you'll be able to take advantage of all that HDMI 2.1 has to offer on this TV; HDR, 4K 60, 4K 120, even VFR (Variable Frame Rate) via a firmware update, and more, but the one thing you'll be limited to is a 4K picture quality that is technically referred to as 4:4:4 with 10-bit color. If you had the full 48mbps, you'd have the potential to run a 4K picture quality that is technically referred to as 4:4:4 with 12-bit color. So, if you're like me and you're wondering about HDMI 2.1 because of the impending release of the Xbox Series X or PS5, then yes this TV is likely to be just fine for running the systems at their full potential, minus the possibility of seeing the full 12-bit color depth they could offer. I'll let you google what 10-bit vs 12-bit color looks like, but for me the difference is negligible. We will have to wait and see to know for sure, but with the research I've done, I am confident enough that this is the TV I am purchasing.

Q: I read the 75” and 86” variants have an IPS panel, but there is some question as to whether the 82” version has a VA panel (better contrast ratio but worse viewing angle). Can you please confirm which panels are on each size?

A: The LG UHD 85 Series 82 inch Class 4K Smart UHD TV with AI ThinQ® (81.5'' Diag), Model # 82UN8570PUC is a VA panel and the 75" and 86" variants are IPS panels...^IFV

Q: would this fit on top of a 70 inch entertainment system? i see the tv pegs are so close to the edge and the tv is 72 wide ?

A: No it would not. We bought a 88 inch long console and only have a few inches on each side.

Q: Which HDMI port is best suited for a cable box connection?

A: All of them are equally capable. But I would(did) reserve HDMI 3 which is ARC capable for external speakers or other devices that can benefit from that technology

Q: Does this TV have 120 hi refresh rate? Do you deliver in Delaware?

A: HDMI 3 and HDMI 4 on the LG UHD 85 Series 82 inch Class 4K Smart UHD TV with AI ThinQ® (81.5'' Diag), Model # 82UN8570PUC support K @ 100 / 120 Hz (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0) when HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color is set to On...^IFV

Q: is this tv taa compliant

A: TAA refers to the Trade Agreement Act. Under 19 USC 2501 Trade Agreements Act government agencies may only purchase US-made or designated country end products or US or designated country services. The product page for the LG UHD 85 Series 82 inch Class 4K Smart UHD TV with AI ThinQ® (81.5'' Diag), Model # 82UN8570PUC on the company site shows the Country of Origin as Mexico and Mexico is a TAA Compliant Country...^IFV

A: The packaging dimensions are 78.3"W x 47.8"H x 9.1"D with a weight of 131.8 pounds. ^Daphane
