Glad I got 82", Amazing pic quality best for $$
||Posted .This LG 82" 4K UHD TV has far exceeded my expectations. I was initially going to get the 75" but it sold out, glad it did because that meant I had to get the 82". After having the 82", I can't even imagine only having the 75". If you like movies, sports and gaming, do yourself a favor and just upgrade to an 82". I've had bad luck with Samsung devices the last few years, so decided to switch to LG. So far I love the functionality of the LG more than Samsung. The Smart interface is great and the remote is best standard remote I've ever owned, Google and Alexa function makes it even better. 120hz refresh rate makes a big difference too. My only complaint is that I didn't realize there's no HBO Max App available yet but I can still stream it from my phone thru a Chromecast, kind of a pain but not a deal breaker. This is by far the best XL TV you can get for the money. Don't let the bad reviews because of delivery issues steer you away from this one. All reviews really should be based on the TV, not delivery problems.

LG's best UHD 4k TV for the money
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This LG 82 in TV is the best value for the size when I got it on sale at Best Buy. This is my third LG in 15 years, having also had a 37 inch and a 65 inch LG, which all still work perfectly. I've never had a problem with LG. This 82" is the only one in this family line that is not a standard IPS panel, so clarity and colors are a bit richer than what you get with it's sibling models. The image performance is perfect from the native 120 hertz refresh rate and makes for super smooth visuals in high motion sports and video games. No pixilation observed so far. Since I have a full home theater system and use a Roku Ultra for streaming content, I can't really attest to the onboard apps or the speaker performance. For me, this TV is all about size and a beautiful visual quality for the money. I did months of research before buying this TV. If you can find the 82" version, it's the best LG UHD 4k TV for the money.

Unbelievable TV for the price! Get it!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I got this as an open box special, so I thought it would have some issues with it. Nope. It's a fantastic TV. An 82" 4K TV with native 120 Hz for this price is unbelievable. Picture quality is great, user interface is easy enough, it's very easy to set up picture settings for different inputs and purposes. Great TV. You won't find a better TV cheaper than this.

Shockingly impressive
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I have purchased many TVs of many different brands. This TV hits the mark for refresh rate, size and price value. But most importantly what I am impressed by is when it goes into a rest mode it stays on and there are beautiful photographs they take up a huge space on the wall. Also a special shout out to the delivery people and their willingness to go the extra mile. I have chosen the basic installation where they come in put the TV where I want it and that’s it. Do you do a few cancellations on the schedule they were able to immediately upgrade me to a wall mount provide the wall mount add an additional cost. And you can now see from the pics the great job they did

Lg does it again
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.The tv really does speak for it’s self and if you have any other lg stuff it just links right in. Also has no issue with my Sony 7.2 receiver For the price it’s a good deal if you where able to catch it during the deals in November. It’s really worth it no way to pass up I was going to get 86 kinda glad I went with the 82 as I wouldn’t of had the room for the 86.

compatible with my Xbox Series X.
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.LG -82 UN8500 is a huge Tv and I can't get over it. Comparing to my Sony BRAVIA X690E I still believe Sony has a better display. For the rest of the feature the LG hand down the better tv. The Magic remote remind me of the Wii in a good way. LG free CH is a big plus too. Overall super happy with my purchase and it's upper compatible with my Xbox Series X.

Great TV!!! Awesome picture quality!
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Incredible picture quality! Did not realize 4K would be this nice with AT&T U-verse. Love the webOS smart TV functions. The remote takes some getting used to, but easy once you get the hang of it, it is much easier to navigate around than using the arrow buttons. Would recommend this TV to others if you have the room for it. Definitely need 11 to 12 feet viewing distance. Makes us feel like we are at the movies :)

Q: QuestionDoes 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
Asked by BryBryJuarez.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionI 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?
Asked by Kevin.
- A:Answer 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
