I've been installing electronics for 25 years, I've never heard of a holiday edition. Some models are built for specific retailers for marketing reasons (makes it harder to compare), and there are always multiple models of the same size, some are HD, UHD, some have more inputs, etc. This was purchased as a low cost 4K (UHD) tv for an out of town install I did, it has minimal inputs, cable, HDMI, and analog for a VCR. The picture quality is excellent, sound is acceptable, and I still consider LG to be one of the better companies producing flat screens.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is no such thing as a holiday edition, as far as quality is concerned. When a particular TV set model is originally engineered by the manufacturer, the quality stays the same throughout the production run, until the unit is discontinued by the manufacturer. However manufacturers DO make TVs with different levels of features and quality, depending on the retail price. A $500 TV is NOT likely to be built to the higher standards of a $1500 to $2000. You often get what you pay for.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you take the time and visit LG's website, you'll see that the 43UJ6300 is a regular model in LD's lineup,. In other words, it is available to any and all retailers that care to carry the set. Occasionally retailers will work with manufacturers to develop what is called a "derivative" model, mainly so the retailer can claim somewhat or total exclusivity on that particular piece of merchandise, and not have to do price reductions or price matching to a TV set sold by one of its competitors. Typically a derivative piece has virtually all of the features of the standard model, except for some small changes, such as a slightly different base/pedestal/legs, a different remote control unit, a different color frame/bezel, slight variations in the amount of HDMI or USB input jacks, or the inclusion or exclusion of electronic features, such as HDR10 or a Dolby Atmos audio chip, for example. A derivative unit also usually has a slightly different model number, such as UJ6350 versus UJ6300, or a truncated version of the standard model number, such as UJ630 versus UJ6300. Derivative models are definitely not "seconds," defective units, or refurbished pieces, and are sold with the typical manufacturer's warranty that is on the standard models in the line-up.
