“A: "The 50UK6300BUB has a VA panel instead of an IPS. Also some retailers may have one model and not the other." As you see, LG Answers said the "BUB" model has a VA panel. This means it has a narrower viewing angle than the PUE model?”

Neither technology is inherently superior to the other, they both serve different purposes. In general, IPS TVs will have a wide viewing angle suitable for use in a bright living room for sports or TV shows. They also benefit PC monitor use, since edges darken with a low viewing angle. VA TVs will instead have better contrast rendering them better for use in a dark, home-theater type of environment. ^CP
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I called and talked to LG tech support and the 50UK6300PUE has the VA screen with direct backlighting. VA screens typically have a narrower viewing angle. The 50UK6300PUE viewing angle isn't too bad but I'm not looking at it from the side. VA screens having better contrast than IPS screens do. We are talking about budget friendly Tv's, things change when you start talking about higher end tv's with local dimming.
