You will notice MANY TVs that are 4K LED with different companies having multiple models that are low end and high end. This has to do with other factors that create BETTER picture quality. Some TVs will have LED only around the edges of the TV while other have LED all over the panel (edge lit vs full array local dimming). The latter is more expensive as it uses more LEDs. Other TVs have faster processors which can decrease input lag time and refresh rates (for video games and diminishing the look of "ghosting" or trailing images). Some will have robust apps while other do not. That being said, it is easy to say 4K ULTRA HD to people and trick them into thinking the TV has GREAT picture quality when it really does not. 4K means it just has MORE LINES on the screen. Consumers don't do enough research or care enough about specifics. They see 4K and a low price and think they are getting a great deal (when in essence you can have a 1080p high end TV produce a better quality picture than a low end 4K).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It uses RGBW instead of RGB, see here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/166-lcd-flat-panel-displays/2398506-rgb-vs-rgbw-lcd-4k-ultra-hd-designation.html Also it has only an 8 bit panel instead of 10 bit, thus it will lack the spectacular colors and highlights. It also has no local dimming.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This LG 60UH6035 tv is low in price because it has no controls on the set,all control is through the remote,has less features, uses cheaper panels and the quality of the picture reflects it.For a 4 k set it is lacking in brightness and contrast.The blacks are not truly black but more of a darker shade of gray.I bought this tv about a month ago at Best Buy.This the fifth LG tv I have purchased since 2010.The others are all 1080p and working great.My 55" 55LD520 has almost 17,000 hours and beautiful color that is full and rich.However, this 60" 60UH6035 4K I bought for my family room, lacks the brightness and contrast I have come to expect from LG. No amount of adjustment helps I am truly disappointed.If you are looking for a top quality breathtaking 4k picture I would spend a little more and buy a Samsung.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's an entry level and the picture is what you expect for 4K
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is RGBW some of the parts of the pixels aren't color, only white. Screens with rgbw are usually cheaper to make, but they don't look quite as good as the same screen with RGB.
