LG 65″ class 4K UHD 2160p LED smart TV with HDR 65UM6950DUB review
4K UHD features
4K UHD picture quality is very good but HD-to-UHD upconversion falls short. All native 4K content (non HDR) we played on this model, including movies and test videos, is presented in full 4K detail with excellent fidelity when played back via the TV’s HDMI input. Via the USB port, high-resolution photos are displayed in full 4K detail. With regular HD content, the TV’s HD-to-UHD up-conversion processing falls short, revealing some visible jaggies along the edges of diagonals when playing HD content.
Ports and connection
This model has three HDMI inputs– one supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), one “component/composite shared” input (which means you can only use one type or the other at a time). It also has two USB ports, an optical digital audio out, an Ethernet port, WiFi wireless networking; DLNA, to access files within your home network; Casting, which allows you to send streaming content from your mobile device to the TV via your home network; Screen mirroring, where the image on your smartphone or other compatible device can also appear on the TV.
HD quality picture – LG 65″ class 4K UHD 2160p LED smart TV with HDR 65UM6950DUB
In scenes with subtly shaded light-to-dark areas, such as a sky during sunset, the model does a very good job producing a smooth transition without distinct, coarse bands. There is slight display non-uniformity that creates brighter cloudy areas most noticeable on very dark scenes (or in the black bars of a letterboxed movie). Severity can vary from model to model. Film mode operation for HD film-based content is excellent, with no visible jaggies along the edges of objects during motion scenes. Deinterlacing is very good, with minimal jaggies visible when converting 1080i video content, such as from cable, to the display’s native resolution.
HD picture quality is very good. Reproduction of fine HD image detail is excellent. Color accuracy is very good, with flesh tones in particular, looking natural. Contrast–the difference between the darkest blacks and brightest whites–is good, so images have some depth. Depth of black level is below average, with darker scenes in particular looking hazy, with little contrast. Image brightness is very good (with the backlight control turned up), so the picture is well suited for a brighter room. A lower setting is recommended for a dimmer viewing environment.
HDR performance
It does a good job reproducing a greater range of nuanced shadow detail from black to white, with no obvious banding on areas of the image that have subtle shade variations. There is no visible loss of detail within the highlights of the brightest areas. Brighter colored objects remain nicely saturated.
HDR performance has limited effectiveness. The display’s lack of high peak brightness capability (by HDR standards) limits its ability to show the benefits of HDR on 4K content. The contrast between moderately bright and very bright highlights within a scene is excellent, while the brightness levels in the mid-to-lower tones, like those in an indoor scene, are much dimmer than expected.
Viewing angle
The picture does introduce moderate dimming from the sides. With dark scenes this model doesn’t fare quite as well. When viewed from the sides, the depth of black levels vary depending on the vertical position of the viewer’s head. As we moved closer to the screen this limitation became even more apparent, especially if seated on the floor looking upward where black levels brighten significantly. This LG has a wide viewing angle overall, better than that of most TVs. It will provide fairly consistent picture quality, with fewer problems than most TVs, for typical viewing conditions — say, if your family is seated across a long sectional or in chairs off to the sides.
Audio Quality
The speakers produce a good volume range so this model should play sufficiently loud in typical room environments and without obvious distortion. Also, at higher volume, dynamic compression keeps the sound from distorting but also limits the clarity of peaks in loudness, which can be a bit distracting on some audio content. Most people would find this sound quality acceptable. This model has good sound quality; about average among the models we’ve tested. When watching a blockbuster movie, a concert, or TV show, it delivers decent performance but falls short of the better performers. Bass is adequate, which adds some fullness to the sound but lacking in definition a bit, and treble is nicely detailed, while the overall sound is closed in.
Motion blur
This LG TV has good motion performance, with some blurring on our motion tests. This model does not include a blur reduction feature.
Voice assistant
This Smart TV provides Internet functionality via its “WebOS” portal with access to a library of applications, and a full Web browser. Movie streaming services that can be downloaded to this TV, or are built-in, include Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu. Claimed support for external voice assistants (not built in to the TV) include: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant.
Ease of use
On first power up there is an on-screen guide that helps you through setting up the TV. The remote has a traditional design with a full number key pad. It also provides convenient direct button access to streaming services including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Consider the TV’s stand is 54 inches wide when choosing a table top to place it on.
