Plus models - the lack of Smart TV: this will be appreciated in supermarkets, where the monitor is needed for advertising displays. But if the Internet is important and all modern upgrades, then I would pay extra to the price and added another 4 thousand to take the same diagonal monitor LG 32LJ600U.
LG 32LJ600U
A model from the sixth budget series. Behind you will get a decent device capable of competing with premium models in terms of functionality.

Brighter and more saturated colors using Dynamic Color technology.

Great sound - rich, natural with Virtual surround plus technology. The webOS platform, Smart TV will turn the TV into an entertainment media center. You can consider a cheaper option (the same LG 32LJ600U) save and lose in image quality.

LG 32LK6190 cheaper you can save but get a smaller diagonal, low speakers, standard features. Paying extra , the equipment will have a wide diagonal, powerful speakers, many additional innovative features. The price is reduced due to the lack of a wireless connection and Smart TV. I believe that the LG 43LJ510V is the most relevant, sought-after option. Excellent value for money. If you need wider functionality, you can take the model 43UM7450. You pay extra for greater expansion, wireless connectivity, a modern operating system, Smart TV.

LG 49SK8000 is a universal TV with a super UHD screen, which has Nano Cell technology with local dimming. After analyzing the reviews and specifications, I note: the model has a high-quality screen, an updated operating system, a variety of new technologies, works fine in a room with good lighting, but in a dark room the quality of performance decreases. Buyers pay attention to controlling the TV. The modern and functional remote control is valuable here - the cursor with which you can move around the screen, while the remote control does not have to be directed towards the screen. Comparing the gadget with LG 43UM7450, you can see that the second option is cheaper on . You will save on the size of the display, the rest of the technical specifications are the same.

The 49SK8500 has the same disadvantages - it sometimes does not cope with some dynamic scenes when translating to 4K, there are highlights on the monitor. Yes, the TV is assembled with high quality, the functionality is wide. But I think, or worth paying extra to 60 for this model and buy the best 49SM9000or, conversely, pay less on and purchase an equally wonderful device 49SK8000.
LG 49SM9000
New of the year. Great TV in the NanoCell series. It seems to me its only drawback is the high price - ... Otherwise, he is on top. The updated HDMI 2.1 interface with increased bandwidth compared to the "old" HDMI 2.0 (48 Gb / s and 18 Gb / s), as in the LG 49SK8500 or LG49SK8000, means the image and adaptation of any video content are incomparably higher.

Like previous models, the device runs on the basis of an intelligent LG processor. Therefore, the image quality - color rendering, contrast, clarity - are stable even in dynamic scenes. TV was awarded the Best Gadget of 2018 nomination by Hi-Tech. A very thin frame of the monitor creates the effect of no edging, which enhances the effect of realistic video. The relatively low price for a gadget of this level " : most likely due to the "old" backlighting Edge LED, and not Direct LED, as in the same 49SM9000, and weaker sound "20 W versus 40 in the new models of the brand.

An excellent model with a large screen, with the already “standard” for the NanoCell LG series high-quality picture, with all conceivable functions, viewing video content. This model is better than others for games, it’s already called “gaming”. If before me there is a choice between LG 55SK8100 for 63 thousand and 49SM9000 for 80, I would choose the first. But if you love third-party apps, then consider the second option. In 55SK8100 it is difficult to install someone else's software.
LG OLED55B8PLA
Inexpensive TV model with an organic OLED LED. Only You will open a different perception of the picture from the monitor. There will be no blemish issues, true blacks provide stunning contrast, sharpness and depth.

- TV is not for everyone: price () can compare with buying a good used car.
- There is no updated HDMI 2.1 interface. In the "budget" and very "smart" LG 49SM9000who stands on cheaper, it is already there.
LG OLED55B8PLA will be able to bring in new emotions from viewing a clear, realistic picture, add a sensation comparable to a 3D or 5D cinema. Plus bonuses, without which there will be no such perfection of the picture - support for standards, built-in modes. Very high-quality sound - in volume, timbre, purity. Easy control from the remote control, voice, from a distance from a mobile gadget. You can save by paying for the novelty of the year LG 49SM9000 with the same “smart” interface and updated HDMI. To change to LG 75UK6750, which costs 110 thousand and has indicators below in the image, I think it's not worth it.

LG 75UK6750
What can surprise and attract a model with such a large screen? Classic 4K UHD resolution for the series, incredible picture clarity for conventional TV.

Like 60UK6200, TV with a high dynamic range, which means it will quickly pull up "heavy" content up to 4K.
