LG 43UK6300 TV Review

The LG 43UK6300 TV was released in 2018 as a continuation of the brand's budget line with 4K support. It is not equipped with high-tech systems or options, but provides a decent level of picture and sound. I studied the characteristics of the model, compared them with the parameters of TVs Hyundai H-LED43U701BS2S and Philips 43PUS6503 a similar price segment and prepared a detailed review.

This model participates in Best 4K UHD TVs.

Screen

LG 43UK6300

The 42.5 ″ (108 cm) TV has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 px. Supports 4K UHD, HDR. 4K Active HDR technology delivers true-to-life images and enhances the brightness and color saturation of standard definition video. This is clearly seen when watching nature films or playing colorful games.

Thanks to the TFT IPS matrix and FRC technology, the image is equally clear from any place in the room (viewing angle - 178 °). Quad-core processor is able to eliminate noise, improve sharpness.

The colors are juicy, close to the standard. Black is deep, uniform. Brightness - 200 cd / m22... This parameter is inferior to Hyundai H-LED43U701BS2S and Philips 43PUS6503 (360 cd / m22). For HDR content, LG isn't bright enough. Internal color management improves color accuracy. The screen is semi-glossy to reduce direct reflections.

Contrast - 1200: 1, this is the standard setting for TVs with a small diagonal. But the Hyundai model has a much higher contrast ratio of 3000: 1, which provides a sharper image.

The refresh rate is 50 Hz. Thanks to TruMotion Enhancement Technology, the index is raised to 100Hz for smoother on-screen motion in fast moving scenes.

Direct LED backlighting provides an even arrangement of LEDs behind the screen. There are no highlights on the sides of the matrix, but due to the lack of local illumination, when playing back dark scenes, image heterogeneity can be observed.

Sound is provided by two speakers of 10 W each, which is enough for watching programs and films in a normal room. Dolby Digital, DTS decoders enhance depth, realism of sound.
