Wide viewing angle, many technologies for the brightest, sharpest picture, powerful 20 W speakers, Smart TV, DLNA. For its price - - such a TV covers all basic viewing needs. I analyzed why customers like it so much and compared it with the main competitorsSamsung UE43NU7400U andSony KDL-43WF665.
This model participates in rating of the best TVs 43 inches and in ranking of the best LG TVs.
Screen
The screen with a diagonal of 43 inches has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 px, is equipped with Direct LED backlighting, an IPS matrix. Image quality is better than that of models with FullHD support, in this LG wins against the competition. There is FRC technology, color depth is 8 bits. The viewing angle of the screen is 178 °. The refresh rate is 60 Hz. It is desirable to watch it at a distance of 181 cm from the screen.
The image format is 4K, which contributes to high detail of objects and the transmission of realistic images. When viewed, there is no glare on the screen regardless of the angle from which you view the content.
The quad-core processor contributes to more dynamic color reproduction, better contrast, even low-quality images approach the 4K format, improving thanks to the model’s built-in technologies. Working in 4K Active HDR mode, the screen recognizes inaccuracies in color reproduction and improves these indicators. Multi HDR (HDR10 + HLG) maximizes the quality of any picture when viewed.
Multi HDR technology has a model Samsung UE43NU7400U for 34.5 thousand. And at Sony Sony KDL-43WF665 for 37 thousand, in addition to FullHD and HDR, there is a Motionflow function, which ensures the smoothness of dynamic scenes.
The TV has a built-in light sensor, so you don't have to worry about your eyesight during any viewing: the screen brightness automatically adjusts to the local lighting.

Sound
Realistic sound due to the multidimensional sound that is heard from all sides is a feature of the sound reproduction of the model. It is provided by two speakers with a total power of 20 watts. You can transmit sound via Bluetooth.
The power is enough for high-quality sound transmission, and not all models with this price can boast the same. The more expensive Sony KDL-43WF665 TV has only 10 watts of total speaker power.
