Smart TV LG 60UQ81006LB 60" 4K ULTRA HD LED WIFI

Product Information

LG C3 OLED evo: The C series OLED saw new 42in and 48in models added in 2022 and both of those make a return in 2023, along with 55in, 65in, 77in and 83in options. Those smaller sets will be particularly appealing to gamers, though gaming provision is magnificent no matter which size you go for, with four HDMI 2.1 ports that support key gaming features such as ALLM, VRR and 4K@120Hz.

LG TV model numbers: LG’s latest OLED, QNED and NanoCell TVs

The two digits following the OLED panel type illustrate the TV’s screen size. In this case, we’re looking at an 83in model. Having said that, if you're looking for the most impressive picture quality out there, regardless of price, nothing currently beats LG's OLED panels for color and contrast (read our LG C2 OLED review).Both formats use what’s called dynamic metadata to tailor the output of the television to the content being displayed, so scenes of dark underground caverns or well-lit drawing rooms vary the levels of brightness, contrast, and picture processing accordingly. You won’t find any gaming features on the UQ81 that would allow you to play next-gen titles. LG would have to provide an HDMI 2.1 interface and 120 hertz for that. But this is simply not part of the specifications. You will also have to do without three-dimensional surround sound and sometimes show some patience when navigating through webOS 22. However, we are not really convinced by the TV. Although the color reproduction is also on a high level for gaming content, the moderate contrast and the moderate peak brightness are not enough for us to give a real recommendation for a well-rounded gaming experience. QNED: Next comes the panel type, which in this case is a Quantum NanoCell Emitting Diode (QNED) panel.

HDR: Ultra HD TVs are compatible with high dynamic range formats including HDR 10 for improved colour and more detail in the shadows. LG B3: The B3 is powered by LG’s less advanced α7 Gen6 AI Processor 4K and misses out on the additional brightness that comes with the evo panels used by the C3 and G3. However, it’s a more affordable entry point into the company’s OLED range and still has four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 120Hz refresh rate panel and support for Dolby Atmos.

That being said, Samsung is dipping its toe into OLED TVs, having launched the Samsung S95B in 2022. Although it's technically what Samsung is calling QD-OLED. Because in this display there's actually a whole new type of OLED technology – one that combines the famous self-emissive properties of OLED with the brightness and color range potential of QLED.

LG UQ81 TV Review ⇒ Our thoughts on this budget TV • tvfindr

Of course, you should not expect a real picture miracle in this price range. Nevertheless, the LG UQ81 can leave one or two positive impressions in terms of display quality. But what do you actually get when you buy this TV? Technically speaking, you would be placing a so-called IPS panel with a Direct LED base without local dimming, which means multi-zone illumination, in your room. LG’s model numbers may look daunting at first glance, but they’re actually relatively easy to decipher once you know what each of the component parts refers to.

Admittedly, the preferred HDR format is only really a concern at the higher end of the price range, but those spending big should think carefully about which services they’re likely to want HDR content on. Apart from that, the LG UQ81 features HGiG for displaying HDR High Dynamic Range – image/video with more dynamic range (contrast range) content and offers you the Game Optimizer, which is already known from more expensive devices. QLED, on the other hand, is a proprietary technology developed by Samsung. QLED uses a filter of quantum dots to enhance color and contrast and make do with several dimming zones to vary brightness across the screen – rather than being able to do so with each pixel individually. QLED TVs are also a lot brighter than OLEDs (thousands of nits versus hundreds) though they can struggle to show both light and dark images as effectively at the same time as a result.
