A new year began and many brands have started to work on their new models, obviously\u00a0LG was\u00a0not going to be left behind in that sense and has already released a more than interesting model.\u00a0Especially if we consider the different features it includes.\u00a0Today we are going to delve into the analysis of the\u00a0LG UP81,\u00a0a more than interesting option.<\/p>\n

Mainly if you are planning to renew your old TV and want to get into the new features that are currently offered,\u00a0since the LG 55UP8100 is considered in the high-end category\u00a0, therefore, its value may be a bit high, however, after checking its operation it may be totally worth it.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the LG UP81<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The design seen last year is maintained a bit, however, it still looks good in any position<\/p>\n

On an aesthetic level, the\u00a0LG 55UP81006LA.AEU\u00a0does not change much compared to several models presented last year, therefore, there will not be many details that are going to make a difference.\u00a0However, this does not mean that its design is bad, on the contrary, it still looks good, in addition,\u00a0we are talking about a TV with a somewhat large size\u00a0.<\/p>\n

For this reason, it is ideal for large rooms, likewise, its chassis comes in black,\u00a0which fascinates us because of the integration it has with the decoration of the place where it is placed\u00a0.\u00a0Another important detail is that its front gives us quite slim bezels that unleash incredible elegance from almost any angle.<\/p>\n

As if that were not enough, this also suits the screen as such, since it will have a much wider useful space that is perfect when it comes to watching content,\u00a0so we will not have obstacles as is sometimes seen by thicker frames\u00a0.\u00a0The back has a clean construction and at all times it is sought to respect the thin term.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

Something that we have been liking about the new televisions that are coming out is that some models reduced the number of connectors available, and only those that are truly indispensable are integrated, for example, its three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0to connect various devices such as laptops, consoles or players.\u00a0There are also two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0that serve to reproduce content,\u00a0although its most notable advantage is the possibility of recording\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Other connections that can also be widely used are its\u00a0fiber optic input\u00a0for an incredible transmission speed, likewise, it has an\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port\u00a0that allows us to connect the TV directly to the Router and receive a better internet signal, although This forces us to keep the team close.\u00a0Let’s move on to wireless where we have\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0and\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0excellent options to connect.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the LG 55UP81006LA<\/h2>\n

Nothing bad to say about the great image quality that the\u00a0LG 55UP81006LA\u00a0gives us\u00a0, since it is perfect to enjoy any content with more than obvious clarity.\u00a0This is achieved thanks to its 4K resolution that offers greater power to receive realistic images, likewise, we\u00a0witness a number of deeper details\u00a0.<\/p>\n

It is accompanied by a\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0panel\u00a0that for obvious reasons we are going to consider the weakest for this issue, since the backlighting that it gives us is a bit weak for the need for a television like this.\u00a0Especially if we are in very dark\u00a0or\u00a0bright areas\u00a0, therefore, the placement will also be important so as not to lose quality.<\/p>\n

The good thing is that different improvement technologies are implemented that will be of great help so that the final result is not greatly affected.\u00a0For example, we have\u00a0Dynamic Color\u00a0that seeks to show more accurate and vivid colors so that each scene becomes more realistic.\u00a0With\u00a04K Upscaler\u00a0, quality is increased regardless of definition.<\/p>\n

To receive a sharper and more precise\u00a0contrast\u00a0,\u00a0LG Local Contrast is available\u00a0, although this parameter also benefits from its dynamic formats such as\u00a0HDR10 Pro\u00a0and\u00a0HLG\u00a0that are normally already found in most content.\u00a0Noise Reduction\u00a0gives us a reduction of noise in the image for more fluid scenes.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

The audio quality is more than acceptable at a general level, however,\u00a0we believe that your speakers could have included a little more power\u00a0, since they maintain what is normally offered in the mid-range, we are talking about 20W total than in certain content they are not sufficient for a deeper or more precise experience as the case may be.<\/p>\n

Here the real advantage is received in all the enhancement technologies that have been implemented, for example, we have\u00a0Clear Voice\u00a0to hear clearer dialogues.\u00a0For its part,\u00a0Dolby Digital\u00a0,\u00a0LG Sound Sync\u00a0and\u00a0Sound Mode Sync\u00a0give us a much more immersive and clean experience that we also have thanks to\u00a0Ultra Surround\u00a0.<\/p>\n

LG 55UP8100 software review \/ Smart TV and more<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

For this model they have decided to integrate the latest version of their own webOS system<\/p>\n

The\u00a0LG 55UP8100\u00a0already comes with\u00a0webOS 6.0\u00a0which turns out to be the latest update of this great system that continues to improve its optimization and security, in addition,\u00a0navigation between the different available sections feels even more fluid\u00a0.\u00a0As if that were not enough, we have a wide catalog of applications to install on the TV.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the most popular options such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0YouTube\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0,\u00a0Disney +\u00a0and\u00a0Apple TV are included\u00a0.\u00a0With these applications we have an incredible amount of movies and series to enjoy.\u00a0Do not forget that with\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0and\u00a0Amazon Alexa\u00a0we can control certain functions using only the voice.<\/p>\n

In order to receive a cinematographic experience, we have\u00a0Filmmaker Mode\u00a0that reproduces the films as the director prepared them.\u00a0Another application that we cannot leave out is\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0that allows us to transmit images, videos and music from an iPhone or iPad.\u00a0Without a doubt, the\u00a0LG 55UP81006LA.AEU\u00a0is a good option.<\/p>\n
