<\/p>\nThe LG UR9000 is one of two series in LG’s entry-level 4K TV range to launch in 2023.\u00a0Another series – UR8000 – is located a class below.\u00a0The UR9000 is available in 43\u2033, 50\u2033, 55\u2033, 65\u2033 and 75\u2033 screen sizes.\u00a0All models use IPS panels, with the exception of the 50-inch diagonal, which traditionally uses a VA panel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The main difference from more expensive LG models is the lack of support for HDR formats with dynamic metadata (Dolby Vision or HDR10 +), as well as a panel with a refresh rate of 50 Hz.\u00a0But webOS 23 provides viewing of all streaming services with good scaling of standard definition content up to 4K.\u00a0In the LG 55UR9000 4K HDR review, we will show the main features of the novelty.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The LG 55UR9000 TV looks much the same as its\u00a0UQ9000\u00a0predecessor .\u00a0But if you look at the case from the side, you will immediately see an important difference.\u00a0Due to the rejection of the use of direct LED backlighting in favor of the side (Edge Lit), it became possible to reduce the thickness of the TV by almost half.<\/p>\n Its build quality is pretty good.\u00a0The screen is surrounded by very thin plastic bezels, nothing special, but still attractive.\u00a0The body is plastic, but on the 75-inch model, the back panel is made of metal, making it very durable.\u00a0The V-shaped feet (stand) provide good support for the TV and prevent it from tipping over.<\/p>\n In addition, the legs give the TV enough space to place the soundbar under the screen.\u00a0All ports are directed sideways or downwards, which, despite the small thickness of the LG UR9000 TV, allows you to mount it as close to the wall as possible if you choose to mount it on a VESA mount.\u00a0The Magic Remote has not received any changes.<\/p>\n Imaging technologies are advancing and today even the most basic TVs have a lot to offer in terms of picture quality and features.\u00a0In the case of the UR9000 TV, we are based on an IPS type panel.\u00a0And regardless of other factors, the image contrast of such a matrix leaves much to be desired.<\/p>\n The typical value of the contrast ratio does not exceed 900 : 1, so the LG 55 UR9000 does not have deep blacks.\u00a0Instead, in a dark room, you can see how black shades cast in gray.\u00a0That is, the effect of a cinema at home with a 55UR9000 TV cannot be achieved.\u00a0Note that the 50-inch model got\u00a0a VA matrix\u00a0with a much higher contrast ratio.<\/p>\n The local dimming function, which could improve the contrast of the picture, is absent in the TV in question.\u00a0And it would be difficult to ensure its accurate work in the case of side illumination.\u00a0But while the UR9000 is one of LG’s base models, it’s still nice to see it offer a Filmmaker picture mode.<\/p>\n Despite the low contrast ratio, the LG UR9000 is a decent TV in my opinion.\u00a0Overall image quality is good for an entry-level model.\u00a0Out of the box, the color reproduction is quite decent, and it can be further improved with the help of calibration.\u00a0Although hardly anyone wants to spend extra money on it.\u00a0Then it’s better to buy a TV of a higher class.<\/p>\n The LG UR9000 series does not have the ability to reproduce a wide color gamut, so it is not the best choice for HDR viewing.\u00a0And in general, speaking of HDR content, a high peak brightness in the appropriate mode is required for proper display.\u00a0The UR9000 has decent brightness for SDR content, about 250 nits.<\/p>\n Of course, it may not be enough for a room with a lot of natural light.\u00a0And if you want the image to be as bright as possible, use the Vivid image mode.\u00a0However, this will come at the cost of image accuracy in terms of color reproduction.\u00a0But the peak brightness of 300 nits for HDR mode is clearly not enough.<\/p>\n A few words about other parameters.\u00a0Traditionally for IPS matrices, black screen uniformity on this TV is not very good.\u00a0The screen in this case has a cloudy and grayish appearance.\u00a0Detail and clarity are good for quality 1080p and 4K content.\u00a0480p (non-HD) content also displays acceptable.\u00a0HD images look sharp and clear.<\/p>\n The lateral viewing angle on the UR9000 TV is decent, again thanks to the IPS panel.\u00a0Image quality has minimal color saturation and loss of contrast when viewed only at wide viewing angles.\u00a0Motion rendering was generally smooth.\u00a0You may experience slight artifacts when playing content with fast movements.<\/p>\n When it comes to gaming, the LG UR 9000 TV can easily please even the hardcore gamer.\u00a0The image output delay (input lag) has a value of about 10 ms.\u00a0This is a very good indicator.\u00a0Let’s not forget to turn on the game mode for this, which bypasses all the chains of additional video signal processing.\u00a0The only negative for modern ones is the screen refresh rate is only 50 Hz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like all 2023 LG TVs, the 55UR9000 is powered by the\u00a0webOS 23\u00a0smart platform .\u00a0Its main differences from webOS 22 are to reduce the home screen scrolling pages to 2 and expand the capabilities of family profiles.\u00a0Shrinking pages makes the interface faster and more responsive.<\/p>\n And all the necessary information such as favorite applications and services is now grouped into Quick Cards.\u00a0They can be placed at your discretion and quickly navigate with their help to the desired content.\u00a0With individual personal profiles, you can receive personalized recommendations for movies, games, and more.\u00a0The operation of the operating system and image processing is implemented by the chipset based on the \u03b15 AI Gen6 processor.<\/p>\n Who.Where.What?\u00a0(What, where, when) in the LG ThinQ AI environment with Google Assistant and built-in Alexa can find the information you need with just a voice request.\u00a0The LG Shop Time app also works with this feature.\u00a0It greatly simplifies the shopping process without leaving home.\u00a0Let’s also mention LG Channel.\u00a0It provides access to almost two hundred free Internet TV channels.<\/p>\n The LG UR90 series audio system sounds as expected, as a typical 20W two-channel system should sound.\u00a0With a noticeably distinguished level of mid frequencies, the frequency response has a strong blockage in the bass region.\u00a0Hence the clear, clear dialogues and the lack of assertiveness, richness of the sound picture.\u00a0In other words, for movies and music, it is better to purchase an additional soundbar.<\/p>\n Dolby Atmos is not supported, but the AI \u200b\u200bSound Pro intelligent sound system can turn ordinary stereo sound into a virtual multi-channel 5.1.2 Up-mix.\u00a0Like the more expensive LG TB 2023 models, there is an AI Acoustic Tuning function that best adjusts the sound parameters in accordance with the acoustic performance of the room.<\/p>\n With the Bluetooth Surround Ready option, you can connect rear speakers and get a physical multi-channel audio system.\u00a0Just keep in mind that the surrounding channels will still be virtual, i.e.\u00a0extracted from the stereo track.\u00a0But it’s probably still better than the sound of only two front channels from the TV’s downward-facing speakers.<\/p>\n The LG UR 90 TV has three HDMI 2.0b ports (one of them with\u00a0eARC\u00a0) and two USB 2.0 ports.\u00a0The list also includes a LAN port, a digital optical audio output, and two antenna jacks (number and type vary by region).\u00a0Wireless connectivity is represented by WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0.<\/p>\n The LG UR9000 is one of two series in LG’s entry-level 4K TV range to launch in 2023.\u00a0Another series – UR8000 – is located a class below.\u00a0The UR9000 is available in 43\u2033, 50\u2033, 55\u2033, 65\u2033 and 75\u2033 screen sizes.\u00a0All models use IPS panels, with the exception of the 50-inch diagonal, which traditionally uses a VA […]
