We are talking about the new LG UR78 that appears as a striking proposal for those looking for good quality, yes, its price goes up slightly due to its size.<\/p>\n<h2>Design<\/h2>\n<figure

almost at all with respect to other models in the same range, even speaking of those of past years.\u00a0This for some may be something negative, however, it means that its aesthetics have been well received.\u00a0In this case, the first thing to consider is its 75-inch size, which forces us to place it in the right place because of how big it is.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

it on the wall, yes,\u00a0it is a tool that is purchased separately\u00a0.\u00a0But perhaps it is worth it to continue improving its appearance, and having it in this position causes its front to stand out due to the thin bezels that it integrates.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_164542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-164542\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

class=\"wp-caption-text\">LG UR78 is a slim and good looking TV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These allow the presence to be better, even reaching a certain elegance.\u00a0It will also be necessary to highlight the rear part that shows a small space, which generates a slim appearance almost completely\u00a0.\u00a0It does not become a modern or minimalist design, but it defends itself compared to other models of its competition that remain a duty in this section.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>Use only the necessary connectors, this to avoid excessive use of cables and give a better order that also contributes to the design theme.\u00a0In this case we have three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs that allow the transmission of audio and video from compatible devices.\u00a0There are many options, but among the most common we find consoles, computers, laptops and players.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_164541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-164541\" class=\"wp-caption

class=\"wp-caption-text\">LG UR78 back panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For its part, the two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports that it has allow us to play multimedia content from units that are compatible thanks to the player that it integrates, obviously accepting the most popular formats.\u00a0In the event that one is not available, you can convert said file from pages that exist on the Internet.\u00a0We do not know if there is the possibility of recording content.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the physical connections are the typical ones that we will see in most televisions, therefore, we do not make a specific mention of them, however, we leave them in the specifications table so that you know what options you have.\u00a0In this table you can also find the tuners that will be compatible.\u00a0At the wireless level we have options such as\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0,\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0and\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Image quality and functions in general of the LG 75UR7800<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0LG 75UR78006LK\u00a0has an acceptable image worthy of the mid-range, so don&#8217;t expect something amazing either.\u00a0For this model there is a\u00a04K\u00a0resolution that by its own power tries to make the details more precise, however, it does not happen due to other factors that we will mention.\u00a0The most important is that it has a\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0backlight .<\/p>\n<p>It is not a complaint as such, since most televisions within this range use said panel.\u00a0However, we must take some care of the environment where we have the television, since it can present some quality losses in very dark or bright environments.\u00a0The idea is to find a place that has somewhat more balanced lighting.\u00a0Luckily it has improvement technologies.<\/p>\n<p>But before talking about them, we must mention that it integrates an\u00a0IPS\u00a0panel that, as advantages, offers better viewing angles, that is, regardless of your location, quality is maintained, obviously there will also be weak points such as low levels of contrast and brightness, without However, these problems are solved with the best ones that work precisely on these parameters.<\/p>\n<p>They won&#8217;t be many features either, but they do a good job of enhancing the viewing experience in terms of color, contrast, and brightness which are the essential aspects of an image.\u00a0Let&#8217;s not forget its compatibility with\u00a0HDR10 Pro\u00a0and\u00a0HLG\u00a0, formats that also add to the quality improvement, although its operation becomes dependent on the compatibility of the content.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>The power of its speakers is what we have left to owe, especially on a large television like this one.\u00a0It only has\u00a020W\u00a0that for content with a higher demand will be left to duty.\u00a0Luckily it integrates important enhancement technologies that generate a better experience, however, perhaps they are not enough and it will be necessary to use an external sound system.<\/p>\n<h3>Software analysis \/ Smart TV and more noteworthy features<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0LG 75UR7800\u00a0integrates the most recent update of its own system, known as\u00a0webOS 23\u00a0, which we must say does not change much compared to the previous version, except for certain improvements in optimization and security to deliver a more intuitive and fluid system.\u00a0In terms of features, there are few changes, but it is always appreciated that you implement new functions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

the most popular options.\u00a0In the same way we can control certain functions through voice commands thanks to\u00a0Amazon\u00a0Alexa\u00a0, thus we have a better order and we facilitate the use of the television.\u00a0One of the most interesting features is the creation of profiles that is excellent in case several people are going to use the television.<\/p>\n<p>So each user can customize their profile as they like without anyone interfering or moving the selections you make.\u00a0We also find it important to mention that it works with\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0and\u00a0Apple Homekit\u00a0that allow you to stream content from an iPhone, iPad or Mac. Smart devices can be controlled in the same way.\u00a0It includes some technologies to improve gaming.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-164549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-28.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-28.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-28-1200x715.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-28-770x459.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-28-1536x915.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>LG UR78: Pros and cons<\/h3>\n<p><strong>PROS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Design<\/li>\n<li>connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Image<\/li>\n<li>enhancement features<\/li>\n<li>webOS 23<\/li>\n<li>profiling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>CONS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Price is a bit high<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>LG UR78 Specifications:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wpsm-table wpsm-table-black\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\"><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Make model<\/td>\n<td>LG 75UR78006<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Size<\/td>\n<td>75\u2033 (190.5cm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Resolution<\/td>\n<td>4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aspect Ratio<\/td>\n<td>16:9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frequency<\/td>\n<td>50 \/ 60 Hz (hertz)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>backlight<\/td>\n<td>Direct LED<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Smart TV<\/td>\n<td>Yes, webOS 23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Integrated Wi-Fi<\/td>\n<td>Yeah<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bluetooth<\/td>\n<td>Yeah<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3D<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>usb recorder<\/td>\n<td>\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>tuners<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Analog (NTSC\/PAL\/SECAM)<\/li>\n<li>DVB-T2<\/li>\n<li>DVB-C<\/li>\n<li>DVB-S2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sound<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>2 x 10 W (watts)<\/li>\n<li>2.0CH<\/li>\n<li>AI Sound (Virtual 5.1 up-mix)<\/li>\n<li>Bluetooth Surround<\/li>\n<li>Clear Voice Pro<\/li>\n<li>Down firing<\/li>\n<li>Dolby Digital<\/li>\n<li>LG Sound Sync<\/li>\n<li>soundshare<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dimensions without stand (H x W x D)<\/td>\n<td>964 x 1678 x 59.9mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dimensions with stand (H x W x D)<\/td>\n<td>1027 x 1678 x 361mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight (Without \/ With support)<\/td>\n<td>31.4kg \/ 31.8kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>VESA compatibility<\/td>\n<td>Yes, 400 x 400mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDMI ports<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>USB ports<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>other connectors<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>DLNA<\/li>\n<li>RJ45 Ethernet<\/li>\n<li>Satellite input (F-type female)<\/li>\n<li>Optical output for audio<\/li>\n<li>Antenna (RF) (female)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CI+ Integrated<\/td>\n<td>Yes v2.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Energy Class<\/td>\n<td>Category F<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Content \/ Accessories<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Remote control<\/li>\n<li>batteries<\/li>\n<li>power cord<\/li>\n<li>user&#8217;s Guide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG released a few new TVs\u00a0 this year and obviously there will be options for the medium and high range, however, we are going to analyze the first category with a model that attracts attention due to the features it integrates, which together seem to provide a good performance.
