LG Electronics 65UK6300PUE 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TV 2018 Model

The LG replaced one of the best TV's I ever had. I had a 15 year old Samsung DLP, but not just a DLP, it was the best DLP ever made. No light bulbs, no spinning mirrors, no moving parts. After 12 or 13 years, it started getting white spots, so I replaced the DLP chip myself and it was great again until the remote, and switches would not respond, So in comes the 65" LG, this is the biggest I've bought so far, the others were 62", and a little smaller. This one is big in the bedroom, it's like being at a drive-in. The color is good, nothing blares out to me in the picture that I could complain about. I should tell you that I know what a good picture should look like, and there are a lot of bad TV out there. The LG has a setup that it takes you through to set it up, that was OK. I got rid of DirecTV, and use DirecTVNow through a 4k FireTV box, and it works really well, and cut my TV bill by 75% . You do have to have Internet to get DirecTVNow, it is a streaming service, but it works really well for me. They gave me 125 channels, and HBO for $55 a month, plus I can record. It's all new, and so far, so good. The LG looked really good on my FireTV, and DirecTVNow, which is an app on the FireTV. I did buy a sound bar with a floor standing woofer, but to be honest, the LG was the first really flat Tv to have decent sound. The sound bar and woofer were a bit better, but not so much that I would cry if I didn't have it. It was a Vizio soundbar I bought in a local club store. The TV box came double boxed by Fedex, and the Fedex guy brought it inside, but wanted to leave it outside and make me bring it in. The TV is light, and you have to put legs on it. each leg takes three screws, and they are labeled A and B, so pay attention, or the Tv might be tipsy on you if you put them on backwards. This TV was bought with a 4 year warranty, yes, it cost a little more, but read the details, they fix it in your home, and if they can't fix it they refund your money, how can you beat that. I keep all my electronics on a UPS battery backup. I live in the lightning belt, and lightening will kill a TV, and many other electronics things very easily. Worse than that, it can cause a hard to find problem, one that many TV repair shops might have trouble fixing. It can even cause multiple problems, making it even harder to fix. I have been on UPS battery backup for 20 years, and yes , I have to replace batteries, and and in some cases I had to replace the UPS, that is way better than having all sorts of problems with my TV's, and other electronics stuff. This LG Tv is a bargain, it is a 2018 model, and supports Google Home, and Amazon Alesis . It has bluetooth to connect to a bluetooth sound bar.. So let me share my experience in the local club store when I bought the sound bar. I asked if any of them come with wire connections to the TV , as well as Bluetooth. I worked in electronics my whole life, and I would rather use wire. In any case, he said no, they all use bluetooth, no wire. So I get it home and open the box and there is an optical cable, a 3,5mm cable, and one other cable, so there was 4 ways to connect that sound bar to my TV, not just Bluetooth. So I used the Toslink optical cable to connect the sound bar, but now, about the TV and the sound bar. I had the center channel working on the optical cable, and before that I had it on the 3.5mm wire to my cell phone to hear what it sounded like. When the TV came on it dropped the woofer, which does connect with Bluetooth to the sound bar. So I turned the TV off, and back on, and that was all it needed, all the sound came on as it should. No hassle, it just did its thing and worked. Their are a lot of apps in this TV, so if you are not fortunate enough to have FireTv with a Prime account, which is awesome, and I highly recommend it, the Tv has a lot of other streaming services built into it. One of them is Amazon, but that way of getting Amazon content, in no way compares to FireTV, but there are many other apps also.. You can also plus a USB thumb drive , or maybe even a usb hard drive into the back of the TV and watch video, pictures and music from it, It works really well. Then there are plenty of HDMI connectors, although I only needed one. The remote does leave a little room to complain, the buttons could have been bigger, especially the ones you would use in the dark. Ok, I can replace the remote with a programmable touch screen, but why should i need to do that? Are you reading this LG, get with it , make a great remote for this great TV. You should be able to get 12 to 14, or more feet from a screen this big, Some people get lemons, some people don't know what a good picture is, and some people just like to complain, try to know the difference when you read reviews.

I was absolutely floored to see the sticker price on this 65" behemoth. I figured there had to be some catch, but as far as I can tell, there isn't. I've always had Samsung displays but decided that for the price point, I was willing to give LG a shot and I'm happy that I did. Delivery was performed by a private carrier who was professional and easy to work with. They delivered to us out on a dirt road in Vermont and accommodated my schedule. Before departing, the delivery guys ensured the TV was operational. Perhaps there were too many issues with standard delivery methods (judging by negative reviews stating 'broken on arrival') so this was a welcome change. The picture quality is good. I'm not one to spend hours matching blacks and color balancing, but I'm more than happy with the display. I did notice the "power saving" setting would slowly dim the TV during use which I didn't love, so I disabled that feature. The menu system built into the TV is shockingly easy to use. We use Apple TV for Hulu/Netflix/Prime Video/etc., however have started using the TV's operating system for Prime and Netflix, as our Apple TV is not a 4K model. We had a 55" Samsung that was broken during our move (sad face) and were worried that 65" would be too big. We were wrong. It is DOPE. You should buy this TV, you will not be disappointed. Read more

While the TV itself may seem simplistic with the price point, it's difficult to go wrong with it. As mine has been a workhorse for years, I recommend waiting until Thanksgiving for another sale. Sure the Operating System is slow, and LG never updates their remotes, but think of it like an old hag that sticks with you despite the absolute bullocks that's done sometimes, but overall pretty good and lasted for years.

UPDATE: After two weeks our screen has gone completely grey. LG service walked me through troubleshooting over the phone unsuccessfully. Then they had a contracted tech in our house to inspect the TV within 2 business days. The tech is suspecting either a mainboard or a screen. I hope to update you all with better news. I purchased the LG UK6300 prior to Black Friday deals and was very happy with the value and quality of my choice. I had done considerable research including viewing similar models and styles in brick and mortar stores. While this TV doesn't have the blackest blacks of an OLED screen, I am satisfied with the picture quality for our family's version of 2-3 hours of casual screen-time per day. Also, while other screens like Samsung TV's offer much more vibrant colors tuned more for console game systems, I preferred the default pallet of the model. I do not expect to need or use the higher Hrz rating of premium sets and was pleased with the refresh rate of this model. You definitely will want to pair this with a sound bar/sound system. While they attempt to "simulate" surround sound, it isn't satisfactory. But if you're in the market for a set, you probably already know that. I can't speak much about the durability, but I was very pleased with the packaging and unboxing instructions. The Amazon delivery was timely and helpful and my wife and I were able to get it set up in a couple hours with all our apps and streaming settings. Read more
