I don't think the screen is an ips, also not made by lg, seems to be a third party screen

I believe you are correct. There is much confusion over this panel, as the LG site says it's IPS, but it doesn't quite make sense if it is.
I am wondering how it compares to the Hisense 55M7000 though.

I always go by what it says on the manufacturers website

Well in this case they certainly appear to be wrong. I saw on another forum someone confirmed it by the product code on the box... that indicates the panel manufacturer and as Rosko says, it is Innolux as I recall, same as Panasonic use. Definitely not IPS.

i have this TV. it's an MVA panel made by innolux. it isn't 10 bit so not capable of showing full HDR. it does however have a very nice picture with very bright whites and inky blacks. it's a good deal for this money at this size, but if you want full HDR you'll need to go higher.

I really think these larger sets should have 4 HDMI inputs nowadays for the money. Surely it would cost pennies to add an extra connection ?
You could easily have a sky box and/or free view recorder, Chromecast and/or Amazon stick, Blu-ray player and one or two games consoles to plug in.
3 HDMI just isn't enough these days, and not everyone wants to then get a full-on home theatre box to manage the sources.
