Is this too cheap to be a fully 10-bit 4k tele? Going from what i've seen on other people's comments on tv deals on here in the past i assume this lg tv is about half the price of a fully capable 10-bit (full hdr) tv but it's worth asking still as it might be a 5000° deal that I've caught early haha!

Too cheap for a fully 10-bit 4K tele? I got a Sony one off amazon for £550 in 2015. This is about correct for this type of TV. I would wait for Black Friday, and get one sub £600 mark.

HDR is a rewrite of the picture standards designed with room to grow. Nothing on the market right now, not even the studio reference screens costing tens of thousands, can reproduce anything like the full range. I don't think they're even close to half way.
So the question 'is it full HDR' is a pointless one right now as the answer is always no.
The more informative question is 'How much range does it have'?
If you want it in numbers then I'd focus on colour volume, brightness range and (for LCDs) local dimming zones.
The first two affect how bright the TV can get in each colour and white while the latter determines how well the TV can apply those capabilities to a picture with a wide range of brightnesses.
(dimming zones are only for LCDs are OLEDs are always able to apply the full brightness range to each pixel).
I don't know of anywhere that's done those measurements on this UJ750 but rtings tested the UJ770 which I'd expect to be very similar.
Assuming it is then this TV doesn't have much ability to reproduce the extra HDR information because of the poor local dimming system that has few zones that are slow to react, as well as it's limited ability to reproduce colours at the brightness levels it can handle (the normalized DCI-P3 volume figure).
Of course that's not to say it's a bad picture in HDR mode. It's still a high quality normal picture, but anyone looking to be an early adopter of HDR should be looking at TVs twice the price as you say, like the XE90.
Incidentally, the DCI-P3 colour volume coverage is very similar to non-wide gamut, non-RBGW screens like the Samsung MU6300/MU6500 (North American versions of our MU6100 and MU6200).
Now colour volumes are 3D shapes so a simple percentage doesn't tell you which colours it can reproduce, but it certainly raises the possibility that the desaturated colours which were the main real world downside with 'RGBW' aren't an issue for SDR on the wide gamut screens like this.
Good price for a rubbish TV (comparitively), not voting either way. Ok if you can make do with the poor resolution, contrast, lag etc. Wasn't very impressed by this TV :relaxed:

Compared to what? Also - poor resolution?

This is technically only a 3k resolution due to the RGBW structure.

Is this another FAKE 4K TV from LG? :astonished:
sucramco
8 Oct 17#9
yep Faux-K - RGBW = not 4K, adds a white subpixel, colours washy, cannot produce proper 4K IPS panel = lower colour and contrast 8 bit + FRC = not 10bit HDR not the best for input lag Adds up to don't buy me. Existing LG owners will say it's great. But they don't know any better.

Samsung KS series.

So based on that would you say that a tv like This Sony one would be just as good for things like sky HD channels, Netflix, prime instant video etc (all at 1080p), plus the odd bit of PS4 gaming?
sucramco to zba78

Yes. Looks good.

Sorry but i think you are wrong about IPS panel having poor viewing angles its the VA panels that have poor viewing angles article here rtings.com/tv/…lcd
sucramco to BUCKUM2
8 Oct 17#28
Yes IPS have better viewing angles but colour better on VA. Most AV enthusiasts wont sit at angles. I messed up there. doh
BUCKUM2 to sucramco
8 Oct 17#29
Yes but if you are a family of four or five somebody is going to be sitting at an angle ok if it is just you and one other
sucramco to BUCKUM2
8 Oct 17#38
depends where the tv is in the room. We are a family of 4 and often have extra people. No odd viewing angle hear. But if there was, with my tv it wouldn't matter... OLED
This one for checking the specs. display specs Coupled together you'll know what to buy. It's all down to, best for budget.

Yip, just beat me to it. Thanks for posting the links Sucramco but any chance of giving us the second link. Need to do my research before Black Friday or buyer's remorse will strike immediately after i press 'buy'.
The 49SJ800V is £699 at Richer Sounds, with 6 year warranty. Is it a better deal? Thanks

HDR 10 good, IPS panel not so good RGBW not good at all. input lag 15ms brilliant I would for the Panasonic, even though it lacks the colour depth of the LG, it is not RGBW. So is not handicapped by that.

which tv reviews not very good for the panasonic 50ex700B rated only 59% which.co.uk/rev…iew where as the lg 55uj750v is a best buy rated 73% which.co.uk/rev…50v and the lg 49SJ800v is also a best buy rated 72% which.co.uk/rev…00v

I got the 43" version of this and got it refunded. Maybe I got a bad panel, but the backlight uniformity was terrible. Worst I've seen on an LED tv.

Thanks for this, just ordered. I’m no TV geek but the 49” is £759 so this is a deal. Bigger screen and smaller price! 60” is almost £1,200. For the normal tv user I won’t notice the difference with the minor details the tv fanatics pick out!

got last years 850v from currys and its a great all rounder, especially the 3d which you wont get on most other tv's including this one. After using it for a few weeks, the price dropped a bit and I bought another one for the bedroom (yes, a 55'' in the bedroom you wusses!). Its horses for courses as they say and the best bang for your buck.
7% off to get an used item... I wouldn’t pay 50% less...

Don't buy this set, even if it's £100. All you're doing is justifying LGs decision to make faux-k sets to deliberately mislead the customer. Either get their OLED lines or go elsewhere. The 2017 IPS screens are worse in resolution, grey levels and colour accuracy than the equivalent 2016 sets.
If no one buys them they might start making proper 4ksets again. They do still make them, but only the 2 top end models (9000 or 8500) are.

I'm always amused when people go on about hdr and full 4K. There's virtually nothing to watch that is 4K anyway. Netflix and Amazon 4K streams are way below 4K standard they are so compressed. What's available with HDR? Second rate to series and overpriced b movies on 4K bluray. One could argue that very expensive to are a total waste of money due to a complete lack of content. Unless you use your 4K tv to play PC games at 2160p your tv isn't going to exactly busy. Of course bluray can look superb upscaled with a good player and will always look better by miles than Netflix and amazon( celluloid movies only. Digitally shot movies look relatively awful) What do people actually watch in "proper" 4K. I'd be really interested to know.

I can see the attraction in gaming.. but for TV and movies.. whatever! 8K is da future anyway.

I got to agree with mark6226 there is very little 4k content around at the moment, and all these av experts on about faux-4k and rgbw just confuse people. 95% of the time you are going to be watching programs in HD or SD. So its more important at the moment and probably the over the next 3 years that you get a 4k tv that handle's that well, and there are quite a few that dont including some high end sets You should go look at sets on display in shops and read genuine reviews from people who have bought the tv for their experience's. As for 8k you will probably be on your 2nd or 3rd new set by the time that comes out if 4k is anything to go by .
