The LG UP7000 is an LCD TV priced in the lower midrange and suitable for someone on a budget. However, it performs poorly for overall picture quality and has difficulty producing deep blacks, making it less ideal for dark room viewing. It has a fair performance in bright rooms, but reflected light can still be an issue. Sports content and regular TV news are also just fairly represented, so it may not be the first choice for very demanding viewers. For gaming, the response is notably slow, impacting fast-paced games, but for casual gaming, it could suffice. It has a 60Hz refresh rate and good for use as a monitor, supporting 4K at 60Hz at 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, but its color representation out of the box and motion processing are both scored as poor. Sound quality is good, which is a plus if you’re not planning on using external speakers. It supports basic HDR formats except for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, enough for a standard viewing experience. Overall, it’s an affordable TV that could work for general viewing but may fall short for specialized or high-quality content demands. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category

Sports:
3.5
The LG UP7000 has a motion processing rating that reflects limitations in handling fast-moving scenes, which can be a drawback for watching sports. Additionally, the set's fair reflections handling means it may struggle with glare in brightly lit rooms, potentially impacting the viewing experience during sports events.
News, Talk & Reality TV:
3.0
The LG UP7000 has subpar SDR brightness, making it less suitable for well-lit environments where news and talk shows are typically watched, and it also struggles with colors out of the box, which can result in less vibrant and accurate images for such content.
Bright Room:
3.0
The LG UP7000 has only a fair performance in handling reflections, which means it will not reduce glare effectively in bright rooms. Additionally, its SDR and HDR brightness levels are rated as fair and poor, respectively, implying the screen doesn't get very bright, so it might appear dimmer in well-lit environments.
