If you have a tight budget and are mainly interested in watching news, talk shows, or reality TV, the Toshiba C350LU might be suitable for its budget-friendly price. However, its performance in dark rooms and with sports content is modest, and it's not the best choice for a bright room or for gaming. On the other hand, the LG UP8000 is more costly, and while sharing similar performance limitations in picture quality and gaming, it offers slightly better sound quality with Dolby Atmos support and is compatible with High Dynamic Range formats like HLG, which enhances the viewing experience for compatible content. Both TVs may struggle with reflections in bright rooms and have IPS panels, which typically offer wider viewing angles at the expense of contrast. Neither model stands out for movies or as a monitor, and both are equipped with just basic speakers. Give Feedback

How the LG UP8000 (LCD) and the Toshiba C350LU (LCD) compare to other TVs
"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
