Colour Accuracy

This television comes with LG’s colour accuracy technology. Hence, it allows for accurate colour accuracy on screen. What this means for you is that the colours remain almost true whether you see it from the side of the front.

This is not always true for conventional TVs, where the colours may be distorted if they are viewed from the side. These colours also remain true to life giving you a realistic picture as you watch

Local Dimming

While the picture quality is excellent, movie enthusiasts may be a little disappointed. It is because this TV does not support local dimming. This feature is necessary to dim the backlight and give you darker blacks.

That being said, the blacks on this TV are not very bad. However, the local dimming can make them much better, and seasoned movie lovers are sure to notice the lack.

Excellent Smart TV Interface

Another critical reason that the LG 43UM7400PLB stands out is because it has one of the best Smart TV interfaces on the market. It incorporates LG’s refined webOS operating system. It has folders, sidebars and icons that are superimposed.

Hence, you will have easy access to smart content. The best part is that you won’t have to leave your present screen image to access the interface controls.

Powerful Quad-Core Processor

You will find a precise and powerful quad-core processor that uses the UHD 4K signals to the best of its capability. Hence, you will notice that the colour contrast on the screen is better because of this.

It enhances the UHD 4K and works to reduce noise. You will be delighted to know that even standard FHD signals can be easily upscaled to bring it closest to 4K clarity quickly. It is owing to LG’s Resolution Upscaler.

The detail is also enhanced, and you will find your Blu-rays shine with clarity on the screen.

Sound Quality

LG 43UM7400PLB television has two built-in speakers. Each of these has 10W of power. The audio output and loudness are good enough if the room is small. However, for larger spaces, you will have to opt for external speakers.

Hence, if the goal is to bring a home cinema to your space, this TV won’t be able to satisfy you on its own. The sound on the speakers is, however, clear. They do not have any enhancing qualities and will give you just what the original content delivers.

If you do opt for speaker, you will be treated to some good audio in the ultra-surround sound mode.

Screen Uniformity

The TV offers good screen uniformity, and you will find no banding effects on screen. However, there will be some minor Dirty Screen Effect. What this means is that the right edge your screen will be slightly darker than the left.

You can, however, expect some great viewing angles. Because of the IPS panel on this TV, you can expect a relatively wider viewing angle than TVs with VA panels.

Real Cinema Mode

This TV has a 60Hz panel. Hence, it cannot use motion interpolation. This means that you cannot reduce motion blur on the screen. However, you can use an alternative. Go to the picture mode menu and switch to the real cinema.

With this, any 24fps movie can be watched easily on the screen. You won’t see any blurring or judder on your screen.

Excellent Gaming Monitor

Any gamer will be delighted to have this TV as their gaming monitor. It comes with an input lag of about 12ms whether it is on 4K HDR or 1080p SDR. This input lag is barely noticeable. You will have to go to picture mode and select game option here.

With this, you will have an excellent quality picture as you play. The television also supports ALLM or Auto Low-Latency Mode. This is an excellent indication that the television was explicitly designed for gaming as well.

It is because ALLM will switch to game mode automatically when it detects a console that is compatible. For instance, if you use the Xbox One X, it will automatically employ game mode. However, do note that this is only true for compatible consoles.
