Technology is advancing so fast that we don't even know what to expect from a regular TV anymore. The LG 43UJ639V gets so mixed reviews that it's hard to know if this model is worth buying or if you should look at other options.
This is all due to the fact that not all people know about, say, 4K resolution and HDR technology. Therefore, for them the picture becomes noticeably better. More experienced users can compare TVs by these parameters and be dissatisfied with something. So we get two camps of comments: positive and negative.
Company
LCD and LED TVs have been produced by LG for a long time. In general, this manufacturer has been known since 1947. Now it is the fourth largest company. LG Group includes several subsidiaries, including LG Electronics Inc.
It is this subsidiary that manufactures electronics and home appliances. It was founded a little later than the main financial and industrial group. In 1958 she began her active work.
Products
One of the mainThe direction of this corporation was the production of LCD and LED TVs. In addition to them, the company can boast of audio equipment: karaoke, players, music centers. Produces video equipment: cameras, cameras, etc.
Mobile phones, laptops, PC monitors, and some accessories are also popular. Under this brand, they sell air conditioners, air filters, energy-saving products, etc.
TV
The hero of the review is the LG 43UJ639V TV. It is impossible to say that this is a completely new and revolutionary product. Against the background of all similar models, this one is unremarkable. Features such as 4K resolution, HDR technology, embedded operating system have become familiar to the modern user.
The point is different: not everyone can afford such equipment in their home. Hence the misunderstanding of which characteristics can be considered really useful, and which ones are presented for the purpose of an advertising campaign.
If not for the cost, this model could easily be called an ordinary TV. But since it is not available to everyone, let's try to describe all its advantages and possibilities.
Family
The LG 43UJ639V LED TV belongs to the affordable models of the UJ639V family. In some countries, the ruler is called UJ632. This includes the world's smallest 4K TV. Its diagonal is 43 inches, there are also variations with 49 inches.
As mentioned earlier, the hero of the review is endowed with 4K resolution, HDR technology and webOS 3, 5. The cost of this model is averageis $600.
Comparison
If you follow the latest from this company and roughly understand the situation on the market, then most likely, at the first glance at this model, you will see representatives of the UJ630V and UJ634V series in it. And then, if you want to find comparisons, you will hardly find a difference from last year's options.
If we take into account the fact that this is considered an average price segment, and no one claims to be unique, then such copying is quite common for everyone. As a result, we have a conditional continuation of the previous models with slightly increased performance, which in fact does not affect anything. So the reviewed model stands out only because it was released in 2017.
Delivery
Reviews TV LG 43UJ639V regarding the delivery and configuration collected good. Yes, the manufacturer did not get smart with the box. Before us is the usual branded packaging from the company. The cardboard is thick and generally ensures safe transportation of the screen.
The white box received a minimum of graphic elements. On the front of it, a burgundy branded strip was placed, on which the main parameters were indicated.
In the upper left corner is the company logo with its slogan: "Life's Good". In the upper left corner it is indicated that we have a “new 2017” in front of us, which once again proves to us the only advantage of this model over last year's.
In the middle, in large letters, it is indicated that we have an Ultra HD TV with 4K. Under it, smaller letters describe the family to which the model belongs, as well asTV screen size 43 inches (108 cm).
As you can see, such a description can be made for any last year's model or this year's product. It remains only to change the value of the diagonal.
The four main characteristics of the TV were indicated on the burgundy strip:
- IPS 4K Matrix.
- Active HDR.
- Ultra Surround available.
- Working model based on webOS 3, 5 Smart TV.
In the box, in addition to the device itself, there are a couple of instructions and manuals for use, connection and configuration. Also includes remote control and power cable.
Appearance
So, as mentioned earlier, we have a TV with an IPS panel. It has a simple design, but at the same time it remains true to the latest fashion trends. A diagonal of 43 inches, although considered the smallest in 4K resolution, in reality does not look like it at all. Before us is a very large, massive screen. It looks great both on the stand and on the wall.
The model mimics a bezel-less variation, although of course there is a thin bezel around the screen. It seems metallic due to the fact that it is covered with gloss. But, of course, no one would use metal. Therefore, we have a good quality plastic. As practice and time show, it does not burst, does not crack and looks good.
TV LG 43UJ639V received different reviews about the stand. This is due to the fact that in different countries it is structurally different. From here, someone was pleased with the wide crescent-shaped stand, and someone was not veryI liked the installation on two small legs.
The company logo is placed on the bottom frame. On a light frame, it is barely noticeable. In addition, the panel at the bottom is so thin that its dimensions are miniature. Right there, below, they made a small block for control. The power button and indicator were placed here. There are also speaker grilles.
If you look at the TV from the front, you can't call it super thin. Behind it is slightly convex. In terms of design, there is nothing outstanding here. Ports are placed in a special conditional compartment. They are easily accessible from the left side.
Remote control
As mentioned in the description of the LG 43UJ639V TV, you can find a remote control in the box. There is a "magic bullet" called the Magic Remote. It has a curved shape with large rubberized buttons.
For those who have not used this before, it can take a long time to get used to it. Although all the buttons are logically arranged in groups. There is a scroll wheel in the middle - like a mouse wheel. A very convenient element that will help you flip through pages on the Internet or clips on YouTube. We also placed special buttons on the remote to access Netflix and Amazon Prime resources.
Main parameters
So, the LG 43UJ639V TV got the usual characteristics for any similar model in this price segment. If you look at Samsung or Sony TVs for the same price, you will see the same numbers and technology.
The series includes two models for 43 and 49 inches. We have a smaller reviewoption. It works with a screen resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. It shows images in 4K with active HDR technology. For those to whom the latest indicators are an empty word, you need to explain.
Innovations
Let's start with the concept of "4K". This is the latest newfangled resolution that indicates the resolution in digital cinema and computer graphics. Conventionally, it equals indicators of 4 thousand pixels horizontally.
After the 4K resolution became fashionable, and it was used in their specifications by all and sundry, the experts decided to approve special instructions for technology. Having a list of the desired characteristics, she can rightfully use this parameter.
As a result, several digital cinema standards have appeared on the market that correspond to 4K resolution. These include full-frame, academic, cached, widescreen and ultra. All these standards differ slightly in terms of pixels and aspect ratio.
HDR is a technology that works to improve images and videos that have a brightness range well above standard. As practice shows, such pictures become more contrast, while maintaining the naturalness and correctness of colors.
Features
A 43-inch TV like this has a lot to offer the average user. For example, you can use the 360 VR feature. It implements the effect of virtual reality. Therefore, if you have worked with photos taken on a VR camcorder, then the results can be viewed on suchTV.
Another Magic Mobile feature helps you sync data from another device to LG 43UJ639V. So you can show your guests photos from the last trip on the big screen, which are stored on your phone, tablet or laptop.
Settings
After starting to work with a brand new device, you may have questions about setting up. The LG 43UJ639V TV is based on the updated webOS 3, 5 operating system. Thanks to it, you can complete the initial setup.
The virtual assistant Bean Birds appears in the system. It's pretty funny animated and well crafted. When you first turn it on, it takes you on a tour of the system. Describes the main functions and features. All this is accompanied by video instructions. It is important to remember that such an assistant appears only once. But you can call it if you need to reconfigure.
System
The interface of the updated OS is very simple and intuitive. There are no tricky sections that lead nowhere. When turned on, we are greeted by a welcome screen. After that, you can click on the "Home" button, which will open the application launcher.
There are already quite a few of them. Of the pre-installed, there are also useful services, and there are those that you are unlikely to ever turn on. You can also additionally install the programs you need.
Despite the seemingly perfect system, reviews of it are not always positive. Yes, it's well thought out and easy to use. But in time you startnotice the brakes. The interface sometimes freezes, slows down or thinks for a long time. There are delays of several seconds.
Testing
There are few reviews to complete the picture of the LG 43UJ639V TV. As practice shows, it is necessary to conduct additional tests that would provide more information.
As a result, the quality of the video turned out to be really good. 4K resolution affects the quality of the picture, making it clear and detailed. If you connect a laptop to the screen, then you will not be able to further improve the image. So don't even try this trick.
Viewing angles in specifications are listed as wide. In fact, this indicator is very subjective. Testing also showed that the viewing angles are average. The picture is slightly blurred at the edges.
Analysis of the system also did not give any cool results. Despite the quad-core processor, the TV stutters, especially when switching from one application to another.
Reviews
Reviews of the LG 43UJ639V TV can be a good conclusion. The owners of this model were generally satisfied. They noted a good picture, good sound, implemented by two speakers, a simple operating system and 4K resolution. The IPS matrix produces natural correct colors.
Technologies that improve images also work well. The rest of the options are nice additions. They may not be used by everyone, but they will definitely make a good gift for experienced owners.
There were also many shortcomings. Noted the lack of a linear output for headphones or speakers. The refresh rate of 50 Hz is a low figure both for this resolution and for the diagonal. Nevertheless, some noticed the jamming of the Smart system. Someone lacked brightness and color quality.
Otherwise, we have a standard TV in the budget segment among models with 4K resolution. Its main advantage is its size, updated OS and UHD availability. Everything else turned out to be somewhat unfinished and “raw”. Although for 35,000 rubles, you probably won’t get more.
