LG 43UK6200 appeared in 2018. Today it is sold for 27 thousand rubles. This is one of the brand's cheapest 43-inch TVs. At the same time, the manufacturer promises excellent picture and sound, smooth 4K video playback and improved video quality in real time with upscaling. Is this possible? Is it really possible to buy a 43-inch Smart TV in 2019 for less than 30 thousand with such capabilities? I tested this device, and also compared it with two worthy competitors (Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 43 for 26,000 rubles and Samsung UE40NU7100U for 27,500). What came of this, see below.
This model participates in rating of the best Smart TV TVs.
Screen
LG 43UK6200 is equipped with a 43-inch matrix, resolution - UHD with active HDR and proprietary technologies HDR10 pro and HLG pro, True Motion. FRC technology allows an eight-bit matrix to transmit a picture visually comparable to a 10-bit one. The quad-core GPU enhances the image in real time, increasing its resolution. The picture on the screen of this TV is bright, juicy, detailed, dynamic scenes look amazing. The viewing angles are gorgeous, the picture quality from any angle is perfect. Rivals -Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 43 and Samsung UE40NU7100U - do not lag behind in this regard. Objectively, it is difficult to say which of these TVs produces a better picture. Samsung UE40NU7100U has a diagonal of 40 inches - this is its disadvantage.
Appearance
LG 43UK6200 looks exquisite, the frame around the matrix is completely metal, the back and the casing are made of high-quality plastic. The dimensions of the TV are 975 × 80.3 × 574 mm. Can be mounted on plastic feet (included) or suspended on a VESA 200 × 200 bracket (sold separately). Samsung UE40NU7100U 2cm thinner with EDGE LED backlighting. Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 43 has thinner bezels, allowing you to dive deeper into content. I also cannot choose a favorite in this section: each of these models has its own advantages.
Connectors
LG 43UK6200 is equipped with the following connectors: component, composite, 2 USB 2.0 (1 back, 1 on the side panel), 3 HDMI 2.0 (1 on the back, 2 on the side panel), LAN, antenna inputs for cable and satellite TV, optical audio output, slot CI +. Supported wireless protocols Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. I would add a 3.5 mm headphone jack to this good list. I will not write down this item as a disadvantage, since competitors also do not have such a connector.
Sound
Speakers LG 43UK6200 - these are two speakers of 10 W, directed downward. The multi-channel Ultra Surround sound enhancement technology is responsible for the immersive effect. The sound is voluminous, with good clear lows, and a large headroom. Both competitors use Dolby Digital audio enhancement technology. When connecting external acoustics, a TV with Dolby Digital, in theory, should sound a little better, but it still depends on the acoustics itself, so again it is a "battle draw".
Functions
The main task of broadcasting TV channels LG 43UK6200 copes with the built-in tuners for digital, cable and satellite television. The sensitivity is excellent, the signal reception is flawless.
Smart TV and all multimedia capabilities are provided by the webOS 3.5 operating system. It works quickly, allows you to view content on the network or from external storage media, play games, install the necessary applications, record your favorite TV shows, display an image from your smartphone on the TV screen, control the TV from your smartphone.TV control and voice commands are possible. The set comes with a remote control, thought out to the smallest detail. You can discover the cinema world with the IVI app at the touch of a button.

But you can't say that this is the best TV worth up to 30 thousand rubles - there are worthy competitors.
