Wide viewing angle, many technologies for the brightest, sharpest picture, powerful 20 W speakers, Smart TV, DLNA. For its price - 36 thousand rubles - such a TV covers all basic viewing needs. I analyzed why customers like it so much and compared it with the main competitorsSamsung UE43NU7400U andSony KDL-43WF665.
This model participates in rating of the best TVs 43 inches and in ranking of the best LG TVs.
Screen
The screen with a diagonal of 43 inches has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 px, is equipped with Direct LED backlighting, an IPS matrix. The picture quality is better than that of the FullHD models, in which LG wins against the competition. There is FRC technology, color depth is 8 bits. The viewing angle of the screen is 178 °.

The image format is 4K, which contributes to high detail of objects and the transfer of image realism. When viewed, there is no glare on the screen, regardless of the angle from which you view the content.
The quad-core processor contributes to more dynamic color reproduction, better contrast, even low-quality images approach the 4K format, improving thanks to the built-in technologies of the model. Operating in 4K Active HDR mode, the screen detects color inaccuracies and improves these performance. Multi HDR (HDR10 + HLG) maximizes the quality of any picture when viewed.
Multi HDR technology has a model Samsung UE43NU7400U for 34.5 thousand. And at Sony Sony KDL-43WF665 for 37 thousand, in addition to FullHD and HDR, there is a Motionflow function, which provides smooth dynamic scenes.

Sound
Realistic sound thanks to multidimensional sound that comes from all directions - a feature of the sound reproduction of the model. It is provided by two speakers with a total power of 20 watts. Sound can be transmitted via Bluetooth.
The power is enough for high-quality sound transmission, and not all models with this price can boast the same. The more expensive Sony KDL-43WF665 TV has only 10 watts of total speaker power.

Verdict
But still, users would like to see the built-in memory, because the price of the TV is rather big. But there are still more advantages.
