LG 49UK6200 is the 2018 model. Refers to the manufacturer's budget line, but has high color rendering and display quality. Differs in a wide matrix. I made a comparative analysis with TVs Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 50 and Samsung UE49NU7100U from the same price segment and made a detailed review of the LG 49UK6200 model. I recommend studying to get your own idea of the features of the TV.
This model participates in Best 4K UHD TVs.
Screen
Diagonal - 48.5 ″ (123 cm), resolution - 3840 × 2160 px. Supports 4K UHD, HDR10. Matrix TFT IPS perfectly reproduces colors, is characterized by deep blacks. Thanks to a wide viewing angle (178 °), brightness, clarity is maintained even when viewed from a very far from the center of the angle.
Quad-core processor minimizes noise, adjusts sharpness, and improves picture quality up to 4K. At the same time, each frame is intelligently processed, and the playback dynamics is optimized. Standard format video plays back with improved quality that is comparable to HDR.
The LG 49UK6200 delivers ultra-sharp images with deep details and a wide range of contrast. The color depth is 8 bits. Accurate color reproduction, colors are natural, close to the standard.
The pixel response time is 9 ms. The picture refresh rate is 50 Hz. Thanks to the 1500 Hz Picture Mastering Index, fast motion playback is slightly smoother than, for example, Samsung UE49NU7100U with Picture Quality Index (1300 Hz), although the refresh index of the latter is 100 Hz. But it's not easy to tell the difference. The display of action scenes or sports matches on Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 50, which does not provide a picture improvement index, has a standard frame refresh rate (50 Hz).
Direct LED backlighting provides for the location of diodes across the entire surface behind the screen. It is more uniform than that of the Samsung UE49NU7100U with side illumination, which is characterized by slight flares on the sides of the matrix.
Appearance
Dimensions - 1108 × 649 × 80 mm. The TV has a thin metal frame which gives it a more elegant look. Samsung UE49NU7100U has a thinner matrix - only 60 mm. This is due to the side lighting method.
For wall mounting, VESA 300 × 300 mm mount is provided. The device weighs 10.9 kg. For installation on a nightstand, the set includes two legs, with which the dimensions of the TV increase to 1108 × 705 × 235 mm.

Sound
Sound is provided by two 10W speakers, directed downward. Ultra Surround technology creates multichannel tones for a more spacious sound. Dolby Digital and DTS decoders make the sound even deeper, more realistic. Samsung UE49NU7100U does not provide for DTS, which is why it loses somewhat in sound realism, and Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 50 inferior in power, since it is endowed with 8 W speakers.
