Our Verdict
Slightly above average for a range of usages. Poor dark scene performance due to the low native contrast ratio and bad black uniformity. Motion handling is excellent, and looks great.
- Excellent motion handling
- Picture remains accurate when viewed at an angle
- Very poor contrast
- Can't get very bright once calibrated
- Poor black uniformity
Poor movie performance in a dark room. Blacks appear gray, and dark scene uniformity is bad. Doesn't support local dimming to improve performance.
Better than average for watching TV in a bright room. Image remains accurate when viewed at an angle. Under calibrated settings, can't get very bright to combat glare. Average at dealing with reflections. Smart platform works well for casual viewing.
Good TV for watching sports. Motion handling is excellent, due to the very fast response time. Can't get very bright to combat glare, but the image remains accurate when viewed at an angle. Dirty screen effect isn't really visible, which is good.
Good for gamers. Motion handling is excellent, which is great for fast paced games. Picture quality is slightly below average. Input lag is okay, and shouldn't be an issue for most people.
Below average for watching HDR movies in a dark room. Picture quality is slightly below average, and blacks don't get very deep. Supports the HDR10 format but can't display a wider range of colors or bright highlights.
Average for HDR gaming. Picture quality is slightly below average due to low native contrast ratio. Motion handling is excellent even for very fast paced content. Input lag with HDR is okay, but may be an issue for some people.
Good TV as a PC monitor. Picture quality is slightly below average, and RGBW pixel structure results in less accurate text. With the 'PC' icon selected, the input lag is quite high, but the motion blur is very good.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 55" (55UH6150). Due to the unusual RGBW ADS panel found in the 55" model we reviewed, we don't expect our review to be valid for the 60" (60UH6150) and 65" (65UH6150).
One of our readers has sent a photo of the 60" model's pixels, which can be seen here. This is an RGBW IPS panel, different from the 55" model we reviewed. Expect a slightly more narrow viewing angle, slightly higher contrast and more motion blur.
If anyone has more information on these other sizes, please contact us at tv@rtings.com. A photo of the pixels would help us to identify the type of panel found in the other variants.
If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their LG UH6150 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review.

Popular TV Comparisons
The LG UH6150 does perform very well in some areas, such as the motion performance image accuracy at an angle, but is hard to recommend due to a few flaws such as the the very low contrast ratio. In the same price range there is significant competition, so keep this in mind when viewing our recommendations below.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
