The LG UH7700 is a good all-around 4k UHD TV. Gamers will be pleased with its performance, while fans of movies and sports might find it a little lacking, as its picture deteriorates in dark rooms. Regardless of intended usage, its wide viewing angle, ease of use, and great smart features are things that everyone can enjoy.
Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 55" (55UH7700). For the most part, we expect our review to be valid for other sizes of the UH7700.
If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their LG UH7700 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review.

Top row, from left:
Samsung KS8000 (UN55KS8000), LG UH7700 (55UH7700),
Vizio P Series 2016 (P65-C1). Bottom:
LG UF7700 (60UF7700),
LG UH8500 (55UH8500),
Sony X850D (XBR55X850D). Unlike our other photographs, this picture wasn't taken under a controlled environment, so do not draw conclusions from it.
The LG UH7700 feels expensive compared to other TVs that have better picture quality with a lower asking price. It makes it somewhat hard to recommend.
