The LG UT7570 is an entry-level TV released in 2024. It's a 60Hz option and doesn't have modern features like local dimming, VRR support, or HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, but it still has some basic features like motion interpolation and Auto Low Latency Mode for gaming. It's powered by LG's α5 AI Processor Gen 7, which is designed to deliver refined picture and audio quality. The TV runs version 24 of LG's webOS and has a built-in 20W 2.0 channel speaker system that can be upmixed to virtual 5.1 surround sound. We bought and tested the 65-inch model, but it's available in seven sizes: 43, 50, 55, 65, 70, 75, and 86 inches.
Our Verdict
The LG UT75 is bad for mixed usage. Its reflection handling leaves a lot to be desired, and it's a very dim TV, so it's not good for use in a bright room or for HDR content. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good in a dark room either due to its awful black levels and muted colors. The TV doesn't have any modern gaming features, and its slow pixel transitions mean motion is blurry, so it's not a good gaming TV either. You do get adequate image processing that helps clean up low-quality content, and it does have a wide viewing angle, but those features only go so far on a TV like this one that has poor image quality to begin with.
- Wide viewing angle means it's suitable for use in a group setting.
Poor black uniformity, awful contrast, and no local dimming means blacks look gray.
Not bright enough in SDR to overcome glare.
Poor HDR brightness leads to a bad HDR experience.
- Slow smart interface.
Colors are muted and dim.
The LG UT75 is bad for a home theater. It has awful black levels, so blacks look gray at all times. The TV only displays a narrow range of dim colors, which leads to colors that lack vibrancy, and there's noticeable banding in color gradients. Furthermore, HDR content lacks impact since the TV is too dim. Fortunately, it has okay upscaling and good low-quality content smoothing, so DVDs and low-quality streams look alright. Additionally, there's some stutter, so slower panning shots in movies and TV shows are a bit choppy. It also doesn't remove judder from 60Hz sources, and there are very noticeable color artifacts in fast-paced scenes.
Good low-quality content smoothing.
No micro-judder in scenes with complex motion.
Poor black uniformity, awful contrast, and no local dimming means blacks look gray.
Poor HDR brightness leads to a bad HDR experience.
Colors are muted and dim.
Doesn't remove judder from 60Hz sources.
Noticeable color artifacts in all content.
Noticeable stutter in slow panning shots.
The LG UT75 is poor for use in a bright room. It doesn't have the reflection handling or brightness needed to fight glare, so reflections on the screen are very distracting. Ambient light doesn't affect colors much, but since the TV's colors are poor to begin with, they're muted. Black levels also aren't affected by the lights in your room, but since the TV has such bad blacks to start with, they still look gray.
Not bright enough in SDR to overcome glare.
Colors are muted and dim.
Bad handling of direct reflections.
The LG UT75 is disappointing for watching sports. Colors aren't very accurate, and they really lack vibrancy, so the entire image looks muted. You're easily distracted by reflections on the screen because the TV is too dim and doesn't have the reflection handling needed to handle glare in a room with open curtains or even a few lights on. It does a good job reducing artifacts in low-quality broadcasts, and its upscaling is good enough that the image doesn't look too soft. Fortunately, the TV has a wide viewing angle, which is useful for watching the game with a group, as the image doesn't drastically degrade when viewed from the sides of the screen. Sadly, its slower response time and poor color transitions result in blurry motion and very noticeable artifacts.

The LG UT75 is bad for gaming. It's limited to 60Hz, and it doesn't support VRR to reduce screen tearing, so it's not a good option if you care about high frame rates and modern gaming features. It has low input lag for a responsive feel, but pixel transitions are unusually slow, so motion is blurry. Colors look muted in your favorite games due to the TV's inadequate color volume in SDR and HDR, and the TV is too dim to display highlights in HDR games with any impact. Unfortunately, the TV's black levels are awful, so the entire image looks washed out whether or not you're using the Game Optimizer.

The LG UT75 has bad brightness. It's too dim in SDR to use in a room with more than one or two lights on, and its HDR brightness isn't nearly good enough to display meaningful highlights in HDR content.
Not bright enough in SDR to overcome glare.
Poor HDR brightness leads to a bad HDR experience.
The LG UT75 has awful black levels. The TV doesn't have local dimming, and it has terrible native contrast with poor black uniformity, so blacks look blueish and cloudy at all times.
Poor black uniformity, awful contrast, and no local dimming means blacks look gray.
The LG UT75 has disappointing colors overall. It doesn't display a wide range of colors and lacks the brightness to show them with any vibrancy, leading to muted colors. Color accuracy is passable in both SDR and HDR, but don't expect precise colors with this model.
Colors are muted and dim.
The LG UT75 has mediocre motion handling when watching content. There's no judder when using the internal apps or from 24Hz and 25Hz sources, but the TV doesn't remove judder from any 60Hz sources, so there's some choppiness in motion if you're using an older streaming device or cable box. Fortunately, there's no micro-judder with any sources. There's also no ghosting around the edges of fast-moving elements. However, the TV does a poor job of handling colors in fast-paced scenes and sports, leading to trails of unintended color that are very noticeable. Finally, slow panning shots can look a bit choppy due to stutter.
No micro-judder in scenes with complex motion.
Doesn't remove judder from 60Hz sources.

Noticeable stutter in slow panning shots.
The LG UT75 has poor responsiveness in Game Mode. It doesn't support VRR, so you'll see screen tearing. Although the TV's input lag is low enough for a responsive feel, the TV's pixel transitions are so slow across the board that motion looks very blurry.
Low input lag.
- Limited to 60Hz refresh rate and no modern gaming features.
Very slow pixel transitions leads to blurry motion.
Note: We're in the process of improving our tests related to image processing, but this score should give you a general idea of how a TV performs overall with its image processing capabilities.
The LG UT75 has adequate image processing overall. HDR content has okay brightness accuracy overall, but shadows and darker midtones are too bright. There's also some noticeable banding in color gradients. The TV's upscaling is good enough that the image doesn't look overly soft, and it does a good job minimizing artifacts in low-quality content.
Good low-quality content smoothing.

Popular TV Comparisons
You shouldn't buy the LG UT75, as it's a bad TV with no modern features and poor picture quality. It's held back by its awful contrast that can't be improved due to a lack of a local dimming feature, so it doesn't look very good in a dark room. It's also a dim TV overall, not bright enough for use in a well-lit room or for an impactful HDR experience. If you're looking for a budget-friendly TV, you would be much better off getting a TV like the Hisense U6/U6N, which offers great local dimming for significantly deeper blacks, a wide color gamut for more vibrant colors, and overall brightness.

There's nearly no difference at all between the LG UT75 and the newer LG UA77, so if you're comparing these two, you should choose the cheaper option. The only advantage of the UA77 is that it supports VRR, but it's still limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, so you'll still see tearing, as the refresh rate is too low to support Low Framerate Compensation (LFC).
The Samsung U8000F is better than the LG UT75. The Samsung has much better native contrast, so blacks are deeper and more uniform in fairly dark scenes. Since both TVs lack local dimming, it's still not great, though, and both TVs are washed out when bright highlights are on the screen.
The LG UT75 and the LG UT8000 are similar overall, but the UT80 is a bit better for most people. The UT80 has a much higher contrast ratio, so it's a better choice for dim or dark rooms, as blacks are deeper and more uniform. On the other hand, if you never watch TV in a dark room, the UT75 might be a better choice as it has a wider viewing angle, so you'll see a more consistent image if you're watching at a bit of an angle.
The LG UT75 is a bit better than the LG UQ75. The UT75 is a bit brighter overall and has slightly better reflection handling, so it fights a bit more glare in a room with some lights on, but it’s still too dim for use in a well-lit room. The biggest advantage that the UT75 has is its quicker response time, which delivers fast motion with less blur. The UT75 also has better PQ EOTF tracking, so it sticks closer to the content creator’s intent with HDR content. Outside of that, the two TVs are essentially the same.
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.
