Don’t miss this fantastic deal on a 55-inch 4K LG Smart TV at Walmart

On the lookout for a new 4K TV at a nice price? Walmart has you covered with a 55-inch 4K LG Smart TV for $400. The same model usually sits on the retailer’s shelves for $700, making this a Smart TV deal not to be missed.

Still, there’s no disputing the fact that $400 is a lot of money to fork out in one go — and Walmart agrees, which is why it’s offering customers with good credit the option to split up the cost over a 12-month period with payments of $39 per month.

Now let’s get down to the details. The TV on offer is a 55-inch 4K LG 55UK6300PUE Smart TV. It’s armed with an LED, rather than an OLED, screen that’s crisp, sharp, and has a fantastic default color profile out of the box.

As it is a 4K TV, it can showcase native 4K content. It’s also capable of taking standard HD material and adapting it in real time to match the higher resolution — and from what we’ve seen, it works well.

The 55UK6300PUE is equipped with LG’s love-it-or-loathe-it Magic Remote, which lets you use gestures to control your TV. It’s not something that everyone will find useful, though, which is why it’s also decked out with buttons.

LG is at the forefront of Smart TV tech, so it should come as no surprise to hear that this particular model has just about everything you could ever need streaming-wise, including Amazon Prime Video, Google Play Movies, Hulu, and Netflix.

Everything can be controlled using the firm’s trademark Intelligent Voice Control. Just tap the microphone icon on the Magic Remote, and you can throw all kinds of commands its way, such as “turn down the volume,” and “change the channel.”

It’s unclear how long the deal will run for, so we’d strongly recommend that those in the market for a new TV act quickly. It really is a must-have.

The hidden costs of buying a 4K TV are way higher than you think

There’s never been a better time to buy a 4K TV. Prices have continued to drop even as screen sizes and smart TV features have continued to grow. But now that 4K TVs are priced within reach of almost anyone who wants one, are you actually going to be able to enjoy all of the extra detail and picture quality that 4K promises? The answer is, sadly, not as often as you expect, and not without some considerable extra investment over and above the cost of the TV.

Modern 4K TVs are packed with a lot of impressive technologies that can make picture quality look amazing, no matter what you’re watching. With upscaling driven by complex algorithms and often aided by AI, even watching an old DVD on a 4K TV will look way better than it did on an HDTV from 10 years ago. But to truly get the best possible results, you need access to native 4K content, preferably with some flavor of HDR, like Dolby Vision, HDR10, or HDR10+.

Should you install beta updates for Apple TV 4K?

Apple TV beta software options as seen on a TV.

This is sort of one of those things that you see pop up from time to time whenever Apple unleashes an onslaught of new beta software. And it's worth discussing. Should you, proud owner of an Apple TV (or the newer Apple TV 4K, which is still our pick for the best streaming hardware you can buy), simply sit back and let production-level tvOS updates hit your box as Steve Jobs intended? Or should you live on the edge and take your chances with beta updates?

It's a fair question. I'm a sucker for updates. But there's a little bit to think about here.
What is a beta update?
For us mere mortals (as in someone who doesn't work at Apple), there are three software tracks from which you can choose on Apple TV. There's the regular software that everybody gets, which we'll call "Production." Because that's what it is. There are two types of betas. There's "Developer," and there's "Public."
