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.

Not sold? Check out our buying guide to see what makes a great TV. Don’t forget to bookmark this page before heading over there, as you’ll find that the 55UK6300PUE ticks all the boxes — and you’ll be wanting to come back to bag it.

Why aren’t sports in 4K and HDR? It’s harder than you think

Fox Sports Camera

I don’t know if we can pinpoint a moment at which 4K content became normalized -- it sort of snuck up on us -- but today 4K and 4K HDR content is not hard to come by. Netflix, Amazon, Disney +, HBO Max – they all have it, and plenty of it. So we’re starting to get used to it. We’re hungry for 4K and we expect it on our plate. This has a lot of folks wondering: Why is it so hard to get sports in 4K?

Three years ago, I was fortunate enough to fly down to Florida to go behind the scenes with Fox Sports as it delivered the first-ever 4K HDR Super Bowl broadcast. Not only did I get to watch the Fox team do its live daytime broadcasts from South Beach, but I also got to go to roam around Hard Rock Stadium, where I had totally unfettered access to the stadium and all the cameras in it – as well as a massive broadcast compound. I got to go in every production truck, I saw every step of the production, from the cameras to the outbound feeds, and I got every question I asked answered by some of the top video production pros in the business. I learned so much while I was there.

Leica launches the Hisense-powered $8,300 Cine 1, its first 4K Laser TV, at CES 2023

Legendary German photography company Leica Camera has debuted its first Laser TV at CES 2023. The Leica Cine 1 is a 4K, triple-laser ultra short throw (UST) projector made in partnership with Hisense. It will be available in both 100-inch and 120-inch versions with prices starting at $8,295 when it hits the U.S. market in the third quarter of 2023. Leica plans to sell the Cine 1 in Europe in the spring.

Though the laser guts of the Cine 1 will be built by Hisense, Leica says it's adding its own distinct touches to the Laser TV to ensure it delivers on people's expectations of the Leica brand. This includes a Leica-engineered Summicron lens that has been matched to the projector's image size, as well as Leica's own image processing (Leica Image Optimization, or LIO) to optimize picture quality with special algorithms.

Samsung shows off the first two 77-inch QD-OLED 4K TVs at CES 2023

Samsung S95C QD-OLED 4K TV.

Samsung was the first company to show off a 4K TV based on QD-OLED technology at CES 2022, and now, at CES 2023 it has unveiled two new QD-OLED models -- the S95C Samsung OLED and S90C Samsung OLED -- and each will be available as 77-inch models. Both will also be offered in 55- and 65-inch sizes. The news came one day after Samsung Display confirmed it would show its next-gen "QD-OLED 2023" panel at the show in a 77-inch size.

When QD-OLED-based TVs debuted in 2022, Samsung and Sony revealed the first two 4K TVs models within hours of each other: the Samsung S95B and the Sony A95K. Both TVs proved to be absolutely stunning in terms of picture quality, leaving our reviewer no choice but to award them a rare 10/10 rating. But the TVs themselves weren't especially large; only 55- and 65-inch sizes were introduced.
