Not included items

Several items are not included in with the TV. You will need to buy HDMI cables to connect your TV to other devices. The easiest way to ensure you have HDMI cables is to buy the AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI cables at the same time as your TV. If you do not buy the AmazonBasics HDMI cable, make sure that the HDMI cables you do buy are rated as “high speed” cables to accommodate the large amount of data they’ll have to handle for 4K HDR content.

The TV also does not come with wall-mounting equipment. For more information about wall mounting check out our wall-mounting guide video.

Set up TV

The legs and TV are letter coded with A and B, not number coded. Match the correct leg with its correct slot. The pole piece on the leg fits into the hole and the tab on the leg lines up with the indented square on the TV. Once you slide the leg in place, use three screws to secure it to the TV.

Looking at the back of the TV, you will find the power port toward the bottom and on the left of the TV. You will want to put the power cord in its port on the TV before plugging it in to the wall. On the right, you will find the port bay. The side bay has two HDMI inputs and one USB input. The rear-facing bay has one HDMI input, one USB input, an Ethernet input, and RCA jacks for older devices. If you are wall mounting this TV, remember to leave space for the RCA cables between the TV and the wall.

Design features

While this TV may not be state-of-the-art in LG design, it is a good-looking TV. A moderately sized bezel runs around the rim of the screen. The plastic legs go well with the bezel and don’t draw too much attention to themselves. Since the legs are on the far edges of the TV, sitting at 53 inches wide, you will need a fairly wide entertainment stand to hold the TV.

Set up connections

When you first power on your TV LG WebOS Smart TV system takes you through a setup wizard. Use your remote to connect the TV to your Wi-Fi router and put in your Internet password. Then allow the TV to scan for TV channels via the connected antenna or cable box.

To make it easier to switch between your inputs, we suggest labeling the HDMI inputs, such as labeling the HDMI input connected to a Blu-ray player “Blu-Ray”. This way you will have a more descriptive name helping you find the right input to select when trying to play DVDs. You can label the inputs by going into Settings, then Inputs, and editing each input.

Adjusting settings

While you are still setting up your TV, we suggest you adjust your settings. In regards to picture presets we suggest selecting either expert bright room or expert dark room, depending on where you place the TV. For most TV users, the expert bright room will be preferred, unless you have a dedicated darkened home entertainment room. No matter which picture preset you decide on, we urge you to reduce or turn off the eco mode because this has a big effect on the brightness of the TV. Turn off Trumotion to eliminate the soap opera effect to have a smoother picture.

Black Friday is back with this fantastic deal on a 65-inch LG 4K TV
55 inch lg 4k tv deal um7300 walmart october sale

If you missed your chance to take home a 4K TV on the cheap on Black Friday 2019, you're in luck: Walmart has revived one of the best deals we saw on the shopping bonanza, knocking $170 off the massive 65-inch LG UM6950. This sees it in the discount bin for just $480 -- or as little as $47 per month through the retailer's flexible 12-month financing scheme.

Frankly, the LG UM6950 has it all, offering access to everything you could ever need right out of the box. There's an enormous 65-inch screen (4K Ultra HD, no less) on the front; multi-format HDR, which can be called upon to draw more detail from supported content; and LG's intuitive webOS smart software for instant streaming through the likes of Disney+ and Netflix.

LG brings new 4K TVs, 8K TVs, and a Samsung Frame TV look-alike to CES 2020
lg oled 4k 8k tv gx gallery series ces 2020 gallery02

LG did most of its announcing before CES 2020 even kicked off, revealing eight new 8K TVs -- branded the first 'real' 8K TVs to hit the market -- and a roll-down OLED 4K TV. But that's not to say it didn't save something for the trade show: LG introduced the art-inspired GX Gallery Series 4K TV (think: Samsung's Frame TV) and a never-seen-before 48-inch OLED 4K TV.

Seeing as we covered the 8K TVs and roll-down OLED 4K TV when LG first announced them ahead of CES 2020 last week, we won't run through them again. (If you missed them, you can find links to them scattered throughout this article.) Instead, we'll focus on the hardware we didn't know was in the works, starting with the familiar-looking GX Gallery Series 4K TVs.

LG will show off an OLED 4K TV that rolls down from the ceiling at CES 2020
LG Rollable OLED 2019

LG stole the show at CES 2019 with an incredible OLED TV concept that retracted into a piece of furniture when it wasn't in use. The LG Signature Series OLED TV R wasn't just retreating into a larger cubbyhole that housed it; instead, the 65-inch screen rolled into a structure the height of a Doberman. But even that was too space-consuming for LG. Its solution? A (concept) roll-down OLED TV that unfurls from the ceiling -- and it is set to be showcased at CES 2020.

The announcement, made in a press release from the LG Display division, is intended as a teaser of what's to come. The manufacturer hasn't shared any specifics about how it works, in other words, other than this sentence: "The 65-inch UHD roll-down OLED TV, which can be installed naturally as part of the space and can only be used down when needed, is expected to increase the level of smart home interior by increasing space utilization." One thing is for certain: LG definitely had its work cut out. There's a minefield of problems to overcome in order to achieve what LG says it has. For starters, it would first need to think of a functional approach that caters to ceilings of all heights. You want the screen to be eye-level for the most comfortable viewing experience, and there's no universal measurement for that -- it's relative to each home and viewer.
But wait, there's more ...
The drop-down OLED is just the tip of the iceberg. LG has plenty of other intriguing hardware in store for CES 2020, like an 88-inch 8K Cinematic Sound TV with a built-in 11.2-channel home theater setup, and a wafer-thin 77-inch 4K Wallpaper OLED variant. It has also been working on equipment for aircraft, headlined by a 55-inch Full HD transparent OLED that acts as an aisle partition and a 65-inch 4K bendable OLED that's flexible at both ends for first class. It is even bringing along plastic OLEDs, designed for use in cars.
