LG Electronics 65UB9200 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz Smart LED TV (2014 Model)

I was long overdued for a new TV and after some time researching I settled on 4K by LG.Main and primary reason I chose this LG vs other 4K TVs is the IPS panel which is the best panel to get at this time of review.Other secondary factors are:1. Price!2. Beautiful Style (really thin bezel and depth of the TV)3. Low Energy usagePros after the fact:1. I cannot believe how good the pictures look once upgraded from 1080p. It's so clear!2. Watching 4k content from youtube was amazing!3. Amazon Instant is available as an add'l app.Cons after the fact:1. Cannot produce audio to BOTH speaker and the digital output (HDMI ARC/optical) or at least have a button to switch easily between the two. Because when I want to switch audio to the receiver, I have to clicked like 3-4 times before switch can happen.2. Cannot change TV settings IF one of the smart apps is running like Youtube.

I don't know if I entered the 4k market before the technology had been perfected, if LG doesn't make quality televisions, or if I just got a lemon, all I know is I can't wait to get rid of this tv. Here are a list of reasons:-When I first got the tv, everything played from a disc, whether DVD or Blu-Ray was so very streaky with trails following even the slowest moving objects, did not make for a good at home theater experience. (LG has since released an update that seems to have fixed this problem.)-About midway through the screen horizontally, there is about a 6 inch wide area running top to bottom that is a shade of orange on lighter backgrounds (white, gray). If I had noticed this during the first 30 days, I would have sent the television back. Truthfully, it is not too noticeable, but now that I know it is there, I see it every time a lighter background comes up. This should not happen on a tv of this price.-The Amazon App does not play sound on this tv. I'm inclined to believe this could be the fault of Amazon or LG, but neither company has been able to help me resolve this issue.I bought a 60 inch Sony 1080p tv around the same time as this television for my bedroom for about 1/3 of the price I paid for this tv. I cannot believe that I'm actually more pleased with the cheap lower grade of picture Sony than I am the 4k LG.My next tv will either be a Sony or a Vizio.

Important Information:I also bought this model, whatever other mention are true, but their is a hidden dark secret you needs to know. It is currently NOT compatible with H.265 or HEVC codec. They are advertising HEVC on LG site as well as displayed on LG TV box.Yes, that means it CANNOT play 99% of the 4k contents. If you bought this TV due to 4k, please contact LG & request an update? Either they have to release firmware update for this model (prefer this) or they have to recall their product.If you want to test 4k, here is a sample HEVC (H.265) 3840x2160[see reply]Only 1.52Mb file (10 sec test video)This also applies to other 4K TVs as well, in case someone wants to confirm if their TVs can play 4k in HEVC format, download this video & play using USB flash drive.Please reply back if any questions, I also suggest you contact LG by email, live chat or phone or you will end up with a 4K TV does not play most 4k videos.By the way, I can help you if you need to see 4k content sample video on this LG model using "older codec", as most of you may not have seen true 4K video on this TV (Netflix, Hulu & Youtube are no where near 4k Qty).Yes using actual 4K video, it will blow your mind on this TV, the qty is much superior, can watch it from 4 inch away. While playing just pause to see fine details & now try that with UltraHD Netflix or Youtube, so will see videos are so much compressed that their is no difference between 1080p & 4k.Update:As of current version, DLNA is not fully supported, if you stream video from your PC, you cannot Rev/Fwd it, you will get message "This function is not available", so you are stuck watching the whole movie before you reach the part you want to watch.Tested using PS3, same movie streams fine, able to Reverse & Forward it without issue.UPDATE (Jan 17th, 2015)Here is a good example of HEVC (H.265) file:GeneralID : 0 (0x0)Complete name : HoneyBee_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_HEVC_TS.tsFormat : MPEG-TSFile size : 30.0 MiBDuration : 19s 867msOverall bit rate mode : VariableOverall bit rate : 12.7 MbpsVideoID : 101 (0x65)Menu ID : 1 (0x1)Format : HEVCFormat/Info : High Efficiency Video CodingFormat profile : MainCodec ID : 36Duration : 19s 966msBit rate : 12.0 MbpsWidth : 3 840 pixelsHeight : 2 160 pixelsDisplay aspect ratio : 16:9Color space : YUVChroma subsampling : 4:2:0Bit depth : 8 bitsStream size : 28.6 MiB (95%)Just google for " HoneyBee_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_HEVC_TS.ts " to download the video file.When replying please use "MediaInfo", it will provide details on the video file you are trying to play.
