Stream your favorite movie channels through your home network from this 49-inch LG smart LED TV. The borderless display lets you see more of the picture, and the IPS panel delivers realistic color and strong contrast. This LG smart LED TV has TruMotion 120Hz technology for high-speed action shots without lagging or blurring.

Identical to 49UH6100 with 4K & HDR under $400!

Posted by: linux4life
After heavily researching TVs, ideally, I wanted to go with a 4K with HDR, but the price of the HDR was a bit out of where I was hoping to be, so I was set on this model for 4K because even without HDR, it seemed like a great deal! Upon entering the store, we found the 49UH6100 model on display which was $100 more on sale for the identical size. We asked a sales associate for the differences between the 49UH6030 (this model) and the 49UH6100 and were told that the 49UH6100 had a 120Hz refresh rate while the 49UH6030 had only a 60Hz refresh rate, which is not as ideal for gaming, sports, etc. A quick google search told me that many companies (LG included) often are not transparent about the true refresh rate of TVs, so their "TruMotion" technology actually makes the 120Hz refresh rate a 60Hz refresh rate. That being the only difference and having some concerns about the true nature of the 120Hz in the more expensive model, anyway, we went with this one knowing that we could also return it if we weren't happy with the display. On top of that, we were shocked to discover that both models are in fact HDR, even though they aren't displayed that way on Best Buy's site. The product page, owner's manual, and box all state that both models are 4K with HDR. http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-49UH6030-4k-uhd-tv?bvrrp=Main_Site-en_US/reviews/product/2/MD05761979.htm **That makes this, by far, the cheapest household brand of TV with both 4K and HDR on the market that I have found.**
Upon getting home and setting up the TV (which was easy), the picture was not only immensely better than our 4 year old Vizio 1080p TV, but the sound was amazing. We actually no longer need our sound bar because this TV offers a rich surround sound type audio. Also, upon detailed reading of the technical specifications on both the website and the owner's manual, I discovered the the refresh rate is actually also 120Hz, just like the other model for $100 more. **This means that the 49UH6100 and the 49UH6030 are IDENTICAL except for the price!* Just check the specs on LG's website.
>>Bottom line, you will not find a major brand 4K 50" TV with 120Hz refresh rate and HDR for this price anywhere else! Under $400 is a steal and we are very happy with this purchase!

I would recommend this to a friend!
