Enjoy personal movie night with this LG 4K television. This 43-inch model is compact enough for use in a bedroom or dining area, but its Ultra HD imagery powers entertainment in a small family room. This LG 4K television includes SmartTV capabilities, so you can stream content from favorite providers.

Don't let the price tag fool you, this is an awesome tv. Picture is great, WebOS 3.5 is fast and simple, sound is great, features are great! I bought the 43in Sony X800E which is a couple hundred dollars more expensive than this and hated it. The UI was very sluggish and it felt like a hassle just to do something simple - bad experience. This TV on the other hand is so much better (and cheaper!). The TV has a 10-bit panel (I have asked LG support multiple times - Best Buy claims it isn't), so it supports HDR10 (Video Games, 4K Bluray, video on demand) and HLG (broadcast) formats of HDR. HDR is automatic and it notifies you when HDR content is playing (something that the Sony and many other (if not all other) TVs don't)). Overall, I highly recommend this TV. If I had something negative to say, it would be about the design. By no means is it horrible or ugly, but it isn't as flashy and minimal as some of the other TVs.
Side note: If you are interested in purchasing this for gaming (PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, etc.), it is fantastic. According to RTINGS.com, it has an input lag of 12ms in 4K HDR 60fps Mode. It may even a bit lower for non-HDR 4K and 1080p gaming. And be sure to enable game mode, it is available for both regular and HDR gaming.

Add an extra dimension to movies and video games with this Sony 4K smart television. Equipped with a vibrant wide-angle 43-inch display, the picture on this TV looks great no matter where you sit. Stream a range of exciting content on demand when you connect this Sony 4K smart television to your network wirelessly or via ethernet cable.

I have to be honest, they display is fantastic. However, I have my problems with it. First of all, the UI is very laggy and sluggish. Frame rates are low when navigating through menus and it takes forever just to find and select one option. And leaving menus is a headache too, you have to constantly hit the back button. Also, HDR recognition is weak. Unlike LG models it doesn't pop up and tell you that you are viewing HDR content. You have to go into picture settings (with the annoying UI) and it'll be somewhere in there. When you hit the "display" button to see the screen details, it doesn't mention HDR even though you know it's HDR content. LG made it really simple. The native YouTube app doesn't display HDR content which is very odd. HDR during gaming (even on game mode) also has a high input lag. If you don't really care about details and just want a great display, its great. But for HDR and other UI things it is very annoying. Will most likely return.
