Best TV picture we could find for the money

LG 55UB8500
We really enjoy the picture on this LG and coupled with the LG sound bar, the entire experience is fantastic. We compared the LG to the Sony 4K and found there was not enough difference to warrant the extra expense. The sale price and bundled sound bar were too good to pass up.
Some have complained about the smart remote that’s really like a wireless mouse. We really like its functionality and ease of use. Note, while this is a newer tv model than our DirecTV Genie receiver, the DTV code for the older LG models worked and the DTV remote simultaneously turns the receiver, tv and sound bar on/off and controls volume.
Set-up was so easy for this tv, too. The onscreen menus and remote take you through the process. But, you must customize your picture. First thing I did was set the sound to the LG optical output that turns off the tv speakers. Then, tackle the picture tuning. I went to the Wizard III and it took me through a few steps to crank up the resolution and tweak the picture. Go next to the Picture menu and customize from there where I found these to work best for me:
Backlight - 75
Contrast - 90
Brightness - 60
Sharpness - 30
Color - 70
Under the Expert menu:
Dynamic Contrast - High
Super Resolution - Med
Color Gamut - Std
Edge Enhancer - On
Color Filter - Off
Gamma - 2.2
White Balance:
Color Temp - Warm 1
Method - 2pts
Pattern - Outer
Point - High
Red, Green and Blue - 0
Picture Options:
Noise Reduction - Off
Mpeg Noise - Off
Black Level - Low
LED Local Dimming - Low
TruMotion - Off

Hope this helps but find what settings you like best. Don’t be afraid to make adjustments.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought this was an excellent deal of the day purchase. So far, it's proven to be just what I expected. Although, I was not sure what to expect. Everything is working as it should and I have no complaints. Maybe I can re-do the review once I have more time with it. But, for now, go for it.
