If this is you and you have the funds to back your goals, then you have to consider this almost futuristic LG 50 inch Smart TV.

These are it's selling points

• 4K Ultra High Definition Display that makes your viewing experience colorful, vivid and super realistic.

• Voice Control to help you shut down the TV, switch HDMI modes, search for stuff online with just using voice commands

• Magic Remote that acts like a computer mouse to make scrolling, selecting items or searching for channels very easy.

• Digital Channel Receiver so that you can watch digital TV without buying a decoder.

• DTS: Virtual X to bring you the kind of immersive 360° audio experience that you can only get from an expensive home theater system.

• 5G WiFi that well...no need to explain.

• All the smart features you can think of. Supports Miracast, is endorsed by Netflix, has built in browser that actually works well.

• It's a 2019 model so you get bragging rights.

Design

With a simple flat sleek design, thin bezels and a lush dark color. This LG television proves that there is beauty in simplicity.

The 50 inch set rests on a two pole stand and easily adds class to a room.

Display

But for this LG 50 UM7340, the display is one of it’s major selling points.

We’re talking 4K UHD (ultra high definition). This is the big league for TV displays.

This TV has visuals so crystal and accurate that you’ll be able to see the water droplets on a blade of grass.

You will see the droplets of sweat on Ronaldo’s forehead when he’s balling for Juventus.

Although SuperSport doesn’t provide 4k content yet, this TV can upscale the visuals to give you more smoothness. 

It won’t be as awesome as watching true 4k content but it would be an upgrade.

Also note that if you want to enjoy the added detail that comes with 4k or UHD, you have to sit close to your TV screen. 

If your seating arrangement places you far from your TV screen then you are better off using a TV with the usual FHD display.

It’s not just the detail that makes the display mind blowing. It’s the realistic color. With the display you will notice true color.

The black is pure black and all the colors are accurately rendered unlike some TV’s that render tinted displays or visuals that have reddish or purple hues.

If you’re only used to HD or FHD displays then you’ll find this TV very addictive.

Playing ‘call of duty' using this TV is intoxicating. 

In fact you get to really enjoy the 4k display when you use game consoles like  ‘X box One X' or 'X box one S'.

Of course you must make sure you’re using a UHD Blu-ray disc when using these consoles. 

If not, the TV will only display the usual normal 1080p.

The Quad processor rapidly and continuously renders you graphics in their pure form; free from noise, color wash and distortions.

All you get is visual accuracy. You’ll think you’re looking straight out of a window and not through a TV screen.

The fact that it’s 50 inches makes the viewing experience even more immersive. 

It makes the scenes look grand, life-like and super realistic.

This is the power of a display resolution that possesses the legendary 8.2 million pixels.

With this TV you’re guaranteed to view any video content with HDR quality.

You can view this TV from any angle without noticing any blurring or color wash or fading out at the edges. This is because of it’s wide viewing angle.

You will also enjoy smooth visuals even when viewing fast movie scenes. This is because it has a superior refresh rate of 100hz.

Sound

Another strong selling point of this LG 4K TV is it’s rich DTS: Virtual X enabled quality sound. 

It has seven virtual channels that let’s you enjoy immersive surround sound.

That is the sound would feel as if it is coming from all around you…360 degrees audio experience.

You will feel like you are right inside the scene of action. 

Isn’t this exciting?

This surround feature is what makes people purchase 5.1 home theaters or ultra-surround-sound capable Soundbars.

But you will get the same surround features without having to buy many surround speakers. 

It will also save you from the clutter of speaker wires.

So this TV has it’s own inbuilt quality Soundbar.

Just like with a home theater you’ll also enjoy clear distinct speech. No need to strain your ears to hear foreign speech or use subtitles. 

The clear voice feature makes sure that speech is as clear as possible.

Power Rating

With all it’s amazing features like the inbuilt soundbar and quad processor, I’m not surprised that this LG UM7340 model consumes more power than smaller televisions.

The power rating for this TV is 135w. That’s a far cry from the usual 60 – 65W that 32 inch TVs consume. 

The Polystar 32 inch TV only consumes 65 w.

So energy saving is not one of this TVs strong features. 

It also does not work well with low voltage and may make funny beeping sounds if the voltage is too low.

Notwithstanding, it will work well on generators from 2.5kva upwards. 

Just take into account the rating of the other appliances you will be using on the said generator.

So if you’re considering this TV, then be sure to put it’s energy requirements into consideration as well.

Smart Features

We’ve seen one of it’s weaknesses. Let us go back to it’s areas of strength.

When it comes to smartness, this TV offers the latest features you could expect from a smart TV.

Is it voice control? Check. Thanks to the AI ThinQ smart feature you can set your viewing preferences with just the sound of your voice.

You can perform a voice search also like you do on your smartphone.

It also has the usual smart features you expect from a smart TV.

It supports

• Miracast

• Has a web browser that works just as well as chrome does on your smart phone.

• Gives you access to digital channels although some require subscription.

The magic remote is also worth mentioning. When I used it I felt like I was waving a magic wand.

Why? 

First off, it’s the magic remote that enables you to use the voice control features. Because it has a mic button to receive your voice commands.

Secondly it has a pointer. You know like a mouse arrow on a computer or laptop. 

So while you wave the remote like a wand you can use the pointer to select stuff on the screen. 

This is really neat especially when you’re using the inbuilt browser.

If you’re still not grasping how awesome the magic remote is, let me explain further.

You can hold the remote close to your lips and ask stuff like 'what is time in California? Or ‘give me the service contact for Fouani store in Abuja.

And it would give you accurate results. Don’t forget to press and hold the mic button when issuing commands.

Extras/ Connectivity

When it comes to connectivity, this TV has 3 HDMI ports. Most TV sets have just 2.

It also possesses Bluetooth v5.0 and Wi-Fi features. The Wi-Fi is very strong and sensitive (802.11ac).

It is 5G and will support a maximum speed of 1300mbps. 

This is why streaming 4k content is easy to do with this TV as long as your service provider supports such data transfer rates.

Because it operates strictly on a 5GHz frequency, it won’t interfere with older wireless routers that or cordless phones running on a 2GHz frequency.

The LG UM7340 is a very recent model. It’s a 2019 model to be precise. So you’re getting premium and modern TV tech.

LG is also a leading and trusted brand in Nigeria so you don’t have to worry about durability or quality.

This TV is a solid, good quality product with exciting features. And it’s worth it’s price.
