According to Samsung

Then something is faulty there and you can't even do a factory reset on the TV without going into the "Self Diagnosis" menu.
Perhaps the latest update did not finish properly and left a few files corrupted.


I got a trick for you to try on , which worked on my MU7000 back then. Head to General system -> System Manager -> Switch to Retail mode -> Go back to Self Diagnosis -> Reset TV.

If this doesn't work then you will have to speak to their Customer Service .


Nope I have not have measured a HAIER TV before but if a TV is priced much lower than its competition , it will have to compromise somehow . It is a simple give and take .
The trade-offs may not be immediately visible but in the long run they are going to haunt you .

So unless you really want to save on budget and don't care about what you're watching , I don't recommend it.

Those who still want to get an adequate , affordable HDR TV better grab the last stocks of NU8000 ASAP.

Samsung has removed all Local Dimming system on the 2019 successor RU8000 , effectively rendering the model to fall into the " Fake HDR TV " category.

The next " affordable " HDR TV title will move on to the new QLED Q75R , which is far too expensive than most people will pay for an LCD TV ( 55 " for $7-8k )

Yes , especially if it is not a display unit.

UK = 2018 , UJ = 2017

" Dolby Vision " is the key here.
Paying for a world wide Dolby Vision license is expensive , very expensive .

It is like joining the royalty club for TV brands , one of the reason why it is only found at the upper range models for TV .
They can do that for the US because they have the market and audience for it . Outside of US , they will not find that kind of market even in China because most Chinese shows are not even mastered in DV.
Which also explain why TCL TV and most Chinese TV brands outside of US are not compatible with DV.


They did not bring the last year's H9E in the Asian region , I really don't see that changing anytime soon.

On the other hand , the more affordable Dolby Vision TVs can be found on the upcoming Panasonic GX800 ( which will also support HDR10+ at the same time ).

Spend a little more for the upgrade on NU7400 instead. Should still fit within your budget.

It is one of the very rare , entry level TV in MY which is verified to have support of wider color space of DCI-P3. Up to 94% IIRC .

There is no major difference between direct lit and edge lit , they are just the method TV used to light up the screen .
If done properly , neither will cause you any problems . It should never be a factor to consider when buying TV.


If it doesn't matter why are people keep talking about it ?
Because people on internet spit bullcrap all the time . Just like some TV fanatics around these corners who keep spreading wrong information.
I don't have time nor intention to correct them , let alone to reply to them . Let them remain the laughing stocks they are , after all you can't wake up someone who is not sleeping .


Back to the topic , the only time when direct lit / edge lit becomes important is when the TV has a Local Dimming system.

In general , the direct-lit Local Dimming ( also known as Full Array Local Dimming ) is far better because they can control the LED backlight of TV via separate zones .
These TV can project a much better dark room performance and contrast compare to the edge-lit counterparts.


So to reiterate what I just said , if you're planning to get a TV with no local dimming system , direct lit or edge lit should not be a deal breaker.
I hope that clear up some of your confusion .


TBF , I know next to nothing on the UK6200.
It is pretty much the only LG TV model that has completely slipped off my radar from last year .
I do know it is a variant of UK6100/UK6300 but not a RGBW TV.

No budget , as in limited spending or no limit on the budget ?

You don't need necessarily need an Android TV for Youtube and Netflix. They are commonly available on smart 4k TV.

If it is possible , stretch for a 55 " instead. 55" is not that much bigger than a 49" / 50".

49" is where many of TV brands are starting to remove features , such as the downgraded refresh rate .

If you can settle down for a 55 " , there is a whole new selection opened up for you , especially when you got the $$$ .
For eg, you can get an OLED which is light years ahead of the most LCD TVs in MY.


If you insist on a 49" / 50 " , you can still get a QLED Q60R from Samsung . Other LCD TV of this bracket simply can't compete with Quantum Dots screen.
But it isn't as good as the QLED or NU8000 from last year. Sadly You don't exactly get many choices for premium TV at this size.

If you dislike Samsung , You can go for a 49" FX700K from Panasonic instead.

Get a C8 instead . You can get one at below 7K now .

I would get the UK65 if they are not too picky .

Look for a deal where they give you a free LG magic remote .
It makes using the TV a lot more simple and intuitive . WebOS is snappy , sleek and easier to use as well.

x7000f .


55 " 4k display for 2.2k is very reasonable regardless of brands .

The NU8000 is a lot more consistently brighter than UK7500 .

UK7500 may look bright enough in the shop . But TV shops don't usually loop HDR demo because it makes TV consumes more electricity in the long run.
Download some HDR demo clip on a thumbdrive and play them on the said TV.

And unlike most things in real life , TV only shows its " true colors " when the lights are turned off . Every little flaw on the screen is made more obvious in the dark.
Which is why it is impossible to determine the Picture Quality from demo in shop which is usually bright and well lit.

The same reason why last year , during Samsung QLED 's debut event they have briefly dimmed down the lights to show off the picture quality of their high end QLED Models .


I remembered the W750X model from Sony . It was one of the very rare 1080p TV that is compatible with HDR .
Unfortunately as you described , it can't get bright enough to extend the dynamic range of the pictures since it doesn't has a Local Dimming system.

The whole purpose of getting 4k TV , is you can sit closer to the screen and not having to see all the pixelation.
Without dwelling into too much details because this topic has been widely discussed , if you are below sitting below 2.5 m , 55" will be fine . Further than 2.5m , 65" + is ideal.
Typically if the TV screen is filling up roughly ~ 40%-60% of your vision field , that should be your comfort zone.

Remember these are merely guidelines . They are more of a recommendation but not absolute rules . Feel free to make adjustment if needed .
Of course if you have a bigger TV , you also have more flexibility to adjust the distance between your seat and the screen.

It depends on which aspect of the TV you are looking at .

If you just want to look at which TV is the brightest , that just might work .

But if you are looking to compare overall picture quality , Vivid mode is usually the most offensive and inaccurate mode ; colors are over saturated , temperatures too cold , whites are too blue , artificial sharpening is maxed out .... etc etc . Different brand uses different settings in vivid mode as well .

What sort of reliability issues ?


Sounds like you are talking about an NU7400 / RU7400.

This post has been edited by Convael: Jun 24 2019, 11:18 AM

Sales guy would say all sort of bullcrap just to sell TVs . Most of them know close to nothing about actual TV industry in general.
Perhaps in that particular month , he was responsible for promoting the sales of the LG brand ? who knows


And no , i don't think Samsung TV has reliability issues .

There are obviously more ppl who send in Samsung TV for repairs , because Samsung has sold 10 times more LCD TV than LG ever did in their entire lifespan .
The more people bought TV from one brand , the more faulty TVs there will be , even if the defect chance for these major brands remain the same hypothetically.

It is only in the high end market , the LG 's OLEDs are doing better than the Samsung's premium QLEDs .

He is not making the slightest sense and has no evidence to support his claims.



NU8000 is better than the UK65 . But the model has already been replaced by the newly debut RU8000 ( which is a downgrade ).
So if you still want to get the TV , you will probably miss the last train if you wait too long .

On a side note , the new Panasonic GX800 is a pretty decent new TV for living room .
It can hit a brightness of around 500 nits and supporting all the major HDR format on the market .
If you are willing to wait for a price drop , maybe go for the Panasonic instead .

If something is too cheap to be good , it is probably a scam .

The scammers usually ask you to bank in directly to their bank account instead of paying on Lazada , because Lazada could not interfere with the private transaction if it turns out to be a fraud .

Or there is also a possibility of the merchant selling counterfeit products from India . Sony is particularly , a popular brand to rip off in India . If you ever buy from them , check your TV product code with Sony and you can always return the item if they turn out to be fake .

They are quite similar . Objectively the NU8000 is probably slightly brighter but I doubt most people would really notice that .

Since they are both mid-range TVs , to be perfectly honest they are neither the best TV for the brightest or darkest room.
The NU8000 is probably a wee bit better in a dark room since it has a VA screen , GX800 is an IPS TV ( the MY version differs from the VA panels they used in the UK ).


The Tizen OS from Samsung TV is more sleek and easy to use but they don't get updated .
For eg , NU8000 is running on Tizen 4.0 and it is not getting updated to the tizen 5.0 used in the 2019 models.

It will go down , that much is confirmed .

But will it be at the same level as NU8000 , that is hard to tell . There are very little TV models can be classified as Mid-range in MY , which also means they don't have to face a lot of competition.
It also has to depend on how desperate the retailers are on clearing stocks.

The Panasonic OS is called My Home Screen but it is not as tidy and as intuitive as the Tizen .

Of course not .


4K is essentially 8 millions pixels , 4 times that of 1080p .

4k TV has to undergo an upscaling process to recreate the same 1080p scene on a 4k screen.

With that being said , any upscaling algorithm is nothing more than an estimation .
The same part of the picture which was originally covering 1 pixel dot , has to be stretched to cover 4 pixel or more.
Which is why lower resolution material tend to look a tad blurry on high res display.


Pristine and high quality of 1080p content should look fairly identical with 4k .
720p is still acceptable on some brands , Sony and Samsung in particular .

Anything below that looks like garbage.


Contrary to the popular belief , the process of upscaling is important in retrieving more details and texture of the original picture.
Where cheap TV brands are just applying artificial sharpening on the edge which completely destroy the natural look of the image.

Panasonic's new GX800 is compatible with Dolby Vision too . 55" is below $4k now.
