The LG UJ 6300 4K HDR Ultra HDTV: A Comprehensive Review

The LG UJ 6300 is the entry-level point in LG's 4K TV lineup, and it's an excellent starting point for anyone looking to upgrade their viewing experience. But what can you expect from this entry-level TV? In this article, we'll dive into the design, picture quality, performance, and features of the LG UJ 6300.

Design: A Solid Entry Point

The first thing that stands out about the LG UJ 6300 is its design. While it may not be the most visually stunning TV on the market, it's definitely a solid entry point for anyone looking to upgrade their viewing experience. The back panel and stand are made of unremarkable plastic, but the bezel is still far more handsome than many less expensive TVs. LG has put a decent touch on the looks of this TV, and it's sturdy enough to withstand the test of time.

One notable feature of the design is the connection bay on the back of the TV. You'll find three HDMI inputs, two of which are recessed and one that's rear-facing, along with a jack that accompanies the rest of the inputs. The stand follows a trend that we're seeing this year, where legs are used instead of a pedestal, and it requires 53.5 inches of width on your entertainment stand or cabinet.

When looking at the TV straight on, you'll notice an anti-reflective coating for a semi-gloss look, which does a decent job of rejecting ambient light. However, in the brightest settings, this TV will wash out just a touch. It's nothing to be too concerned about, but if sunlight comes through your windows and shines right on the TV, it won't be able to battle against it.

Powering up the TV for the first time launches the webOS Smart TV wizard, which is where you'll connect to Wi-Fi, set up your cable box, or scan for channels if you use an antenna. We recommend using expert darkroom or expert bright room mode for the best and most accurate picture quality right out of the box.

However, there's one thing to keep in mind when it comes to this TV: Eco mode. It restricts the TV's brightness significantly, which can ask for a more true motion experience. Make sure to turn off or minimize this feature if you want the best viewing experience.

Motion Interpolation: A Feature That Doesn't Work as Expected

One thing that this TV doesn't do well is what's called motion interpolation. The feature that's meant to smooth out motion tends to make it worse, and we don't recommend using it. You won't get a magic motion remote with this TV, so you'll need to rely on other methods to achieve smooth motion.

Using WebOS: A User-Friendly Interface

As for the webOS interface, it's not difficult to use. You simply go up, down, left, or right to navigate through menus, and enter to select options. However, we did notice that the chip that runs webOS in this TV seems slightly slower than the models above it. This may feel a little sluggish, but it's worth noting that we've been playing around with really fast TVs lately.

Picture Quality: A Great Start for 4K

When it comes to picture quality, the LG UJ 6300 does well and sometimes even surpasses top-tier manufacturers. However, it's not the brightest TV on the market, which means it may struggle in very bright environments. But when watching HDR content, its brightness is significantly improved, making for a much more enjoyable viewing experience.

Unfortunately, this TV doesn't do as well with HDR as some slightly more expensive models. If HDR is what you're most excited about, we recommend taking a step up to the UJ 7700 or better yet, the super UHD SJ 8500. But if you're looking for a great TV for general use, despite lacking in color brightness, then this is definitely worth considering.

Gamers, Take Note: Low Input Lag

One notable feature of the LG UJ 6300 that's sure to delight gamers is its extremely low input lag. With an impressive 11 milliseconds in game mode, this TV is great for first-person shooters and other fast-paced games. Overall, the LG UJ 6300 is a solid entry point for anyone looking to upgrade their viewing experience.

Screen Size: A Lot of Value for Your Money

Finally, one of the best things about the LG UJ 6300 is its screen size. You can get a lot of screen size for your money with this TV, which makes it an excellent choice for those who want to upgrade but don't have a large budget.

If you're stepping up from an older mid-tier 1080p TV, you'll definitely notice improvements in picture quality. The LG UJ 6300 is a great choice for anyone looking to take their viewing experience to the next level without breaking the bank.
