LG 65UB980V review

This high-end 4K/Ultra HD TV combines brilliant Smarts with spectacular images... LG has had a topsy-turvy year in TV. On the upside, the brand’s taken the Smart TV world by storm with its WebOS interface. On the downside, it’s struggled to keep up with some rivals on the picture quality front.

LG’s UB9800 Ultra HD 4K TV may not win an award for the best TV of the year, but it gets mighty close, thanks in no small part to its easy-to-use webOS operating system.
