This time we want to talk to you about the LG UP77 that presents us with an interesting number of features, and that we are talking about the mid-range, which is not usually as equipped as others.<\/p>\n<p>We could say that the LG UP77 is closer to the entry-level high-end due to the benefits that we find in its operation. Of course, its cost could be considered a bit high, although after doing certain tests we can determine that its value is in accordance with what is offered, so, we are going to know in detail what it offers.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior design of the LG UP77<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-77637 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"Design that stands out for offering a slim appearance in almost all its construction\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/L2-4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-77637\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design that stands out for offering a slim appearance in almost all its construction<\/p>\n<p>It has an interesting appearance that easily stands out in any place where it is located, therefore, it will have a suitable integration with the decoration that has its surroundings.\u00a0In this case we are talking about the 50-inch model, which due to its size is recommended for medium-sized rooms.\u00a0Its black color allows us to enjoy a greater presence\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>To increase the elegance offered we have a front with slim bezels that look perfect regardless of the angle from which we view the television.\u00a0In addition,\u00a0this also allows the reproduced content to have better dimensions\u00a0, since the useful screen space is greater and reaches 93% of the total area that is used to view the images.<\/p>\n<p>The back also offers a good view thanks to its minimal thickness and maintains a thinner appearance, in addition, it\u00a0shows cleanliness\u00a0and\u00a0better workmanship than those seen in other models\u00a0.\u00a0Without a doubt, we will consider its aesthetics as a positive point.\u00a0In this case, how the least remarkable can we mention that its construction is weak.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>We will not have a large number of connectors as it used to happen in previous televisions, however, we will have those necessary for an acceptable experience.\u00a0For example, we have two\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0to connect external devices such as\u00a0laptops\u00a0,\u00a0consoles\u00a0or\u00a0players\u00a0.\u00a0Another important option is its\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0port\u00a0that allows you to play content, however, its main benefit will be the possibility of recording directly from the television.<\/p>\n<p>We have other physical connections that are also very useful, such as its Ethernet port, its satellite input, its digital audio output and its RF type antenna.\u00a0Another benefit is that this model is compatible with a notorious variety of tuners.\u00a0At the wireless level we are also well covered by its\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0to make use of the internet from a distance.\u00a0With its\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0we can connect certain devices without having to use cables.<\/p>\n<h2>Image quality and general functions of the LG UP77<\/h2>\n<p>The LG UP77\u00a0is a good option to enjoy our favorite content, as it offers certain benefits in image quality.\u00a0To begin with,\u00a0we have a 4K resolution that provides four times more power than Full HD\u00a0, therefore, we will have a greater amount of detail that later becomes more realistic images.<\/p>\n<p>It has a\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0panel\u00a0that is not as powerful as we would like, therefore,\u00a0the backlighting that we obtain is regular\u00a0, and this could cause certain difficulties in darker or brighter environments.\u00a0Here the main recommendation is to look for a suitable placement, however, the inclusion of technologies greatly improves this point.<\/p>\n<p>Here we highlight having\u00a0Dynamic Color\u00a0that seeks to give us a broader spectrum of colors that have a more natural tone,\u00a0which a priori allows us to see more vivid\u00a0and\u00a0intense images\u00a0.\u00a0The contrast is also benefited by\u00a0LG Local Contrast\u00a0that seeks to put it in a sharper state to the degree that it does not need as much lighting.<\/p>\n<p>In case the content we are going to view is in a lower definition we should not worry,\u00a0since through 4K Upscaler we get it to raise its quality\u00a0and\u00a0approach 4K\u00a0.\u00a0For its part, Noise Reduction allows us to enjoy scenes with more fluid movements.\u00a0It is also compatible with\u00a0HDR10 Pro\u00a0and\u00a0HLG\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>We have a regular audio quality that could seem its weakest point, however, you must remember that we are talking about a model within the mid-range.\u00a0Therefore, we cannot be too demanding at this point.\u00a0Here we are going to find two speakers\u00a0and\u00a0a total power of 20W\u00a0, in addition, certain improvement technologies are included.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, thanks to the integration of these functions, we can enjoy a sound with a little more quality.\u00a0If you want to know all that it offers you can find them in the table that we leave you above.\u00a0In this case, we can highlight that it has\u00a0Clear Voice\u00a0,\u00a0Dolby Digital\u00a0,\u00a0LG Sound Sync\u00a0,\u00a0Sound Mode Sync\u00a0and\u00a0Ultra Surround technologies\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart TV \/ software review and more highlights<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-77638 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"Enjoy a complete system that provides great benefits for your entertainment\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/L3-4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-77638\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoy a complete system that provides great benefits for your entertainment<\/p>\n<p>The LG UP77\u00a0offers us its own operating system that is known as webOS in this case the most recent version is included, therefore,\u00a0we will have better optimization\u00a0and\u00a0security\u00a0.\u00a0It is also an intuitive platform that any user would know how to use.\u00a0Likewise, it has an extensive application catalog.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously it has the most popular of the moment such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0,\u00a0YouTube\u00a0,\u00a0Disney +\u00a0and\u00a0Apple TV\u00a0.\u00a0They are perfect options to enjoy thousands of movies and series.\u00a0Another benefit that we cannot forget is its compatibility with\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0and\u00a0Amazon Alexa\u00a0that allow us to control the TV using only our voice.<\/p>\n<p>Another application that we cannot forget is\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0that allows us to stream content from devices such as iPhone or iPad.\u00a0Thanks to this we can view photos, videos and even listen to music in a simple way.\u00a0This TV also features good optimization for gaming thanks to\u00a0Game Optimizer\u00a0and\u00a0Low Input Lag\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h2>LG UP77: Pros and
