Our take on the LG LED TV 50 4K A5 HDR10 Pro Smart TV WebOS 22 50UQ80006LB

The LG 50UQ80006LB is a 50-inch 4K LED TV with a direct-lit panel, HDR10 Pro and the webOS 22 smart platform. It covers the basics well: built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet, DVB-C/S2/T2 tuners, and a slim 5.7 cm body that sits close to the wall. It suits buyers who want a straightforward 4K smart TV for a living room or bedroom without paying for mini-LED or OLED. Against rivals at this tier it leans on webOS and LG's app range rather than picture brightness, and its 60 Hz panel and edge-level HDR are the main limits next to pricier sets.

Questions and answers

Is this TV good for gaming?

It handles casual gaming, but the 60 Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 features limit it for fast competitive play on new consoles.

Does it have local dimming?

No. It uses a direct-LED backlight without local dimming, so dark scenes are less deep than on mini-LED or OLED sets.

What smart system does it run?

webOS 22, LG's platform, with the main streaming apps and a simple launcher.

Can I wall mount it?

Yes. The panel is about 5.7 cm deep without the stand and uses a standard VESA mount.

Does it need an external aerial or box?

No for streaming, since Wi-Fi and Ethernet are built in. For broadcast you can use its DVB-C, DVB-S2 or DVB-T2 tuners.

Is it a good upgrade from an older 1080p TV?

Yes for sharpness and apps. Expect a clear step up in detail, but not OLED-level contrast.
