Is the LG UA77 good for gaming?

Only casually. It has a 60Hz panel and no variable refresh rate or HDMI 2.1, so fast console games will show motion blur and no 120fps support.

Does it have local dimming?

No. It uses a direct LED backlight without local dimming, which is why its native contrast is low and dark scenes look grey.

Which streaming apps are built in?

webOS includes Netflix, Disney+, Max, ESPN and LG Channels, plus the LG app store for more.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three HDMI inputs, along with Ethernet for a wired network connection. HDMI CEC lets one remote control connected devices.

Yes. The included stand can be removed and the TV mounted on a VESA bracket, though the bracket is not included.

Is it a good main living-room TV?

It works best as a secondary or budget set. In a bright main room its lack of anti-glare coating and weak blacks are noticeable against QLED and mini-LED rivals.

Our take on the LG UA77 Series 4K Smart TV

The LG UA77 is an entry-level 4K LED smart TV with a direct-lit panel, 60Hz native refresh and the webOS smart platform. It covers the basics well: three HDMI ports, HDR10 Pro, Filmmaker Mode and all the major streaming apps. Its weak point is contrast — the panel has a very low native contrast ratio and no local dimming, so dark scenes look grey next to QLED and mini-LED rivals. It suits budget buyers and secondary rooms more than movie buffs.
