Our take on the LG UT70
The LG UT70 is LG's entry-level 4K LCD TV, sold in large sizes such as 75 inches. It uses a direct-lit panel with a 60Hz native refresh rate, the α5 AI Processor 4K Gen7, HDR10 and HLG support, and the webOS smart platform. It suits buyers who want a big-screen LG with the brand's smart interface at the low end of the range. Against rivals it gives up 120Hz panels, full-array local dimming and wide color, and its 20W 2.0-channel audio is basic, so it is a value pick rather than a picture-quality one.
- Large 4K screen for the money
- webOS is fast and easy to navigate
- Three HDMI inputs, one with eARC
- ALLM reduces lag for console gaming
- α5 Gen7 processor upscales HD content decently
- 60Hz panel, no 120Hz or VRR
What reviewers say
Owners of LG's entry 4K sets generally like the simple webOS interface and the size for the money, but note weak black levels, modest brightness and thin built-in sound.
- Picture qualityMixedOwners say 4K content looks sharp but dark scenes lose detail because there is no local dimming.
- BrightnessCriticisedReviewers note the panel is dimmer than mid-range sets, so HDR has limited impact.
- SoundCriticisedThe 20W speakers are described as thin, with buyers often adding a soundbar.
- Smart interface
Questions and answers
- Is the LG UT70 good for gaming?
- It handles casual console gaming with ALLM and low input lag, but the 60Hz panel and no VRR or 120Hz mode limit fast-paced titles.
- Does the LG UT70 have local dimming?
- No. It uses a direct-lit backlight without local dimming, so black levels are average and dark scenes can look gray.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- Three HDMI inputs, one of which supports eARC for a soundbar, plus two USB 2.0 ports.
- Does it support Dolby Vision?
- No. HDR support is limited to HDR10 and HLG.
- Is a soundbar needed?
- Most owners find the 20W 2.0-channel speakers thin and add a soundbar through the eARC port.
- What refresh rate does it run at?
- 60Hz native, so it does not offer 120Hz gaming or motion smoothing at higher frame rates.
