4:4:4 TV question

[Michael_315]

I'm currently running GTX970 SLI and I plan to play PC games in 4K. Previously I heard that it is best for me to buy a 4:4:4 TV. I am currently thinking of getting this model, http://www.lg.com/hk_en/tv/lg-49UH7500 but I do not see anything under the specs mention whether this is a 4:4:4 tv or not, does anyone knows how to check? Thank you in advance.

Yes, it supports 4k 60 Hz 4:4:4 color resolution.

Sometimes the listed specs aren't always true, so best would be to ask LG themselves, using this live chat: http://www.lg.com/us/support/chat-and-email-information



All the best!

Thanks so much Suzuki, you are a lifesaver! Since now I know the manual mentioned whether or not it is 4:4:4, I'm now looking into other 4:4:4 available options. http://www.lg.com/hk_en/tv/lg-55UF7700 I saw this last year model on sale today and the manual mentioned this having 4:4:4 too. The only difference I see is that the new UH version has HDR and this old UF version does not. If my main purpose is for gaming, shall I save some bucks to go for the old model or HDR does enhance my gaming experience? Thank you so much.

HDR doesn't enhance your gaming experience. Games are still made in (layman's terms) Rec709, where as HDR is Rec2020. You benefit from HDR in some streaming media, and the 4k blu ray discs.

All the best!
