LG UT7570 [UT75, UT7590] Review (43UT7590PUA, 50UT7570PUB, 55UT7570PUB, 65UT7570PUB, 70UT7590PUA, 75UT7590PUA, 86UT7590PUA) (2024)

Curved No

The LG UT7570 looks okay overall for a budget TV and is very similar to last year's LG UQ7590. It has thin bezels on all three sides and a thicker bottom bezel. Although it doesn't look as good as LG's more costly TVs, it's still not bad for the price.

Wall Mount VESA 200x300

The inputs are housed in a much smaller box than the LG UQ7590, which gives the back of the TV a cleaner look. Since the inputs are located in the middle, they're hard to reach if you have the TV wall-mounted. Unfortunately, there are no clips or anything to help with cable management.

The TV has decent build quality overall. It's mostly made of plastic, so it's light and feels a bit cheap, but the two feet hold the TV well enough that there are no major issues with stability. Unfortunately, our unit does have some uneven assembly near the top of the screen, so there's a small gap between the screen and the borders of the TV.

Contrast

Native Contrast

The LG UT75 has awful contrast. Blacks are raised and look gray when highlights are also on the screen, and the TV lacks a local dimming feature to improve its contrast.

—

The TV doesn't have a local dimming feature, so there's no blooming around bright objects or subtitles during dark scenes.

—

Local Dimming

Backlight

Dimming Zones Count Of Tested TV

This TV doesn't have a local dimming feature, so it can't adjust the backlight of individual zones to brighten up highlights without impacting the rest of the image. This means that there are no distracting flickers or brightness changes as bright highlights move across the screen.

—

Switching to Game Optimizer doesn't result in any noticeable difference in dark scene performance.

4000 Nit Tracking Delta

The LG UT75 has great PQ EOTF tracking. Blacks and near-blacks are raised, but the TV follows the curve very closely until it approaches its peak brightness. With content mastered at 600 and 1000 nits, there's a gradual roll-off near the TV's peak brightness to retain detail in highlights. With content mastered at 4000 nits, the roll-off is much more gradual.

The TV's color volume is mediocre. It does a bad job at displaying dark colors due to its awful contrast, and the TV isn't nearly bright enough to display colors at high luminance levels.

The TV has just alright pre-calibration SDR accuracy. Reds and greens are overrepresented in dark shades of gray, and blues are overrepresented in most shades of gray. The color temperature is much cooler than our target of 6500K, so the image is too blue. Gamma is close to our target of 2.2, but dark scenes are much brighter than intended, and moderately-lit scenes are a bit too dark. Fortunately, the TV has very good color accuracy in SDR, but whites and lighter shades of most colors are inaccurate.

The LG UT7570 has good gray uniformity. The edges and corners of the screen are darker than the center, and there's some noticeable dirty screen effect towards the middle of the screen. On a very dark or near-black screen, its uniformity is fantastic, with only the corners being slightly darker than the rest of the screen.

The LG UT75 has disappointing black uniformity, since the entire screen is blueish and cloudy.

Brightness Loss

Black Level Raise

Gamma Shift

The TV has a very good viewing angle. Colors wash out, and there's some brightness loss the further you move off-center, but the image remains mostly consistent when viewed from the sides of the screen. This makes it a good option for a wide seating arrangement.

Screen Finish

Total Reflections

Indirect Reflections

Calculated Direct Reflections

The LG UT7570 has good reflection handling. Its semi-gloss screen finish significantly reduces the intensity of indirect reflections, like when glare from a ceiling light isn't directly facing the screen. Unfortunately, the TV's handling of direct reflections is only okay, so reflections caused by something like a lamp positioned in front of the screen are distracting.

The TV's gradient handling is adequate. There's some noticeable banding in dark grays, dark reds, dark blues, and bright greens, and dark greens have significant banding.

The TV's low-quality content smoothing is good. Details are preserved well, but there's still some noticeable macro blocking in dark scenes.

The TV has an RGB sub-pixel layout, so it doesn't have any issues rendering text when used as a PC monitor.

The LG UT7570 has an only decent response time, so there's some noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects.

—

Flicker-Free

PWM Dimming Frequency

The TV uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to dim its backlight, which introduces flicker that can bother people who are sensitive to it. Unfortunately, it flickers at a slow 120Hz in all picture modes and at all brightness levels, so it can cause headaches and eye strain if you're sensitive to flicker.

The TV doesn't have an optional backlight strobing feature, commonly known as black frame insertion (BFI), to help reduce persistence blur.

Motion Interpolation (30 fps)

Motion Interpolation (60 fps)

The TV has an optional motion interpolation feature to improve the clarity of motion, but it doesn't work very well. It does an okay job of smoothing out slower panning shots, but the TV struggles with fast-moving scenes, and there are distracting artifacts around fast-moving objects.

—

Due to the TV's slower response time, there's only some minor stutter when watching movies or TV shows, and it's only noticeable during slow panning shots.

Unfortunately, it doesn't remove 24p judder from 60Hz sources like most cable TV boxes and older streaming devices that lack a Match Frame Rate feature unless you set De-Judder to '10'.

Dynamic Range Compression

The TV's frequency response is sub-par. Like most TVs, bass is non-existent. The sound is well-balanced at moderate listening levels, so dialogue is clear, but it sounds progressively worse as the volume increases. Since the TV doesn't get very loud, it's best suited for a quiet environment.
