Deal | LG's massive 75-inch UR9000 4K Smart TV gets an equally massive 59% discount, but here's what you need to know
Finding a 75-inch TV for under $500 (especially from a reputed brand) is rare, but LG's UR9000 is now available for just $449.99 on Woot, which is a huge drop from its usual $1,099.99 price. Before jumping in, let's take a look into whether this deal really offers good value for your money or not.
The LG UR9000 is an entry-level 4K smart TV aimed mostly at casual viewers who prioritize size and affordability over top-tier performance. It runs on LG's Alpha5 AI Processor 4K Gen6, which offers basic AI-powered upscaling to 4K and HDR10 Pro support. With webOS 23 onboard, you're getting a reliable smart platform featuring popular streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime. Alexa integration and the Magic Remote are convenient extras.
However, the Rtings.com review does highlight some critical limitations worth noting. While it handles typical daytime viewing well, the UR9000 struggles a lot in dark rooms due to its poor contrast ratio and limited brightness. HDR content won't look particularly vibrant either, with dull highlights and shadows lacking detail.
Gamers might also feel shortchanged as the TV caps out at a 60Hz refresh rate with no Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, meaning fast-paced games will appear less smooth. However, it does support cloud gaming through Nvidia GeForce Now and has a dedicated Game Optimizer mode for adjusting basic settings quickly.
Connectivity-wise, the LG UR9000 covers essentials with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB ports, and HDMI connections, though it misses out on HDMI 2.1, which is beneficial for newer gaming consoles.
You might be wondering who's this TV ideal for? It's great for budget shoppers looking for an enormous screen primarily for daytime TV viewing, casual streaming, or as an affordable display for offices or public spaces. But serious movie watchers and dedicated gamers might be disappointed by the TV's performance limitations.
Given the new all-time low $449.99 price tag, it's certainly appealing - but make sure it fits your viewing habits before (and if) you jump on this deal.
