The 43-inch LG 4K Smart TV gets a huge price cut at Walmart

Searching for a new TV so you can watch all your favorite shows in 4K? You’re in luck — Walmart has wiped $230 off the shelf price of one of LG’s most reliable 43-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs, dropping the price down to $270.

But that’s not the best bit. That would be Walmart’s kind offer to split the cost, including tax, over a 12-month period. We ran the calculation for our Portland office and the total balance was $325, which equates to a more affordable $24 per month.

The TV on offer is LG’s 43-inch 43UK6300PUE (we know, naming conventions for TVs are the most confusing thing ever), which is armed with an LED screen (rather than an OLED one) that’s crisp, sharp, and has a fantastic default color profile.

Just like the 55-inch 4K LG Smart TV we featured earlier this week, the 43UK6300PUE can showcase both native 4K Ultra HD content as well as standard Full HD material in an upscaled 4K resolution.

It also benefits from multi-format HDR, factoring in both HDR10 and HLG for future broadcasts, fusing it with LG’s advanced tone mapping tech, which does a stellar job at sprucing up detail in low-light scenes — regardless of how action-packed they are.

That’s not where the high-tech goodness ends, either. There’s a so-called Magic Remote in the box, which lets you use either gestures, the default set of buttons, or the firm’s trademark Intelligent Voice Control feature to control the TV.

Here’s a brief look at the types of commands you can throw its way:

  • “Turn down the volume.”
  • “Open Netflix.”
  • “Switch to HDMI 2.”
  • “Search YouTube for NBA.”
  • “Schedule the TV to turn off at 10 PM.”

At 43-inches, the 43UK6300PUE won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. If it’s a little too small (or big) for you, check out our comprehensive buying guide — it will help you find the best model based on your various requirements.

We’d also recommend checking out our list of other TV deals if this one doesn’t tickle your fancy. There are plenty of deals to choose from, including a top-of-the-range Samsung 75-inch QLED one for $1,978 — a total saving of $1,219.

TCL’s NXTFrame gallery TV launches with a little help from Bang & Olufsen
TCL NXTFrame A3000W Pro.

TCL has released its answer to Samsung's popular The Frame TV. Known as the TCL NXTFrame, it comes in 55-, 65-, 75-, and 85-inch sizes, as well as in both a regular and "pro" version, with prices starting at $1,500. The three smallest sizes are available starting August 5, with the 85-inch models showing up in stores and online in September. TCL claims the NXTFrame is the world’s thinnest “All-In-One” TV, with a 1.1-inch deep chassis on the 55- to 75-inch models.

The NXTFrame and NXTFrame Pro are identical in terms of the TV portion, with the Pro models getting the added benefit of a 3.1.2 soundbar and wireless subwoofer system that has been co-engineered by TCL and Bang & Olufsen (B&O). TCL says that the audio system uses B&O’s BeoSonic,"a proprietary digital interface, which allows customers to seamlessly customize and refine their sound experience."

Sling TV — the third-largest of the live-streaming services in the U.S. — announced today in a blog post that it will stream some live sports in 4K resolution. It joins the likes of YouTube TV and Fubo with that feature, though it has limitations that the other services do not.

All of the services are limited in what they can stream in 4K — it's ultimately up to the source material. But Sling TV has an added limitation in that the higher resolution is only available in certain locations.

LG rolls out its gamer-friendly M4 wireless OLED TV
LG OLED M4 wireless TV.

LG has announced the latest generation of its wireless OLED TV -- the LG OLED evo M4 (originally announced at CES) -- began its official rollout on July 1.

The new model comes with two big changes that could see it find a home in households where gaming is a big part of the entertainment mix. The first is the addition of 4K video at 144Hz. While that won't mean much to folks who primarily watch movies and TV shows, it's a significant change for gamers who enjoy high-frame-rate titles. With native support for a 144Hz refresh rate, these games are going to look even smoother than they did on the OLED evo M3, which topped out at 4K/120Hz. Just keep in mind that the biggest M4 -- the 97-inch model -- is still limited to 4K/120Hz.
