LG UHD UP81
4K TVProduct Gallery





Product Overview
LG UHD UP81 is a mainstream 4K VA TV in LG's 2021 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel and available in 43", 50", 55", 65", 70", and 75" size classes.
A highlight of the LG UP81 is a high screen-to-body ratio up to 94.70%. Additionally, it supports HDR formats including HDR10 Pro and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma).
On the downside, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of image quality.
