However, with so many options out there, can we justify the investment, especially with newer models hitting the shelves? Today, we’ll dive into the specifics of this 2019 model—its performance, features, and whether it’s a smart choice for your living room or just another relic of the past.

I’m considering picking up the LG 65UM6900 65" 4K UHD Smart TV (2019 model) that’s listed as an open box item. I’m particularly interested in how the picture quality holds up—does the 4K resolution really make a noticeable difference, especially for streaming content?

Also, how’s the sound quality? I tend to watch a lot of movies and shows, so I’m hoping it delivers a solid audio experience without needing a soundbar right away.

I’ve read about its Smart TV capabilities; does the system run smoothly with various apps, or is it laggy at times?

Lastly, are there any downsides I should be aware of with this model? I appreciate any insights you can share!

The image quality is awesome, the features are on point, and you can easily share your screen from your laptop or phone. I’m totally loving it, especially for such a great price!

Awesome pic! Adding apps is super easy, no hassle at all. Just a heads up though, it doesn’t have any audio out jacks, so I had to go with the optical out to hook up my speakers or headphones.
