LG's compact, affordable 49" 49SK8000PUA combines 4K picture detail with the enhanced contrast and color of HDR (High Dynamic Range), to deliver a picture that will keep you watching.
For 2018, LG took the video processing technology that has been powering their acclaimed OLED TVs, and added it to LCD models like the 49SK8000PUA. It improves picture depth and color accuracy.
This TV's brightness and contrast limitations mean that HDR content won't wow you like it can on more advanced models, but you'll notice some extra visual pop. The 49SK8000PUA supports the two most common HDR formats: HDR10 and Dolby Vision™.
HDR10 is a static system which establishes the contrast settings at the beginning of a movie or TV show and maintains them. Dolby Vision is a dynamic system that can adjust brightness in response to the video signal on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis.
If you frequently watch TV with friends or family, you'll want a TV with good off-axis viewing. And if you can't justify the expense of one of LG's OLED TVs, the next best thing is LG's IPS panel technology. It keeps picture contrast and color looking crisp even for viewers seated around to the sides of the screen. The trade-off is picture contrast and black levels that aren't quite top-notch. That just means the 49SK8000PUA is best enjoyed with at least some room lights on.
The 49SK8000PUA's built-in web apps give you instant access to a nearly limitless selection of entertainment including streamed video from services like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. LG's AI ThinQ® intelligent voice control can process hundreds of voice commands. Just speak directly into the Magic Remote's mic to operate the TV as well as a variety of compatible smart devices. This TV is also compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa voice control assistants.
LG's motion-sensing Magic Remote is simple and fun to use. You can point, click, scroll and even speak into the remote to find exactly what you want, searching across apps, movies, TV shows and the web, all at the same time.

Love this TV! The picture is awesome. Even more importantly, I highly recommend Crutchfield. They were there to talk me through the set up when I needed them!
Pros:
Cons:
I really like my new tv once I found the energy saving setting in the settings mode under picture. My tv was not bright enough with it set to the factory setting of Auto. So i reset it to the minimum energy setting and the tv looked great. I love the audio on this tv is sounds awesome with the adaptive sound control turned on. All and all it is proving to be an excellent buy at cyber monday savings. Yes Crutchfield took the price down a hundred dollars for cyber monday and i got the tv for a total of 400 dollars off the list price. That is still 150 less than i paid for my 50 inch LG Plasma six years ago.
Pros: First time setup was easy, sound is awesome for a TV due to Adaptive Control feature
Cons: Took a little time to dial in the tv picture to be as bright as my LG Plasma. Sanus tv mount barley fit without seeing it from the couch
LG products are great. Our third new TV in last two years and very happy with Crutchfield help and pricing!!
Pros: Setup is easy!
Cons: None!
Returned the Sony 43X800E, too costly for the size and mediocre picture. This LG 49 supplants an earlier 4K 43inch LG, now in another room. Excellent picture, easy navigation. As always, no hassle return, Crutchfield's staff puts customer satisfaction first.
Pros: Easy setup, great picture.
Cons: None
Had a big concern with side seat viewing. Not sure what to buy, led me to go with this TV, a Crutchfield suggestion and I couldn't be happier.
Pros: Great side seat viewing.
Cons: Have it on a console and the stand is a little larger than I expected.
Excellent TV. Bought fir wife who is blind and the voice guidebce feature works great
Pros:
Cons:
The picture is fantastic! Even regular HD programing is noticeably sharper. The AI upgrading is as promised! Sound is clear and dialogue easily understandable. The assembly drawings could be a bit larger to be clear, but once I figured out the base assembly, was easy to set up. Like the design & weight on the unit, but the great picture is the main story!
Pros: picture & sound
Cons:
The picture and sound are great and very easy to set up. This is a great size, we love it... Also the very best place to but with the best help and advice. Thanks Crutchfield..
Pros: Great picture and sound...
Cons: none
Luckily I called Crutchfield and discussed where I wanted the TV in the master bedroom. I was looking at another brand I was familiar with but decided that the LG being cheaper in price, had the same features as the other brand and trusting the advisor I went with the LG.... besides they have never pointed me in the wrong direction. The TV's picture is excellent and the sound is awesome! Usually the speakers on thin TV's lack volume, but LG really did a great job with room filling full sound with this design. Every angle looks great and the added google assistant comes in very handy.
Pros: Picture Remote control - easy netflix/amazon Google Assistant
Cons: I might replace all my other TV's with LG's eventually

Nano Cell Display Technology: LG's Nano Cell technology is a breakthrough in display technology that advances the LCD TV viewing experience by combining an expanded color gamut with the ability to more accurately create those colors, resulting in superior picture quality regardless of viewing angle. Nano Cell Technology uses nano particles that absorb unwanted light wavelengths and enhances the purity of the red and green colors displayed on the screen. The result is dramatic, enhanced picture quality at wider viewing angles to give you an incredible cinematic experience.
α (Alpha) 7 Intelligent Processor: The LG Super UHD TV is powered by LG's powerful α (Alpha) 7 Intelligent Processor for superior picture quality. The α (Alpha) 7 Intelligent Processor offers a host of technological advantages including deeper blacks, enhanced image rendering, improved shadow details, and accurate color from wide viewing angles.
IPS Panel: LG's IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel makes any seat the best in the house, with a clearer and more consistent image at wide viewing angles compared to conventional screens. IPS delivers authentic colors, virtually identical to the original image. Witness colors as true-to-life as nature intended, vibrant across even a large screen, with the stunning clarity of 4K resolution.
TruMotion 120Hz: The Super UHD TV employs LG's proprietary TruMotion 120Hz backlight scanning system to enhance the TV's 60Hz native panel refresh rate to reduce blur and yield crisper details; even during the most high-action sequences - from sports to action movies. You can select between 4 TruMotion modes - Off, Smooth (softens fast-moving pictures), Clear (makes fast-moving pictures clearer), or User (manually adjusts judder / blur / motion).
4K Cinema HDR w/ Enhanced Dynamic Tone Mapping: LG's 4K Cinema HDR supports a variety of HDR formats - including Dolby Vision, Advanced HDR by Technicolor, as well as Active HDR10 & HLG. Thanks to the TV's Active HDR technology with Enhanced Dynamic Tone Mapping and SDR-to-HDR Effect, both HDR and SDR video content is optimized with the correct amount of brightness and contrast, so all types of HDR & SDR content can be displayed beautifully. HDR (High Dynamic Range video) reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, bringing greater contrast & wider color spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. Previously hidden areas of dark shadow and sunlight are now full of clarity and detail.
Ultra HD 4K Resolution w/ Upscaler: The LG Super UHD TV has a display resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 (4K) and will display all video at that resolution through its built-in upscaler, regardless of input signal. 4K provides four times higher resolution than current 1080p high-definition TVs with a total of 8.3 million pixels. Its detail is so vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a single pixel, even from inches away. Enjoy incredibly flawless images, vivid colors, and picture details as never before. More benefits of Ultra-HD 4K include:
Video Inputs: The LG UHD television features HDMI 2.0b and Composite video inputs. All of the television's video inputs are displayed at 3,840 x 2,160 (4K).
Picture Settings: The LG Super UHD TV provides preset, user, and expert adjustment of the television's picture settings.
Live Zoom: LG's Live Zoom allows you to zoom in or zoom out on a portion of a video while it's being played to make the desired section appear larger or smaller. Live Zoom is only available on the the TV's over-the-air tuner and HDMI inputs.
Built-in OTA Tuner: The LG TV features a built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Clear QAM tuner, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals (up to 1080i); subscription still required to receive cable channels. A single RF-type coaxial input is use to connect an external indoor/outdoor antenna (sold separately).
Dolby Atmos Support: This LG Super UHD TV currently supports Dolby Atmos playback via Dolby Digital Plus through Internet streaming apps (like Netflix & Vudu), over-the-air/cable broadcast, and USB. Dolby Atmos playback delivered via Dolby TrueHD through Blu-ray & Ultra HD Blu-ray is also supported over a non-ARC HDMI input.
Magic Sound Tuning: With the Magic Sound Tuning feature, you can detect the space where your TV is installed using your Magic Remote's microphone to optimize the audio of your TV for your environment. When the initial detection is complete, you can select your desired audio mode.
Ultra-Surround Sound + Equalizer: Ultra Surround delivers an immersive audio experience from seven virtual channels, requiring only the two built-in speakers of the TV. The TV also provides preset EQ modes. Choose from Smart Sound, Standard, Clear Voice III, Cinema, Sports, Music, or Game. In addition, you can adjust the TV's sound manually by using the 5-band EQ (100Hz, 300Hz, 1khz, 3khz, 10kHz). Clear Voice III automatically detects human voices in movies and TV shows, then increases their volume to ensure that the dialog doesn't get lost in the soundtrack. You can make the voice clearer by adjusting to one of the three clarity levels.
Sound Controls: Adaptive Sound Control automatically optimizes sound based on the type of content. You can also set the TV's volume to automatically adjust for different broadcasting stations, so you can always listen to channels at the desired volume, even after switching the channels. In addition, if the video and sound of the television are not synced, you can adjust the delay of the audio output to match the video. All three of these features are only available when using the TV's internal speakers.
ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel of the TV's HDMI 2 input enables the television, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to your AV receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your AV receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input.
Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an AV receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 2 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary.
Digital Audio Output: The optical digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital/DTS (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital/DTS when receiving Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the tuner, network apps, HDMI inputs, and USB ports on the TV. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via stereo RCA.
Note: You can choose to turn the television speakers off or leave them on with the TV's optical digital output active.
Bluetooth Audio Streaming (LG Sound Sync): Thanks to the TV's LG Sound Sync and built-in Bluetooth 4.2, you can pair a single set of Bluetooth headphones, one Bluetooth speaker, or a pair of Bluetooth speakers with the LG Super UHD TV. You are able to stream audio from any of the TV's built-in sources or connected sources. The TV's built-in speakers and audio outputs will be deactivated when streaming audio to Bluetooth headphones or speaker. The Bluetooth audio output's volume is variable, so volume of your Bluetooth speaker will need to be controlled by both the TV and the Bluetooth speaker for adequate volume level. You can also wirelessly connect a Bluetooth source device (such as your smartphone or tablet) to play audio from your Bluetooth source device through the TV's speakers.
Note: Not guaranteed to be compatible with all Bluetooth devices.
Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The LG Super UHD TV supports a wired or wireless network connection via its Ethernet jack or built-in WiFi. Via the TV's network connection and your internet provider, you can enjoy select online entertainment services. You can also access music, video, and still-image files stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. It even supports WiFi Direct, so you link wirelessly to a WiFi device without a router.
Note: LG recommends a home network connection speed of at least 2.5 Mbps recommended for standard definition, 10 Mbps for high definition, and 20 Mbps for ultra-high definition.
LG Content Store: LG Content Store allows you to access a variety of online entertainment services and content directly on the LG TV through its network connection and your internet provider.

Click here for the latest compatible apps (subscriptions & fees may apply for some online services and content). Below is a list of some of the most popular apps from LG Smart TV Apps.
Note: 4K & HDR network streaming requires a network speed of 20Mbps or greater. A wired Ethernet connection is recommended over a wireless WiFi connection for better performance. If you desire a WiFi connection, then use a dual-band Gigabit wireless-N router or better for 4K/HDR streaming.
DLNA + Plex Content Sharing: DLNA & Plex compatibility lets you stream select video, photo, and audio files stored on your computer to the LG TV over your home's WiFi network. DLNA is supported by Windows (7, 8, 8.1, or 10) and other DLNA network devices and servers. You will also need to download the SmartShare software on your compatible Windows PC. Plex Media Server software is supported by Windows (7, 8, 8.1, or 10) and Mac (OSX 10.9 or newer).
Screen Sharing via Miracast: Miracast is a "screen mirroring" function which lets you wirelessly send the display from your compatible Windows 8.1+ or Android 4.2+ device (with support for Miracast) to the LG TV. This allows you to view practically any content that is playing on your compatible Windows or Android device on your TV screen; no wireless router or access point required.
Dual USB Ports: The television features two USB (type-A) 2.0 ports for playback of video, still image, and music files stored on a connected USB memory device.
