2021 LG 86 Inch UHD 4K Smart TV Unboxing and Review (Model 86UP87) 

I've been researching for the past month. I'm sick of looking actually. Hours and hours of comparing and looking for black Friday deals going back and forth between specs n sizes. Then I found this one. I'm done looking. I chose this one for 1500. Doesn't have local dimming zones but it's at least 120hz panel. Most others this price and size are only 60hz. Plus I can brag it's an inch bigger than the 85. Also I wanted the magic remote. Hopefully it shows up in one piece and looks as good as most people have stated. I was thinking about going sony x91j or the cheaper x85j. Of course that's another 800 or so bucks.

Soo how is it???

How's it watching a movie?

​@@phuquetwo update?

It was fine. Nothing special. To be honest, it was actually too big for my living room space. Made my eyes tired from moving back and forth. I think I'll go for a smaller oled. Samsung s95c or something similar

I am a big-time movie theater advocate, but after the year we had I adapted really quick. Plus more and more movies are being made directly for certain streaming services. We have a TCL 65, but am very interested in turning my bonus room into a big time theater room. I keep going back and fourth on this LG tv and the TCL 85" Decisions, decisions!!

@@twentyoneplusvideo0472 you should go with a projector. That will be a true movie theater experience

This is going in our. Home theater

@@Beverlyhillsfinest the room is way to bright for a projector

Projectors are a whole different experience, and they are way cheaper than a tv, and can Go way bigger than a tv. So... Projectors >>>> tv

Thanks man! I must say that this TV is really impressive. Great for gaming!

Just got mine today from Costco same price still 7 months later lol how is yours still working? I was a little disappointed in the picture quality to be honest.

Watching like this 👀

Yes he is sitting less than 4 feet from it. At that distance he can not see the whole screen.

lmao no i always this close

Never too close

Agreed, 70” if not 65” would be best

@@ARU-vidChannelwithNoName Actually a 50 inch TV is the maximum size for the room. He is sitting less than 4 feet from the TV.

Watching my 86UP8000PTB from 8ft away it's amazing

Wayy too close

He's doing vr.

Thanks! I hope you get to enjoy it soon.

correct ,no contrast

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! The feet are about 14.25 inches wide. Hope that helps!

@@richiesgaminggadgetsgizmos5861 I was going to ask the same question. Glad somebody already did, and thanks for the answer.

Hello so the distance between the feet are 60.3" because I'm stuck right now trying to buy me a TV stand if you can help thanks

Where do you live, i can do it for you

@@eleventwelve4578 May God bless you and your family. Thank you so much for offering, but I’m in Australia 🇦🇺God sent someone to come and set it up for nothing, only cost was a cup of coffee ☕️You are a good person 🙏

Never mind I just bought a 71inch long TV stand with a fireplace it's perfect for it

How is the picture quality for movies and ps5

@@kelvinogbulekwauwa7629 I got it for ps5... It's great with ps5... Hdmi 2.1 and 120hz... And the TV remote auto pairs to control the ps5

The should be a "showroom" mode which is designed for dark rooms. Let me know if you have trouble finding it. Cheers.

@@richiesgaminggadgetsgizmos5861 I did not find it if there’s anyway you could help me out my brother. Thank you so much.

60.3", see earlier.

Damn. I just bought this 30 min ago for 1500. Where did u buy yours?

@@phuquetwo Conn's Electronics, Funiture and appliances

I will NEVER stop going to the movies. The theater is a classic and always going to be around. That said, when I am at my house I am DEFINITELY going to be all in on this tv lol

How do you turn on 4k?

I maybe wrong but it looks like an IKEA HEMNES, 72” wide

@@ytvandre and i think you are right. thank you my bro.

what’s the distance from the legs across

@@ytvandre Yes it is. We have that for our TV we purchased from Ikea over 10 years ago, and they still sell it. It is solid wood.

@@dereck34512 60.3" (Stand width)

Thanks for letting me know. Will keep that in mind when I make future videos. Thanks for the thumbs up!

I'm at 1/3 the volume on my Tablet. Your Laptop must be 🗑

Try another brand then, like Samsung

You will love it! Great for streaming services and gaming :-)

IKEA - Checkout my stand review here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Rupxo3qFzw.html

First thing to look at when buying a TV is the size you want then go from there because if you buy a smaller one with a lot more features then you’ll always have that thought in the back of your head

@@OfficialHiddentest yes i thought about that an did some more research. Came up on the Hisense U7G 75inch. So im going to give that a shot an see how it goes.

@@MarvinoTech I personally got 2 defective LG OLEDS in my first week of ownership. I switched to the 65" Sony A80J OLED and get it Tuesday. The picture quality on the Sony was noticeably better.

No bleed at all

@@user-pn2rf2ix4mhow is your A80J holding up ?

Every such TV has...

It looks like the IKEA tv stand in the name HEMNES

I also would like to see these parts!

It is from IKEA.

lol I was thinking the same thing

@@bigdog533 i have a 65 inch tv and i dont even sit that close to it. To each his own i guess

Same thoughts, maybe it just seems like that on camera

😭😭😭😭😭

About 8.5 feet

Obviously, it's the same TV, but bigger

@@bryanmiranda1745 no. I think the 82 inch is va panel and 86 inch is ips panel

@@Beverlyhillsfinest the 50",60",and 70" of the UP8000 series use VA panels,all the others in the series including the 82" and 86" use IPS, the two larger ones are also the only two in the series with navite 120hz panels

@@bryanmiranda1745 ok thx for claring it up about the 120 i why wondering why the other tvs didnt have 120hz. Its wierd how the made a 82 in since its so close to the 85 in. I wouod imagine they look almost identical in size

@@Beverlyhillsfinest it's definitely odd but the price difference in the SKUs makes it so someone who can't afford the larger one doesn't have to step down too far, that's why a series of TV's regardless of brand usually has anywhere from as little as 5 versions to as many as 20, the regular price for the 86" has come down to around $1750 but right now it's on black Friday nsale for $1500 which is the same price as the 82" so it doesn't make sense to buy the 82, but when they're not on sale it's definitely fine to save $250+ and get the 82" for an almost identical experience

Thanks.

I don’t even sit that close from my 55 inch. This guy is mad lol

Especially if it’s 4K lol, sitting right up close to it will make it look like any other TV lol

I was wondering about that ... It's a beautiful set up can't deny that. How close are you from the tv? Don't you get headaches or dizziness? I want one but my living room size would give me about 10 feet away from tv to couch

Now that you've had it for a while, do you recommend it?

​​@@MultiToopy I've owned mine since it came out and it's absolutely phenomenal FOR THE PRICE. If your budget is big then there are better TVs out there but if you're looking for something huge and still beautiful with an amazing interface and ease of use you can't go wrong. Gaming, Netflix are just 👌. The only thing I would say is get a decent soundbar to compliment it aswell, the TV itself has good speakers but for the size you need a decent surround sound system to compliment it. Also don't be fooled with the "newer" LG models of the same size with the same price point like the UQ90 because this still is a better TV as a whole regardless of being one generation processor older, it's still super fast and a big head turner when guests are over! Oh and I know there's the whole edge lit discussion etc. But once you have this bad boy set up in your home and chuck on a 4K Ultra HD movie or game alongside a good sound system it's mind blowing. I still sit back and smile sometimes at just how big and crisp it is. Enjoy 🍻

@@lukeslayer that's awesome to hear! I'm not very picky when it comes to picture - I don't expect state of the art at this price point so this sounds perfect from what you're saying. Also glad to hear the interface is nice - I hate janky software that some companies throw on to 'help' you. Thanks for the info!

60.3 " see earlier.

I agree. I sit about 8 feet from my 65 inch.

So what about VR headsets? They're screens literally an inch from your eyes.

@@ryansheridan8995 A million times worse !!!

So we should never look at a computer screen?

🤣🤣🤣🤣facts i thought i was trippin when i saw family sitting mad close to that big tv lmao 😂 u need a bigger room beloved

It is about just over 60 inches. 60.13 inches to be exact.

No issues to date. The metallic feet are very strong. Just ensure that the table top is designed to hold TVs of this size...

Yet they tell you in the box to set it up like that to put the legs. I have this tv too.

LoL...I am a lazy person, but "yes" you are right!

If you press the back button on the remote (button has a little arrow pointing to the left) that should get you out of the app....

@@richiesgaminggadgetsgizmos5861 okay i thought maybe it had a way you could close the apps like my LG 70 AI thin Q could do i close the apps on it

@@richiesgaminggadgetsgizmos5861 thank you

Samsung is usually better...am thinking of getting one myself today.

To be honest I think that both LG and Samsung are about the same in quality. That being said that is only my personal opinion :-)

About 71.5 inches long, just over 18 inches deep and about 21.5 inches high. I also have a review video on that stand as well in my video library.

Yes 5:40 120Hz=2.1 HDMI. You may have figured that out by now, though.

Do you mean the feature where you can move the pointer one the screen using the remote? Disable that feature?

@@richiesgaminggadgetsgizmos5861 yeah disable the pointer

thanks mom

Yeah, you need to be at least 5-6 feet

mind your own business mom!

Nope, not at all I would love every minute of it...lol Like a movie theater in your home.

Hahaha current distance only allows him to see 25-30% of the panel. Sitting that close essentially the equivalent of a 32" display

They were bought a long time ago when i bought my first Samsung TV in the 2010s...it was a Samsung surround sound system (Dolby 5.1)

May be you are rigth, but I am especially interested in taking it out of the box and put it on a table alone, because I am also ALONE.

@@laszlodudas7313 but I mean showing us how to fit the batteries and cable management lol.

I suppose it depends on the program source.

What speed internet do you have? Are you making sure the RU-vid videos are streaming the best quality? This crap keeps choosing sh++ resolutions for videos, even if the video has a 1440p, or 2160p option, like this video! It is set to "higher picture quality";yet, selects 720p!!!

Why? The closer you are the more immersive.

@@clabeauxdave8709 No!!! Immerseive does not mean you can not see the entire screen. Immerseive is having a large screen that you can see 100% of. The Immersion comes from the scale of the screen size not from only seeing 50% of the screen. He can not even see 50% of the screen. For the room size he is in the maximum size TV is 50 inches. He totally wasted his money putting an 86 inch TV in a room that small.

@@JesusSavesSinners I disagree. I have the exact same TV. The closer you sit, the more immersive it is. The more your vision is consumed by a screen, the more immersive it is. Think VR goggles.

@@clabeauxdave8709 Insane. You are not seeing half of the screen.

@@JesusSavesSinners Exactly. Total immersion. You need to move your head and eyes around to see everything, just like in real life. Not sure how that makes me insane though ; )
