HDR10 Pro With HDR10 Pro, the brightness level is adjusted to enhance colour and clarity in every image. Be mesmerised by how realistic your content looks. Of the cheap TVs I’ve tested recently, the LG UN70 is the set that most wears its budget price on its sleeve. The plastic build doesn’t give the best impression of durability, and with connections located at the centre of the rear panel, I’d imagine it would be slightly awkward to reach them if the TV were wall-mounted.

Percentage luminance drop at 20 degree vertical angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output Only a standard remote is supplied in the box, not the Magic Remote found on higher-end TVs. It’s a decent handset with buttons that are well spaced, including hotkeys for Netflix, Prime Video and a Movies button that opens up Rakuten TV. The main issue is responsiveness: presses can feel on the spongy side. Colours are naturally conveyed and skin tones are portrayed convincingly, too, with a distinct difference between warmer, darker and fairer complexions. The Standard preset is best for daytime TV, although it’s only slighter brighter than Eco mode. Vivid deploys bright, punchy colours, but does so at the cost of detail. With HGiG, the TV’s HDR gaming performance betters that of the Panasonic TX-50HX600. Despite its limited brightness, HDR games such as Horizon: Zero Dawn look great with good detail in the dark parts of the image. Even with non-HDR games such as Halo 5: Guardians, it puts on a colourful show. With 10ms latency and the HGiG HDR gaming profile, gaming not only looks good but is responsive, too.

As expected, the set’s 2 x 10W speakers are merely serviceable. Dialogue reproduction is the focus of the TV’s efforts, clearly presented and with decent detail. Cinema mode offers a bigger soundstage and lifts voices to greater prominence, but Standard is likely the best bet for daytime TV. I find with AI modes that the emphasis on dialogue doesn’t make for the most balanced presentation, and so its the case here.
