The proof
Performance
The smart features surprised us most. webOS on the a5 Gen 5 chip runs smooth, and having AirPlay 2 plus Miracast built in is genuinely useful for a TV this cheap. The smart score lands in the 80th percentile, which is well above what we expected from a budget panel. Picture quality is where things get rough though. Direct LED with no local dimming means blacks look gray in a dark room, and the HDR score is dead average at best. The 60Hz panel is fine for movies and sports, but gamers will feel the lack of HDMI 2.1 immediately. Audio is a weak spot too, just 2.0 channels with no subwoofer, so plan on a soundbar.

vs Competition
Against the Hisense U8 Series and TCL QM6K, the LG UQ75 gets absolutely smoked on picture quality. Those two have mini-LED backlights, real HDR performance, and higher refresh rates. But they also cost more and top out at 65 and 55 inches respectively. The Sony BRAVIA 7 is in a completely different league, but you'll pay for it. The Roku Pro Series is probably the closest real competitor, similar budget positioning but with better smart features and a simpler interface. If you want the biggest screen for the least money, the LG wins. If you want a good picture, look elsewhere.

Overview
The LG UQ75 is a big, cheap 70-inch screen that nails the basics and skips everything fancy. If you just want a huge TV for casual streaming and don't care about gaming specs or HDR fireworks, this one gets the job done. The social proof is strong too, 88th percentile, which means a lot of buyers are walking away happy.
But let's be real about what this is. It's a budget LED panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, no local dimming, and HDR support that's more of a checkbox than a feature. The a5 Gen 5 processor keeps webOS feeling snappy, but the picture quality sits in the bottom third of our database. You're buying size and simplicity, not performance.
Common Questions
Q: Is this TV good for gaming?
Not really. It's capped at 60Hz with HDMI 2.0, so no 4K at 120fps. It has ALLM and a game mode, which helps with input lag, but serious gamers should look at something with HDMI 2.1.
Q: Do I need a soundbar with this TV?
Yes, probably. The built-in 2.0 channel speakers are weak. If you're buying a 70-inch TV, you'll want audio that matches the screen size. Budget for a soundbar.
Q: Is the HDR any good on this TV?
It supports HDR10 and HLG, but without local dimming or high peak brightness, HDR content won't look dramatically different from SDR. It's more of a compatibility feature than a visual upgrade.
Who Should Skip This
Skip this if you care about picture quality, gaming, or HDR. If you're looking for deep blacks and bright highlights, go get a Hisense U8 or TCL QM6K instead. If you want 4K at 120fps for a PS5 or Xbox Series X, this isn't it. And if you're paying more than USD 500 for it, you're overpaying. This TV is for people who want the biggest screen possible for the least money and don't care about the technical stuff.
Verdict
Buy the LG UQ75 if you want a massive screen for casual viewing and can find it under USD 500. It's not a great TV by enthusiast standards, but it's a great value for what most people actually do, which is stream Netflix and watch sports. The customer reviews back this up. People love it for the size and simplicity. Just don't expect it to impress anyone who knows what local dimming is.
