We tested the 65 inch LG UN8500 (65UN8500PUI) and we expect the results to be valid for the 75 inch (75UN8570PUC) and 86 inch (86UN8570PUC) models too. The 82 inch model (82UN8570PUC) has a VA panel, which we expect to have a better contrast ratio and narrower viewing angles. You can see the differences below.
Size | Panel | US | Canada | Europe |
65″ |
IPS | 65UN8500PUI | 65UN8500AUJ | 65UN85006LA |
75″ | IPS | 75UN8570PUC | 75UN8570AUD | 75UN85006LA |
82″ | VA | 82UN8570PUC | 82UN8570AUD | 82UN85006LA |
86″ | IPS | 86UN8570PUC | 86UN8570AUD | 86UN85006LA |
If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their LG UN8500 doesn’t correspond to our review, let us know and we’ll update the review. Note that some tests, such as gray uniformity and contrast, may vary between individual units.
The unit we reviewed was manufactured in August 2020 and you can see the label here.
