from my understanding it released this year 2016 and so far it sounds like it meets some of my requirements. For whatever reason Sony and Samsung seem to have a thing last year against releasing 60in and you either had to get something at 55in or 65in but for me and my room a 60 inch fits perfectly.
2016's aren't out yet. That is a 65UH8500 which is a 2015 model. No specs on the 2016's though. The pic on Amazon is the same pic of the 2016 models on LG website but different model numbers.
It says hdr plus and is clearly a 2016 tv based on the model number.
2015 tvs were "UF"
2016 tvs are. "UH".
But to the OP, these lg led tvs use IPS panels which will have grayish blacks and a very bad contrast ratio. Most here prefer as deep blacks as possible.
They have it at the Best Buy near me,went to look at the Sony 930d yesterday and they had just got done seting it up. Tv is nice web os 3.0 is fast hdr10 and Dolby vision ready. Unfortunately they set it up right next to the lg Oled so the blacks looked a little washed out. But for basically 2k nice set.
How dare you mention a tv with an ips panel! All of you are banished from this forum till the end of time!
Sorry, couldn't resist. Just getting tired of all the ips bashing around here. Looking to check out the LG UH8500/7700 series myself this weekend.
What is the difference between the UH8500 and the UH7700? From the LG website, it appears as if the 8500 has 3D and the 7700 doesn't, though it's hard to tell. Any other differences?

The lack of 3D is the only difference i can see as well.
Just went to my local Best Buy and they had none of new 2016 sets out on display yet (Sony 850D,930D, LG UH8500/7700).
I suppose they are still clearing out the 2015 inventory. Lots of floor display demos marked down.
LG has on their website the UH7700 as being MORE expensive than the UH8500... In particular the 65inch versions.
They have the UH7700 listed at an MSRP of $2799 and the UH8500 listed at $2499
so odd and confusing
and then I think there is another error where they have the 86UH9500 where I'm assuming the 86 stands for size in inches but then they have a pic of a 65inch
Now I know that as humans there is always an element of honest mistakes and errors but then again it also lets me know that I'm dealing with a careless company here and I'll question the quality assurance of their products.... but that's just me and the way I think
