Quick Facts
- Poland: consumer goods carry a 2‑year statutory seller liability; retailer “extended warranties” are optional add-ons. [UOKiK, 2023]
- LG UK-series budget models use IPS; some use RGBW subpixel structure, so “not full 4K” on patterns. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, #17526708]

Is the LG 43UK6300/6400 a good budget 4K choice?
Yes, as an everyday TV the UK6300/UK6400 deliver solid value. They use IPS panels with wide viewing angles. A known trade-off is the RGBW subpixel layout, which reduces fine 4K detail on patterns. As one expert put it, "These LGs are quite good, cheap IPS." If you watch varied content and want webOS simplicity, they’re easy to live with. Gamers and pixel‑peepers may notice weaker contrast and sharpness versus true RGB 4K sets. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, #17526708]
Does Neonet include a 2‑year warranty on this LG TV?
Yes. In Poland, consumer goods carry a 2‑year statutory seller liability (rękojmia), regardless of brand. This runs alongside any manufacturer warranty, which on TVs is commonly 24 months. Retailers like Neonet may also sell extended plans; read terms for coverage and exclusions. Keep your receipt, and claim faulty goods with the seller first during the two years. The seller cannot limit your statutory rights in paid add‑ons. [UOKiK, 2023]
What’s the real difference between LG 43UK6300, 43UK6400, and 43UK6470?
Between 43UK6300 and 43UK6400, differences are mainly cosmetic and trim. Expect similar panel and core features. The 43UK6470 is a variant that can drop the analog tuner, which matters if you still use RF sources. The original poster compared retail listings and found the rest largely cosmetic. Treat each retailer code carefully; accessories and small features can vary by region. Always confirm tuner types, remote model, and recording support before paying. [Elektroda, McLlovin, post #17526301]
Does the LG 43UK6400 actually run webOS 4.0?
Some store listings omit the exact webOS version. The OP even rejected a 43UK6400 listing for not showing "webOS 4.0." Verify on the official product page or the on‑set Settings menu before purchase. If the listing is unclear, ask the retailer to confirm in writing. [Elektroda, McLlovin, post #17526301]
How many HDMI inputs does the LG 43UK6300 have?
The 43-inch UK6300 provides 3 HDMI inputs and 2 USB ports. You also get ARC support on one HDMI for soundbars. The panel runs at 60 Hz, which suits movies and console gaming up to 60 fps. Use HDMI 1 or 2 for consoles to reduce input lag. [RTINGS, 2018]
How many HDMI ports does the Thomson 43UD64 have?
Confirm on the product page or ask the store to send a photo of the back panel. The original buyer required three HDMI ports and requested a link to verify. Retailer listings can differ by sub‑version, so do not assume. Get the count in writing if it matters for consoles and set‑top boxes. [Elektroda, McLlovin, post #17526467]
Can I use Kodi for free movies on these TVs?
Kodi runs natively on Android TV, so the Thomson 43UD64 can install it from the Play Store. Kodi is not available in LG’s webOS app store. If you need Kodi plugins, choose an Android TV model or add an external box. Use only legal add‑ons and sources. [Kodi Wiki, 2023]
What does “RGBW, not full 4K” mean for LG UK models?
Some budget LGs use an RGBW subpixel pattern instead of true RGB. This adds white subpixels, which can soften fine 4K detail in test patterns and text. One expert noted that with RGBW, "it is not full 4K." For movies and TV it’s usually acceptable, but chart clarity and PC use may look less crisp. If you need razor‑sharp UHD for close PC work, consider an RGB panel alternative. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, #17526708]
Are bezels really thicker on inexpensive LG TVs?
Budget LG designs often use thicker bezels than premium lines. Some buyers dislike the look, while others find them sturdier. If bezel size matters for your setup, check the model in person or confirm the frame dimensions. Wall mounts can also change perceived bulk compared with desktop feet. [Elektroda, adse, post #17527153]
Is HDR worthwhile on the LG 43UK6300?
HDR formats are supported, but impact is modest due to limited contrast and brightness. Expect correct HDR10/HLG playback, yet highlights lack punch. The 60 Hz IPS panel favors viewing angles over deep blacks. For bright, dramatic HDR, step up to higher‑tier sets. Calibrating and using dim rooms helps perceived contrast. [RTINGS, 2018]
How do I verify webOS version, HDMI count, and tuner support before buying?
- Open the official product page and note Software (webOS version), Inputs (HDMI/USB), and Tuners.
- Ask the retailer to confirm these in writing and send back‑panel photos if listings differ.
- In store, enter Settings > General > About This TV to confirm firmware and webOS, then check Live TV > Channel Tuning for tuner types.

I need USB recording (PVR) and HDR. Should I go LG or Android TV?
Check the spec sheet carefully. The OP rejected some Samsung models for lacking USB recording and a Philips for missing HDR. LG UK models typically include HDR formats, but PVR availability varies by region and firmware. Android TV sets like the Thomson 43UD64 offer broader app support, plus Kodi. Decide which is more important for you, then verify those features on the exact SKU. [Elektroda, McLlovin, post #17526301]
Is the Thomson 43UD64 really a better value than LG here?
For app flexibility and price, yes, according to one expert. At PLN 1,499 with Android 8.0, voice control, and Kodi support, it offers strong value. If you prioritize webOS simplicity, LG’s interface and brand ecosystem may suit better. Compare hands‑on performance, inputs, and your app needs before deciding. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17526428]
Did the buyer end up happy with the LG 43UK6400?
Yes. The original poster purchased the LG 43UK6400 and reported, "for me great." That reflects satisfaction with everyday performance and features at this price tier. Individual priorities differ, so confirm your must‑have features before replicating the choice. [Elektroda, McLlovin, post #17557626]
