LG 49UF8509 on the test

After switching on for the first time, the LG 49UF8509 receives the audience with a comic-style picture menu with animated pastel pictograms. There are a lot of buttons that seem to be triggered by movements of the slightly hectic mouse pointer.

What first confuses the untrained as a chaotic confusion turns out to be something quite familiar as a very practical way of controlling the TV. It is enough to support the controlling hand with the Magic remote remote control on the couch to tame the mouse pointer. In the picture menu, the user is more comfortable with the control cross, since the main navigation bar runs horizontally through the picture. Often called - and thus important for the user - always slip to the beginning of the pictogram line, which speeds up the operation.


Anyone who still has a problem with the handling of the LG 49UF8509, should have his bright pleasure on the smartphone app "LG TV Plus". It displays control symbols and function keys at different levels. The standard remote control also requires that you have a custom key for immediate recording.


The LG 49UF8509 itself does not send streams, but offers in the screen menu access to a lot of services. The most important ones are preinstalled. Replenish the user in the LG Content Store. There, he can choose from over 150 apps, from karaoke to games to message pages. Similar to the competition, however, some of them are paid for.


The image test of the LG 49UF8509 with only minor bruises. Its strengths lie in 3D rendering as well as 2D-to-3D conversion. The sharp IPS panel also produces precise contours and also deep contrasts thanks to local dimming. Its HEVC codec also supports 4K motifs with 60 frames per second. A little less accurate, however, he returns to SD television. Signals with poor quality such as magazine amounts fringe in the outlines somewhat out. However, "Super Resolution" can be disabled.
