Question LG 50UF830V opinions

[NigelC]

Interested in a new telly around the 48"-50" size range as a replacement for an aging Panasonic Plasma 37PX70.
Have see the LG 49UF770V and also the LG 50UF830V. Problem is I can't seem to find any real world details / reviews online for the 50UF830V. This is marketed as a 2015 model but it is unclear how new this actually is.
Any recommendations or advice greatly appreciated.

I am not getting a warm feeling about this model due to a distinct lack of info. Since writing I have determined that this TV does not have an IPS panel display. This does appear to be going against the norm. Guess I should forget this model and look for an alternative.

The LG 50UF830V is a nice TV. Is part of the "Colour Prime" series. Is HDR compatible. If you want more info, try to search this UF8300.

Did you have the opportunity to compare it to other tvs?

Thank you for your input. I originally posted this back in Nov when details were very sketchy. I agree this is a good looking set but still not sure how it stacks up against the competition at this price point. A Costco purchase should be quite safe as their returns policy is excellent. However, I wanted a new toy in time for Christmas and ended up buying a 50" Samsung 4K instead.
