LG 55NU870BPLA
The LG 55UA85006LA and LG 55NU870BPLA are 55-inch 4K smart TVs built for movies, streaming, and casual gaming. Both offer 4K resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, HDR10 support, ALLM, VRR up to 60Hz, and LG's Game Optimizer. The key differences lie in the newer Alpha 7 AI Processor Gen9, Nano LED backlight, WebOS 26, Dolby Atmos support, and updated wireless connectivity on the 55NU870BPLA. Meanwhile, the 55UA85006LA includes a bundled Magic Remote and Alexa built-in, making it a convenient choice for users who prefer voice control out of the box.
Verdict
The LG 55NU870BPLA is the stronger overall choice thanks to its newer Alpha 7 AI Processor Gen9, Nano LED display, Dolby Atmos support, WebOS 26, and Bluetooth 5.3. It delivers a more future-ready smart TV experience with improved picture processing and audio capabilities. However, the LG 55UA85006LA remains an excellent option for buyers who want a Magic Remote included and built-in Alexa without purchasing additional accessories.
