Bottom Line
The LG UHD UQ75 Series 43” (43UQ7590PUB, 2022) offers impressive display quality and sound at a budget-friendly price, making it a strong contender for gaming and streaming. However, the lack of a voice-compatible remote and challenges with installation and mounting could be cumbersome for some. If voice control and easy installation are a priority, consider investing in the optional Magic remote and ensuring you have the right wall mounting equipment. Despite these setbacks, it remains a worthwhile purchase for its picture and audio quality alone.
