I believe you told me the UP7000/UP8000 was the replacement to the really good UM7300/UN7300. But... Are you concerned that this UP7560 may NOT be an IPS panel? I know that was a potential issue with previous models...

LG has proven unreliable when it comes to consistently including IPS panels even within the same model of lower end TV.

The LG Nano TVs include a higher end variant of IPS consistently. Other models continue to be hit and miss.

LG used to print 4K IPS on the box if it was IPS, but who knows if they do that anymore.

A 2022 55" VA TV will make an okay PC Monitor, but the steep angles of attack at that size will result in significant perceived dimming in the far edges and corners. You'll also want to sit perpendicular to the TV, dead in the middle.

I personally prefer getting IPS if I'm looking for a good value TV PC Monitor, but some prefer VA at smaller sizes like 43".

Hope that helps.

Easy enough to tell in-store, if they have a display model, anyway. Since you have to go in-store to get this price anyway, can someone say what it really is?

Also this sale is available at Best Buy in store only with the 43” being $400 and the 50 and 55” at $500.

I hope I'm wrong in 2022, on this question.
