LG LA9700 4K Resolution Ultra HD LED TV (55 and 65-inch)

LG ELECTRONICS USA, INC. ULTRA HD TV SERIES (MODEL LA9700)

Affordable Ultra HD TVs (aka 4K TVs) are starting to flood the market this year. Following Sony’s lead earlier this year, LG announced two new 4K resolution TVs in 55-inch and 65-inch models. Aside from its 3840 x 2160 resolution and slim bezel, the LA9700 Ultra HD LED TV boasts a 4.1 channel, 50-watt sound system sound bar that slides downwards from behind the panel, and a voice-controllableMagic Remote. LG’s new flat screens will also be one of the first TVs with H.265 compatibility, which should make next-gen streaming content all the more future-proof.

Just to save you a little homework, LG’s LA9700 costs $1,000 more than Sony’s 55-inch XBR-55X900A ($4,999) and 65-inch XBR-65X900A ($6,999) 4K resolution TVs. The only real difference is LG’s design chops on the LA9700 are sleeker; Sony’s 4K TVs have the speakers affixed on the sides in an exposed way.

So, where can you buy one? For now, LG’s selling them exclusively in Santa Monica, CA’s Video & Audio Center. Hopefully, LG will get them into other stores soon.

Price: $5,999.99 (55-inch), $7,999.99 (65-inch)
