Sorry MD, but I have bust you on this one for lack of accurate & definitive information. TVs are long term purchases so as a consumer looking for a 65" TV, I need to know exactly what I'm buying here and wouldn't touch this until the correct model number is supplied. Returns will be a real pain so let's get this right first time.
Here are my concerns:
1. Neither model exists on LG's website which leads me to look to indicators..... 2. You say "Just like all 2016 TVs" without stating this (65") is or isn't a 2016 model - more uncertainty 3. It runs Web OS 3, BUT you have a footnote (2) that doesn't exist at the bottom. - Some 2015 models were IIRC touted as being updatable to WEB OS 3 but with "Lite" features - so it could feasibly be a 2015 model or - it could be a low end 2016 that doesn't run all features 4. Isn't the G series (from your description "LG 65UG6003" a 2015 model? We're at H series now (2016) - to further complicate things - you have a H series for the 49" and a G series for the 65", or both model IDs could be completely wrong.... 5. Overall I see 4k TVs discounted all the time.... we need the correct model to know whether this is a good deal
Arrgggh, yer killing me.... can you please confirm the model numbers?
Cheers (& PS Still love ya)

RaiderxThanks for this - point remains though that this should have been corrected in the description.
Assuming it is the 65UH6030, I call no go - it's $50 less at Micro Center. (albeit with tax) Strangely unavailable at many of the retailers. Seems similar to the 6150 which goes for cheap money - especially if you need to buy other stuff from Dell (Dell gift card) - think $800 if you take advantage of the card.
As others have said, it's a 60Hz panel and doesn't appear magic remote upgradeable. I'd even pass on this if it were the better 6550 model - still 60Hz. When I bought my first HD TV - a Samsung C series, I went with the fast refresh and best panel I could. Smart TV on that TV aged (and was dropped) faster than a sunbed addicted beauty, so it's the panel that counts. You can always add the smarts later avoid that part becoming obsolete. TV vendors just don't want to improve last year's SmartTV - look at mobile phones - only way you get support for any length of time is to buy a Nexus phone - which inclines me to an Android TV if that were important.

Richy_Dingoapparently Massdrop couldn't put the real model number which shouldn't be a practice Massdrop be a part of. I hope Massdrop doesn't do this again. If the Manufacture can't display it's true name of the product they shouldn't be allowed to offer a drop. Customers need to know exactly what we are purchasing. Not giving us a model number true to the TV gives us the feeling they trying to pull a fast one on the community. Especially since it was so easy to find out what it was anyway.

RaiderxI agree with you wholeheartedly. I hope Massdrop makes it their standard that they post the model number of any item which has one, of the product they are selling. Not doing so makes it appear they are trying to sell junk or do a bait and switch.
