LG 55″ UP7710PSB AWP TV

The LG 55″ UP7710PSB (AWP) is a 4K UHD Smart TV that was a mainstay of LG’s 2021/2022 lineup. In 2026, it is frequently found on the refurbished or secondary market as a reliable “legacy” 4K model, known for its sturdy build and the inclusion of the fan-favorite Magic Remote.

## Technical Specifications

## 2026 Analysis: Is it still relevant?

• The Magic Remote Factor: One of the biggest reasons people still hunt for this model is the Magic Remote. Unlike the basic IR remotes found on newer budget TVs (like the UQ or UR series), this one acts like a wireless mouse, allowing you to point and click on apps—a feature that remains peak convenience in 2026.

• $alpha$5 Gen4 Processor: While the processor is a few generations old now, it still handles 4K upscaling remarkably well. You might notice a slight “beat” of lag when opening heavy apps like Netflix or Disney+ compared to a 2026 model, but the actual video playback remains smooth.

• Gaming Features: It supports HGiG and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). While it doesn’t have a 120Hz refresh rate (it is 60Hz), it is a solid choice for PS5 or Xbox Series S users who play cinematic games rather than competitive shooters.

   

• Design: The “AWP” variant features a slim-bezel “Cinema Screen” design. It is slightly thicker than LG’s newer “Slim” series, but it feels more robust and less prone to “panel flex” during mounting.

   

• webOS 6.0: This model uses the full-screen webOS layout. While it doesn’t receive the “Re:New” 5-year update promise found on 2024+ models, all major streaming apps (YouTube, Prime, Netflix) are still fully supported and updated in 2026.

## Connectivity & Ports

Note that this model is “port-lean” compared to higher-end TVs:

• 2x HDMI 2.0: One supports eARC, which is essential if you want to connect a modern soundbar.

   

• 1x USB: Useful for playing local media or powering a small streaming stick.

• Optical Audio Out: For older home theater systems.
