    Hi,

    I'm looking at an LG 43" 4k TV..

    I'm comparing these 2 units

    Is the only key difference here the ability to support Freesat on the more expensive unit?

    Obviously if you have a better suggestion in a similar price range , I'm open to persuasion..

    EDIT - Just another question , is the cheaper model the 43UH603V?

    Thanks again..

    Quin,

    Yep the unnamed 43" on the site is a 43UH603 - good detective work ;)

    the main differences between the 603 and the 661 series are:

    661 is Direct lit - 603 is edge lit

    661 Series have 2 USB - 603 only has a single USB

    603 has a free to air satellite tuner whilst 661 series also has a free to air sat tuner but the excellent Freesat HD EPG as well

    the LG 43UH603 is a stonker of a buy at just £369 / €469!

    thanks again and keep me posted if we can assist,

    Thanks John,

    So for the 603 - The specs talk about Magic Zoom support etc. but reading the LG site it seems to suggest that you don't get the Magic Remote with that TV.

    Does that mean you can only use those features via the phone app?

    In terms of Edge vs. Direct lit , as someone coming from a 9 year old LG 32" HD screen would I really notice the difference? (e.g. Is the €100 worth it as the other feature differences aren't things I'd especially value)

    Cheers
