I have the lg 55ub8200 the 8300 is the 3d model, and does full 1080p passive 3d.  Now, I really do try to avoid the "defending my purchase" bias trap here.First off this is a 55" 4K for 1299$ to 1499$ range.  I'm moving from a 50" 720p plasma screen that I honestly loved.  I officially don't,  and have never cared about pure black levels so moving to an edge lit led (albeit with somewhat functional local dimming) was not an issue.  There is some light bleed during scenes that are mostly black with white in them (think credits).  The input lag is measured at 53ms.  This might be an issue for some.  I haven't given much time in TPA but what little I had I didn't feel like my play was affected.One game that does require low input lag is Super Smash Bros for Wii U. And I don't notice the lag, but I'm the farthest thing from a competitive player you could ever find.The TV upscales everything to its native 2160p and does a wonderful job.  HD netflix looks great.  4K shows on Netflix look great running through the tv's pre-installed app.  Uncompressed BluRay movies look great ( I usually run bluray iso files through my laptop which negates that soap opera effect).The built in YouTube app is garbage and doesn't stream higher than 720p.  I am rather upset about this since there is in fact a lot of 4k content on YouTube, even if not professional productions.  YouTube usually has very restrictive bit rate limits for video based on resolution anyway so basically native 1080p videos should really be watched at 720p and the 4k stuff looks nighty nice in 1080p though anything lacking much motion looks great.  I used a video Downloader and stuck them on a hard drive to play through usb to get around the youtube app limit.I downloaded some uncompressed 4k demo videos and they are gorgeous.  My biggest complaint about LCD/led screens are that smeary loss of resolution due to motion.  Honestly it is there, but I really have to be looking for it.  If I'm just watching it's quite nice.The Smart TV features on this are weak overall.  If extensive smart tv features are extremely important to you then you will want to check out other options.  If 3d is very important, you will want to look at the ub8300 instead.For the price, it does get my recommendation.  It has full HDMI 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 support so should be future proof.  It also supports hvec h.265 encoding, however, I don't think I've managed to successfully play any vp9 (youtube 4k encoding, not the pinball software) files.</blockquote>
