Our Verdict
LG CX OLED
LG UN7300
The LG CX OLED is significantly better than the LG UN7300. The CX is an OLED that can produce perfect blacks, it has near-instantaneous response time, and a 120Hz refresh rate with VRR support. It also has better color accuracy, higher peak brightness, and wider viewing angles. However, input lag is lower on the UN7300.
