LG SJ8500
Samsung NU8000
If you watch TV in a dark room with seating directly in front, then the Samsung NU8000 is a better choice than the LG SJ8500. It has significantly better black uniformity and contrast that allow it to display deep blacks thus improving picture quality. The Samsung NU8000 also has better SDR peak brightness, which is good for TV shows in brighter rooms. When it comes to gaming, the Samsung NU8000 has a better response time, it incorporates the FreeSync VRR technology, and has slightly better black frame insertion (BFI) to sharpen the image. On the other hand, the LG SJ8500 has somewhat better viewing angles, suitable for wide seating and better reflection handling for those rooms with a lot of windows.
