Our Verdict
LG SK8000
LG UK7700
The LG SK8000 and the LG UK7700 have very similar performance. The LG SK8000 can remove 24p judder from movies better than the UK7700 can and can interpolate motion to higher fps than the UK7000. Also, the black frame insertion feature of the SK800 works better than the UK7700 and can make the image crisper. The LG UK7700, on the other hand, has lower input lag both in SDR and HDR and is great for gaming.
