Our Verdict
LG UM7300
LG UM6900
The LG UM7300 is much better than the LG UM6900. The UM7300 is much brighter, has better black uniformity, and better reflection handling. The UM7300 uses an RGB IPS panel, whereas the UM6900 uses a less-accurate RGBW pixel structure. The UM7300 also comes with a more advanced remote and has voice control capabilities.
