Our Verdict

LG UM8070

LG UN8500

The LG UM8070 is a bit better than the LG UN8500, but the units we tested have different panels. The 82 inch UM8070 we tested has a VA panel, so the contrast is much better. It also has better color accuracy, gradient handling, and much quicker response time. However, the 65 inch UN8500 we tested has an IPS panel with fairly wide viewing angles. It also supports 4k @ 120Hz and gets only slightly brighter.
