Our Verdict
LG UN7000
LG UN6950
The LG UN6950 and the LG UN7000 that we tested have different panel types, although both come in either VA or IPS panels, depending on the size. The 50 inch UN6950 has a VA panel, displaying deep blacks. It also gets brighter in SDR, it has better gradient handling, a quicker response time, and it properly displays 4k content. However, the 55 inch UN7000 we reviewed has an IPS panel that provides much wider viewing angles, and it has better out-of-the-box color accuracy.
