Our Verdict

LG UQ7590 [UQ75, UQ7570]

Samsung CU7000/CU7000D

The Samsung CU7000/CU7000D is much better than the LG UQ7590. The Samsung has a much higher contrast ratio and better black uniformity, making it a significantly better choice for a dark room, as dark scenes look much better. The Samsung also gets brighter, so it can handle glare a bit better if you're in a room with lots of windows or bright lights.
