Our Verdict

LG UQ7590 [UQ75, UQ7570]

Samsung CU8000

The Samsung CU8000 is a bit better than the LG UQ7590. The Samsung has vastly superior contrast; the contrast ratio on the LG is extremely poor, leading to an unpleasant viewing experience in dark rooms. The Samsung is also better when watching SDR content in bright rooms due to its higher SDR peak brightness. The Samsung model is the most colorful of the two TVs, so content looks more vibrant when watched on it. The LG does have a much wider viewing angle, so it's the better option for those wanting to host large parties as the image doesn't fade nearly as much when viewed from the side, and it's the more accurate TV of the two.
