Our Verdict
Samsung MU6300
LG UK6300
If you've got a large room with wide seating, then the LG UK6300 is a better choice, but for a room with seating directly in front, then the Samsung MU6300 is better. The LG UK6300, apart from the better viewing angles, has a lower input lag and a faster response time that is great for gamers. It can handle reflections better, which is great if you have a room with many small windows. The Samsung MU6300 has better blacks due to higher native contrast ratio and better black uniformity. Finally, the Samsung MU6300 can get brighter and can fight ambient glare better.
