Our Verdict
Samsung MU6300
Samsung M5300
The Samsung MU6300 is much better than the Samsung M5300. The MU6300 has a VA type panel (except the 43" model) and has much better dark room performance thanks to the higher contrast ratio and much better black uniformity. The Samsung M5300 has an IPS display which is better for bright room performance and has wider viewing angles. The MU6300 supports HDR and has a higher resolution 4k display as well as lower input lag for games.
