Our Verdict

Samsung MU7000

Samsung MU7600

The Samsung MU7000 and the Samsung MU7600 both have very similar performance. The main difference is that the Samsung MU7600 is curved and for some people, this might be a good reason to choose it. As far as other differences, they fall into the panel variance error and not worth mentioning.
