Our Verdict

Samsung MU8000

LG SJ8500

If you've got a room with wide seating and many windows, then the LG SJ8500 is a better choice, but for a dark room with seating directly in front, then the Samsung MU8000 is better. The LG SJ8500 has better reflection handling and better viewing angles, which is good if you watch TV shows. The LG SJ8500 also has a somewhat better input lag that makes it very responsive for video games. The Samsung MU8000 has better contrast and better black uniformity that offers deep blacks when watching HDR movies in a dark room. Also, the Samsung MU8000 has a bit better SDR peak brightness and slightly better gray uniformity.
