Our Verdict

Samsung NU8000

LG UK6300

These two TVs have different panel types. For a room with a wide seating arrangement, the LG UK6300 might be a better choice if you'll often be watching TV from the side. However, the Samsung NU8000 is a much better choice if you'll be watching from straight in front. It can get much brighter to fight glare and can also display deeper blacks thanks to its high native contrast ratio. The NU8000 has better gray uniformity and faster response time which makes it great for watching sports. Finally, the NU8000 has FreeSync support and low input lag with motion interpolation, which is great if you are a gamer.
