Our Verdict

Samsung Q60/Q60R QLED

LG SM9000

The Samsung Q60/Q60R QLED and the LG SM9000 use different panel technologies, that come with their own advantages and disadvantages. The Q60R looks better in a dark room, provided that you sit straight in front. The Q60R comes with some gaming features like FreeSync support that will please serious gamers. The LG SM8600 is a better choice if you regularly watch TV from the side, as the image remains accurate for wider angles. Also, the SM9000 can handle reflections a little better.
