Our Verdict
Samsung Q80/Q80R QLED
LG SM9000
The Samsung Q80/Q80R QLED is a much better TV than the LG SM9000. Thanks to its VA panel, the Q80 has much deeper blacks thank the SM9000, though this is at the expense of viewing angles, and the image on the LG will be much more accurate when viewed from an angle. Other than that, the Q80 also looks better out-of-the-box, can get much brighter, has better motion handling, and has a wider color gamut.
