Our Verdict
Samsung RU7300
Samsung TU8000
The Samsung RU7300 and the Samsung TU8000 are very similar TVs in terms of performance. The TU8000 has much better black uniformity, response time, and a bit better reflection handling, while the RU7300 has a somewhat better input lag, peak brightness, and better gray uniformity. The real differences are in their design as the RU7300 is a curved screen TV, while the TU8000 is flat.
