Our Verdict
Samsung RU7300
Samsung NU8000
The Samsung NU8000 is much better than the Samsung RU7300. The NU8000 can get brighter and can handle bright room reflections better. The NU8000 also delivers a better dark room performance thanks to its local dimming feature, and motion looks crisper on the NU8000 due to the faster response time. The Samsung RU7300 is a curved TV that delivers a little lower input lag, which matters for video games.
