Our Verdict

Samsung RU8000

LG UM7300

The Samsung RU8000 and the LG UM7300 use different panel technologies, each with advantages and disadvantages. The Samsung is better-suited for dark room viewing thanks to the high contrast ratio of its VA panel, and it has extra gaming features like VRR support. The Samsung also has a faster response time and delivers crisper motion. The LG, on the other hand, is better suited for a larger room with wide seating arrangements as the image remains accurate when viewed at an angle.
