Our Verdict

Samsung TU690T

LG UR8000

The LG UR8000 is better than the Samsung TU690T. The LG gets a bit brighter, so it can handle more glare in a bright room, and HDR looks a bit more vivid and realistic than it does on the Samsung. The LG also has better image processing, so low-quality content looks much better. The 86-inch version of the LG is significantly better, as it supports advanced gaming features like VRR and a 120Hz refresh rate.
