Our Verdict

Samsung CU8000

LG UR9000

The Samsung CU8000 and the LG UR9000 each have strengths over the other. The Samsung supports a wide color gamut and has better color volume, making colors more vibrant and lifelike. The Samsung also has better contrast, so blacks are deeper on it. However, the LG has a wider viewing angle, making it the better choice for watching TV as a group, and its faster response time means there is less blur behind quick motion.
