Our Verdict
Samsung DU8000
LG UT8000
The LG UT8000 is a bit better than the Samsung DU8000, but it's close. The Samsung is the more colorful TV of the two, and has HDR10+ support, but the LG is slightly brighter, is generally more accurate, and has better contrast. Ultimately, the two TVs are similar enough that you should get the cheapest one you can find.
