Our Verdict

LG UJ7700

Samsung MU6100

The Samsung MU6100 and LG UJ7700 are very similar, but due to the difference in panel types, one may be better than the other depending on your needs. The UJ7700 uses an IPS panel which is better suited for a brighter room with a wide viewing angle. The MU6100 uses a VA panel which has better contrast and black uniformity, making it better suited for a dark room. The UJ7700 uses a different sub-pixel structure which may bother some people for PC use.
