Our Verdict

Sony X800G

LG UM7300

The LG UM7300 is somewhat better than the Sony X800G. The LG can handle reflections better, which is great if your room has a lot of lights. The LG also has an extremely low input lag that's great for gaming. The Sony, on the other hand, is flicker-free, which might be important to some people.
