The LG NANO75 typically costs more but offers better sports content viewing, a wider viewing angle, better reflection handling, and superior colors out of the box. It also performs slightly better for cartoons and animation. However, it struggles more in dark rooms than the Samsung CU7000. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 is generally less expensive and performs better in dark rooms. It has higher contrast and comes with a few more smart features, like voice commands and support for HDR10+. The Samsung is also slightly better for gaming. If you watch a lot of sports or shows in brighter rooms, and value wider viewing angles and vibrant colors, the LG NANO75 would be preferable. On the other hand, if you're looking for better performance in darker environments, are a frequent gamer, and want to save some money while still having a good TV experience, the Samsung CU7000 might be the better choice.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Samsung CU7000 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG NANO75 has a good reflections handling and wide viewing angles which are beneficial for sports watching in a room with multiple viewers. However, it has only fair response time and motion processing, and lower gray uniformity, which can be drawbacks for fast-paced sports action. The Samsung CU7000, on the other hand, has poor reflections handling and a more limited viewing angle but offers better gray uniformity; unfortunately, it also shares the fair response time and motion processing, similarly affecting viewing clarity during fast movements.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung CU7000 (LCD) to be only fair for gaming, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 has a "fair" response time and the best input lag, which makes it less suited for fast-paced gaming that requires quick screen transitions. On the other hand, the Samsung CU7000 also has a "fair" response time but a "very good" input lag, offering a slightly better experience for reactive gaming despite the similarly average response time.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Samsung CU7000 (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The LG NANO75 and Samsung CU7000 both have subpar color performance important for cartoons and animation, with the LG having just fair color gamut and poor color volume, while the Samsung has poor scores in both, leading to less vibrant and accurate colors. Additionally, the Samsung's gray uniformity is on par with LG's, but its better contrast may not compensate for the overall inferior color reproduction when watching animated content.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Samsung CU7000 (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The LG NANO75 is fair for watching news and TV programs, with good upscaling and colors out of the box, making standard content appear clear and vibrant; however, it has a fair color gamut. Meanwhile, the Samsung CU7000 also offers fair performance for the same content, with decent upscaling and a somewhat better contrast, but it falls short with poorer colors out of the box and a similar color gamut limitation.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Samsung CU7000 (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The LG NANO75 struggles in bright rooms mainly due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness and only good handling of reflections, while the Samsung CU7000, despite a better SDR brightness performance, also suffers due to poor HDR brightness and handling of reflections. Both TVs are disadvantaged by their limited contrast, color volume, and color gamut, affecting the overall picture quality in well-lit environments.
