If you prefer a television that's generally better for sports due to a higher score in that aspect and offers voice command accessibility, the LG UR9000 is a respectable choice, albeit at a slightly higher price. However, the LG UP7000, while sometimes less expensive, has a slightly better overall picture quality and may perform marginally better in bright rooms. Keep in mind that neither TV is particularly well-suited for dark room viewing, and both share similar limitations with respect to gaming performance and sound quality. Give Feedback

The LG UP7000 (LCD) and LG UR9000 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The LG UP7000 has a low contrast ratio, no local dimming, and poor black uniformity which leads to less deep and less uniform blacks. This makes dark scenes in movies and cinematic TV less impactful compared to TVs that excel in these areas, and the LG UR9000 shares these shortcomings despite its slightly better black uniformity, contributing to a similarly poor performance for movie-watching.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and LG UP7000 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP7000 has fair motion processing, but poor response time and poor reflection handling, which can affect clarity during fast sports scenes, especially in bright rooms. The LG UR9000 offers better motion processing and reflection handling, making it more suitable for watching sports, though it shares the same fair response time, indicating some motion blur might still be noticeable..

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and LG UP7000 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG UP7000 and LG UR9000 both have a poor response time, which is crucial for gamers who need quick screen transitions, and despite both having low input lag, they only offer a refresh rate of 60Hz, which is not ideal for fast-paced gaming that benefits from higher refresh rates.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and LG UP7000 (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The LG UP7000 and LG UR9000 are both poor choices for watching cartoons and animation mainly due to their poor performance in color reproduction, with both exhibiting poor colors straight out of the box and a limited color gamut. Additionally, while color volume and gray uniformity are important, where both TVs exhibit fair performance, deficiency in crucial aspects such as colors and color gamut significantly impacts viewing animated content.

5.7/10
The LG UP7000 (LCD) and LG UR9000 (LCD) are both poor for news, talk, & other TV.
The LG UP7000 is described as having a fair upscaling quality and SDR brightness, which is not optimal for watching news and talk shows that often require good upscaling of lower resolution content and a screen that can remain visible in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the LG UR9000, despite having very good colors out of the box, also has a low contrast score and poor local dimming capability, which can lead to flat images and poor performance in dark scenes, affecting the overall viewing experience of such programs.

The LG UP7000 and LG UR9000 both have fair SDR and HDR brightness levels, which means they might not be bright enough to combat glare in well-lit environments. Additionally, they each have only fair performance in handling reflections, which can further compromise viewing quality in bright rooms.
