The LG UP7000 is often significantly less expensive than the Samsung Q60C, favoring those on a tighter budget. The LG UP7000 may not perform as well in dark rooms and has a lower overall picture quality; however, it may be adequate for casual viewing, especially in bright rooms and for sports content. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C offers a notably better picture quality, performs well in bright environments, has an advantage with news, talk shows, reality TV, and animation, and also supports voice commands, making it potentially more user-friendly. If you're willing to invest more for these enhancements, the Samsung Q60C could be a suitable choice. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 has poor color performance out of the box and a poor color gamut, which means that cartoons and animation may look less vibrant and less accurate in color presentation.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000's performance is considered poorer for watching news and TV programs due to its less effective upscaling of low-resolution content and its average SDR brightness, which impacts its ability to display clear images in brighter rooms. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C fares better due to its superior upscaling capability and better SDR brightness, ensuring clearer picture quality and better viewing in various lighting conditions.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60C performs better in a bright room due to its higher SDR brightness and slightly better handling of reflections compared to the LG UP7000; however, both TVs have limitations in HDR brightness and reflections handling, with the Samsung model being slightly superior. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut are secondary considerations where the Samsung also has an edge, contributing to its fair performance in bright rooms against the poor performance of the LG UP7000.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and LG UP7000 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The LG UP7000 struggles with poor contrast, black uniformity, and lacks local dimming making it less suitable for dark scenes in movies and cinematic content, while the Samsung Q60C, although better with contrast and black uniformity, still has poor local dimming affecting its ability to deliver true blacks and finer details in such content. Viewing angles, color accuracy, and gray uniformity are somewhat important, and while both TVs may have less ideal performance in these aspects, they primarily fall short in delivering a cinematic experience due to their limitations in the very important factors of contrast, black uniformity, and local dimming.

The LG UP7000 (LCD) and Samsung Q60C (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP7000 and the Samsung Q60C both have fair motion processing and response time, which are crucial for smoothly displaying fast-moving sports content, but they exhibit only decent handling of reflections and poor response time, affecting clarity in bright rooms and during quick action. Additionally, both have fair gray uniformity which can impact the appearance of playing fields, and they offer narrow viewing angles that limit the group viewing experience..
