The LG UP8000 is the better choice for gamers and general TV viewing in both dark and bright environments. It has higher overall picture quality and performs better in dark rooms. It also has better sound quality and upscaling for lower resolution content, which could be beneficial for watching news, talk shows, and animation. On the other hand, the LG UR9000, despite being slightly less expensive, excels in sports content and has a higher quality control score. However, it performs worse in dark rooms, and the overall picture quality is slightly lower compared to the UP8000. If you're on a tight budget, prioritize sports content, and can manage in a mostly bright room, the UR9000 may be a good fit. But if you want better overall picture quality, sound, and performance in a variety of lighting conditions, the UP8000 is the more suitable option. Give Feedback

Stratos Kampourogiannis | July 2021
"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
