If you prefer saving money, the LG UR9000 is less expensive than the Samsung Q70A and still offers good sports content viewing and a capable gaming experience. However, it's not suitable for dark room viewing due to low contrast and dim performance in such settings. The Samsung Q70A costs more but provides better overall picture quality, superior contrast, and enhanced gaming experience with a higher refresh rate. It also handles bright rooms better if you commonly watch TV in a well-lit space. Neither TV excels in audio, so consider a separate sound system for either model. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 has a low contrast ratio and lacks local dimming which makes its ability to display deep blacks and high contrast scenes poor, affecting its performance while watching movies and cinematic content. Conversely, the Samsung Q70A offers a high contrast ratio and better black uniformity ensuring a fair performance for movie watching by providing deeper blacks and a more immersive viewing experience, although it lacks local dimming as well.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for gaming, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 has a fair response time and input lag, which makes it less suitable for fast-paced gaming that requires quick screen transitions and minimal delay between user input and action on the screen. In contrast, the Samsung Q70A offers very good response time and input lag, delivering a smoother and more responsive gaming experience, beneficial when quick reflexes and timing are essential, and it also supports a higher refresh rate of 120Hz compared to the LG's 60Hz.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q70A is rated higher for cartoons & animation partly due to its better color gamut and color volume, which means it can display a wider range and more vivid colors. In contrast, the LG UR9000 falls short in these areas, particularly with a lower color gamut score, which impacts the vibrancy and variety of colors it can produce for animated content.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for bright room, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 struggles in bright rooms due to its fair SDR and HDR brightness and reflections handling, which could make the image appear dim and reflective in sunlit spaces. In contrast, the Samsung Q70A is better suited for well-lit environments, thanks to its very good SDR brightness and better control of reflections, meaning it can maintain a clearer and more vibrant image even when facing indirect sunlight.
