LG G3 (OLED) vs Samsung CU7000 (LCD)

The LG G3 OLED excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its perfect contrast ratio and superb black uniformity, while the Samsung CU7000 LCD struggles in this regard because of its lower contrast and less effective local dimming which results in poorer dark scene performance. Additionally, the LG G3's wide viewing angles and strong out-of-the-box colors offer a more consistent and vibrant viewing experience compared to the Samsung CU7000, which falls short in gray uniformity and color volume, further affecting its movie and TV viewing quality.

The LG G3 OLED TV excels at watching sports due to its exceptional response time and wide viewing angles, ensuring clear, blur-free action and consistent picture quality from various seating positions. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 LCD struggles in sports viewing because of its fair motion processing, poor reflection handling, and limited viewing angles which can reduce picture clarity and visibility in brighter rooms or for viewers sitting off to the side.

The LG G3 (OLED) is better suited for gaming due to its excellent response time and best input lag, which reduces motion blur and ensures actions are registered quickly. The Samsung CU7000 (LCD), on the other hand, has fair response time and very good input lag, which might be less optimal for fast-paced gaming, especially at its lower 60Hz refresh rate compared to the LG G3's 120Hz.

The LG G3 OLED excels with its out-of-the-box colors and wide color gamut, which are crucial for the vibrancy and variety needed in cartoons and animation, whereas the Samsung CU7000 LCD performs poorly in these areas, making it less ideal for content that relies heavily on bold and varied colors. Additionally, factors like color volume, which contributes to a display's ability to reproduce a range of colors at different luminance levels, and gray uniformity, impacting the consistency of color across the screen, are superior on the LG G3 OLED, thus enhancing animation viewing compared to the Samsung CU7000 LCD.

The LG G3 OLED excels in upscaling content and delivering better SDR brightness, which translates to clearer images and a more vibrant display when watching news or talk shows. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 LCD struggles with lower quality upscaling and reduced SDR brightness, leading to less clarity and brightness in similar content.

The LG G3 OLED shines in bright rooms with high brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content, along with excellent reflection handling, making it suitable for well-lit environments. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 LCD struggles with lower brightness levels and poor reflection handling, which can reduce viewing quality in brightly lit rooms.
