Samsung Q7C 55" (QN55Q7C) vs LG UJ6300 55" (55UJ6300)

The main feature of the Samsung Q7C is its curved panel which can give you that immersive feeling as it is curved in such a way that it feels like the screen surrounds you if you sit front and center. However, if you are not a fan of curved TVs, there is an equally-priced flat version of the Samsung Q7C called the Samsung Q7F.

The Samsung Q7C has all the bits and pieces needed to process and display HDR content because of the TV’s wide color gamut, acceptable HDR peak brightness, good native contrast ratio, and uniform blacks.

The Samsung Q7C is an excellent option for sports fans because the TV can display fast and dynamic content very clearly. This is achieved by the TV’s fast pixel response time which almost eliminates the motion-blur effect. The TV has a full pixel response time of 8.1 ms which means each pixel can fully change its color in less than 1/100th of a second, so even fast-moving objects don't leave trails. Regarding response time, the Samsung Q7C performs much better than the majority of its competitors on the market.

Additionally, the Samsung Q7C is especially good for watching outdoor sports, like football, rugby or golf, because the TV has high color uniformity which makes sports fields look more realistic and consistent.

The Samsung Q7C comes with an eye-catching remote. It’s made from metal and has shiny metal finish. Apart from being stylish, the remote offers some extended functionality, like a microphone and voice control.

This TV works very well with all the current generation gaming consoles, such as the Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and Wii U.

The overall picture quality of the Samsung Q7C is decent as the TV can reproduce deep dark scenes because of its panel's high native contrast ratio and proper black uniformity. The Samsung Q7C does a much better job with dark scenes than its competitors, including the VIZIO P-series.

The Samsung Q7C is a good gaming TV because of its relatively small input lag, and excellent motion blur handling.

The TV’s input lag is only 24.2 ms, which allows you to experience smooth and immersive gameplay without noticeable delay between the press of a button and the corresponding action on the screen. Here, the Q7C outperforms its biggest competitor: the Sony X930E.

The UJ6300 is a decent choice for gaming thanks to its extremely low input lag, excellent response time, and full 4K 60 FPS support.

In terms of input lag, this TV outperforms almost every currently available high-end TV. The low input lag makes the TV great for fast games. The motion blur is really low at ~17ms, so fast-moving objects won't leave any trails at all.

It’s also compatible with 60 Hz 4K input which makes it suitable for high-end console gaming.

The UJ6300 runs on the webOS smart platform. It has a great ecosystem of apps, ranging from media streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, etc.) to third-party apps. Support for these apps are also first-class with up-to-date features and good performance; for instance, the YouTube app supports 360-degree video playback.

The UJ6300 does a decent job at lowering the intensity of glare. Reflections are kept to a minimum thanks to the panel's semi-gloss finish. In fact, only around 1.9% of total light is reflected - a feat surpassed only by a handful of higher-end TVs.

The UJ6300 can upscale 480p, 720p, and 1080p content quite well. The majority of details will be preserved, although there might be some artifacts on the sides of an image.

The UJ6300 will run content from the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X smoothly, and its input lag stays low at ~13ms even with HDR-enhanced 4K content. You will not notice any increased delay when switching from SDR gaming mode to HDR.

The UJ6300 is great at handling motion, making it a good choice for displaying fast and dynamic content. Fast-moving objects don't leave any discernible trails behind them, thanks to its low motion blur of only ~17ms.
