LG UR9000

The LG UR9000 is an okay TV overall. It's best for watching TV shows, watching sports, or for using as a PC monitor in a moderately-lit room due to the TV's acceptable SDR brightness, good viewing angle, and good reflection handling. Still, it's just not bright enough to fight glare from strong light sources. It's also not a great dark room TV, as its contrast is terrible, and it's not helped by its awful local dimming feature, which adds massive blooming in dark scenes. Due to the TV's middling HDR brightness and terrible contrast, highlights don't pop, and any HDR content looks washed out and lifeless. Fortunately, its input lag is fantastic, so video games feel fast and responsive, and so does your mouse cursor when using the TV as a PC monitor.
