Compare LG QNED75B vs Samsung M70H

Colorful, sharp 4K content can look pleasing, particularly in favorable lighting, but washed-out blacks and low brightness keep the image from looking truly impressive.

The image impresses some everyday owners with clear details and punchy colors, yet controlled testing exposes washed-out blacks and weak brightness.

Compression blocking from low-quality streaming sources is cleaned up well, though fine texture can become slightly waxy.

Low-quality streamed and cable video retains blocky artifacts rather than being cleaned up effectively.

A dark room exposes the panel’s gray blacks and low contrast, making this a weak pick for movie nights without ambient light.

Some viewers find black levels surprisingly pleasing in a dark room; others find gray blacks and weak contrast disappointing, especially in movies.

The TV struggles against daylight and nearby lamps because its screen output is low and direct reflections remain distracting.

Strong sunlight and reflections often overpower the picture, though one owner finds the television bright enough for daytime use.

HDR tracking and tuned picture modes can be impressively accurate, even though the panel cannot deliver strong HDR contrast.

HDR white balance is reasonably good, though cool tones and shadow errors keep factory accuracy from being ideal.

eARC can deliver high-quality, uncompressed audio to a soundbar or home-theater receiver.

eARC can carry high-quality sound, but some uncompressed multichannel formats are limited to 5.1 in normal operation.

The Mini LED label does not bring the high-contrast local dimming buyers may expect from premium Mini LED sets.

The entry-level LCD hardware falls far short of the advanced, independently controlled Mini LED performance the branding may suggest.

Neither SDR nor HDR gets particularly bright, limiting its ability to overcome glare or make highlights stand out.

Lab measurements and several evaluations find brightness insufficient for glare and HDR, although one owner finds the screen strikingly bright.

Built-in sound draws mixed reactions: some owners find it plenty powerful for everyday television, while testing highlights thin bass and limited richness.

Built-in speakers are good enough for many owners and provide clear dialogue, though thin bass and limited power disappoint others.

Colors look natural to several viewers, especially skin tones, although lab testing finds some default white-balance and color-mapping inconsistencies.

Out-of-box color is mixed: some find natural skin tones and pleasing hues, while others see a magenta cast. Calibration can improve accuracy considerably.

Standard, Cinema, Filmmaker and custom motion settings allow useful tradeoffs between brightness, accuracy, and smoothness.

Movie and Filmmaker are solid options for a restrained picture, while Dynamic can appear punchy but overblown.

Casual 60fps sessions can feel responsive, but pronounced motion blur can spoil faster gameplay.

Games respond quickly, but motion blur and the native 60Hz cap make the experience less impressive for serious players.

Black depth is a major divide: colorful scenes look contrasty to some, but very dark scenes turn gray and flat.

Native VA contrast can appear pleasing, yet the lack of local dimming leaves a washed-out picture in demanding dark scenes.

HDR highlights remain restrained and bright outdoor scenes can look flat; simply enabling HDR makes only a modest difference.

HDR highlights lack punch, and the set has too little brightness to show luminous effects convincingly.

HDR content lacks the punch and contrast expected from the format, though some viewers notice a slight improvement over SDR in controlled lighting.

Vibrant colors can look pleasant, yet weak brightness and absent local dimming keep HDR contrast from feeling transformative.

Bass is usually thin and lacks cinematic weight, so a soundbar is a better option for action films.

Bass is a recurring weakness, leaving explosions and low rumbles thin. Some owners find it acceptable for everyday TV, but it is no substitute for a subwoofer.

The screen lacks effective zone-by-zone backlight control, so dark scenes wash out even though severe zone-related halos are not a problem.

The set lacks hardware local dimming, so it cannot selectively deepen dark areas or boost bright highlights the way stronger Mini LED TVs can.

Fine 4K detail and converted HD edges can look impressively crisp for a budget set.

4K material can show crisp faces and fine details, making everyday high-definition content visually satisfying.

Default grayscale can skew warm or blue depending on brightness. Fine calibration needs to be tailored to the individual panel.

HDR white balance is mostly good despite a slight cool tint and errors in dark detail.

Judder and blur make motion a mixed point: viewers of 60fps content are more satisfied than those watching 24fps films or fast games.

Motion is a contentious area: controlled assessments report substantial blur, while a few viewers find sports and games acceptable.

Game Mode offers low input delay, with one hands-on test reporting about 9ms, so controller actions feel responsive.

Low input lag is one of the clearest gaming strengths, even though the 60Hz panel still limits overall responsiveness.

The basic smart-TV functions are approachable, while the fuller webOS menus can feel cluttered and overwhelming.

Phone-based setup and built-in apps simplify basic tasks, but Tizen menus can feel confusing and sluggish.

Good compression cleanup and HD conversion help ordinary video, although some fine detail can be sacrificed.

Lower-resolution video can remain soft, and weak compression cleanup leaves lower-quality streams looking rough.

Near-black scenes are surprisingly clean, with minimal visible vertical banding.

Darker color transitions show visible banding, especially in red shades with limited separation.

Simple clips help keep attached cables tidy.

The back lacks built-in routing for HDMI and power cords, leaving cable tidiness to the installation.

Proper 4:4:4 chroma and an RGB layout keep computer text crisp.

The BGR subpixel pattern may make small text less sharp when the TV is used as a computer monitor.

HDR color coverage does not reach the full range of modern HDR formats, so some vibrant tones cannot be reproduced.

Color is one of the more liked traits, especially compared with very basic Samsung models, but demanding HDR shades are not fully reproduced.

Fast subjects can blur noticeably in tests, even though some owners consider sports and 60fps games crisp.

Fine detail becomes hard to follow during movement because moving objects look visibly smeared.

Black areas often look uneven or gray, sometimes with warmer patches and darker edges.

Dark areas are generally even with little obvious flashlighting, though the entire black floor is raised.

VRR exists and can tame tearing within its supported range, but it stops helping when frame rates dip too low.

VRR can prevent tearing near 60fps, though its narrow operating range limits its value when frame rates fall.

Physical buttons simplify basic actions, although pointer navigation or unusual key placement takes adjustment.

The basic remote works for navigation but lacks a voice button, pushing voice commands onto a phone app or alternate remote.

Dark scenes can obscure subtle details, leaving shadowed subjects harder to distinguish.

Some near-black textures get crushed or lifted; the result is usable but not reliably faithful.

DVDs and 1080p sources are enlarged cleanly, avoiding obvious jagged edges and harsh sharpening.

Upconversion is mixed: HD edges look excellent in one assessment, while others notice softness with older or low-resolution sources.

A full calibration can make the image exceptionally accurate, and the settings offer useful adjustments rather than a universal one-size-fits-all recipe.

Calibration is relatively easy and can produce very accurate colors, although a little shadow crush remains.

Volume impressions vary: some owners find it surprisingly loud, while testing shows the speakers have limited headroom in noisier rooms.

One evaluation finds the speakers too quiet and compressed at full volume, while another considers loudness sufficient for an ordinary room.

Physical buttons are welcome, but close positioning of Home and navigation keys can cause accidental presses.

The missing microphone/voice-command button frustrates people who expect quick voice search directly from the handset.

Some button presses and menu movements lag behind the user’s input.

One remote reportedly executed the wrong commands, making basic navigation irritating.

AirPlay lets iPhone users mirror their display to the larger screen.

AirPlay mirroring works with an iMac and iPhone without an external streaming box.

A traditional button-heavy remote is appreciated by some, but the optional Magic Remote and occasional navigation delays divide opinion.

Remote impressions range from a pleasant basic handset to a frustrating defective unit with wrong-button responses.

Dark scenes often appear gray or hazy rather than genuinely black, although some viewers perceive deeper blacks in brighter images.

Opinions diverge sharply: some owners like the black depth in a dark room, while controlled testing finds raised, gray-looking blacks.

HD streaming and older sources generally look tidy after processing, but extremely low-resolution material can remain soft.

Old or compressed video is watchable, but blockiness and softness often remain visible.

Promotions can appear in the interface and on idle screens, with no simple universal way to disable them.

Home-screen advertising cannot be fully switched off, although targeted ads can be disabled.

A straightforward, lower-cost 4K TV gets enthusiastic endorsements for basic use, but its dark-scene picture quality and motion fall well behind stronger competitors.

Satisfaction is polarized: some owners are delighted with affordable, colorful 4K viewing, while performance-focused evaluations strongly advise alternatives.

Three HDMI inputs are enough for a modest setup but can feel restrictive alongside multiple consoles and audio gear.

Three HDMI inputs cover basic gear, but a soundbar can occupy one of them and limit room for gaming devices.

A hard 60Hz ceiling rules out the native 4K/120fps experience sought by competitive gamers.

The native 60Hz panel cannot deliver genuine 120fps clarity, and DLG cannot make up for that hardware limit.

The Mini LED branding may mislead shoppers because the backlight lacks local dimming control.

The Mini LED name sets expectations the screen cannot meet because its dimming is software-based rather than independent zone control.

The 4K panel shows native UHD material clearly and accepts standard resolutions, but it tops out at 60Hz.

4K UHD makes people and program details appear sharp in everyday viewing.

Direct lights and windows remain highly visible on the glossy screen, undermining daytime viewing.

The glossy coating offers little protection from bright windows and lamps, frequently making reflections distracting.

A faint glow or haze can appear in dark scenes, though the absence of actual dimming zones avoids the more obvious halos seen on some TVs.

Without independent dimming zones, bright objects avoid obvious halos but dark scenes lose overall contrast instead.

Built-in free LG channels offer a no-additional-subscription way to find casual TV content.

Samsung TV Plus adds an appreciated selection of no-subscription channels, supported by commercials.

Some 24fps material judders, although film playback from native apps or suitable sources fares better.

Judder handling depends heavily on source: native 24p content can be smooth, while 60Hz film signals may judder; other testing finds strong 1080i film compensation.

Side viewing is inconsistent: the picture can remain accurate at modest angles, but colors and fine detail deteriorate farther off-center.

Opinions vary, but the recurring complaint is that colors wash out from the sides, reducing picture consistency for groups.

The native 60Hz panel is adequate for standard video and gaming, not the smoother 120Hz experience of more capable models.

A native 60Hz panel is fine for ordinary shows but cannot deliver true 120Hz motion from modern consoles or PCs.

TruMotion can smooth camera movement but may introduce a soap-opera look or inconsistent frame pacing.

Automatic smoothing helps one owner, but controlled testing reports judder, uneven cadence and no worthwhile improvement.

The screen can reflect windows almost like a mirror, so placement away from bright light sources is important.

Bright lamps and windows remain clearly visible in the glossy display, making placement important.

The direct-lit LCD panel has very low expected permanent burn-in risk even with static on-screen elements.

The LCD panel is expected to resist permanent image retention, making static on-screen elements relatively low risk.

Colors are lively enough for ordinary material, but deeply saturated HDR shades and very bright colors are harder for the panel to reproduce.

Vibrant colors impress some owners, but laboratory results find washed-out bright and dark saturated tones.

Speech is serviceable, with voice-enhancement options, but the speakers lack some treble definition.

Voices are generally clear and intelligible, though sometimes boxy in tone.

Sports and uniform backgrounds can reveal mild-to-noticeable blotches, particularly toward the edges.

The center stays relatively clean, but darker edges and uneven gray fields can intrude on regular programs.

Game Optimizer reduces input delay and makes gaming controls easily accessible.

Game Mode keeps ghosting tolerable for some players, especially outside very dark, fast-moving scenes.

Fine bright highlights lack visual sparkle; the sun or reflections can disappear into an underwhelming overall image.

Specular highlights stay flat and fail to stand out from the surrounding image.

Slow pixel transitions leave moving subjects blurry rather than sharply resolved.

Slow, uneven pixel transitions leave moving objects blurry and hard to distinguish.

Patchy gray fields and darker sides can stand out, especially in broad, even-color scenes.

Darker edges and vertical near-black bands make solid colors and very dark scenes look uneven.

Widely spaced feet need a broad TV cabinet, with no narrower mounting position.

The feet cannot be moved inward, which reduces compatibility with narrower cabinets.

The limited VRR range lacks low-frame-rate compensation, so tearing can return below 48fps.

The refresh window is too narrow for low-frame-rate compensation and mainly helps near 60fps.

The direct-lit LCD design avoids several common panel-degradation risks, although an LED failure could affect a large portion of the screen.

Permanent burn-in risk is low, but a failed backlight LED may affect a sizable part of the image rather than a small zone.

Initial software setup is manageable, but stand assembly can be fiddly on at least one demonstrated unit.

Snap-in feet and SmartThings QR-code pairing make initial setup straightforward, particularly when using a phone.

Apple devices can share or mirror media directly to the TV over AirPlay.

Built-in AirPlay makes it convenient to share video or mirror Apple devices without buying an Apple TV box.

An eARC connection makes it straightforward to pair the TV with a capable external audio system.

eARC is a useful way to connect a soundbar or receiver and transfer high-quality audio from external devices.

The low price and vibrant everyday picture attract budget buyers, although similarly priced competitors offer better contrast and brightness.

Value depends on the deal: inexpensive 4K streaming and strong color appeal to some, while similarly priced rivals can offer far better HDR and motion.

This TV cannot display native 4K at 120Hz, which limits premium console and PC gaming.

The M70H cannot display native 4K at 120Hz. Its 60Hz panel misses the high-frame-rate modes offered by modern consoles.

DTS playback and passthrough support is absent, which matters for certain Blu-ray and disc-based soundtracks.

DTS audio formats are unsupported, which can complicate Blu-ray playback and external surround setups.
