LG55LA7408 vs. Samsung UE55F7090

First of all, I must say something about supply. The TV is a familieres Christmas. So I have also ordered. The extradition was delayed slightly so, the TV should not be delivered for Christmas. After a few telephone conversations with Amazon, I realized that is no more. The staff there were also some very unusual unfriendly, Standart excuses etc. I then phoned me with the delivery person, the DHL and the shipping company together. These were much more open in terms of my Problemes and lo and behold, everything has finally worked. Thank you first of all to DHL and the delivering forwarding. Amazon was also forgive due to the holiday season sales of small mistakes, because I know that the more time was an exception and not the rule. I know Amazon very very very different and I think after Christmas is also the way again.

Good times I come to the actual review.

I had a few days earlier ordered me a Samsung. The UE55F7090. The TV looked good at first glance. The LG55La7408 can compete here but thoroughly. The frame / border of LG, is also like Samsung of metal, the back of the Samsung was more plastic, the LG is here again with metal. The veneer on the LG (bottom / front) is more plastic, as is the foot (with Samsung metal). Compared to Samsung but LG seems a tick processed quality and appearance speaks (me and others) more.

I too am one of the people who look at a TV screen and not normally sit with irgentwelchen magnifiers before the panel and looking pixels.
Seeking not at first and looked and did not see any error, neither the Samsung nor the LG. The so-called Tashkent lamp effects or clouding, however, I can see both devices. With the Samsung, these are highly visible on all 4 corners, these places go up in the center. When LG I see this also, only very weak and easily in 2 of the 4 corners. For movies with bars top and bottom, or 4: 3 left and right, these effects could be seen still clearly on the Samsung (even bothered right), at LG I see nothing more.

The image of the factory default settings, here is both room for improvement, more room for improvement, is the Samsung, the LG screen is well adjusted for normal conditions, but also in need of improvement. The picture settings are much more extensive than the Samsung and the LG. After adjustment to my taste, both TVs had a very good, sharp and brilliant image.
The black level I would in two TVs as good or very good grade (better a Pip is the Samsung)

What has annoyed me at Samsung, the matter of the motion judder (Zwischenbildber.) You can rely on several settings, however ensteht at the slightest setting this disgusting soap effect. Avatar it looks like the folk theater of Garmisch. If you have it off to live with stuttering. You can also perform a manual adjustment, but that brings in the place is not much, either bucking or Bauerntheater. When LG can also go on the manual setting (Truemotion I think) and it works here, jerking off and Soap effect is not visible, as it should be.

Perspective, here LG is normal to very good, no matter where you sit or is it looks, you have a consistently good image (unless you provide or sits down the side of the device / image ... then does it look at each Flachblid TV no longer good out). At Samsung, however, has a slight lateral position or easily from the bottom reaches up and turned off, and the picture changed dramatically. From black is gray, everything else looks very pale. Looking at the now in a normal living room furnished ... a sitting from the TV on the sofa at eye level head before the TV, the other side next to it, on a chair, who will be delighted with the TV picture on the couch, the chairs on the is the enthusiasm can not understand.

Tuning and sorting, here is with respect to the easy-to-understand menu guidance the clear winner of Samsung. LG, however, is complicated, you can not remove the transmitter and you have to use some tricks to be able to edit channel numbers, even in the event. Of storage of any channel lists on USB ... the Samsung easily go for LG garnicht (maybe with tricks I have not know) Here I do not know why LG not even think about working in his updates and it simpler for the customer ... would also expand the möglihe audience.

Remote control, remote from LG is how the Most data already write here very inconvenient, for beginners, I think sometimes to the elderly, the new TV would, already holds unusable. Since I already have a smaller 42 inch LG have standing in my apartment in Majorca (with remote) and there already knew the problems I have found me "normal" orginal FB by LG for that, right back in Germany, a. Since she was still here, I can use them the same and that has brought many benefits. I recommend this to anyone who ordered this TV, equal to the normal order with FB, grade regarding first steps and settings. Samsung provides 2 remote controls, a touch panel and a normal, both, however, are easy to handle and easier to understand than this remote. For me, this is only interesting if I act on the Internet to the TV, otherwise I do everything with the remote control separately purchased.

For 3D, with LG, brilliant, free from ghosting, deep and perfectly. For Samsung (I have for years also another Samsung TV the PS50C7790) the ghosting is apparently still an issue. I thought over the years has been reworked here but nil. Even with the F7090 is clear Ghostig to see the 3D image is indeed brilliant, deep and vivid, but ghosting is just evident. The Polfilterverfahren allowed other lights near the TV to be turned on or to sit in non-darkened rooms. The glasses are lighter and the eye is less strained. Simply pleasant this thing. Although angebl. to achieve no FullHD image more, but who wants to tell the difference with the naked eye, which can be at Bets that ??? login.

Compare the image with SD channels. The SD image is both not so overwhelming. However, I must say that the SD image, eg Sat1 Gold, on the Samsung was really bad, colors, faces, etc. all mushy. The LG is signed clean, no comparison to the HD image but acceptable and good. In the different HD channels, compared to "The First HD" and "RTL HD," Samsung is clearly behind, the RTL HD image is impeccable, as well as the LG, sharp, brilliant, just great. At Samsung, for example, acts "Das Erste HD," sharp and brilliant but somewhat scratchy. Same station at LG, no sign of a scratchy picture, the TV records everything from balanced (much better) when switching the Samsung responded much more quickly, but I am talking here only of one second.

2D BD picture here, both TVs are in every way, just very good to overwhelming.

Internet, here are both the same similar, but the Samsung responded much faster. Both offer enough apps, max cathedrals etc. and also work equally well. Because, as I find the reception with WLAN in two (despite excellent and fast network with me) rather badly worked had / I have both TVs connected to Lan. The disadvantage here again the Samsung who like to simply crashed and then went garnischts more, draw only after plug and plug it in again. The LG, however, has not yet been adopted since commissioning once. Here also this Remote for the first time really shows to be useful. Usability of the smart functions are very simple in both.

The Samsung offers, lt. Inclusive Package still a so-called gesture control and voice control (even something like switch or and quiet loud) make this Super functions but as cumbersome to use, on the one hand, they do not work so right and on the other hand, my take everything much for too long, so you ultimately intervenes when the device has been a while and the Rumspielphase is again passed, but again, because everything is faster to FB. Voice input at LG functions, however some precise will, all recently you can, as far as I've noticed so far, not switch, or loud and make quiet, this is only for the Internet functions ... but here again quite handy regard. Any input, for example in the WEB Browser. But that has yet to be tested in the long term.

Also the Samsung has a retractable camera (Skype), the LG you need a separate camera. The works on the Samsung perfectly, those who need it!?! Skype over a stationary camera ... It does not have any look in my living room, for example, wenns is not even cleared. Skype is me personally prefer the laptop or on the tablet, I can set up there where I want.
But something like gesture control, camera and voice control was not a buying criterion.

My conclusion: The LG is a very stylish device, which appears well made. He has a pronounced good image and things like Clouding etc. are hardly visible to my eyes. Defective pixels, stripes, etc. I could not discover. 3D is impeccable and very good.

The TV has many settings, which with appropriate use lead to an excellent image. Internet and Co are good and easy to operate and function properly. The problem is the sorting station, but if you're in a time behind, is also quickly forgotten. (But should sometimes be changed with an update for future searches and sorts)

Recommended to the normal remote control to order now with. Deliver the unit with the remote is a real no-go.

Compared to Samsung for me is the LG of the "clear" winners and will consequently also in the house. The Samsung is already back, because where he came (not Amazon) ago. Perhaps I had caught a Monday device called Samsung in this, but if me a TV already 3 hours after installation upset, then I also want to have no more Tuesday device.
Priced the Samsung was well above the LG (Samsung offer tablet 2,200 euros, the LG contrast 1070 Euro - the Cyber ​​even just 999 euros), ergo without tablet almost twice as expensive, and with regard to the significant price difference, the Samsung (even if Wednesday device) the LG not really outdo and that he would have a major contribution to the price. In my opinion even performs at a Thursday device the LG even considerably higher than the Samsung.

This device (the LG) I can therefore, viewed on the device, which I got, only picures. Here right opposite the Pei money and for the money you saved the Samsung, yet is clearly more accessories than just a Tab3 10.1 (which does not even cooperate with the Samsung or is compatible with 4.2.2 - not via AllShare, or App (Samsung SmartView) My current Tab2 and Tab3 my better half but works with the app by LG (LG TV remote) easily and streams for me, even the TV screen back - at the Samsung TV went there !!! If garnix can not even communicate with each other Samsung devices, then Samsung has clearly done something wrong, especially if you offer these devices still together in an action ... I would say that has something of "embarrassing"
