LG SM9000 / SM9010: Best TV with IPS panel

The LG SM9000 / SM9010 is one of the best LCD-LED TVs of 2019-2020. Samsung presents its NanoCell panel as the best alternative to the top of the range: OLED. The IPS panel allows an image with a wide angle of view, on the other hand it loses a bit of contrast if we see dark scenes with the lights off. The lighting of the panel is FullArray with control by zones, which allows to control better the details in images they present blacks and clear at the same time. The resolution is 4K and is compatible with the best HDR formats such as DolbyVision (not compatible with HDR10 +). The screen size is 49 and 75 "for the SM9000 and 55 and 65" for the SM9010. The Smart webOS platform is one of the best, if not the best, together with Samsung's Tizen. It includes the Magic Remote control and 40W audio.

* The 75/86-inch 75SM9000 model is superior with Full Array Dimming Pro (more control zones), PMI 3900Hz and the color is black instead of steel gray.

Our opinion LG SM9000 (veredict):

Our opinion about the LG SM9010 is good, very good if you are looking for a great TV, with natural colors (less strident than the Samsung), incredible details in high quality content like HDR or 4K. One of the strengths of LG in recent years is its good Smart platform, complete and easy to use. This is not a TV recommended for those who want to see movies in the dark as if they were in the cinema, because if the film is dark and the room is with the lights off the blacks are not completely black, they look somewhat gray. On the other hand an excellent TV to watch sports, for large rooms thanks to its good viewing angle and perhaps too much if what you are looking for is a TV to watch TV since you can save by looking for a cheaper model.
