Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)The LG SM9000 has brilliant color and impressive brightness at very wide viewing angles. My single biggest gripe with this TV is its surprisingly poor backlighting system. Gamers will love its low input lag and other gaming-friendly features, but movie and TV buffs will find themselves lost in the dark.
Pros
- Bright, colorful 4K HDR panel
- Easy to set up and use
- Easy-to-use webOS smart TV system
Cons
- Poor backlight dimming
- No HDMI 2.1 ports

Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)The LG SM9000 is an okay TV for watching movies. It can play 24p movies judder-free, which is great, and it has a great motion interpolation feature. Sadly, it's not ideal for dark-room gaming because of its low contrast ratio. On the other hand, this TV can display a great wide color gamut for HDR content.
Pros
- Wide viewing angles
- Excellent low input lag
- Great motion interpolation feature
- Good response time
Cons
- Low contrast ratio
- Poor black uniformity
- No local dimming feature
