Final Verdict

Both are single-laser 4K USTs a tier below the flagships. The PL2 usually undercuts the Samsung meaningfully while matching the core picture experience — the value play. The Premiere LPU7D earns its premium with Samsung’s Tizen smart platform, better out-of-box color tuning, and the ecosystem fit if your house is already Samsung. Pure value: PL2. Polish and ecosystem: Premiere.
