The LG G4 OLED TV is the best TV LG has ever made. And while I know there are some of you who have feelings about the Samsung S95D, it is, in my humble opinion, the best TV Samsung has made this year.
Contents So which to buy? Is one categorically better than the other. Which one would I personally spend my money on? I’m going to answer those questions.
The central pedestal stand LG includes with the 55- and 65-inch models is very solid and feels of excellent quality. If you mount the TV flush to the wall, the G4’s inputs would be tough to access. Fortunately, LG’s mount allows you to pull the TV away from the wall so you can plug and unplug cables at will, then slide the TV right back, smack against the wall.
In terms of format support, it’s a win for LG. The G4 supports both Dolby Vision HDR and DTS audio passthrough for its HDMI eARC port. As for gaming feature support — again, features only — these TVs are evenly matched. Both support 4K up to 144Hz with VRR. And while the Samsung lacks G-Sync certification, it works just fine with G-Sync and FreeSync, just like the LG G4. Both have comprehensive gaming dashboards that offer more features than you are likely to use.
Measurements never tell the whole story, however. And in the case of comparing these two TVs, measurements mean even less. When it comes to overall luminance or brightness, the Samsung S95D measures brighter — at least until its dimming system comes to the rescue as the panel starts getting super hot.But from a perceptual brightness perspective when watching real content, the LG G4 appears brighter.
From a bright room viewability perspective, the S95D I think is going to look better to the average viewer. But enthusiasts are making clear that they prefer the glossy LG screen. In the end, only YOU can decide what you prefer, so if you can, go have a look at both of these TVs in action at a brightly-lit retail store and see what you think for yourself.
