Samsung S95F QD-OLED TV vs LG 4K HDR Smart OLED TV

The Samsung S95F is the stronger TV on paper: QD-OLED panel, anti-glare coating, four HDMI 2.1 ports and gaming up to 165Hz. Reviewers rate its picture quality as the best they have tested, with vivid color and high brightness, though several mention weak sound at high volume and a few report panel coating or back panel defects. The LG OLED is the safer, simpler pick for buyers who want a well-known OLED with solid picture quality and a long track record, but it is the older, less bright design. Buy the S95F for a bright room or serious gaming; buy the LG if you want a conventional OLED and do not need the extra brightness or refresh rate.

• Choose the Samsung S95F if you watch in a bright room, game at high frame rates, or want the brightest, most saturated OLED picture.
• Choose the LG OLED if you want a proven OLED with a straightforward feature set and do not need anti-glare coating or 165Hz gaming.
