LG G4 77" vs Samsung QN95D 65" (4K Neo QLED)
The Verdict
LG's G4 delivers superior OLED contrast and color accuracy with its advanced Micro Lens Array technology, ideal for cinema enthusiasts who value perfect blacks and Dolby Vision IQ support. Samsung's QN95D counters with exceptional peak brightness (3000 nits vs 2100), superior gaming responsiveness at 144Hz with 5ms input lag, and more powerful audio output at 70 watts. Size matters significantly here: the G4's 77-inch panel commands any room, while the QN95D's 65-inch fits tighter spaces. Samsung edges ahead in gaming performance and brightness for bright rooms, but the LG excels in dark-room performance and film-like picture quality. For most buyers prioritizing picture quality in varied lighting conditions, the larger G4 justifies its $500 premium with superior OLED technology and screen real estate.
