LG G4 77" vs Samsung S95C 65" (4K QD-OLED)
The Verdict
Both represent premium OLED television experiences but serve different priorities. LG's G4 77" leverages its larger screen size and MLA OLED technology to deliver superior brightness at 2100 nits with excellent color accuracy in Filmmaker Mode, paired with a snappy 1ms input lag for gaming. Samsung's S95C 65" counters with QD-OLED panel excellence, slightly superior audio through Object Tracking Sound Pro (70W vs 60W), and faster 144Hz gaming support. Picture quality differs subtly,LG excels in peak brightness and cinematic performance, while Samsung's QD-OLED produces deeper blacks and purer colors. The 12-inch size difference dramatically impacts viewing experience; the G4's 77" commands any room, justifying its $700 premium. However, the S95C offers exceptional value for smaller living spaces with virtually identical processing power and smart features. Choose the LG G4 for immersive cinematic viewing and larger rooms, or select Samsung's S95C if space, budget, or gaming refresh rates take priority.
