Our Verdict

Samsung S95F OLED

LG C5 OLED

The Samsung S95F and the LG C5 are two very similar TVs, but the S95F is a bit better overall for most people. The S95F is a bit brighter, so colors are more vivid and HDR stands out better. The S95F also has better reflection handling, so glare is barely noticeable if you're watching it during the day. The only real downside to the S95F is that it has a noticeable purple tint in a bright room, and black levels are raised, so while the screen is easier to see in a bright room, overall picture quality is a bit worse.

    As a worker at BestBuy all our home theater associates can confirm there is no tint unless (key point) you get an 83” which uses the LG G panel. LG OLED’s are known for their reflections being a purple hue and having a green off angle. Shine a light on these TVs when you walk into the store and you’ll see a major difference

    There is no picture quality difference, the TVs mentioned are 4k panels

    The accurate report would be “The S95f is noticeably brighter than the C5 and is an amazing pick for bright rooms / spaces”
