Our Verdict
LG G2 OLED
Samsung QN95B
The LG G2 OLED delivers a better dark room viewing experience than the Samsung QN95B, but the Samsung is a better choice for a bright room. The G2 looks incredible in a dark room, with perfect blacks and no blooming around bright objects in dark scenes. HDR looks incredible on the G2 thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio. The Samsung, on the other hand, gets significantly brighter, so it's a better choice for a bright room with lots of natural light.
