Our Verdict
LG C1 OLED
Samsung S95C OLED
The Samsung S95C OLED is better than the LG C1 OLED. Colors are more vibrant and lifelike on the Samsung due to its wider color gamut and better color volume, and there is less banding. The S95C also overcomes glare better in a bright room thanks to its higher SDR peak brightness, and highlights pop a lot more in HDR content thanks to its better HDR brightness.
