Our Verdict
LG C4 OLED
Samsung QN900D 8k QLED
In most ways, the LG C4 OLED is better than the Samsung QN900D 8k QLED. While the Samsung is an 8k TV, there is almost no 8k content available, so it doesn't provide it with an advantage over the 4k LG C4. The LG is an OLED, so it has even better contrast than the otherwise fantastic contrast of the Samsung, with no blooming or lighting zone transitions. While the Samsung can get brighter in HDR, the LG is close in real content, although the Samsung does have the edge in SDR brightness. Otherwise, LG is the far better gaming TV due to its faster response time, although Samsung is interesting for those with extremely fast computers because of its 4k @ 240Hz or 8k @ 60Hz support with VRR. Finally, the LG has a far better viewing angle, making it far superior for a wide seating arrangements.
