Our Verdict
Panasonic W95A
LG C4 OLED
The LG C4 OLED is better than the Panasonic W95A in most ways. The LG displays deep and inky blacks with no blooming at all due to its nearly infinite contrast ratio, making it look better in a dark room. The LG has better accuracy in SDR without calibration and follows the PQ EOTF curve closer, making it the more accurate TV overall. Additionally, the LG displays clearer motion due to its nearly instantaneous response time, has lower input lag, and is more suitable for wide seating arrangements because of its wider viewing angle. However, the Panasonic is slightly better for bright rooms due to its better SDR brightness, and it has the edge when it comes to upscaling capabilities.
