Our Verdict

Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED

LG B9 OLED

The LG B9 OLED is a better TV than the Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED. Thanks to the OLED's ability to individually turn off pixels, it has perfect black levels. The B9 also has a wider color gamut, much better viewing angles, gray uniformity, and reflection handling. On the other hand, the Q70R can get brighter, has better out-of-the-box color accuracy, and doesn't have the same risk for permanent burn-in that the OLED does.
