Our Verdict

Samsung Q90/Q90R QLED

LG E9 OLED

The LG E9 OLED and the Samsung Q90/Q90R QLED use different panel types, each with their advantages and disadvantages. The E9 is much better in a dark room, thanks to its OLED panel that delivers perfect blacks. The Q90R is significantly brighter and is more suitable for a very bright room. The E9 has better gray uniformity and better viewing angles but it also has a risk of permanent burn-in when exposed to static content, something that doesn't happen with the Q90R.
