Our Verdict

Samsung Q90/Q90R QLED

LG B9 OLED

The LG B9 OLED and the Samsung Q90/Q90R QLED use different panel types, each with their advantages and disadvantages. The B9 has perfect blacks thanks to its OLED panel and delivers a better dark room performance. The Q90R can get significantly brighter and is more suitable for a very bright room. The B9 has better gray uniformity and better viewing angles, but also has a risk of permanent burn-in when exposed to static content, something that doesn't happen with the Q90R.
