Our Verdict
Samsung QN95C QLED
Sharp AQUOS XLED FV1
The Samsung QN95C QLED and the Sharp AQUOS XLED FV1 are similar, but the Samsung is a bit better. The Samsung gets brighter in HDR, so highlights in HDR content pop a bit more on it. The Samsung also has lower input lag, so it provides a more responsive gaming or desktop experience, and it supports 4k @ 144hz, so it's more suitable for PC gamers with modern graphics cards. However, the Sharp TV supports Dolby Vision and advanced DTS audio formats, so it's a bit better for those who are into physical media.
