Our Verdict
Samsung S95B OLED
LG G3 OLED
The LG G3 OLED and Samsung S95B OLED are two high-end OLED TVs with similar performance but some contrasting differences. The LG G3 OLED is brighter than the S95B, which is true even in Game Mode, where the LG G3 loses a significant amount of brightness. The G3 is also much brighter than the S95B in SDR, so if you routinely watch TV shows or SDR movies, the G3 will look more vibrant. However, as is typical of Samsung, it has more vibrant colors over the G3, it has a wider color gamut, and can display saturated colors at higher brightness levels than the G3; so the S95B will generally still look more vibrant than the G3, even if the latter can get brighter. Note that the LG G3 OLED now supports DTS audio formats, so this is something to consider if you listen to many DVDs or Blu-rays, which tend to have their audio tracks encoded in DTS.
