LG OLED G5 65 Inch vs Samsung S95D 65 Inch QD‑OLED
Verdict: The LG OLED G5 65" outperforms the Samsung S95D in peak brightness (800 nits vs 750 nits, RTINGS), processing speed (Alpha 9 Gen 6 vs older chip, Tom's Guide) and HDMI 2.1 support, making it the stronger choice for HDR cinema and next‑gen gaming. The S95D still offers superb color volume and wider viewing angles at a lower price, but its older processor and lack of HDMI 2.1 limit future‑proofing. Overall, the G5’s newer panel and features give it a clear edge for premium setups.
Winner: LG OLED G5 65 Inch
LG OLED G5 65 Inch: 8.5/10
