Verdict: The LG OLED G5 65" wins overall with superior black levels (0 % measured reflectance per RTINGS), lower input lag (9 ms vs 12 ms), and more advanced AI upscaling (per CNET). While the Samsung S95D shines with 1000 nits peak brightness and richer QD‑OLED colors, its higher lag and older processor lag behind. For dark‑room movie watching the G5 is the clear choice; for bright‑room HDR content the S95D remains a solid, cheaper alternative.

Winner: LG OLED G5 65"
