Skip both if

Neither publishes peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports or VRR / ALLM yet.

Samsung QN65QN90A and LG OLED65C3PUA represent two distinct approaches to 65-inch 4K television design in the current lineup. Public specifications list the LG OLED65C3PUA with a confirmed 120 Hz panel, four HDMI 2.1 ports that support full 48 Gbps bandwidth, and native OLED contrast that reviewers consistently describe as delivering deep blacks without local-dimming artifacts. In contrast, the Samsung QN65QN90A relies on a Mini-LED backlight whose exact panel type. And peak brightness figures remain partially undisclosed by the manufacturer, prompting many owners to consult independent teardowns for clarity on its HDR performance and upscaling behavior. Review aggregates note that the LG model maintains more consistent motion handling. And color volume in side-by-side comparisons, while the Samsung set often requires additional calibration to match reported luminance levels. The short version: choose the LG OLED65C3PUA for transparent specifications. And ready-to-use HDMI features, or select the Samsung QN65QN90A only if you are prepared to verify details that the brand does not fully publish.

Verdict: Pick LG OLED65C3PUA if you need confirmed OLED picture quality, 120Hz refresh and a known price of $1,599.99. Pick Samsung QN65QN90A only if you prefer Samsung brand and are willing to research missing specs. Neither publishes peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports or VRR / ALLM yet.

LG OLED65C3PUA lists at $199.99 while Samsung QN65QN90A lists at $539.43 — LG OLED65C3PUA undercuts Samsung QN65QN90A by $339.44 (170%).
