LG G4 SPECIFICATION
• Screen size 65in, also available in 55in, 77in, 83in, 97in Type MLA OLED
• HDMI inputs x4 HDMI 2.148Gbps
• Dimensions (hwd, without stand) 145 x 84 x 5.7cm
The G4 and S95D are two of the most exciting TVs we will see this year, and now we have reviewed both, we can advise on which is right for you.
The S95D features a third-generation QD-OLED screen panel, which is Samsung’s brightest yet. It also has a higher refresh rate than last year’s S95C, and a proprietary picture quality engine.
But LG has reasons to feel confident. With a new processor, MLA tech and new features, the G4 has put some real distance between it and the step-down C4. With different operating systems and prices, picking one won’t be easy. Let’s see which you should buy.
LG G4 vs Samsung S95D: price
There’s really not much to choose between these two when it comes to price. The S95D’s launch price was a little higher in the UK but it has already dropped by a few hundred pounds at Samsung itself, and you can bet there will be plenty of deals around elsewhere. The G4 does come in a 83in model, which the S95D doesn’t, but remember, these two brands are often heavily discounted come sale time, so keep a look out around Amazon Prime Day etc.
WINNER: Draw
LG G4 vs Samsung S95D: design
The G4 might not look like much of a change from the G3, but there is one rather large improvement: a stand. The G3 was designed purely for wall-mounting, but LG now bundles a pedestal stand with the 55- and 65in versions of the G4. The larger models come with the Zero Gap Wall Mount – a bracket designed to sit the TV flush against your wall. The stand is a bit wobbly (especially on the higher setting), but it still gives the smaller models much more mainstream appeal.
