The LG G5 and Samsung S95F are the best OLED TVs of 2025, and both deliver exceptional picture quality. They take different approaches, though, and each wins in a different kind of room.
For most rooms, the Samsung S95F. Its matte screen essentially eliminates glare, its color is exceptionally rich, and RTINGS finds it the more versatile TV.
For a dark home theater with Dolby Vision, the LG G5 (about $1,600 at 65"). It's slightly brighter in HDR, has better processing, and costs less, though RTINGS noted some dark-scene artifacts.
| LG G5 | Samsung S95F | |
|---|---|---|
| Panel | WOLED | QD-OLED |
| Screen finish | Glossy | Matte anti-glare |
| Max refresh rate | 165Hz | 165Hz |
| HDR formats | Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG | HDR10+, HDR10, HLG |
| HDMI 2.1 ports | 4 | 4 (on the One Connect box) |
| Smart platform | LG webOS | Samsung Tizen |
| 65" price | ~$1,600 | ~$2,200 |
These are the 2025 flagship OLEDs from LG and Samsung, and both deliver exceptional picture quality. RTINGS calls them both fantastic, gives each a clear edge in a different room, and ultimately finds the LG hard to recommend over the Samsung.
The S95F's one trade-off: its matte coating makes blacks look slightly gray in a very bright room. It still looks incredible in the dark.
The S95F is the more versatile TV and the one we'd buy for most rooms, especially any room with windows or lamps.
Worth knowing: no Dolby Vision, so Netflix and Disney+ content plays in HDR10 instead.
