LG OLED vs Samsung RGB: I tested the two brands' latest flagship TVs side-by-side using reference 4K Blu-ray scenes — here's which one came out on top

In a recent test, LG's G6 OLED was pitted against Samsung's R95H, a flagship Micro RGB TV, to determine which device delivered superior performance. Both TVs were evaluated using reference 4K Blu-ray scenes from AV testing.

Brightness proved to be a strong suit for LG's OLED, with the G6 reaching an impressive 3,004 nits in Filmmaker Mode, a significant improvement over previous models. This brightness also extended to fullscreen HDR, reaching 451 nits. In comparison, Samsung's R95H peaked at 1,977 nits in Filmmaker Mode and 612 nits in fullscreen HDR.

For real-world viewing, the LG G6 OLED demonstrated more punchy highlights and brightness, particularly in scenes with vibrant colors like those found in Speed Racer. The brighter whites of snow in the Spears & Munsil UHD Benchmark 4K Blu-ray also had a stronger impact on the G6. While the R95H excelled in eliminating mirror-like reflections, the G6's anti-reflective screen effectively reduced reflections without sacrificing black tones.

In terms of color, the LG G6 OLED outperformed the Samsung R95H by delivering deeper colors and a richer color volume. The G6 also exhibited more vivid and saturated colors, particularly in animated scenes, while the R95H offered a more neutral and realistic color profile.
