Ranked #4 in Best OLED TVs
LG G5 OLED
8 sources$1,799as of Sep 4

The LG G5 OLED has earned CNET's Labs Award for Best Color Accuracy, marking a significant leap forward in OLED technology for 2025. Reviewers praised its exceptional brightness, which is 40% higher than previous models, and its superior color accuracy. While the extra brightness is most noticeable in gaming and well-mastered 4K content, it also improves performance in bright rooms. However, the remote control is considered a step back from earlier models, and the premium price point makes it less accessible for budget-conscious buyers. This TV is ideal for those seeking the absolute best picture quality and color accuracy, but those looking for maximum value might consider alternatives like the Samsung S90F.

Strengths
  • — Highest brightness of any OLED TV yet with 40% increase in light output
  • — Best color accuracy of any TV tested in 2025
  • — Stunning image quality with excellent shadow detail, contrast, and black levels
Watch-outs
  • — Remote is not as good as previous versions
  • — Expensive with roughly $600 premium over the 65-inch C5 model

The Samsung S95F OLED delivers the best picture quality tested, with breakthrough anti-glare technology that outperforms competitors like the LG G5 in bright-room viewing. CNET's Ty Pendlebury awarded it the Editors Choice Award, praising its superior gaming and bright room performance. The TV features a matte finish, upgraded processor, and four HDMI 2.1 ports, though it comes with a separate connection box that some find cumbersome. At $3,300 for the 65-inch model, it's a premium option best suited for those seeking top-tier OLED image quality in a glare-free design.

Strengths
  • — Best picture quality tested, with superior anti-glare system compared to other OLED TVs
  • — Reduces reflections better than other OLED TVs, especially in bright rooms
  • — Includes a separate One Connect box that requires cable routing and can be cumbersome for wall mounting

How they stack up

LG G5 OLED

The LG G5 OLED delivers the highest brightness and best color accuracy of any TV tested in 2025, outperforming the S95H OLED in color reproduction and the Samsung S90H OLED in brightness, but it's more expensive and has a less intuitive remote than the LG C5 Series. It surpasses the Sony Bravia 8 II Series in brightness but lacks the native 120Hz support.

Samsung S95F Series

The Samsung S95F Series delivers the best picture quality tested with superior anti-glare technology compared to the S95H OLED, but it's more expensive and includes a cumbersome One Connect box that the S90H OLED avoids. While it outperforms the Sony Bravia 8 II Series in glare reduction, it lacks the QD-OLED panel that provides native 120Hz support and better motion handling.
