The Samsung S95D and the LG G4 are both on sale — which deal is better?

By

The Samsung S95D and LG G4 are two of the best TVs you can buy in 2024, and they’re both on sale at Best Buy today! Right now you can purchase the Samsung 65-inch S95D for $2,900, and the LG 65-inch G4 for $3,000. 

We put both of these sets head to head, and had a pretty hard time choosing a favorite. That being said, let’s look at why these two sets are great, and what types of households would benefit most from each chart-topping TV.

QD-OLED TVs started hitting the market a few years ago, with Samsung and Sony leading the charge on this tech. The S95D is Samsung’s latest and greatest foray into QD-OLED territory, and it’s not just because of picture quality! That being said, we definitely want to start by praising how dang good this TV looks in pretty much any room. Thanks to the Pantone-validated display and image enhancement tools like OLED HDR Pro and Samsung’s brilliant 4K upscaling, the S95D delivers both a bright and colorful picture that stands up well against any type of glare.

Calling all gamers! The S95D includes four HDMI 2.1 ports. Whether you’re firing up a PS5 or hooking up your S95D to a gaming PC, you can expect blistering-fast response times, VRR support, and up to a 144Hz refresh rate. 

Other noteworthy features include Samsung’s Q-Symphony tech for linking a Samsung soundbar wirelessly to the TV, and Samsung’s Smart TV Hub (powered by Tizen OS). And while Dolby Vision support is missing, Samsung’s HDR peak brightness brings a lot of “wow factor” to the table, according to our own Editor at Large Caleb Denison.

The LG G4 OLED, in the opinion of our expert TV review team, is the best OLED set overall. Mind you, this is a company that’s been perfecting OLED tech for the last several years; and it doesn’t seem like LG will be introducing QD-OLED any time soon. That being said, the G4 delivers one of the brightest and most colorful OLED picture we’ve ever seen. Not only do we have the company’s a11 AI Processor to thank, but features like Brightness Booster Max allow the G4 to shine as brightly as many competitive QLED sets.

Again, our editor Caleb Denison picked the G4 Series overall when he pitted it against the S95D, but it was a close race. With the G4, you can say goodbye to digital tiling and most other signal maladies. Plus, HDMI 2.1 certification on all four ports means smooth motion and lag-free gaming.

It’s hard to say just how long this promo is going to last, though our past experience with Best Buy deals has us believing it’ll be gone by week’s end. That being said, now is the best time to save on both sets: That’s $500 off the Samsung 65-inch S95D, and $400 off the LG 65-inch G4 OLED.

Want to invest in one of the best TV picture technologies? We bet you’ve heard of QLED and OLED sets, but now there are QD-OLEDs to contend with! Bringing the power of quantum dot-enhanced colors and hard-hitting HDR performance to the table, along with near-infinite contrast ratios, it’s hard to beat this kind of picture quality. These models can be a bit on the pricey side, but if you know where to look for TV deals, you can sometimes score a nice discount. 

Such is the case today with this amazing offer we found on the Samsung S90D: When you purchase the 77-inch version of this TV through Best Buy, you’ll spend $3,000, which is $700 off the TV’s full price.

For those unaware, one of the best types of TVs you can buy these days is a QD-OLED. Made popular by brands like Samsung and Sony, these award-winning displays combine the self-emissive technology of traditional OLEDs with quantum dots. The end result: Colors and contrast like you’ve never seen before. And thanks to quantum dot tech, these TVs can get pretty bright too, which isn’t something we’d normally say about these kinds of OLED TV deals. 

As mentioned, Samsung is one of the driving forces behind this picture tech, and right now, the company is offering huge markdowns on one of its best TVs for 2023: the Samsung S90C Series. Each and every size of this model is discounted, but we’re not sure for how long.

The LG C4 OLED TV has a $900 discount in Best Buy’s Summer Sale
LG C4 OLED

The LG C4 OLED TV was just released earlier this year, but this excellent screen is already available with a discount from at Best Buy. The 65-inch model, which is originally priced at $2,700, is offered with a $900 discount that pulls its price all the way down to $1,800. It's still not what you'd call affordable, but that's a steal for TV deals of this size and caliber. The event ends in a few days, but you're going to want to complete your purchase as soon as you can because only limited quantities of the OLED TV are up for sale.

Why you should buy the 65-inch LG C4 OLED TV
The LG C4 OLED TV is one of the latest models from one of the best TV brands known for its OLED technology. The TV's organic light-emitting diodes eliminate the need for a backlight as they each generate their own light, enabling one of the most important advantages of OLED TVs -- the capability to create perfect black levels when the OLED pixels are turned off. The LG C4 OLED TV combines this with 4K Ultra HD resolution for sharp details and vivid colors, support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for a cinematic experience in your living room, and the webOS 24 platform for access to streaming shows and movies.
