Quick Verdict

Winner: Samsung 65 Inch Neo QLED 8K with Mini LED QN990F Glare Free AI Smart TV

Its superior resolution, refresh rate, and audio output make it the better choice for most users.

Key Differences

  • Resolution: Samsung offers 8K resolution compared to LG's 4K.
  • Refresh Rate: Samsung's 120Hz is double LG's 60Hz.
  • Audio Output: Samsung provides a more powerful 60W audio output, compared to LG's 20W.

Design & Build

Both TVs boast a sleek, modern design fitting for contemporary living spaces. The LG's NanoCell technology and Samsung's Neo QLED with Mini LED technology promise thin profiles and durable builds. Aesthetically, both are visually appealing, but Samsung's anti-glare feature might edge it out for practicality in bright rooms.

Performance

In terms of image quality, Samsung's 8K resolution provides crisper, more detailed images than LG's 4K, especially noticeable on the 65-inch screen. The higher refresh rate of Samsung enhances smoothness in fast-moving scenes, making it superior for gaming and action-packed movies. LG's alpha 7 AI Processor 4K Gen8 ensures good upscaling and processing, but Samsung's Neo Quantum Processor 8K takes performance a step further with more advanced upscaling and image processing capabilities.
