Samsung’s QD OLED panel beats LG’s OLED TVs

Samsung has been planning to enter the market with OLED televisions for a long time. After relying on QLED panels for a long time and repeatedly comparing them with OLED TVs, they are finally entering the market with OLED televisions. LG is currently the market leader there. But that won’t stay that way if you look at the first independent test results of the QD OLED panel from Samsung (source: Samsung).

There, the QD OLED panel from Samsung sometimes clearly beats current OLED Evo models from LG. The latest OLED TV from LG achieves a maximum brightness of 846 nits, while the model from Samsung comes to 1,000 nits. The Samsung panel is also significantly better in terms of color. LG covers the DCI-P3 color space with 99 percent, Samsung comes with 120 percent – has Notebookcheck collected.

The Sony A95K will be one of the first televisions to be launched with the Samsung QD OLED panel. Samsung itself will of course also be releasing its own TVs with the QD OLED display. LG will probably follow suit with the OLED.EX panels, but they still have to wait some time. With this, Samsung wins the crown with the first OLED panel for televisions. Customers now have a lot more choice if they want a really good OLED TV.

For example, Philips uses Ambilight. Nevertheless, Samsung’s entry into the OLED market is important because it creates more competition and LG has to work harder to regain the crown.
