65-Inch and Larger TVs: Samsung Gains Ground in Pricing
Although an LG model earns top marks in testing with a score of 81/100, Samsung is clearly winning the price war with a television nearly 600 euros less expensive.
It’s important to note that both models represent excellent quality. What justifies the 600 euro premium for the LG television?
LG offers a slightly superior picture (contrast, color accuracy and uniformity, deep blacks), which could be a deciding factor for discerning film enthusiasts.
The LG television delivers optimal picture quality regardless of viewing angle. This is a significant consideration for those with larger living rooms where multiple viewers are frequently watching the screen simultaneously.
- Intuitive WebOS Interface
For users who heavily rely on apps and Smart TV navigation, LG’s WebOS is often considered more intuitive and responsive, impacting the daily user experience. However, 2025 models received slightly lower ratings due to LG removing the mute button and color buttons.
- A “Gallery” Wall Mount
If a clean, integrated wall installation is desired – with no space between the wall and the panel – the LG (particularly the “G” series) is the preferred choice. The television is designed for this purpose and the wall mount is included.
For consumers seeking a high-end television without significant compromises, but at a more reasonable price, the Samsung model is a strong contender.
