FAQ

Does the Samsung S95B support Dolby Vision?

No. Samsung exclusively supports HDR10+ and has never licensed Dolby Vision. If you watch Netflix or Disney+ in Dolby Vision, the LG C2 is the better choice.

Is QD-OLED brighter than W-OLED?

Yes. The Samsung S95B QD-OLED reaches about 1000 nits peak in small highlights versus roughly 800 nits on the LG C2. For very bright rooms the S95B has a real advantage.

Which TV has better burn-in resistance?

Both use OLED and carry burn-in risk with static content. LG C2 has a dedicated pixel cleaning cycle. Samsung S95B QD-OLED has shown slightly better burn-in tests, but both are fine for varied viewing over 5+ years.
