This comparison was built from a structured review of official product documentation, published specifications, current pricing, and feature documentation — the same methodology ToolStep describes on the /how-we-test/ page. Because we did not run these products hands-on, we do not claim testing that did not happen.

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.
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.
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.
