Interestingly in the poll below it people would prefer the Samsung though! :wall:

70 per cent say Samsung! 40 per cent LG! :O

Yep, I voted LG. 🙂. I thought you might vote for the Samsung. 🙂

I'm sure there's a legitimate reason why those two figures don't add up to 100%.

Okay, it might have been 30 per cent LG or close enough.

To what extent might screen size have influenced the vote?

Could do I suppose, people would like bigger TVs but in reality can only have smaller ones. What about price too? The LG is more expensive size for size but at 65 inches it's more expensive. This website is French too that might influence the vote too?

I'm sure the vote was influenced by many factors, including the ones referenced above.

Branding might be worth mentioning, too. Samsung is the market leader, while LG arguably isn't recognised as a quality brand in the same way. (I don't mean that Samsung necessarily makes the best TVs, but that Samsung is consistently the most popular television manufacturer.)

Then there are factors like calibration (DigitalVersus reviewers have the equipment to calibrate greyscale, etc., but usually only take measurements rather than correcting errors); and viewing conditions (the photograph shows both TVs with a fair amount of ambient light in the room, which wouldn't allow the LG to show off its superior native contrast).

The oled on the left you can clearly see the candles while the samsung on the right is washed out and you can't see the candles.

I actually prefer the Samsung in the photo

With its overblown whites and, by the looks of things, light pooling in the bottom left hand corner (this could be down to the pause icon, but still shows up certain difficulties when using edge lighting to illuminate a large screen).

You can't tell that much from a photograph anyway. The Samsung's apparently overblown whites may be a product of camera exposure, though the LG doesn't seem to suffer in the same way.

Trying to compare how a screen looks from a photograph is like listening to high quality audio on a telephone.

The tests themselves were not scientific as it does not say if either tv was calibrated or even what mode they were in..........so a bit of a none runner i'm afraid.

Its not the photo thats the problem its the tvs setup

The led has contrast.set really high i would guess85/90out of 100 giving a false.sharper edge making it look more standout

I have already commented on the oled - thats got maximum detail crush in the blacks which ruins the rest. Setup truely awfuly

Yeah, I don't know why they don't set them up properly! :wall:

Wasn't that one of the criticisms of last year's LG OLED model -- that blacks were crushed slightly, even post-calibration?

I don't know why this would be. Perhaps this is something peculiar to LG's WOLED technology, at least at this stage of development.

In any case, it seems little effort was made to show either TV performing optimally.

 

[simonlewis]

Not sure where to post this but generally what light conditions do you view tvs in, light or dark ???

 

[simonlewis]

In the shops i mean, do you go somewhere like john lewis where the they have a bright showroom floor or to a private independant store where it's a little darker or doesn't it matter. :?

i didn't notice that the first time, what I did notice was the extra detail in the chairs right arm that you can see on the Samsung but not the lg.

this may be due to incorrect setup and to dark on the lg and two bright on the Samsung?

i try both if I can

Source is quite important too, in an independent store they will show Blu-rays normally but John Lewis will normally show the same thing on most of their TVs. Bright and darker rooms can make a difference, on my TV I just have night settings on all the time now. I am not sure how big a difference it makes though, I think it depends what you are looking for too.

Yep, same here.

Yep, it was - strange!
