Summary
The consensus pick for best picture quality in 2025-2026, winning CNET's Lab Award for Best Color Accuracy. Bright enough for most rooms, with Dolby Vision support that rival Samsung OLEDs lack.
The best TV for daytime or well-lit room viewing, with near-zero reflections and excellent picture quality. CNET calls it 'the ultimate TV for movies or gaming fans who like to watch during the day.'
Pros
- Best color accuracy of any TV tested in 2025 — CNET Labs Award winner
- Dolby Vision support, which Samsung's rival S90/S95 series lacks
- Next-gen OLED brightness meets or beats any TV tested by Wired
- Outstanding contrast and near-perfect screen uniformity
- Best-in-class anti-reflection coating — effectively 'bans' reflections per CNET
- Excellent QD-OLED picture quality with vivid, accurate color
- Strong performer for both movies and gaming
- Prices have come down making it more competitive
Cons
- Premium pricing puts it out of reach for budget shoppers
- OLED panels can suffer burn-in with static content over time
- Larger sizes can be very expensive compared to LCD alternatives
- No Dolby Vision support — uses HDR10+ instead
- Still pricier than LCD alternatives at comparable sizes
- Some Reddit users report LG G5 looks noticeably better in direct comparison
Our take
If budget isn't the primary concern, the G5 is simply the best TV you can buy right now — real owners on Reddit and lab testers at CNET both agree, which almost never happens.
If your living room gets a lot of sunlight and you can't control glare, the S95F's anti-reflection technology is genuinely game-changing — it solves the one real weakness of OLED.
