Who Wins the TV Battle? LG or Samsung?
Ah, the age-old debate: LG or Samsung? If you’re about to dive into the TV shopping realm, the plethora of 2023 models might feel like being lost in a techno-jungle. Fret not! Put down that consolation coffee, and let’s dissect this tangle between two titans of television tech.
Hailing from the same homeland, South Korea, LG and Samsung are like the Messi and Ronaldo of the TV world. Both eyeing the goalpost of dominance, they’ve been neck-to-neck, not just on their home turf but also on the vast plains of the US and UK markets. And just like our football legends, they both have their moments of magic and occasional trips (no VAR here, though).
Both employ fantastic smart platforms: LG’s webOS squares up against Samsung’s Tizen. On the face of it, they’re like doppelgängers, flaunting horizontal menu bars, chic streaming icons, and customizable aesthetics. Yet, LG’s webOS 23 new Home and ThinQ AI give it a slight edge. Its search capabilities, per the tech pundits, are a tad more robust than Tizen’s. And well, Google Assistant in LG’s OLED TVs does make Samsung’s Bixby look like it missed a few software classes.
On the visual front, 2023 saw LG celebrating 10 years as the world’s No.1 OLED TV brand, introducing the OLED evo. Imagine a maestro conducting an orchestra – that’s LG’s OLED evo for you. It lights itself up, ditches the traditional backlight, and ensures unparalleled clarity, contrast, and color in every frame. The power to govern individual pixels? It turns blacks into voids and bright lights into fairy tales.
Meanwhile, Samsung introduced the Neo QLED 8K. With a quantum dot brilliance, it plays the colour spectrum like a virtuoso. While OLEDs are dark magic, Samsung’s Neo QLED ensures every frame is crisp, colorful, and incredibly detailed, even if occasionally, in the symphony of darks and lights, it might hit a slightly off note. That said, unless you’re squinting at them side-by-side with a magnifying glass, both are sensational to the layman’s eye.
Now, both brands aren’t shy to sprinkle innovation generously, from budget-friendly to the lavish top-tier models. You, dear consumer, can revel in smart tech, 4K, and even 8K, without breaking the bank. The trajectory? Skyward! Both LG and Samsung are on a relentless quest for the next big thing in TV tech. So, in the end, it’s not about who wins but how this battle benefits us, the audience.
