Samsung QA65S90CAWXXY
The LG OLED65C9PTA and Samsung QA65S90CAWXXY are both premium 65-inch OLED TVs designed for users who want exceptional picture quality, smooth motion, and advanced smart features. Both models deliver true OLED contrast, Dolby Atmos audio, and 4K resolution with 120Hz refresh rates. However, Samsung's newer S90C brings a more powerful processor, higher gaming refresh rate support up to 144Hz, and a richer gaming feature set. The LG C9 remains a strong choice thanks to Dolby Vision support, excellent AI-powered picture processing, and a feature-rich webOS platform. Choosing between them depends largely on whether your priority is cinematic viewing or next-generation gaming.
Verdict
The Samsung QA65S90CAWXXY is the stronger overall TV for most buyers. Its newer OLED panel technology, 144Hz gaming support, FreeSync Premium, Gaming Hub, and Neural Quantum Processor 4K make it a better long-term investment for gamers and performance-focused users.
The LG OLED65C9PTA remains an excellent option for movie enthusiasts thanks to Dolby Vision HDR support, outstanding black levels, and a mature smart TV ecosystem. If gaming is a priority, Samsung has the edge; for Dolby Vision content lovers, LG is still highly appealing.
