The latest OLED TV innovations for 2022 are three series of TVs.\u00a0These are Sony A95K, LG G2 and Samsung S95B.\u00a0Among them, Sony A95K and Samsung S95B have QD-OLED technology, which appeared in 2022 for the first time.\u00a0As for the LG G2 with an OLED evo panel, we first encountered this combination in 2021.<\/p>\n

However, the\u00a0LG G1\u00a0OLED evo was not equipped with a heatsink, which should add a noticeable amount of brightness.\u00a0In this regard, we can assume that we have 3 OLED TVs with updated technology.\u00a0In this article, we will try to compare\u00a0the Samsung S95B\u00a0,\u00a0LG G2\u00a0and\u00a0Sony A95K\u00a0in a few different ways.\u00a0After that, everyone will decide for themselves which 2022 OLED TV to buy for their needs.<\/p>\n

Best OLED TV of 2022<\/h2>\n

The LG G1 and\u00a0Sony A90J\u00a0were two of the best OLED TVs available in 2021.\u00a0Unsurprisingly, these TV makers didn’t stop there.\u00a0In 2022, Samsung joined them with the new S95B series featuring\u00a0QD-OLED\u00a0technology .\u00a0What is the difference between these three models, and what should I pay attention to?<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

The G2 wins with new elegant sophistication and LG’s signature Gallery wall design.\u00a0The frame around the screen is reduced to 6 mm.\u00a0The former beveled sides are now smoother.\u00a0All this makes the G2 even more elegant and futuristic than its predecessor.<\/p>\n

LG has also switched to a new composite fiber material to connect the screen to the soundbar.\u00a0Weight reduced by 6 kg compared to OLED65G1.\u00a0This makes the latter design even more suitable for wall mounting.\u00a0As in 2021, the G2 does not include a stand.\u00a0The TV is wall-mounted.<\/p>\n

The Sony A95K features an extremely thin screen with black bezels, giving the TV a sophisticated, understated elegance.\u00a0The A95K can be hung on a wall, although it’s not as designed for it as the G2.\u00a0The Samsung S95B’s frameless design, dubbed “4 Bezel-less”, can also be hung on the wall, just like the A95K.<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h3>\n

The main innovation in the G2 series is that a heatsink has been added to the configuration of last year’s Evo G1 series, giving increased brightness.\u00a0This will allow the G2 to run even brighter without increasing its susceptibility to screen burn-in.\u00a0Heat is the main hazard for OLED TV burn-in.<\/p>\n

The absorption of this heat contributes to an increase in brightness.\u00a0As a result, the G2 should deliver some of the most impressive and accurate high dynamic range (HDR) images we’ve ever seen in an OLED TV.\u00a0The Sony A95K and Samsung S95B use a brand new OLED technology based on the Quantum Dot color system.<\/p>\n

Previously, quantum dots have only been used in LCD TVs, including Samsung’s famous QLED TVs.\u00a0Thus, we have a confrontation between a conventional WOLED TV and TVs with a QD-OLED system.\u00a0QD-OLED uses a blue OLED that shines its light onto the red and green layers of quantum dots.<\/p>\n

Removing the white pixel element from the mix allows QD-OLED to potentially deliver richer, purer, and brighter colors.\u00a0In theory, QD-OLED TVs should have a wider color gamut.\u00a0However, in order to see this difference, films must also be shot with an expanded color gamut.<\/p>\n

Sony also claims that the A95K delivers better viewing angles, despite the fact that conventional OLED displays have never had a problem in this regard.\u00a0As for the Samsung S95B series, unlike its two competitors, this series does not have a heatsink that increases the peak brightness.<\/p>\n

We will not describe the processors that these three models are equipped with.\u00a0Let’s just say that LG focuses more on trying to recreate the image as it was originally.\u00a0Sony is more interested in making images look closer to how our eyes see the real world.<\/p>\n

Another intriguing feature is the Sony A95K’s Bravia camera.\u00a0There is no such camera on either the LG G2 or the Samsung S95B.\u00a0This magnetic mount camera can control your viewing position, taking into account how close you are to the screen, and adjust the image brightness accordingly for a better viewing experience.<\/p>\n

Game Mode<\/h3>\n

In this regard, the G2 has another big functional advantage over the A95K.\u00a0All four of its HDMI 2.1 inputs support the full range of advanced gaming features.\u00a0It’s 4K\/120Hz, variable refresh rate, and low-latency automatic mode switching.<\/p>\n

Of the four HDMI ports, the Sony A95K has only two such ports that support these functions.\u00a0As for the S95B, it also has four HDMI 2.1 ports.\u00a0However, the S95B series only supports frequencies up to 120Hz.\u00a0Another advantage of the LG G2 in gaming mode is the availability of HDR Gaming.<\/p>\n

Sony and Samsung do not have such a standard.\u00a0On the other hand, there are not so many games that support HDR Gaming yet.\u00a0As for the rest of the HDR standards, LG and Sony have Dolby Vision, while Samsung is content with HDR10+ only.\u00a0LG G2 TVs have a feature that automatically reduces peak brightness slightly when in Game Mode.<\/p>\n

This is necessary so that when using the TV in game mode for a long time, the screen does not burn out.\u00a0Sony A95K and Samsung S95B do not have this feature.\u00a0It is possible that TVs with QD-OLED technology do not suffer from burn-in at all.\u00a0However, their panels also have organic LEDs.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, LG provides a 5-year warranty on all of its latest OLED TVs to replace the panel free of charge if the panel gets burnt in the meantime.\u00a0This of course does not mean that the work on replacing this panel will be free.\u00a0However, Sony A95K and Samsung S95B do not provide such a guarantee either.<\/p>\n

Sound quality<\/h3>\n

The A95K series TVs look like they have more in the audio segment than the G2 and S95B.\u00a0First, Sony continues to work with\u00a0Acoustic Surface\u00a0technology , which has been exclusive to Sony’s OLED displays for several years.\u00a0Drives located behind the OLED panel cause the TV screen to play sound.<\/p>\n

\"Sony

As a result, the sound is transmitted with effect.\u00a0This is not the effect of the rear-mounted speakers you find on most modern TVs.\u00a0The Acoustic Surface typically provides a very open, smooth mid-range and can also make sounds track the position of “noisy” objects on the screen as they move across the screen.<\/p>\n

As you might expect, the A95K gets two 20W drives that have been optimized for the new QD-OLED panel.\u00a0They work together with two 10W subwoofers to boost the bass.\u00a0The G2 OLED uses a more standard audio system, with speakers built into the TV’s sleek body.<\/p>\n

The built-in speaker system in the Samsung S95B has 2.2.2 sound.\u00a0It consists of six speakers of 10 watts each.\u00a0Each of the TVs in question supports\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0audio , and also has a system for mixing stereo audio tracks so they sound more three-dimensional and Atmos-like.<\/p>\n

However, it should be noted that only the A95K can play DTS formats.\u00a0This TV also has IMAX Enhanced technology.\u00a0Flagship OLED models from LG and Samsung lack these features.<\/p>\n

Price and range of diagonals<\/h3>\n

The LG G2 will be available from spring 2022 in 55, 65, 77, 83, and 97-inch screen sizes.\u00a0That is, the 97-inch G2 OLED TV is a novelty that opens up new possibilities for OLED offerings.\u00a0Model range of Sony A95K, as well as Samsung S95B is limited to 55 and 65 inches only.<\/p>\n

Since Sony and Samsung do not have other models, we will give approximate prices for 55 and 65 diagonals, which are known at the time of this writing.\u00a0LG OLED55G2 is expected to cost $2300 and LG OLED65G2 $3000.\u00a0The starting price of the Samsung QN55S95B is $2200, while the Samsung QN65S95B will sell for $3000.\u00a0As for the prices of Sony models, the price of Sony XR-555X95K is $3000, and Sony XR-65X95K is $4000.<\/p>\n

Which OLED TV to buy in 2022<\/h2>\n

To answer this question, you must first ask the question, how will you use it?\u00a0If you need a TV mainly for gaming, then you won\u2019t find a better option than the LG G2 today.\u00a0If you need a TV with a diagonal other than 55 and 65 inches, then you should not consider QD-OLED TVs that do not have other diagonals in their range.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the LG G2 doesn’t have the same peak brightness as QD-OLED TVs.\u00a0In other words, at high brightness levels, it cannot display vibrant colors perfectly.\u00a0Instead, it boosts the white level.\u00a0In addition, the LG G2 is less calibrated from the factory than the A95K and S95B.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung
Samsung S95B<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among the three competitors, the A95K has enhanced audio performance and is likely to have the highest peak brightness.\u00a0But if you look at the prices, this is the most expensive TV of the three considered in this article.<\/p>\n

The LG G2 and Samsung S95B are about the same price.\u00a0However, Samsung is going to sell its S95B TVs at a price slightly lower than LG G2 TVs.\u00a0And this is also not an unimportant factor.\u00a0And which OLED TV of these three would you buy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
