All You Need: 2025 Samsung QN95D vs TCL C855K vs LG C4 4K Premium TV comparison

In my normal videos I tend to give my final thoughts right at the end but I'm going to spice up things so I'm going to give you my final thoughts right now so that way you don't have to wait all the way to the end of the video to understand which TV is the best. However, if you want to know how I came up to that conclusion then you are more than welcome to stick around or in fact skip using the timestamps in the description. So let me quickly tell you which one is the best TV. Picture quality, all of these TVs are amazing. So I'm going to give a star, star, star. Okay, you've got that. Now the second part that I'm going to give you is that their usability. Is it easy to use? Yes, for that reason. Yes, for that reason. Yes, for that reason. Another thing that I'm going to note is that is it really value for money because they do come with a different price range. Okay, so for that reason I'm going to give all of my stars to this one. Has the best value for money. All right, so now you've got all of that, you know which TV is the best. This one wins out of all the three TVs that's currently available. So you want to find out a little bit more and the reasons how I came to that final conclusion? Stick around. In this video we don't have just one TV or two. We've got three TVs in the So I don't have the Sony Bravia 8 yet. So if you're interested in that TV stay tuned. But in this video I've got the LG, I've got the TCL and I've got the Samsung QN95D flagship TV. So three of these TVs are top-notch premium TVs that's currently trending in 2024, moving on to 2025. So can you guess which one's which? I don't think you can. The first thing that we're going to talk about is the display. So obviously all of these three TVs are 4k. OLED TVs are one of the best TVs in the market and it has been one of my favorite. But we've got two mini LED QLED TV in the building. So is it going to stack up really well in comparison to the OLED? We're going to talk you through a little bit about the panel itself, how the image is going to portray it in the real life domestic house use. So I'm going to show you one by one and then I'm going to put all three TVs side by side so you can understand which TV is best fit for you. Obviously it's very important to have a TV that has a really high refresh rate and straight up the Samsung QN95D plus the TCL C855K have the variable refresh rate 144 hertz whereas the LG comes with a native 120 hertz. With that topic in mind, obviously refresh rate is really good when it comes to gaming. It is a mandatory for 2024 TVs to have a capability such as gaming mode and it does have a gaming mode. So if you're a hardcore fan gamer then one of these TVs definitely is going to tick your box because all these three TVs have a beautiful gaming mode and you have the ability to change it from certain modes in order to suit your needs. The picture engine that drives the LG is the A9 AI processor 4k gen 7 whereas the TCL it is AIPQ pro processor and the Samsung comes with the NQ4 AI gen 2 processor. So that's quite mouthful but there you go you've got all of the processor that drives the picture engine of all these three TVs. Now when it comes to the peak brightness the TCL comes at the top notch because it has that 3300 nits and the local dimming again the LG has not been published how much is the local dimming because it's an OLED so it has pixel dimming whereas the TCL has 1344 zones. Another feature that's welcomed is that all these three TVs they have AI upscaling meaning that if you are watching a HD video or anything below HD it will have the ability to use the AI system to upscale the image quality to a 4k standard. It's not going to be native 4k because it's not true 4k but it will upscale it. Now the operating software for the LG is WebOS 24. The TCL comes with our favorite operating software which is the Google TV and the Samsung comes with a Tzen smart TV. So that again depending on which side you sit on the fence you might be inclined to a Tzen or the Google TV like myself or in fact you might be a little bit more interested into the WebOS 24. Again looking at the interface for the LG it looks very clattered it has so much information likewise the same with the Tzen it has so much information here whereas Google the apps are there you can download any apps that's missing from the Google TV just like any smartphone and you could actually customize it to suit your need whereas the Samsung and the LG comes a really plain standard for the last five years. Another segment for you to consider is the audio quality. So obviously I'm not that close to the TV so obviously you're not going to be attached to the TV so you're going to be a distance away which is something like this or a little bit further. So we're going to quickly play then we're going to go to maybe 35%. Okay take a note of this area. All right I don't know if you can see the text the numbers that's currently been written on the TV here on his notepad. I don't know if the camera can do any justice but I can actually read the numbers. So that says 550 minus or hyphen seven six five something something. Okay I can see the numbers there. We're going to do the same to the TCL. Obviously this is actually reading the clarity of the picture quality. So we're doing two things in one in fact. So we're doing audio we're also doing the image quality. So we're going to crank it up. Okay up to 35. Okay this is the part that I was referring to earlier again. I don't know if the camera can do any justice. The numbers earlier I was referring to they're right there. Okay 550 hyphen seven six five four eight something. Okay obviously the camera angle has a huge difference. I don't know if you can see those or those. Now we're going to see if the LG can do any better. We're going to crank up the volume. Right so moment of truth. If we look at the numbers again. I don't know if you can see the numbers here. Guys, people at the back of the keyboard let me know in the comments section. Can you see those numbers? All those numbers. All those ones. Now if you look at the picture you've got a little bit more warm here. This is a little bit more warm. Quite hot. A little bit cool here and a bit more cooler here. Okay so you've got three different temperature going on here. Which profile do you like? That depends on you. Going back to the main topic which was the sound quality test. The good thing with the LG it has AI enhancer. So the volume or the sound it's been enhanced by the AI. Okay so the AI puts that bass and extra things that is not really there. It enhances the audio. Now this is the remote I forgot to mention earlier for the Samsung. It has the USB type-c charger and it also has the solar. You can charge at the back using the sun. So this is really really nice thing to have. But these remotes are outdated to be honest because they've used this remote for over I don't know how many years and I've been reviewing Samsung TVs for donkey years. So I've seen this remote quite frequent. Whereas the LG likewise I reviewed. So this TV is the C4. I have reviewed the C1 in 2021. I'll leave a link in the description if you're interested in picking up a cheaper model. So that is also another option the C1. And this is the TCL. It has that titanium feel. Really nice clean look. I like how the buttons are here. It's like your smartphone. It's on the side. I'm just going to put the volume down. The LG comes with 40 watts the speakers. That's not a bad deal. But in comparison to the TCL it comes 60 watts. That's 20 watts more than the LG. And then now if you look at that on the other side. The TCL comes with 70 watts. It has eight speakers. So obviously the Samsung wins when it comes to the audio quality. The Samsung has a little bit more stronger audio. 70 watts is a huge difference compared to the 60 watts. And finally in comparison to the baby LG for example. You've got 40 watts. Okay so we've got the back of the TVs. All three of them laid side by side. So what we're going to do now is we're going to come closer. So that way I'm going to show you all of the ports that it comes with. All right so we're going to start with the LG. So you can see the profile at the back. It looks really nice and premium. The design looks amazing when it comes to the back. It's nice and flush. But there is this part here where the housing is protruding. And you can see that the speakers are right at the top here. So it fires up and it also fires downwards. One thing to note that is that it comes with a power cable attached permanently. So if you're wall mounting this is going to be a difficult for you. Because obviously you can't run it through the wall. So that's something for you to bear in mind. And all of the ports are on this side. Moving on to the TCL. So this is strip lights from Govee. I've attached them myself. But it does not come with the TV. However the profile again it looks nice compared to the LG. It's not so premium. But the profile looks amazing simply because it's all flat. It doesn't have anything protruding. And the speakers are firing upwards. So you've got two main speakers. It's Dolby Atmos. And you've also got the speakers from this side here. So the power cable is detachable. So nothing attached. So it's really easy to wall mount it. And you've got all of the ports on this side. So one thing I fall in love with this particular TV the TCL C855K is that it has a USB type A right in the corner here. Which we're going to show you a little bit later. So that USB it's like a monitor. You could have it on the side. Whereas none of these TVs have that port. All of the ports is aligned in one place. Whereas that one there you've got an easy access port for USB type A. Moving on to the Samsung. The profile again it's pretty much the same as the TCL. It's all flat. You can wall mount it. And also the cable. It goes in here. Your power cable. It is detachable. Same as the TCL. And as you can see it's all flat. It comes with a webcam here. Obviously you can use it as a work purpose. And you can have a FaceTime with your family member. All of the ports are on this side. So we're going to get a little bit closer. In terms of the speakers. You have four speakers down here. And you've got another four speakers down here. So you've got 70 watts speakers on the Samsung. You've got 60 watts speakers on the TCL. And you've got 40 watts speakers on the LG. So you can understand LG in terms of the sound is the lowest. The TCL second best. And the number one when it comes to the sound quality. The Samsung. However with the LG it has an AI system where it kind of enhances your audio. So once you've turned on the AI system. Then it would actually increase the bass where it's required. So the LG as I said earlier. We've got all of the ports right at the top here. You've got three USBs here. You've got four HDMI. Including EARC. You've got LAN. And additional output here. Including antennas. And IR blaster. Now we're going to move on to the TCL. And if we start right at the top. We've got USB 2.0. You've got LAN. HDMI. 4k EARC. 144 hertz for your gaming. And you've got two other HDMIs there. Further down you've got all of the antennas. Two HDMI at the bottom again. An optical out so you can see that. You do have a USB type A there. So I don't know if you can see it. I'm going to point it there. Now moving on to the Samsung QN95D. So there is two USB right at the top there. You've got HDMIs here. So all of the four HDMIs aligned. You've got your LAN and your antennas. And that's about it. Obviously viewing angle for the Samsung. You can see that it's on an angle here. Likewise if you want to watch the TCL from this angle or the LG. You can see that the quality difference slightly different. The brightness you can see straight away the TCL is winning here in comparison to the OLED. And that is expected. What really matters is between these two TVs. They're both QD mini LED TVs. And look at the contrast between these two now. Okay now moving on. The LG looks really crisp. The TCL looks nice. But the Samsung is falling behind. Now I've asked you to guess which one is the most expensive out of the three TVs. You've got the QN95D. That comes with over two thousand. So it's priced at £2,299. You've got the TCL £1,299. And you've got the £1,899 LG. So the C4 is the mid. The TCL C855 is the lower price range. And the Samsung QN95D is the most expensive. Okay friends there's lots of things I've said. And there's few things that I've not covered such as the mirror cast and the picture settings of the TVs. To summarize it's really clear which TV is the winner. Best value for money. The TCL C855K is an incredible machine. Don't get me wrong the other two TVs are also worth the money. But to my opinion I am inclined towards the TCL simply because it is budget friendly and the quality output it is pretty much the same as the other TVs. Either ways all three TVs are fantastic and I can definitely recommend them. You won't be disappointed. Look out for the best deals at the time that you're watching this video. So that way you can actually make an informed decision. Now if you want to watch in-depth review between the Samsung QN95D and the TCL C855K I'll leave a link up here. Till next time I'll see you there.
