Compare LG MRGB95B vs Samsung QN70H

The huge, vivid picture can be dazzling, especially after adjustment, but inconsistent accuracy and LCD limitations divide assessments.

Buyers are impressed by clarity and natural colors, but weaker contrast, HDR impact and motion keep the picture from competing with better-priced rivals.

HDR is spectacularly bright and colorful, but a few scenes need careful tuning and measured accuracy falls short of its visual punch.

Flat highlights and washed-out blacks prevent the HDR experience from feeling cinematic, despite decent tone tracking.

Explosive highlights, brilliant outdoor scenes and bright game effects are among the strongest reasons to want this television.

HDR highlights are consistently called too dim, so bright objects fail to pop above the rest of the picture.

The screen reaches extraordinary brightness that makes high-impact HDR and daytime viewing especially impressive.

The panel can serve moderate SDR lighting, but it lacks the peak output required for punchy HDR and bright-room use.

Compression artifacts and macroblocking are reduced effectively, but the smoothing can take a little fine texture away.

Heavy streaming compression and macroblocking remain visible; processing does little to clean up poor sources.

The best colors and contrast often require switching away from default presets and experimenting with many settings.

Filmmaker Mode is useful for accuracy, and Standard is an easy casual choice; settings can be fine-tuned to suit the room.

Strong contrast can make dark films striking, but occasional LCD haze, blooming and weak shadow detail prevent uniformly excellent nighttime viewing.

Raised blacks, blooming and clouding make the set a poor choice for serious dark-room cinema.

RGB backlighting can produce exceptional brightness and eye-catching colors, yet its LCD foundation still shows familiar contrast limitations.

Edge-lit Mini LED construction permits a thin body but delivers noticeably weaker local dimming than direct-lit alternatives.

Local dimming helps blacks stay deep and controls many halos, but fine objects against dark backgrounds still reveal the limits of zone-based lighting.

The bottom-edge lighting rarely improves black depth and often creates glow around bright elements instead.

Factory gray tones and white balance are significantly off, and color temperature can shift with scene brightness.

Default whites can look too green or warm, though calibration helps correct the balance.

The gallery display looks colorful but lacks convincing canvas texture and detail, making it less compelling as digital wall art.

Personal photos, decorative backgrounds and the Art Store make idle screens more attractive, although some premium art requires payment.

Deep blacks and bright highlights create impressive contrast for an LCD, but performance in tricky dark scenes does not consistently rival OLED.

Dark-scene contrast is the central picture problem: the edge-lit dimming adds little black depth and can wash out nighttime imagery.

Responsive controls and vibrant HDR scenes make games engaging, but one laboratory assessment found heavy motion blur and a laptop test exposed VRR trouble.

Owners enjoy colorful, sharp console gaming, but formal motion testing and missing premium features make this a weak high-end gaming television.

Careful picture presets can produce faithful-looking films, but significant factory color and HDR calibration errors keep accuracy inconsistent.

Calibration produces very faithful SDR color and brightness tracking, even though the hardware's contrast is limited.

Immense brightness keeps images vivid in rooms with large windows, although the glossy surface can reflect lights and nearby objects.

The TV manages ordinary bright scenes in modest daylight, but strong sunlight and glare can overwhelm it.

Built-in sound is serviceable and dialogue-forward, but the overall tonal range is only average and may warrant a soundbar.

Some owners are satisfied with the sound, but detailed listening and another hands-on evaluation find thin bass and limited impact.

Color is a point of contention: some scenes show remarkably natural skin tones, while measured factory SDR and HDR settings reveal major errors and color-temperature shifts.

Natural-looking colors and skin tones are bright spots; minor white-balance and color biases benefit from calibration.

Experiences differ dramatically: one hands-on test found smooth camera pans, while lab testing found motion consistently soft and smeared.

Movement quality draws mixed assessments, with controlled testing identifying substantial blur despite some acceptable broadcast results.

Controls feel immediate in game mode, supporting responsive console and PC play.

Game controls feel consistently responsive, especially when using 1080p/120Hz where supported.

Picture settings and unconventional remote shortcuts require patience, although the gaming dashboard makes some frequent adjustments straightforward.

Tizen's basic settings are approachable, although crowded menus and sparse remote buttons make some tasks needlessly involved.

Four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 connections make it practical to leave several consoles and a gaming PC connected simultaneously.

None of the HDMI ports offers full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, limiting connections to high-refresh 4K sources.

Near-black images show little visible vertical banding, and most of the dark screen stays remarkably even.

Dark gray and green gradients reveal visible contouring in one detailed picture test.

With local dimming enabled, blacks look exceptionally even across the panel, with few distracting patches.

Dark scenes can appear cloudy and patchy, although some near-black patterns remain relatively even.

Premium-looking blade feet hold the set securely and complement its understated styling.

The simple two-foot stand looks more basic than the pedestal fitted to the preceding generation.

Frame interpolation smoothly reduces film stutter without an obvious soap-opera effect at modest settings.

Judder reduction offers little useful smoothing and may introduce new artifacts, so leaving it off is often preferable.

VRR compatibility is extensive for consoles, but one PC tester experienced flickering and rainbow artifacts with a boosted setting.

Without VRR, the panel cannot synchronize refresh timing to variable console or PC frame rates.

The panel holds film frames with relatively little stutter, and smooth camera pans are an occasional strength.

Slow camera pans in films and shows can look jerky despite the available picture-smoothing controls.

Fine shades and subtle transitions add richness to familiar footage, revealing tonal variations that might otherwise be missed.

One test finds banding in dark tones, while another reports smooth shaded areas, so the verdict is not unanimous.

Tiny bright highlights stand out with impressive impact, from glints to lightning-like effects.

Gradual tone mapping retains some bright detail, but other testing still finds detail loss in the most intense highlights.

Old DVDs and softer streaming video clean up well, with reduced compression artifacts and an acceptably detailed picture.

Older or low-quality sources can look soft, with fine text and small features harder to resolve.

Fast action looks crisp to some eyes, but detailed response measurements reveal pervasive blur across sports and games.

Slow pixel transitions leave noticeable trails and softness on quick movement, especially in games.

An off-center Home key and hidden mute/input operations make the remote particularly awkward in the dark.

A small number of buttons keeps the remote neat but pushes input switching and custom shortcuts into menus.

Voice search handles many commands but missed free streaming options for a requested movie.

On-screen search makes settings easier to locate without repeatedly digging through nested menus.

The included feet keep the large screen well supported.

The wide foot position provides a firmer base; the narrower position may wobble briefly when the TV is touched.

Vibrant reds, greens, blues and subtle tonal variation can be dazzling, but SDR tests and competing RGB sets reveal room for improvement.

Mainstream DCI-P3 coverage is reasonable, but wider color reproduction and pale tones are weaker.

Extensive picture settings can substantially improve SDR accuracy, but reaching a good balance takes effort and HDR accuracy remains problematic.

Proper calibration can deliver exceptionally accurate SDR colors, though panel-specific values should not be blindly copied to another unit.

Deep backgrounds can lose subtle detail, especially in moderately lit rooms, making dark scenes less convincing than on OLED.

Tone tracking preserves subtle dark detail better than the weak overall black levels might suggest.

The flat back and flush-mount design allow a tidy, close-to-the-wall installation.

Wall mounting is feasible, but VESA patterns change by size and recessed inputs are difficult to reach afterward.

Home-screen recommendations can be hidden for a simpler interface, though the default presentation is cluttered and ads are not eliminated everywhere.

Streaming suggestions can be rearranged or hidden selectively, but the home screen remains busier than a fully customizable interface.

The glossy screen does little to soften mirror-like reflections from nearby lights, even though the panel is bright enough for daytime use.

Owners perceive useful glare resistance compared with OLED, yet direct reflections remain prominent and daylight brightness is limited.

Lower-resolution DVDs and older streams gain clarity without conspicuous over-sharpening.

Processing is praised on some HD material but can look soft and leave text indistinct in other tests.

Home-screen promotions can be disabled, but some advertising remains on the apps page. The result is cleaner than many smart TV menus without being entirely ad-free.

Ads cannot be fully removed from Tizen, even though targeted-ad settings can be disabled.

Speech remains clear and easy to follow at ordinary listening levels thanks to a fairly balanced sound signature.

Speech remains understandable at moderate volume, and an AI-adjustable voice boost can help against background noise.

The speakers can play loudly enough for a somewhat noisy room, but tonal balance becomes uneven near the top of the range.

One test finds speakers relatively quiet, while another says they reach adequate room volume, making loudness situational.

Proper chroma 4:4:4 handling keeps lettering legible when the screen is used with a desktop computer.

4K/60Hz PC mode can reproduce full-color detail, while 1080p/120Hz has reduced chroma and visibly softer lettering.

Most ambient reflections are tolerable thanks to the bright panel, but direct, glossy reflections can remain distracting.

Direct lights appear as mirror-like reflections, particularly noticeable against dark pictures.

Adjustable wide and narrow leg positions help the TV fit a greater variety of media consoles.

Adjustable foot spacing helps the television sit on both broad and compact cabinets.

Dark scenes generally have deep, convincing blacks for an LCD, although the result varies by content and does not match OLED precision.

Measured black depth is weak and corner light bleed can be visible; owners may still perceive dark game scenes as impressive.

Bright, saturated HDR colors are a standout attraction, especially in animation and nature footage. SDR color volume and consistency are less convincing.

Some comparative viewing finds pleasantly rich reds, although limited brightness and contrast restrain the strongest HDR colors.

Basic actions require learning unusual shortcuts, and the absence of dedicated mute and input keys becomes frustrating.

The minimalist remote is easy to understand and needs no precise aiming, but missing shortcuts and a slim shape add inconvenience.

Image color and brightness deteriorate noticeably when viewed off-center, making wide seating setups a poor match.

Colors and brightness deteriorate off-axis, making the TV best suited to central seats rather than wide groups.

A little haloing around bright objects is manageable in some scenes but clearly visible around subtitles and other high-contrast details in others.

One assessment reports minimal subtitle halos, but detailed testing finds clearly visible blooming around bright objects and subtitles.

The LCD panel avoids permanent OLED-style burn-in, a reassuring strength for repeated static imagery and long-term use.

Permanent burn-in is considered extremely unlikely, making static menus and channel graphics less worrisome than on OLED.

The standard backlight has high-frequency flicker, while a boosted PC gaming mode produced much more noticeable flickering and rainbow artifacts.

Backlight dimming introduces flicker that may be bothersome in most presets, especially for sensitive viewers.

Game Optimizer responds automatically to consoles and can improve contrast, although the most vivid game colors sometimes require other picture presets.

Game Mode prioritizes responsiveness and offers the lowest input lag without requiring extensive extra adjustments.

Most film and TV sources play with proper cadence, though an unusual 25p-over-60p signal can introduce timing errors.

Film-based 1080i is processed well in one test, but 60Hz external sources can show noticeable judder.

Dark scenes are impressively even, but bright images can reveal darker edges and some uneven patches.

Darker side regions and a central dirty-screen patch can make even-toned images look uneven.

The spectacular brightness and color make a strong impression, but other assessments describe a disappointing flagship held back by accuracy and value.

Everyday owners are enthusiastic about the clear image and conveniences, while technical evaluations question the price and performance balance.

Connecting an Xbox automatically brings up the gaming preset, avoiding the need to manually find low-latency settings.

Automatic Game Mode activation helps ensure a responsive experience without manually changing presets every session.

Black-frame insertion causes obvious double images, so enabling it is unlikely to improve perceived action clarity.

The optional motion-sharpening strobe produces double images, making it a poor remedy for the TV's motion blur.

The middle of the panel is relatively clean, but wide pans and bright backgrounds may reveal dirty-screen patches and darkening near the sides.

A broad uneven patch is distracting in one test, whereas another sample's dirty-screen effect is barely noticeable.

Fast PC modes are enticing on paper, but slow pixel transitions and flickering at the highest settings undermine fluid gameplay.

1080p/120Hz is a conditional workaround on screens 55 inches and larger, not a replacement for 4K/120Hz or VRR.

Slow LCD pixel transitions create obvious motion smearing, particularly at 120Hz and 165Hz.

Very slow pixel transitions make fast movement visibly blurry even with low input lag.

Panel hardware looks relatively low risk over time, though a temporary PC gaming problem remains unresolved and long-term test results are pending.

Edge-lit components pose long-term backlight concerns, while a cited early failure and owners' unexpected power-on events add caution.

Current PlayStation and Xbox consoles can run their demanding 4K/120 modes without compatibility hassles, making the HDMI feature set a genuine strength.

The QN70H cannot run 4K at 120Hz; even newer consoles are limited to 4K/60Hz, with 1080p/120Hz available only on some larger sizes.

AirPlay failed to stream a Hulu title correctly from an iPad in one test, leaving Apple-device playback less dependable than casting.

Built-in AirPlay allows mirroring from an iPhone or iMac without purchasing another streaming box.

High-bandwidth HDMI inputs are a major convenience for multiple modern consoles and PCs, with advanced game signals supported.

The HDMI 2.0-only inputs cannot unlock the full output capabilities of modern consoles and PCs.

Dolby Vision films look particularly punchy, with vivid highlights and rich color that show off the backlight.

Dolby Vision is missing, leaving HDR10+ as an alternative but reducing compatibility with Dolby Vision content.

4K console gaming works with a full range of modern output features, although fast motion may look softer than the high refresh rate suggests.

4K games work at 60Hz, but the panel cannot combine native resolution with the high frame rates many modern players expect.

Its vivid screen commands a steep premium, and several alternatives offer better accuracy, contrast or similar color for less; the large-size appeal does help.

Its limited HDR, contrast and gaming features undercut the asking price; it makes more sense only for shoppers prioritizing Samsung’s interface and slim design.

The missing DTS format is a drawback for viewers with Blu-ray discs or audio setups that rely on it.
