LG LCD TV Vs Samsung LCD TV : A Comparative Study

Gone are the days of the old CRT monitors. The LCD TVs are now ruling the roost. The prices also have come to an affordable range and they have some advantages over the Plasma TVs such as no burn in for static displays, low power consumption, lower price tags for display sizes under 40 inches etc. The LED TVs have better picture quality but their prices are a real barrier which means the LCD TVs are the best options for now. But choosing a good LCD TV can be a hectic task. We have listed some of the best LCD TVs in our article on top 10 LCD TVs and Top 10 HDTVs, but the list could not accommodate all of the models from different manufacturers as expected. This is why we have done a general comparison between the two big guns of the display industry LG and Samsung. We did not include Sony because of their sky high price tag. Let’s take a look at the comparison.

1. Sales Position

Samsung is currently the top seller of the LCD TVs and LG is at the 3rd position. Clearly Samsung LCD TVs are selling more than the LG TVs.

2. Malfunctioning Reports

Samsung LCD TV malfunctioning reports are greatly being seen over the web. Although this might be due to the fact that their TVs are selling more, so the probability that the number of Samsung LCD TVs’ malfunctioning are more than the LG TVs.

3. Picture Quality

I am really puzzled here. The quality of the images varied greatly from model to model of these two manufacturers and it also depends on the settings which you are using on the TV. However, personally I like the overall better picture quality of Samsung LCD TVs.

4. Audio Quality

This is also a confusing topic to discuss if not referred to a particular model but generally I found that LG had better speakers and their overall sound quality was better than those of Samsung’s.

5. Features

I found Samsung TVs to be studded with better features than the LG TVs.

6. After Sales Services

I found many complaints from the Samsung LCD TV owners that their customer services are a crap and it too months to get them repaired which were under the warranty. But there was no such complaints about the LG products.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, I must say that the comparison between these two leading manufacturers is something like comparing a lion and a tiger. Deciding which one is better seems to be much more of a personal preference than anything else. They both have a similar price offerings, similar picture quality in same price range and similar in almost every other respects. Whichever brand you purchase, you are going to get a good TV.
