LG C6 Series OLED 4K Smart TV vs Samsung S85H OLED 4K Smart TV

Both are 48-inch 4K OLEDs with four HDMI ports and Dolby Vision, so picture quality is close. The LG C6 is the stronger gaming and movie set: four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 165Hz panel, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium, and the brighter evo panel with the Alpha 11 Gen3 chip. The Samsung S85H is lighter and runs Android TV with Google Assistant and Alexa built in, which suits people who want that app ecosystem. Owners of the LG praise the picture and easy setup; the main complaint is weight.

  • Choose the LG C6 if you game on a console or PC and want HDMI 2.1 on every port, high refresh and VRR support.
  • Choose the Samsung S85H if you prefer Android TV and Google Assistant or Alexa, and want a lighter 48-inch OLED.

What reviewers say

LG C6 Series OLED 4K Smart TV

  • 4.8 / 5166 ratings

Owners rate the C6 highly, at 4.8 out of 5 from 166 ratings, and most praise the picture, blacks and gaming features. Complaints center on brightness in very bright rooms and the price at larger sizes.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners call the contrast and color the main reason to buy.
  • BrightnessMixedBrightness Booster Pro helps, but some find it dim in a bright room.
  • GamingPraisedThe 120Hz panel and four HDMI 2.1 ports draw praise from console players.
  • SetupPraisedwebOS and the included remote make first-time setup quick.

Questions and answers

Which is better for PS5 or Xbox gaming?
The LG C6. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 165Hz panel, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium, and a 0.1ms response time. The Samsung S85H lists 120Hz and no VRR features.
Do both support Dolby Vision?
Yes. Both list Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, and both support Dolby Atmos audio.
Which is brighter?
The LG C6 uses an evo panel with Brightness Booster Pro, which LG says is up to 3.2x brighter. Samsung does not list a brightness booster for the S85H.
Which smart TV system is easier to use?
webOS on the LG is simple and has a well-liked Magic Remote. Android TV on the Samsung gives you Google Assistant and Alexa and the Google Play app store. It comes down to which apps and assistants you use.
Which lasts longer?
Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. LG includes OLED Care to protect the panel over time. Both are OLED, so static logos and bright news tickers are the main long-term risk on either set.
Is the LG worth stepping up to over the Samsung?
If you game or watch a lot of HDR movies, yes: the extra HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, higher refresh and brightness booster are real gains. If you mainly stream and want Android TV, the Samsung covers the basics.
