LG C6 Series OLED TV vs Samsung 42” S90H OLED 4K Smart TV

Both are 4K OLEDs with 165Hz gaming support, but they target different rooms. The LG C6 is the better all-round home theater set: 55 inches, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, a 2.2-channel 40W speaker system and four full HDMI 2.1 ports. The Samsung S90H wins on glare handling and motion clarity at 42 inches, and owners rate it very highly. Pick the LG for a dark living room with a soundbar or none; pick the Samsung for a bright room or a desk where reflections are the problem.

  • Choose the LG C6 if you want a larger 55-inch picture with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos and plan to wall-mount or pair it with a soundbar.
  • Choose the Samsung S90H if your room is bright, your space is small, or you want a 42-inch OLED that stays readable in daylight.

What reviewers say

LG C6 Series OLED TV

  • 4.7 / 5192 ratings

Owners rate the 55-inch C6 highly at 4.7 out of 5 from 192 ratings, with most praise going to picture quality and gaming features. Complaints tend to be about brightness in bright rooms and the price rather than the panel itself.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners describe deep blacks, strong contrast and clean motion, especially with Dolby Vision content.
  • GamingPraisedGamers like the four HDMI 2.1 ports, 120Hz support and VRR for smooth play on consoles and PCs.
  • BrightnessMixedIt looks great in a dark room, but some owners find it dimmer than expected in a bright, sunlit room.
  • SoundCriticisedThe 40W speakers are called adequate at best, and many owners add a soundbar for films.

Samsung 42” S90H OLED 4K Smart TV

  • 4.9 / 5870 ratings

The combination of OLED contrast and the new anti-glare coating is frequently cited as a major improvement over previous generations. Buyers praise ink-like blacks, even screen uniformity and smooth gaming motion, and call setup and Tizen navigation easy. Complaints center on tuning the picture and on dialogue clarity.

What people mention
  • ReflectionsPraisedThe Glare Free technology is highly effective at neutralizing ambient light in bright environments.
  • GamingPraisedThe 165Hz refresh rate and Ultimate Gaming Pack make it a top choice for PC and console gamers.
  • Sound qualityCriticisedThe 20W speakers are described as thin, often requiring an external soundbar for a full experience.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright living room?
The Samsung S90H. Its Glare Free coating suppresses window and lamp reflections, and owners say it holds up in daylight. The LG C6 has a glossy finish that shows reflections.
Which has better sound without a soundbar?
The LG C6. It has a 2.2-channel 40W system with Dolby Atmos. The Samsung S90H has 20W speakers, and owners report dialogue clarity problems.
Which is better for PS5 or PC gaming?
They are close. Both reach 165Hz with VRR, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium and have four HDMI ports. The LG adds QMS and QFT and lists a 0.1ms response time.
Does the Samsung S90H support Dolby Vision?
No. It supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. The LG C6 supports Dolby Vision, which matters for Dolby Vision movies and shows on Netflix and Disney+.
Is the LG C6 worth stepping up to over the Samsung?
Yes if you want a bigger screen, Dolby Vision and Atmos and watch mostly in a dim room. Stay with the Samsung if glare or room size is the deciding factor.
Which lasts longer?
Both use OLED panels with similar lifespans under normal use. The Samsung carries a one-year manufacturer warranty; check the LG warranty terms before buying.
