LG OLED evo AI C5 65-inch 4K TV vs Samsung 65" 4K OLED Smart TV

Both are 65-inch 4K OLEDs with four HDMI ports and Wi-Fi 6E, so picture quality is close. The LG C5 pulls ahead for gamers and movie buffs: 144Hz refresh, four full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision and HGiG, plus the Alpha 9 Gen8 processor and 32GB of memory. The Samsung S90-class OLED runs at 120Hz and adds Tizen, a polished smart platform owners rate highly. Buy the LG for a console or a bright-room movie setup; buy the Samsung if you want the simpler Tizen interface and a slightly lower entry point.

  • Choose the LG C5 if you game on a PS5, Xbox or PC and want 144Hz, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Dolby Vision in one set.
  • Choose the Samsung OLED if you prefer Tizen's interface and a 120Hz panel is enough for your viewing.

What reviewers say

LG OLED evo AI C5 65-inch 4K TV

Owners and reviewers rate the C-series highly for picture quality and gaming features, and the C5 is generally seen as a modest year-over-year step rather than a reinvention. Praise centers on contrast, HDMI 2.1 gaming and webOS; complaints focus on brightness in bright rooms and the risk of burn-in with static content.

What people mention
  • Picture contrastPraisedOwners say dark scenes look deep and detailed with no blooming around bright objects.
  • BrightnessCriticisedReviewers note it dims highlights compared with Mini-LED and QD-OLED sets in sunlit rooms.
  • GamingPraisedPlayers praise the four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR and low lag at 120Hz and 144Hz.
  • Burn-inMixedSome long-term owners worry about logos and tickers leaving marks; most see none with varied viewing.

Samsung 65" 4K OLED Smart TV

  • 4.6 / 52,300 ratings

Buyers rate it 4.6 out of 5 across roughly 2,300 ratings, with most praise going to picture quality and ease of setup. Complaints center on brightness in bright rooms and OLED care concerns.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners describe deep blacks, strong contrast and rich color from the OLED panel.
  • MotionPraisedThe 120Hz refresh is called out for smooth sports and gaming.
  • BrightnessCriticisedSome say the screen struggles in bright, sunlit rooms compared with LED sets.

Questions and answers

Which is better for PS5 or Xbox Series X gaming?
The LG C5. It runs 4K at up to 144Hz, has four 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports, and supports VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision game mode. The Samsung tops out at 120Hz and lacks Dolby Vision.
Does the Samsung have Dolby Vision?
No. Samsung has long skipped Dolby Vision, so HDR10 and HLG are the formats it supports. The LG C5 adds Dolby Vision.
Which lasts longer?
Both use OLED panels with similar lifespans, and neither maker publishes a fixed hour rating. The LG bundle includes a 3-year protection plan that extends coverage to 5 years, which tips long-term peace of mind toward LG.
Is the LG worth stepping up to over the Samsung?
For gamers and Dolby Vision movie fans, yes. The extra refresh rate, full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports and Dolby Vision are real gains. If you mainly stream shows and like Tizen, the Samsung covers it.
Which has the better smart TV system?
Tizen on the Samsung is fast and simple, and owners rate it highly. LG's webOS is equally capable and adds ThinQ AI, but shows more promotional content on the home screen.
Are either good in a bright room?
OLED contrast holds up, but neither matches a bright mini-LED set in a sunlit room. The LG's anti-glare coating helps; close the blinds for the best picture on both.
