LG C5 77-inch OLED evo 4K Smart TV vs Samsung S85H OLED TV

Both are 77-inch 4K OLEDs with 120Hz-plus panels, four HDMI ports and smart platforms, so the picture fundamentals are close. The LG C5 is the stronger all-rounder: a brighter OLED evo panel, 144Hz refresh, Wi-Fi 6E, 32GB of storage and a long track record of C-series praise for gaming and film. The Samsung S85H is a solid alternative with Tizen and a clean design, but it has fewer owner reports and weaker audio on paper. Buy the LG unless you specifically prefer Samsung's Tizen interface.

  • Choose the LG C5 if you want the best gaming feature set, the brightest OLED picture and the most proven track record in this size.
  • Choose the Samsung S85H if you prefer Tizen and Samsung's app ecosystem over LG's webOS.

Owners rate the C5 very highly, at 4.9 out of 5 from 2,240 ratings. They praise the deep blacks, the smooth 144Hz motion and the gaming features. The main complaints are brightness in bright rooms and the size and weight of a 77-inch set.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming, the LG C5 or the Samsung S85H?
The LG C5. It runs at 144Hz versus 120Hz on the S85H, and both support VRR, but the LG adds four HDMI 2.1 ports and a faster processor for lower input latency.
Which has better sound without a soundbar?
The LG C5. Its Precision Sound Master Pro with virtual surround outclasses the S85H's 20W two-channel setup, though a soundbar improves either.
Is the LG C5 worth stepping up to over the S85H?
For most shoppers, yes. The C5 adds a higher refresh rate, Wi-Fi 6E, more storage and a much larger base of owner reviews for a similar class of OLED picture.
Which lasts longer, OLED or OLED?
Both use OLED panels, so longevity is similar. Burn-in risk depends on content habits more than brand; vary what you watch and avoid static logos or tickers for hours.
Do both handle bright rooms well?
The LG C5 has the brighter OLED evo panel and an anti-glare coating, so it copes better with daylight. The S85H is fine in dim rooms but dimmer in a sunlit living room.
Which smart TV platform is easier to use?
It comes down to preference. LG's webOS is simple with a pointer remote; Samsung's Tizen has a broad app catalog and a clean layout. Try both in a store if you can.
