LG B5 OLED TV vs Samsung S85H 48" OLED 4K TV

Both are 48-inch 4K OLED sets with 120 Hz panels and four HDMI ports, so picture fundamentals are close. The LG B5 runs webOS with the Alpha 8 Gen 2 processor and adds Dolby Vision plus a built-in ATSC tuner; the Samsung S85H uses the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, has an anti-glare coating and weighs less. Owners and reviewers consistently praise OLED blacks and viewing angles on both, and both handle console gaming at 4K 120 Hz well. Pick LG for Dolby Vision content and the tuner; pick Samsung for a brighter, less reflective room and a lighter panel.

  • Choose the LG B5 if you watch Dolby Vision movies, use an antenna, or want webOS with all three major voice assistants.
  • Choose the Samsung S85H if your room has windows or lamps facing the screen and you want the anti-glare coating and lighter build.

What reviewers say

LG B5 OLED TV

  • 4.7 / 54,200 ratings

With 4.7 out of 5 from about 4,200 ratings, owners are largely happy with the B5's picture and gaming features. Most praise comes from people stepping up from LED TVs. Complaints center on brightness in bright rooms and the step down from the C series.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners say blacks are deep and colors look rich, especially in dim rooms.
  • BrightnessCriticisedReviewers say it struggles in bright, sunlit rooms compared with brighter OLEDs.
  • GamingPraisedBuyers like the 120Hz panel with VRR for consoles and PC.
  • ProcessorMixedSome say the Alpha 8 chip is fine, others notice weaker upscaling than the C series.
Reviews
  • You can get an LG B5 OLED for less than $900

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright living room?
The Samsung S85H. Its anti-glare coating cuts reflections from windows and lamps, where the LG B5's glossy panel shows them more.
Which handles movies better?
The LG B5 for Dolby Vision titles, since Samsung does not support that format. For HDR10 content the two are close.
Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung S85H has a slight edge with VRR and 4K 120 Hz on all four HDMI ports. The LG B5 also does 120 Hz and has a dedicated Game Mode.
Do I need a separate streaming box?
No. Both have Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and Disney+ built in, plus Alexa and Google Assistant support.
Is the step up to either worth it over a cheaper LCD?
Yes if you care about black levels and viewing angles. OLED gives per-pixel contrast that LCD cannot match, and both sets add 120 Hz for sports and games.
Which is easier to wall mount?
The Samsung S85H. It weighs about 23 lb against roughly 26 lb for the LG B5, and both are flat panels with thin bezels.
