Which is better for PS5 or Xbox Series X gaming?

The LG C5. All four HDMI ports support 4K 120Hz with VRR and ALLM, and the 0.1ms response time keeps motion clean. The Samsung S84F runs 120Hz but does not confirm HDMI 2.1 on every port.

Does the Samsung S84F have Dolby Vision?

No. It supports HDR10+ and HDR10. The LG C5 supports Dolby Vision, which matters for Netflix, Disney+, and 4K Blu-ray.

Is the LG C5 worth the extra money over the S84F?

If you game or watch a lot of Dolby Vision content, yes. The extra HDMI 2.1 ports and Dolby Vision are real advantages. If you mostly stream SDR and HDR10 shows, the Samsung saves money.

Which has better sound without a soundbar?

The LG C5 lists 40W across a 2.2 channel system. The Samsung S84F uses two top-firing speakers with Dolby Atmos. Both benefit from a soundbar for real bass.

Which one is brighter in a bright room?

The LG C5 uses LG's evo panel with boosted brightness, which helps in well-lit rooms. The Samsung S84F also claims enhanced brightness, but neither is a QD-OLED, so both trail Mini-LED sets in peak brightness.

Both are OLED and carry similar burn-in risk with static logos and news tickers. The LG C5 has far more long-term user data, with 2,339 ratings versus 58 for the Samsung.

Both are 55-inch 4K OLEDs at 120Hz, so the picture fundamentals are close. The LG C5 is the stronger pick for gamers and movie buffs: four full HDMI 2.1 ports, Dolby Vision, and a 0.1ms response time. The Samsung S84F counters with a lower price and Tizen's app selection, but it lacks Dolby Vision and has fewer verified ratings. Check current prices at each store before deciding, since OLED pricing moves often.

Today the Samsung 55” Class S84F Series OLED 4K UHD Samsung Vision AI Smart Tizen TV costs $149.96 less at its best price.
