LG G3 OLED evo 4K Smart TV vs Samsung S85H OLED 4K Smart TV

The LG G3 is the better TV for most people. Its OLED evo panel with Micro Lens Array is noticeably brighter than Samsung's S85H, and it adds Dolby Vision, four HDMI 2.1 ports and G-Sync alongside FreeSync. The Samsung S85H is the pick only if you want a very large screen: it comes in sizes up to 83 inches, which the G3 does not reach. Reviewers praise the G3's brightness and gaming features; owners of Samsung's S85H line report good color and a clean Tizen interface but weaker peak brightness and no Dolby Vision.

  • Choose the LG G3 if you sit close, watch in a bright room, game on a console or PC, and want Dolby Vision and the brightest OLED picture.
  • Choose the Samsung S85H if you need a screen larger than 77 inches and want Tizen, Samsung's Gaming Hub and Wi-Fi 6E.

What reviewers say

LG G3 OLED evo 4K Smart TV

Reviewers rate the G3 as one of the best OLEDs of its generation, mainly for the brightness gain over the C3. Owners praise picture quality and gaming features but often mention the missing stand and the need for a soundbar.

What people mention
  • BrightnessPraisedReviewers say the MLA panel makes HDR highlights and daytime viewing clearly brighter than earlier OLEDs.
  • StandCriticisedOwners complain the TV ships without a stand and needs a separate mount or furniture.
  • GamingPraisedGamers like the four HDMI 2.1 ports, 120 Hz support and very low input lag.
  • SoundCriticisedReviewers find the built-in speakers thin and recommend a soundbar.

Samsung S85H OLED 4K Smart TV

Reviewers treat the S85H as a solid entry OLED: strong contrast, good motion and clean design, but dimmer than the step-up S90 and S95. Owners like the picture in dark rooms and complain about reflections and brightness in daylight.

What people mention
  • BrightnessCriticisedOwners say the panel struggles in bright, sunlit rooms compared with brighter OLEDs and high-end LCDs.
  • Picture qualityPraisedReviewers highlight deep blacks, strong contrast and accurate colors in darker rooms.
  • MotionPraisedThe 120 Hz panel is described as smooth for sports and console gaming.
  • SoundMixedDolby Atmos is supported, but reviewers say the built-in speakers lack bass and benefit from a soundbar.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright living room?
The LG G3. Its OLED evo panel with the brightness booster holds up better in daylight, and it handles Dolby Vision content the Samsung cannot. The Samsung's anti-reflection coating helps, but its peak brightness is lower.
Which is better for gaming?
The LG G3. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, G-Sync and FreeSync, a Game Optimizer and under 0.1 ms response. The Samsung has 120 Hz and FreeSync Premium but fewer HDMI 2.1 inputs.
Can I get a bigger screen than 77 inches?
Only on the Samsung. The S85H comes in 48, 55, 65, 77 and 83 inches, while the G3 stops at 77. If you want an 83-inch OLED, the Samsung is the choice.
Does the Samsung support Dolby Vision?
No. The S85H supports HDR10 and HLG only. The LG G3 supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, which matters for Dolby Vision movies and shows.
Which has better sound without a soundbar?
The Samsung. It decodes Dolby Atmos and uses Object Tracking Sound Lite, and it pairs with Samsung soundbars through Q-Symphony. The LG uses a virtual surround system without Atmos decoding.
Is the LG G3 worth stepping up to over the Samsung?
For most rooms, yes. The G3 is brighter, supports Dolby Vision and has more gaming inputs. Step to the Samsung only if you need the 83-inch size or prefer Tizen.
