Which is better for gaming?

The LG C6. It supports up to 165Hz, a 0.1ms response time, VRR, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium, and it has four HDMI inputs. The Samsung tops out at 120Hz with fewer gaming features listed.

Which has the better picture?

The LG C6. Its OLED evo panel with Brightness Booster and the a11 Gen3 processor give it more headroom in bright rooms, and it adds Dolby Vision. The Samsung is still a true OLED with perfect blacks, but it is a step below.

Is the LG worth stepping up to over the Samsung?

Yes for most buyers. You get a larger 65-inch screen, more HDMI ports, Dolby Vision and Atmos, and stronger gaming support. The Samsung only makes sense if 55 inches is the right fit for your room.

Which is better for a bright living room?

The LG C6. Brightness Booster raises peak brightness and its anti-glare handling is better suited to daytime viewing. The Samsung OLED is dimmer and more prone to reflections.

Do both support voice assistants?

Yes, but differently. The LG lists Google Assistant and Siri, while the Samsung lists Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Check which ecosystem your other devices use.

Both are OLED and should last many years with normal use. The LG adds OLED Care to protect the panel, which helps against burn-in from static logos. Either way, avoid leaving news tickers or game HUDs on for hours.

LG OLED C6 65-inch TV vs Samsung S85H 55" OLED 4K TV

The LG OLED C6 is the stronger TV: a 65-inch OLED evo panel with the a11 Gen3 processor, four HDMI inputs, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and gaming features up to 165Hz with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium. The Samsung S85H is a solid 55-inch OLED with good AI upscaling, but it sits a tier below on brightness, gaming support and connectivity. Buy the LG for a bright living room, console gaming or a large screen; buy the Samsung if 55 inches fits your room and you want a simpler OLED.

Choose the LG OLED C6 if you want the larger 65-inch screen, four HDMI ports, Dolby Vision and high-refresh gaming with VRR and G-Sync.
Choose the Samsung S85H if 55 inches suits your space and you mainly stream shows and want strong AI upscaling of older content.
