LG B5 Series OLED 4K TV (2025) vs Samsung S85HA 48" 4K OLED TV

Both are 48-inch 4K OLEDs with 120Hz panels, so picture quality is close. The LG B5 is the safer pick: it documents four HDMI 2.1 ports, G-Sync, FreeSync Premium, Dolby Vision and a webOS platform with years of updates. The Samsung S85H runs Tizen and is a solid all-rounder, but its listing gives fewer confirmed gaming and HDR details. Buyers who want the most documented gaming features and app support should lean LG; buyers already deep in Samsung's ecosystem can go Samsung.

  • Choose the LG B5 if you game on a console or PC and want four HDMI 2.1 ports, G-Sync, FreeSync Premium and Dolby Vision confirmed on the spec sheet.
  • Choose the Samsung S85H if you want a 48-inch OLED that fits a Samsung household and you mainly stream rather than game.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming, the LG B5 or the Samsung S85H?
The LG B5. It lists four HDMI 2.1 inputs, G-Sync, FreeSync Premium and VRR, plus a Game Optimizer menu. The Samsung's gaming specs are not spelled out.
Do both support Dolby Vision?
The LG B5 clearly lists Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Samsung's listing mentions Dolby Vision but Samsung has historically skipped it, so confirm before buying if Dolby Vision matters to you.
Which has the better smart TV system?
They are close. LG's webOS 25 has Quick Cards, over 300 free LG Channels and up to five years of updates. Samsung's Tizen is fast and has a large app library plus Samsung TV Plus.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to as a newer model?
Only if you want the latest release year or already own Samsung gear. On documented features the LG B5 gives you more for gaming and HDR.
Which is better for a bright room?
Neither publishes brightness figures, and OLED panels are not the brightest. Both are best in a room you can dim; check reviews for measured brightness before deciding.
Will either work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
The LG B5 lists both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Samsung TVs use Bixby and support Alexa, but Google Assistant is not standard.
