Samsung 77" OLED 4K TV vs LG OLED evo C3 77 inch 4K Smart TV 2023
The Samsung 77" QD-OLED is the better TV here: brighter HDR, a glare-free coating, and 144Hz gaming, at $1,399.00 at Echo Audio as of November 3. The LG C3 is a strong 2023 OLED with Dolby Vision and webOS, but its listed specs are for the 65-inch OLED65C3PUA, not a 77-inch set, so confirm the size before buying. The LG's lowest daily price was $858.00 on November 2, so it is the cheaper option if the size checks out.

What reviewers say
Samsung 77" OLED 4K TV
Owners and professional reviewers rate the S95D among the best 2024 TVs for bright-room viewing, praising the glare-free screen and color volume. Criticism centers on the missing Dolby Vision and the matte finish's effect on off-angle contrast.
Pros
- Glare-free screen handles windows and lamps better than glossy OLEDs
- Strong HDR highlights and saturated quantum dot color
- Low input lag and 144Hz make it a capable gaming display
- Slim design and clean cable management
Cons
- No Dolby Vision, which some streamers and discs use
- Matte coating slightly reduces contrast at wide angles
- Some report image retention after long static content
- Tizen interface can feel cluttered with ads
LG OLED evo C3 77 inch 4K Smart TV 2023
Questions and answers
- Which is better for a bright living room?
- The Samsung. Its glare-free coating and roughly 1,750-nit peak brightness handle reflections and daylight better. LG buyers specifically complain the C3 has no anti-glare coating.
- Does the LG C3 support Dolby Vision?
- Yes. The C3 supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. The Samsung S95H lists HDR10+ and OLED HDR Pro but no Dolby Vision.
- Which is better for gaming?
- The Samsung. It runs 4K at 144Hz with 8.9ms input lag and supports FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync. The LG C3 tops out at 120Hz.
- Is the LG listing really a 77-inch TV?
- The specs say 65 inches and model OLED65C3PUA, which is the 65-inch C3. Confirm the size with the store before ordering.
- Is the Samsung worth $541 more?
- If you watch in a bright room or game at high refresh rates, yes. In a dark room, the LG's Dolby Vision and lower price make it the better value.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both are OLED and carry burn-in risk from static logos and tickers. Neither maker publishes a panel lifespan figure, so viewing habits matter more than the brand.
