Samsung Neo QLED QN70F 65-Inch vs LG QNED85TUA 65" 4K Smart TV

The Samsung QN70F is the stronger TV on hardware: a Neo QLED panel with mini-LED backlighting, 144Hz refresh, and an anti-glare coating. The LG QNED85TUA runs 120Hz on an edge-lit QLED panel with local dimming, and owners report backlight bleed in dark scenes. Buy the Samsung if picture quality in dark rooms and gaming headroom matter most; the LG is a reasonable pick for bright rooms and webOS fans who want AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built in.

  • Choose the Samsung Neo QLED QN70F if you watch movies in a dim room, game at high frame rates, or want mini-LED contrast and an anti-glare screen.
  • Choose the LG QNED85TUA if you want webOS with the Magic Remote and built-in AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, and mostly watch in a bright room.

  • 4.6 / 5Google Shopping · 1,787 ratings

Questions and answers

Which is better for a dark room?
The Samsung. Its mini-LED backlight dims in zones, so blacks stay blacker. The LG is edge-lit, and owners report light washing in from the sides in dark scenes.
Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung, mainly for its 144Hz panel. The LG covers the console essentials with 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync and HGiG, so it is close if you play at 120Hz.
Which lasts longer?
Neither brand publishes a lifespan figure. LG owner reviews include reports of screen lines after about two years, which is worth weighing against its higher rating count.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Yes if you care about contrast and glare. The mini-LED panel and anti-glare coating are real hardware gains over the LG's edge lighting.
Does the LG work better with Apple devices?
Yes. The LG has AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built in. The Samsung relies on app-level casting, so iPhone and Mac mirroring is less direct.
Which has the better smart TV system?
It is a matter of taste. webOS on the LG is simpler and the Magic Remote is well liked; Tizen on the Samsung is faster to load apps but busier.
