Samsung OLED 4K Smart TV vs LG OLED Flex

The LG OLED Flex is the more distinctive set: a 42-inch bendable OLED that switches between flat and curved, aimed at gamers and desktop PC users. The Samsung OLED is the conventional pick: a flat 4K OLED at 120 Hz with Google Assistant and Alexa built in, backed by a large body of owner ratings. On picture quality the two are close, both being 120 Hz OLED panels with HDR. Choose the LG for the bendable screen and PC-focused setup; choose the Samsung for a normal living-room TV with broad voice-assistant support.

  • Choose the Samsung OLED if you want a straightforward flat 4K OLED for the living room with Alexa and Google Assistant built in and a long track record of owner ratings.
  • Choose the LG OLED Flex if you want a bendable 42-inch OLED you can curve for gaming or flatten for desktop work, with four HDMI ports.

What reviewers say

Samsung OLED 4K Smart TV

  • 4.3 / 513,000 ratings

Owners rate the set highly, praising the OLED picture and smooth 120 Hz motion. Complaints center on brightness in bright rooms and worry about burn-in.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners say the OLED panel gives deep blacks and vivid contrast.
  • MotionPraisedThe 120 Hz refresh rate is called smooth for sports and games.
  • BrightnessCriticisedReviewers say the screen struggles in bright, sunlit rooms.
  • Burn-inMixedSome owners worry about static logos leaving marks over time.

LG OLED Flex

Reviewers praise the LG OLED Flex for its unique adjustable curvature and excellent picture quality. However, many criticize its high price and the motorized mechanism as a novelty that may not justify the cost.

What people mention
  • CurvaturePraisedReviewers love the ability to switch between flat and curved modes for different content.
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners consistently praise the OLED panel's perfect blacks and vibrant colors.
  • PriceCriticisedMany complain that the Flex costs much more than equivalent OLED TVs without the bending feature.
  • Motorized mechanismMixedSome find the motorized curvature adjustment slow and worry about long-term durability.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
Both run 120 Hz OLED panels with HDR, so motion and contrast are close. The LG Flex adds four HDMI ports and a curve you can dial in for close play; the Samsung suits a console in the living room.
Is the bendable screen worth stepping up to?
Only if you sit close and want a curve for games or a flat panel for desktop work. For normal couch viewing the curve adds little, and the Samsung's flat panel is simpler.
Which has better voice control?
The Samsung, which lists Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support. The LG Flex is a smart TV but its listing does not name built-in assistants.
Which lasts longer?
OLED panels on both age similarly, with burn-in risk from static logos and tickers. The LG's bending mechanism is an extra moving part the Samsung does not have.
Which is better for a bright living room?
Neither is the strongest choice; OLED struggles in bright rooms. Between them, pick by size and setup rather than brightness, since both are OLED.
Can the LG Flex be used as a monitor?
Yes. It has HDMI and PC interface support and a 16:9 4K panel, which makes it a plausible desktop display as well as a TV.
