Samsung S85H 55" OLED 4K TV vs LG C6 Series OLED evo 4K TV

Both are 55-inch OLED 4K TVs with 120Hz-class panels and perfect blacks, so the picture is close. The LG C6 pulls ahead for gamers and movie buffs: four HDMI 2.1 ports, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium, and the a11 Gen3 processor. The Samsung S85H is the simpler pick if you want Samsung's Tizen apps and AI upscaling and don't need Dolby Vision or four next-gen ports. Owners of LG C-series sets consistently praise the gaming features and webOS; Samsung OLED buyers praise color and design but note the missing Dolby Vision.

  • Choose the Samsung S85H if you want Samsung's smart platform and AI upscaling and don't need Dolby Vision or a full set of HDMI 2.1 ports.
  • Choose the LG C6 if you game on a console or PC, watch Dolby Vision movies, or want four HDMI 2.1 ports and the brighter OLED evo panel.

What reviewers say

Samsung S85H 55" OLED 4K TV

Owner feedback on Samsung's S85H-class OLED sets is generally positive on picture quality and gaming features. Complaints center on peak brightness in bright rooms and the risk of burn-in with static content.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners say the OLED panel's blacks and contrast make dark scenes look far better than LCD sets.
  • BrightnessCriticisedReviewers note peak brightness is lower than bright LED TVs, which matters in a sunlit room.
  • GamingPraisedThe 120 Hz panel and low input lag are called out as good for consoles.
  • Burn-inMixedSome owners worry about static logos and tickers leaving marks over long viewing.

LG C6 Series OLED evo 4K TV

  • 4.4 / 512 ratings

  • GamingPraisedHDMI 2.1 ports and VRR are called out as a good fit for consoles.

Questions and answers

Which is better for PS5 or Xbox Series X gaming?
The LG C6. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium, and low input lag, so you can run 4K at 120Hz on a console and a PC at once. The Samsung has a 120Hz panel but fewer next-gen ports.
Does the Samsung support Dolby Vision?
No. The Samsung handles HDR10 and HDR10+ only. The LG C6 adds Dolby Vision, which matters on Netflix, Disney+ and 4K Blu-ray.
Which has better sound without a soundbar?
The LG C6. It decodes Dolby Atmos and uses Precision Sound Master Pro processing. The Samsung's built-in speakers are serviceable but flatter, and neither replaces a dedicated soundbar for a big room.
Is the LG C6 worth stepping up to over the Samsung?
Yes if you game, watch Dolby Vision content, or want the brighter OLED evo panel and four HDMI 2.1 ports. If you mainly stream SDR shows and want Samsung's app layout, the S85H covers the basics.
Which is better in a bright room?
The LG C6. Its OLED evo panel pushes higher brightness and handles reflections better. Both are OLEDs, so neither matches a bright LCD in a sunlit room.
Do both work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
Yes. The Samsung supports Alexa and Google Assistant, and the LG adds Siri and Apple Home alongside Alexa and Google.
