Our Verdict
LG B5 OLED
Samsung S85F OLED
The Samsung S85F OLED is a bit better than the LG B5 OLED, mostly because it is a bit brighter in SDR, and is noticeably more colorful. The Samsung also handles reflections far better than the LG, but this comes at the cost of noticeable ambient black level raise, giving the screen a grey-pink tint in brighter environments. Finally, the Samsung has an even wider viewing angle than the already excellent LG, with no green tint. The LG does have some notable advantages, such as better HDR pre-calibration accuracy, and better low-quality content smoothing; the LG also supports the 6Ghz Wi-Fi band, while the Samsung is limited to the 2.4 and 5Ghz bands.
