Samsung vs LG TVs: Which Brand Should You Buy?
Samsung and LG both make excellent TVs, so the better choice is the one whose strengths match your room and how you watch. Samsung leads our range with a wider choice of sizes and QLED, Neo QLED and Mini LED models, while LG is best known for OLED and its QNED range. Here is a fair, side-by-side look using the models we sell.
1. Samsung vs LG at a glance
Both brands cover 4K TVs from about 43 inches to 100 inches, with different strengths in each screen technology.
| Samsung | LG | |
|---|---|---|
| TVs in our range | 47 | 19 |
| Price range | $249 to $6,349 | $279 to $7,989 |
| Everyday 4K | Crystal UHD, 43 to 98 inches | NANO 4K UHD NU85, 43 to 85 inches |
| Brighter, vivid LED | QLED, Neo QLED and Mini LED | QNED and QNED Mini LED |
| OLED | S85F, S85H, S90H, S95F and S95H, 55 to 83 inches | C6 in 55, 65 and 77 inches, and C5 in 83 inches |
| Smart platform | Tizen | webOS |

Size is often the deciding factor. Samsung has 55, 65, 75 and 85 inch versions of several models, plus 98 and 100 inch options for a home cinema wall. LG offers 55, 65, 75 and 86 inch QNED TVs, an 85 inch NANO model and a 100 inch QNED Mini LED. Measure your viewing distance first: a simple rule is 1 to 1.5 times the screen diagonal for a 4K TV.

2. Which is better for OLED?
Both brands make OLED TVs with perfect blacks and wide viewing angles, so the decision comes down to size, price and the model you prefer.
In an OLED, each pixel makes its own light and can switch off completely, which suits films and darker rooms. LG's OLED range in our store is the C6 (55, 65 and 77 inches, from $1,999) and the 83-inch C5. Samsung offers more OLED models and sizes, from the 55-inch S85F at $1,179 to the 83-inch S90H, with the S95 series at the top of its range. Our guide to OLED vs QLED vs Mini LED explains the technology in detail.

3. Which is better for bright rooms?
For sunny living rooms, a QLED, Neo QLED or Mini LED TV is a strong choice from either brand.
These TVs use a backlight, which lets them reach high brightness. Samsung's range includes QLED, Neo QLED and Mini LED models, such as the Q6F, QN85F and M80H. LG's equivalent is QNED, with Mini LED versions such as the QNED86, which lists a 120 Hz panel. Samsung has more models to choose from in this group, while LG keeps the line-up shorter and simpler.


4. Which is better on a budget?
Both brands have affordable 4K TVs, so compare the exact size and features rather than the logo.
A Samsung 55-inch Crystal UHD U8000H is $429 and the LG 55-inch NANO 4K UHD NU85 is $399. At 65 inches they are $539 and $551, and at 75 inches $899 and $888. Samsung also has a 43-inch Full HD model, the F6000, from $249. Prices are in USD and include VAT, and they can change, so check the product page. To shop by size, see 55 to 65 inch TVs and 75 to 86 inch TVs.
5. Smart platform and features
Samsung TVs use Tizen and LG TVs use webOS, and both give access to the major streaming services.
Try to see both menus before you decide, because the interface is what you will use every day. Samsung also makes The Frame, a TV designed to look like artwork when it is off, which has no direct equivalent in the LG range we sell. If you play on a recent console or watch a lot of sport, look for 120 Hz in the specifications. Our TV buying guide covers size, HDR and sound.
