Our Verdict

LG C1 OLED

Samsung QN85A

The LG C1 OLED is much better than the Samsung QN85A. The LG has a near-infinite contrast ratio, resulting in much deeper blacks with no blooming around bright objects. The LG also has much better reflection handling and better gaming performance, thanks to its nearly instantaneous response time. The Samsung is a lot brighter, so it can better handle glare in a bright room. However, it has worse picture quality overall.
