Our Verdict
Samsung Q80/Q80R QLED
LG C9 OLED
These are two different types of TVs, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The LG C9 is an OLED TV that delivers an outstanding dark room performance thanks to its perfect blacks. The C9 has wider viewing angles and delivers motion with almost no blur, thanks to the nearly instantaneous response time. The Samsung Q80R doesn't have the burn-in risk of the OLEDs and can get brighter, which is great for a bright room. Finally, the Samsung Q80R has low input lag with motion interpolation.
