What Buyers Say
LG OLED evo - C5 series OLED65C5PUA 65.1"
The LG OLED C5 65-inch and 77-inch TVs receive overwhelmingly positive feedback for their stunning picture quality, deep blacks, vibrant colors, and excellent HDR performance.

Overall, it is highly recommended for both movies and gaming, especially in darker rooms.

Samsung QN80F QN85QN80FAFXZA 85"
Most buyers are thrilled with the picture quality, color accuracy, and ease of setup, calling it a great value for the price. However, a few verified reviews report serious issues: one received the wrong-size pedestal for an 85" TV, and another found a warped screen with permanent image damage. Samsung's customer service was described as unhelpful and slow in both cases, which significantly dampens the overall sentiment.
Pros
- Excellent picture quality
- Great color accuracy
- Easy setup
- Good value for money
- Crisp and clear display
Cons
- Missing popular apps
- Wrong-size pedestal in box for 85" model
- Warped screen with permanent image damage
- Unhelpful and slow customer service
- Long replacement shipping times
