This year was a good one for OLED TVs, with two major highlights being budget-minded models.
Tizen OS also makes it an easy sell.
Which is the better budget OLED TV, though?
Let’s find out which one might net you the better overall experience.
That’s right, both these cheaper OLEDs use the WOLED panel designed by LG Display.
Support for both FreeSync and G-Sync is also a plus.
As already mentioned, the LG B4 and Samsung S85D are largely built on a similar design ethos.
The LG B4 uses a 20W 2.0-channel speaker system against the Samsung S85D’s 20W 2.0-channel system.
Sharing the same panel means you’ll see very similar numbers in terms of brightness and color output.
Just look at the color volume on the S85D, reaching over 108% of the Rec709 gamut.
The accuracy of those colors, however, might not be quite as close as the B4.
Though marginally different, it goes to show the varied experiences you might expect between them.
And I think there’s no need to point out that their speaker systems are pretty bad.
But if we’re going on gaming alone, the clear winner would undoubtedly be the Samsung S85D.
You’re also simply getting the better overall metrics.
Why settle for something that’s objectively worse simply because it’s $300 less?
Thus, the Samsung S85D OLED TV is the clear winner of this face-off.
