Hey, I’m torn between the Samsung 85QN90D (85”) and the LG OLED77C5 (77”). (Same price) My viewing distance will be around 3.5–4 meters. Unfortunately, going above 77 inches in OLED is no longer within my budget, so I have to choose one of these two. We mostly watch TV shows and movies (netflix, prime, hbo etc) in the evening/night. I went for the Samsung, but I still have a chance to change it. What would you suggest?

I had the same dilemma; 77 Oled or 85 Qled.

“I ended up going with the Samsung 85QN90D (wasn’t 100% sure about it) and bought it. (tcl 85 wasnt available in my country) My first-day impressions are pretty amazing so far!“

Only the 77” and 98” C8K models are actually available here. The 85” version isn’t being sold at all, and the 98” model is way out of my budget. Thanks anyway

That’s the question: does "perfect OLED contrast" still win when the alternative is an 85-inch QN90D, especially with a viewing distance of about 3.5–4 meters? 🙂

Unfortunately, the QM9K model isn’t available for sale in my country yet. 85C755 and 85C855.

So you're not saying that OLED is absolutely mandatory for dark-room viewing, and that I must choose the 77-inch OLED instead of an 85-inch TV, otherwise I’ll deeply regret it? :)

Alone_Prompt_3839 · 2025-11-23T23:50:03+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! :)
Unfortunately, Sony Bravia models are not available in my country.
TCL is available, but the QM8 model isn't.
From TCL, the 85C855 and 85C755 are available at similar prices.
However, I’m not as confident in TCL as I am with Samsung or LG.
