LG OLED B9 If you are interested in an OLED TV, the LG B9 is a very good choice. Only OLED TVs boast so many features at once: perfect blacks, infinite contrast and a very wide viewing angle. These features are further enhanced by the availability of HDMI 2.1, which can handle all disciplines: gaming, HDR, sports and movies. However, its peak brightness is outperformed by LCD, so OLED is basically a better choice for darker rooms. | Samsung QLED Q80R The Samsung Q80R is in the upper midfield of the QLED lineup. It features a VA panel with Full Array Local Dimming, which produces an official black. The number of dimming zones is 50 and its 120 Hz panel makes it very suitable for gaming, sports and movies alike. It also works very well in bright rooms because its peak and average brightness are higher than of the LG B9. |

Our conclusion: Affordable OLED or great Gaming QLED?
As can be seen in the upper part on the graph, the LG B9 is almost all aspects is better. Partly the Samsung Q80R is on par in some disciplines and is even better suited for bright rooms, but for HDR, sports, gaming and movies the B9 has the top. However, if you want to use the TV in a very bright room, it definitely makes more sense to buy the Samsung Q80R. For almost any other purpose, the B9 is better.
