| LGOLED evo C6 | SamsungQLED Q7F (2017) | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | March 2026 | 2017 |
| Display | ||
| Panel | OLED | LED LCD |
| Panel detail | WOLED; 77″ and 83″ use a Primary RGB Tandem panel with Hyper Radiant Colour Tech | Flat quantum-dot LED-backlit LCD. AVForums identifies its tested UK 55-inch panel as 10-bit VA with LEDs along the bottom edge; Samsung's UK size tables do not specify the LCD matrix or native refresh rate for the other sizes. |
| Resolution | 3840 × 2160 (4K) | 3840 × 2160 (4K) |
| Refresh rate | 165 Hz | – |
| HDR formats | Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG | HDR10, HDR10+, HLG |
| HDR extras | Dolby Vision IQ | Samsung's QHDR 1500 is a product label, not a measured 1500-nit result. Samsung confirmed HDR10+ on its 2017 UHD range through Prime Video in December 2017; the initial UK maker tables do not specify HDR formats or whether other sources gained HDR10+. |
| Screen finish | Glossy | Moth Eye anti-reflection treatment in each UK size table. |
| Colour range | – | Samsung's March 2017 launch claimed 100% colour volume for the QLED family. AVForums measured 95% DCI-P3 xy on its exact UK 55-inch test; this is a reviewer measurement, not a maker specification for every size. |
| Peak brightness | 1,251 nits in HDR on a 10% window, 65″ (Tom's Guide) | – |
| Picture processing | AI Picture Pro, AI HDR Remastering, Brightness Booster; 77″ and 83″ add Hyper Radiant Colour Tech (up to 3.2x peak brightness) | Samsung UK lists Auto Motion Plus, Supreme UHD Dimming, Q Viewing Angle and a 3100 Picture Quality Index. The index is a processing score, not the native panel refresh rate. Samsung Spain calls the 55-inch processor Q Engine, while the UK table says quad-core. |
| Picture modes | FILMMAKER MODE with Ambient Light Compensation, Creator Original mode | Film Mode and Auto Motion Plus in each UK maker table. What Hi-Fi? recommends reducing contrast enhancement and sharpening on its 55-inch test unit. |
| Motion handling | – | AVForums identifies a 100 Hz native panel in its UK 55-inch test and finds motion mostly good; What Hi-Fi? finds no ideal processing setting. The UK maker tables do not publish native Hz for all four sizes, so the main refresh row is omitted. |
| Viewing angle | – | Both independent UK 55-inch reviews find colour and black levels deteriorate away from the centre despite Samsung's Q Viewing Angle claim. |

Samsung's separate UK maker tables list four HDMI inputs and ARC on every size; no 4K 120 Hz or eARC capability is claimed. |
| Input lag | – | 23.8 ms (What Hi-Fi?) and 17.4 ms (AVForums) measured in Game Mode on separate exact UK 55-inch units; review measurements differ and are not assigned to other sizes. |
