It would be quite simple for me personally.

Samsung refusal to support Dolby Vision HDR in addition to their own HDR10+ standard when it is the predominant HDR tech used out there meaning  you get sub standard viewing for many sources. The LG will support both and will give better blacks.

The Samsung will though give retina burning over saturated colours (IMO) but if you are using this in a very bright room facing a window for example the LG as an OLED may struggle for brightness.

The room it going in can be fairly bright, 

Heard LG C2 Great for series X Not sure about PS5 tho, 

Dolby vision HDR would be good shame Samsung don't support it

Try a specialist AV site for comparisons of performance eg Reviews | AVForums

Not a gamer, so haven't looked into that side of things. I would find a gaming forum to ask those questions.

Both are good televisions.

Firstly, you would enjoy both televisions. They are both premium in that regard.

The LG model you have mentioned is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) TV. Whilst the Samsung is a backlit Quantum Dot Mini LED (QLED) TV.

The Samsung model is a variation of an LED LCD television with something called a quantum dot layer that emit their own differently coloured light. It is "transmissive" and relies on an array of LED backlight. Thus the television tends to be slightly thicker in depth. 

The LG model is an OLED and "emissive" meaning light is produced by millions of individual OLED sub pixels (which are dots used to compose the image you are watching). 

The difference leads to different picture quality effects, some of which might lean toward LCD whilst generally speaking more lean in favour of OLED technology.

The Samsung range often boasts vivid, bright and majestic colours, and they are well designed TVs with a Gaming mode with low latency. All other things being equal in a room, the Mini LED backlights generally make the Samsung brighter overall. However, the OLED TVs like the LG have absolute blacks (since each pixel can be turned off completely) delivering the ultimate contrast.

Generally speaking, this makes OLEDs simply superb for a sharp picture, strong contrast and movie like experience. You will not get any "blooming effect" on an OLED versus a Mini LED QLED. For example, if the TV is displaying a movie/documentary of the underwater sea, or space with a planet, or stars, or light on a dark background, it will be crystal sharp on the dark background without a halo around the object. OLED TVs in general also have better viewing angles for those sitting off centre. 

Resolution, video processing and sound are model based (e.g. 4K or 8K). Generally speaking, Sony TVs are golden for motion and you might also wish to consider a Sony OLED with its Acoustic sound which genuinely works - the screen vibrates at an ultra fast frequency to create sound as it moves across the screen. 

The downsides of OLED can be image retention/screen burn over time, though for most people's use case with the latest TVs, this isn't often noticed. Reviewers often test them by maintaining a static image on screen for days on end, which most home users are not going to be doing. In a similar manner, Samsung Neo QLED has created many many "local dimming zones" to counter the blooming effect to pretty great effect.

I would lean toward the LG C2 OLED out of the two, though the Samsung is also a solid pick. 

I'd also say, if you wanted to go for the ultimate technology right now, then there is a mix of both called QD-OLED. From what I understand, it's only available from either Samsung or Sony at the moment. That takes the best of both worlds by combining the self emissive lighting properties of an OLED with the colour, range and brightness of Quantum Dot. The light from each pixel passes through a Quantum Dot layer. Those are currently available in 55 inch or 65 inch models.

In short, probably the LG C2.

I will be buying a C2 so my vote is going to be fairly obvious.

You are comparing LCD and OLED TVs though and whilst the technologies are converging in general LCD can go brighter and so better in very bright rooms whereas OLED are much better at rendering blacks and so pictures have more contrast. 

If it were to go into a south facing conservatory then I'd be looking at an LCD screen, mines going into a fairly standard lounge and so will be OLED and specifically the C2
