LG S95 85" 2025 Review

The LG S95 bundle delivers a huge 85-inch screen and a powerful 9.1.5 soundbar in one box. Its best scores are for display size and audio, but picture quality and smart features are just average. Worth it if you want a simple, big-screen audio/video package and aren't a videophile.

The LG S95 bundle is an 85-inch QNED TV paired with a 9.1.5-channel soundbar system. It's a massive home theater package that promises big-screen visuals and immersive Dolby Atmos audio in one box.

Right away, you're getting a lot of screen for your money. The included S95TR soundbar with wireless speakers and subwoofer means you don't need to shop for audio separately, which is convenient if you're starting from scratch.

The display size is a standout—it's in the 87th percentile, meaning it's one of the biggest you can get without stepping into projector territory. Audio performance is also strong, landing in the 84th percentile thanks to that complete soundbar setup. But the picture quality itself is just middle of the pack. Our data shows it scores in the 43rd percentile for picture quality, and HDR performance is disappointing, sitting in the bottom quarter of all TVs we track. The smart TV platform and gaming features are also weak spots, both ranking in the bottom 25%.

At around $3,200, you're paying for the convenience of a big screen and a high-end sound system together. If you priced out an 85-inch TV and a comparable 9.1.5 soundbar separately, you'd likely spend more. The value is in the bundle, not in cutting-edge picture tech. Just know you're not getting top-tier HDR or the best smart TV experience for that money.

Compared to other large screens, it's a different beast. The Sony Bravia K98XR50 will have vastly better processing and picture quality, but it's also in a completely different price league. The TCL QM6K 85-inch offers better HDR and smart features for likely less money, but you'd need to add your own sound system. Samsung's Neo QLEDs will crush it in brightness and gaming. This LG bundle makes the most sense if your priority is size and integrated audio over having the absolute best picture.

Skip this if you're a videophile or serious gamer. The mediocre HDR and poor gaming scores mean you should look at Samsung Neo QLED or Sony Bravia models instead. Also, avoid it if you hate complicated sound system setups—even though it's a bundle, you still have to place multiple wireless speakers.

Buy this if you want a simple, all-in-one solution for a very large home theater and don't want to fuss with separate components. It's for the viewer who values a big, bright screen and room-filling sound more than perfect black levels or the latest gaming features. It's a solid pick for a casual movie and sports den.
