LG vs Samsung 55-Inch OLED: Which Is Cheaper Per Inch?

By Jon Levesque··Updated May 15, 2026

Key Takeaway

A direct $/inch comparison of LG and Samsung 55-inch OLED TVs hits a dead end in live tracking — Samsung has no in-stock listing. LG’s OLED55B4P leads at $13.71/inch. We show you where Samsung pricing hides and how to calculate the missing number yourself.

Based on BuyPerUnit’s live tracking, no Samsung 55-inch OLED TV has an in-stock price listing as of May 15, 2026. LG’s OLED55B4P at $13.71/inch is a 55-inch OLED we track. Samsung’s 2026 S90H 55-inch OLED is priced externally but not in our database; check retailer sites to compare per-inch costs yourself.

The Short Answer

We can’t hand you a head-to-head price-per-inch winner today because live BuyPerUnit data contains zero in-stock listings for any Samsung 55-inch OLED TV. LG’s 55-inch OLED, the OLED55B4P, shows up at $13.71/inch. Samsung’s 55-inch S90H and S95H OLEDs are available through external retailers, but without a trackable listing we cannot confirm a current floor. For a real-time number, you’ll need to visit a retailer and run the math.

This gap means the comparison is currently one-sided. But it also means you have a clear baseline: any Samsung 55-inch OLED you find that costs more than $13.71 per inch is more expensive than LG’s B4. And if you spot one below that threshold, you have a potential bargain. The key is knowing where to look and how to calculate.

Price Per Inch Breakdown

One 55-inch OLED with an actual tracked price is from LG:

  • LG OLED55B4P – 55-inch Class B4 Series OLED 4K Smart TV – $754 ÷ 55 inches = $13.71/inch

This $/inch value comes directly from our database’s cheapest in-stock OLED listing for the size. No Samsung 55-inch OLED appears in our tracking, so we can’t put a second bar in this chart.

To put that B4 pricing in context, the cheapest OLED we track across all sizes (a 65-inch Panasonic Z85 at $10.23/inch) is cheaper per inch, but that’s a different screen size and brand.

What about other LG 55-inch models? The LG C5 series is also OLED, but as of May 15, 2026, it has no in-stock listing in our database. If they appear later, their $/inch may differ significantly. For now, the B4 remains the sole data point.

Samsung’s 55-Inch OLED Pricing: What We Know (from External Sources)

External announcements and retailer pages from early 2026 put Samsung’s 55-inch OLED models on the market:

  • Samsung S90H (55-inch) – listed at a price that works out to a per-inch figure, though the exact dollar amount varies by seller and date.
  • Samsung S95H (55-inch) – priced higher than the S90H, again without a static $/inch we can lock in.

Neither model has entered our verified database as an in-stock listing with a price. The only Samsung OLED we currently track is the 65-inch QN65S90DAFXZA at $14.53/inch — that’s a different size and doesn’t substitute for a 55-inch comparison.

If you’re shopping a Samsung 55-inch OLED, you’ll be working with retailer pages, not our live ticker. The calculation is exactly the same: (listed price ÷ 55) = $/inch.

Why Samsung 55-inch OLEDs Are Missing from Our Tracking

BuyPerUnit’s live feed captures only in-stock listings with verified prices from a curated set of retailers. As of our latest update on May 15, 2026, Samsung’s 55-inch OLED models — the S90H and S95H — have not appeared in that feed. This could be due to limited stock, regional availability, or simply that the models haven’t yet been added to the tracked retailers’ online inventories. New entries can appear at any time; when they do, this page will automatically update to reflect the cheapest $/inch among them. Until then, you have the tools to calculate the missing number yourself.

How to Calculate $/Inch Yourself (Step‑by‑Step)

Because the Samsung side is untracked, you become the analyst. Here’s the formula BuyPerUnit uses for every TV screen:

  1. Find the current price of the 55-inch OLED you’re considering (e.g., Samsung S90H or LG C5) on a retailer site.
  2. Divide that price by 55: $X ÷ 55 = $Y/inch.
  3. Compare to LG’s tracked B4 baseline of $13.71/inch. If a Samsung S90H is $720, that’s $13.09/inch — $0.62/inch cheaper than the B4. If it’s $790, it’s $14.36/inch — $0.65/inch more expensive.

No guesswork, no “feels premium” — just the arithmetic. When Samsung listings appear in our database, this page will automatically reflect the cheapest $/inch among them.

For a quick reference, here are a few hypothetical Samsung prices and their resulting $/inch:

Samsung S90H Price$/inchvs LG B4 ($13.71)
$690$12.55$1.16 cheaper
$720$13.09$0.62 cheaper
$754 (same as B4)$13.71equal
$790$14.36$0.65 more expensive
$850$15.45$1.74 more expensive

Use this table as a cheat sheet when you spot a listing.

Verdict

LG is one 55-inch OLED you can compare on BuyPerUnit today, with an exact price of $13.71/inch. Samsung offers 55-inch OLEDs through external channels, but until a verified listing hits our tracking, any per-inch number is yours to calculate. Prices checked May 15, 2026 — if a Samsung listing lands tomorrow, the picture could flip.
