Got the S90D a week or so ago and couldn’t be more happy. Going to a QD-OLED has transformed all of my favorite games thats i am going back and replaying all of them like it’s the first time again. The HDR picture even on the most accurate settings pops like i have never seen before. QD-OLED always.

@@Cigma-e7w G4 if you want 3d look (characters popping out) better upscaling for non native 4K games. Comes with 5 year warranty. Samsung has better colors, better color banding.
I’ve spent dozens of hours researching these 2023 and 2024 TV models, and your video is the first one that showed, compared, and discussed what a Nintendo Switch would look like on these TV’s. Bravo! and thank you very much in helping me finally decide on the S95D from Samsung!
After watching your video I bought the G4. The motion and the clarity are great. Put when playing video games, like call of duty and halo the picture looks dull and the color also. Tried everything in the settings and it doesn't elevate any of the problems. So decided to return and try the s95d and it is a night and day difference. The colors are so much more colorful and the picture is way more brighter. The guns in call of duty just glow off the screen. The only thing I see the g4 do better is the motion but everything else the s95d dose way better. Hopefully this helps someone that is undecided.
@beammeupscottsp7952 yea the samsung s95d is way more colorful. I thought the G4 was gonna be a little less colorful but it's a big difference. Like in call of duty when you call in a care package the smoke grenade is like grey light blue on the G4 and on the s95d is a bright purple vivid blue and jumps of the screen. And I watched a couple of animes and the colors are just more vivid it's crazy how much it glows on the s95d. I wanted to like the G4 because everybody says it's the best tv because of the motion and brightness and a better Ai chip and I guess it's more future proof with it's dolby vision and higher hdmi gb. But the samsung just looks so much better in person. Sorry to ramble. Just trying to help. Thanks.
I have the c4 55” for pc gaming and when me and ny friends installed it. The first thing i said after running the first game i said “ guys , is it me or the colors looks washed out” , i have a return window till jan 14 and i am concisering to return it and get the s90d
@@mohammedkalamchi544I got the s90d after owning the C1 and C4, I had the same issue, everything looked a little washed out. Returned and was thinking g4 but after what op said I ended getting the s90d instead. Game mode is another level.
can you tell me what is difference, im looking all week to buy new tv for my ps5 pro and i dont know what is best tv, i need from 40'' to 43'' for my room 50''.55'' are to big for my setup and i was thinking to buy s90d and now dont know
I just purchased the S90D and have been testing it with different content for 5 days now, is it just me or why do I feel that it's not a huge upgrade over my 2022 Hisense U8H? Specifically I assumed it would be a night and day difference and upgrade, the S90D seems dim and missing that pop in brightness and sometimes color, the Baseball playoff games also looked dark, are there different settings when viewing sports?
That is precisely the reason why I don't know whether to switch to an OLED TV. They're not exactly cheap, I wouldn't want to spend money on something that would disappoint me.
I think LG nerfing the C4’s game mode really takes it out of my buying list. Right now it’s a tough fight between the S90D and the Bravia 7. Better overall picture quality on the S90D, but better brightness, motion, and processing on the Bravia 7. I’m coming from a Hisense H9G which is very bright, but has terrible processing.
@@TechWithKGhi!, I’m coming from a 75” Sony Z9D that I couldn’t bring with me when I moved out of my parent’s house to another state. Are the 85” Hisense U8N and the 85” TCL 2024 QM8 good options? or should I save up and wait to get the 77” Sony A95L, the 85” Bravia 9 or the 83” LG G4 on Black Friday? I mainly stream movies and shows on 1080p, watch a few soccer games here and there and play 4k blu-ray movies 2 or 3 times a month through my Panasonic DP-UB820. I don’t game at all. 90% of the time I watch TV is at night. Thanks in advance for replying!
LG FOR LIFE.....all my LG I had since 2006 they delivered quality every time. I just bought a C3@$600, and it's mind-blowing......and the best part is beside all the goodies inside and being an OLED it has a GLASS SHEET (found out after I saw paws marks on the screen made by my cat - and I taught my C3 is GONE :(......) on it to protect the panel that makes it the perfect SCREEN YOU CAN DREAM OF....... I hope they continue this trend. Maybe the next one will be the C5 if it is worth it... GREAT VIDEO THANKS
why would you not have all TVs on HGIG (no tone mapping) so its a accurate comparison rather than making it about how each manufacturer applies their own way to do dynamic tone mapping
Most games don't support hgig so it's too dark also most people aren't using these TVs in the most accurate mode without tweaks because if you are you're literally wasting money since a tv from 2020 just as bright
Awesome upload, KG! Having lived with the S95D for two months now, I can say when properly dialed, it is the best gaming TV ever. During the day, however, contrast hit very, very evident due to the matt screen. Also, motion resolution needs to be better while watching movies.
@@rayenwoomed5323 I copied Classy Tech S95C settings with HDR Gaming on BASIC. And then tweaked BT2020 to a more accurate color performance based on my panel.
Very helpful video. Wanted to ask a question. I have a sony x93 mini led and want to upgrade to a oled, never had a oled tv before lol. Should I get the g4 or s95d. I mostly will use the tv for gaming on xbox-series-x. Witch one would u prefer. Thank you. I appreciate your time and hard work on your videos.
They are both really great and as you can see in the video they definitely trade blows, I like the image quality of the G4 better when it comes to movies and shows so I lean towards the LG G4, but the G4 can suffer with HDR color loss on it’s default tone mapping but these examples aren’t super common. S95D is the more capable TV in regards to luminance but G4 still looks brighter in most content. In game mode S95D wins color while the G4 has the edge with flexible HDR brightness like I showed with the sports games using DTM on.
@@robertluzania4536 for gaming in a DARK room, S95D is better. However, overall G4 is a better tv. Especially if you have high ambient light during day.
If you were in the UK i’d suggest every single time Panasonic even if you pay way more,You get everything in those sets,And the most premium picture quality on TVs to date,If your in the US i’d suggest the Sony for Picture quality with decent settings or for a more fleshed out gaming experience only i’d suggest LG/Samsungs OLEDs be it way lower quality in everything else though,Still decent.
Panasonic is,It wipes the floor for accuracy and processing better than the Sony,Not to forget stunning image quality and better settings more than both TVs combined,Nothing beats Pana and you don’t have them in the US.
really? this was my biggest question. im getting it for the bedroom and may game while my wife is trying to sleep. i dont need it to be blazing bright but i also dont want to feel disappointed with lack brightness. you dont feel its dim in the slightest?
@@majudua hi! i got this model and you can set the configuration in sports in the gaming mode, with a little adjust you can make it bright as the standar mode, it got pretty close, also you can access the other modes of image without leaving the game optimazer with a little hack but is not really necessary at least for game nights
This is still a thing with the Samsungs? I had drop outs like crazy on my MU8000 with PS4 pro, that’s why I switched to LG. I have gotten dropouts too with the LG but it’s very very rare
The G4 may be more “accurate” and in line with creator’s intent but the color depth and brightness of the QD OLEDs is much more pleasing to the eye. If it were my money, I’ld get the S95D to use in a bright room. Also, it’s disappointing how bad the C4 looks compared to the others. It has nowhere close to the picture quality of the competition. The C series has stagnated, it has not markedly improved since the C2 because LG has spent all the R&D money on the G series.
@@2jyeti909 not what I have seen recently they are all good and bad. Samsung just sells way more so there will be few more than lg that’s faulty and Sony is worse for Quality Control for the money you pay for it in my experience of working in this industry for over 14 years. Not the worse QC worse for what you pay for worse will be hisense then TCL and other small shite cheap brands you can get everywhere.
I was about to buy C4. But from what I see. I will go for Samsung instead propably. At First I wanted to buy G3. But for some reason they have it here where I live in one size and it is 65 inches. I was looking for 77 and it is nowhere to find here. Not even on the original lg web sites. lol. But really. Samsung does many things better. I can see it now thanks to this G.
No. Wrong. This is what some people get wrong. Thanks to qd-oleds better color volume, it achieves MORE accurate colors in HDR. Assuming more saturated and stronger colors = less accurate is wrong. Woleds are more undersaturated with certain shades and colors in HDR, compared to reference, than qd-oleds.
With the G4 - I assume you use ALLM and a regular TV mode to get gradation settings active and a better image. What is the impact on lag when doing this? (I know you checked with G3 - but curious about G4)
@@TechWithKG Thanks for confirming. Was thinking only to get a better image for gradation. I know the colour is all good in game mode. Though you did say it's a good work around for SDR still yeah? Great work on your videos too... Keep it up!
@@TechWithKG FYI.. I think there is an issue to address with using professional mode in gaming. If using HGIG, switching to professional mode does not make anything brighter when assessing the brightest colours and highlights. When you demo this, that seems to be happening, but I think that's a result of using a splitter. In multiple games ive tested on the G4, there is no brightness advantage or additional colour detail to be had in HDR games. This needs to be made clear to people. Lowering the peak value from 100 down to 0 you can see some additional brightness details. But no added brightness or saturation. At 100, it's the same as HGIG. It's not the case with movies. That works well there. But for game content this "hack" does not work as intended. Again, I think this is an issue because when using a splitter you cannot set the peak luminance correctly for multiple TVs.
Both have really excellent game modes, with little compromise the G4 is brighter overall. A95L would be similar in color brightness to the S90D in this video for its game mode. The A95L will have a cleaner game image virtually no color banding but if there is smooth gradation does work unlike the G4 which does have color banding and no real way to clean it up. You also have really great enhancements like reality creation that can enhance the image for Sony.
Dude, this is the BEST COMPARISON VIDEO I've ever seen!!! I've had to look at multiple YT videos trying to decide which of these EXACT TV's to buy!! Usually they show a few seconds of side by side and cut away to talk about something else but YOURS actually gives you time to SEE the difference between these flagship tv's while GAMING ! I now feel CONFIDENT in my decision to buy the S95D! Thank You IMMEASURABLY !!
Thanks. As long as you’re using a console that supports ALLM use that toggle on the G4 and tick it on in your console settings menu, once on you can play games with just slightly more latency, but in any picture mode you want.
how would the C4 compare to a 2018 LG Nano display in terms of picture and brightness? I want to upgrade to a C4 but worried about the game mode dimness
Great Video... Im looking into getting a smaller Tv for my PS5 in my bedroom.. Im thinking 42 inches and I was considering between the LG C4 and the Sony A90K.... Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!!!!!
Hi, a curiosity... who among Sony, Panasonic and LG performs the best upscaling and who has the best motion processor for SDR streaming content? I would like to get the best live viewing for streaming sports content compressed with h264 and h265 codecs for example. Panasonic has now improved with the new MZ2000 models and with the new mk2 processor on Z95A on this side and I've seen LG has also improved... Sony still remains a point of reference or have things changed? I saw that Panasonic uses an IFC Accurate for Upscaling. In conclusion, how are Sony Panasonic and LG positioned in this area? Thanks again Denis.
S95D is noticeably better and more capable, it’s the best color brightness I ever personally seen in a TV to date. Check out my comparison I did talking about them.
After 3 months of the S95D, I started getting black-outs, so I returned it 2nd one same thing. Went with the LG G4 and with it properly dialed in provided overall a superior picture than Samsung could ever hope to achieve. PC gaming and anime is phenomenal on the LG G4 vs S95D, I was getting color banding on the S95D real bad even after the second return. Tizen as a UI is complete trash, and It's still so very slow.
@@2jyeti909 this guy understands, and they only have a 1 year warranty. You might as well throw money in the trash if you think Samsung cares about their quality control.
@@2jyeti909 I had a Samsung Oled S95b and had to sell it for half the price to get a LG C3 best decision I've ever made! not sure how people review the Samsung so well
Thank you for your wisdom and work. I kept thinking about the C4 but clearly the G4 is the beast for me but out of reach for me. Maybe during clearance. Happy Holidays to you and your family 🥂
How would you compare the Samsung s90d 77inch vs the Sony Bravia 8 77 inch. Samsung $2300 Sony 3000. Since the Samsung is qd oiled vs regular oiled. What would you choose thanks.
Excellent comparison on the details. Appreciate your insights on details that don’t come through on our end through the camera. Would also like to see a comparison on 720p sports or faster moving lower bandwidth streaming content with how these TVs clean up the fuzz.
I have a c3 the colors looks washed out in game mode how can I fix it ? What are the best gaming OLED TVs for Sony, Samsung, LG ? Or is there other brands out there?
LG C4 has a rather annoying error when playing games: the color is lighter and the brightness is darker than normal. If you use it normally everything is great, I think it seems to be a software related error when recognizing the game. There are many posts on the internet to fix this error, please find and try
I bought 55” S95D as I live in a condo that’s 90% floor to ceiling windows that gets all the mid day and late afternoon sun. Dark/night scenes that were once impossible to watch on my old Sony X900E are actually viewable. I think the anti glare tech is impressive as it makes actually seeing what’s in a dark scene possible during the day versus a reflection of myself and whatever is around me during a dark scene. A lot of the online feedback is making me doubt my choice though as if this G4 is just superior. Is it that bright and clear that the reflections won’t be as distracting? I somehow doubt it…
For me, the main downside is that the S90D is nearly as bright and in some aspects slightly better, at a significantly better value. But I'm sure the matte screen has its place for bright environments, and both are excellent screens.
samsung has better image quality but it's not reliable, unfortunately it has a bad track record with displays having problems right after the warranty expires
It’s worse than LG,So i’d bet your bottom pound/Dollar it’s 10x worse than a Sony which it is,Samsungs are known for horrible processing and accuracy,That is true also,Coming from someone who’s seen all TVs,Pana is the best out of them all and has better settings and the best build quality,They are real premium sets,Look like a million dollars.
Do the colours sometimes look better on the S95D due to the Qd Oled panel or is it maybe just because of the pop that samsung adds to their picture presets, cause often times theyre more saturated if not calibrated. I dont want to call the G4 less capable in certain cases because it could just be the more accurate picture
It’s the QD OLED panel in most cases and if anything it is underutilized because the G4 can still look like the brighter TV, despite the S95D being more capable.
split between 65" s90d and g4. which is better for dvd, blu ray, youtube, and over the air broadcasting? i'm looking for smooth soap opera effect. coming from 2018 q8fn. i'm guessing either would be better than what i have now but is the g4 worth 1k more? thinking of getting 240hz monitor for gaming but if the s90 g4 is really good, i might skip it.
@@ravindrayoka6022 neither at the moment until bestbuy has their big discount again. I'll either get the s90d or the g4 if i can find an open box excellent
@@TechWithKG Problem is, College Football, Blue-Ray DVDs, Xbox Series X for the NCAA football game, Diablo IV, Devil May Cry and add normal TV watching too... so in my case which would you suggest as the all around between these 2?
Of course, QD-OLED wins, but it has one basic problem, namely, it is not available in the 83-inch size. Therefore, the successor of my 83A90J will be the LG 83G4.
I appreciate you being subbed with notifications definitely check your notification settings sometimes the bell just means it’ll ping your RUclips not email, so it’s not too intrusive.
I bought a 4090 so detail is really important to me. Is there a significant difference between the quality of detail between the C4 and the S90D? That will decide which one I buy Friday.
Can you compare LG G3 and LG C4? I am planning on buying between them and just want to see how C4 holds up, cant find any display unit in local stores so cant compare in person. If there isnt much of a difference I will go for G4.
I've been looking for a review regarding the best Nintendo Switch OLED experience for ages. Just found it. Since it's my main console, I think I'm going for S95D rather than G4.
I have a lg c9 moved it to my bedroom and bought a s90d i game 90 percent and watch some news off satellite it came down to money for me i loved the lg g4 in the store but got the s90d because it was the cheapest out of the four oled tv was the s90d a upgrade over the lg c9? Havent set it up yet doing some remodeling in the living room
The G4 has its own strengths too. Higher consistent brightness, better motion processing and 3D depth, glossy coating, support for Dolby Vision and DTS audio, and a 5 year panel warranty. Sure the Samsung is more colourful, but LG isn’t far behind this year. 91% of BT. 2020 vs 75% on the LG, about 15% difference.
I bet that after couple shitty firmware updates Samsung will drop to around 1400nits max. Remember S95B was 1500nits when released now it is 1000nits with very aggressive ABL. My 7 year old C7 is still going strong! My S95B had already 2 panel replacement.
LG seems more reliable yes I can agree. The G4 I would say if you watch mostly HDR movies is the way to go. It's got a sharper, clearer and overall brighter image. But for game mode and SDR its lacking a bit unfortunatley
s90D seems to be pushing brightness by increasing black crush. that way it can boost the brightness but also cool the TV by keeping overall similar light output. such settings also will increase percieved contrast, so i think they have some tricks up their sleeves here
As a panel s95d is superior, i tried both of the tv. As Pc user was disappointed with the s95d coz of connect box was really a glitchy and black out when i enable HDR on pc(asus4090). Also, the lack of mode preset: only graphic mode and standard. Plus the matt finish not for me for sure. That's why i chose the g4. Don't have any problem with Pc. Hopefully that help for someone looking to hook these with a pc
Can you tell me what kind of malfunction occurred when connecting to the PC? What is the review rate? Samsung TVs are also 144hz. It stands to reason that they should pay attention to the PC experience.
Once you turned on dynamic tone mapping, both LGs looked better than their counterparts. I use DTM on my C9 already anyway so I’d just do the same for the C4 because yes, without it on it does look dull as hell
It’s frustrating with new tvs coming out every year. Once you buy a tv you’re set for a few years. I wish companies would offer some sort of trade in program sort of like cellphones, where you could get credit towards an upgrade.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless it’s big technology jumps it’s usually minor things separating it if we’re talking similar price ranges, I think most shouldn’t worry about upgrading year to year. Same thing with cell phones I’m going to make a video talking about this soon. What tv did you recently buy?
@@TechWithKG looking forward to the video. I bought a 77 C2 last year. I love and enjoy the tv for both gaming and streaming. The newer sets with more color brightness are very intriguing though.
S90D is because it has QD OLED so you’ll see a color difference between the two, this was a technology jump WOLED is older tech QD OLED was newly introduced to improve on a lot of its shortcomings. Now in regards to brightness for that price bracket while it’s noticeably brighter than the C2 it will still be good for most content. C2 to the C3 wasn’t a huge jump and even C2 to C4 isn’t a giant leap either it’s just a peak brightness increase to get it closer to S90C / S90D. If you had bought a S90C for example it really wouldn’t be worth it to get a S90D as they are so similar. Another example is A80J from Sony that’s still very similar to the A80K and A80L, so I think unless there’s a technology jump it’s just minor improvements. That said even with upgrades in technology we are limited to the content we have available and most people don’t need more than something like a c2 77 inch like you have. I think your set for a few more years at least enjoy your C2!
He mentioned it shows up on camera more than in person, but yes removing some green can be done in less than 30 seconds with the control. Go to colors and remove some green from the 2pt white balance. Super simple.
please can you tell me one thing because it is very confusing. Samsung QN95D is the same QN90D but for other regions for other countries ? in US it calls QN90D but outside Calls QN95D ? or they are not same, Samsung just decided not to bring QN95D to the US market only QN90D?????
@TechWithKG I really enjoy your content and thanks for your effort! However, I have a important question on this one: Do I assume correctly that these TVs were not professionally calibrated? Therefore this a out of the box comparison. Having in mind that Samsung very often over saturates their colors, this could make a viewer think that in certain scenes Samsung S95C/S90D has a higher color brightness compared to the LG G4, while actually LG just shows a more accurate picture. Right? If this is the case, there should be a disclaimer in the video so that people understand this. Otherwise they might pay a lot of money for a TV based on a false assumption. Without a proper calibration of all TVs, it is hard to compare them....
So in terms of features what about response time etc, what about lg that have amd and nvidia gsync? Is that better, if you wanted to used pc games with tv? 🤷🏻♂️ also lg looks way better with dtm but would you use this? Would it even be avalible in game mode?
Is it just me or they all look very choppy playing starfield? What's the FPS like? Was that the issue? I noticed my C1 is very choppy when getting "low" frames ( 60-80) in most games.
Mate have you had any issues with the g4 having overblown whites and contrast issues? My games don't look right and I've had OLEDs for years. I can't believe my g4 is the worst Ive had

Whats the best Tv for gaming and watching movie? I have a samung S95D its good for gaming niice and bright but its loses detail and contrast when watching a movie, i had a 2023 sony that had much more detail but the britness was low 🤔
Does someone have a link to a clear explanation of the S95D's issues due to One Connect Box / 40 Gbps? I would ideally buy the S95D, but am planning on using it for my gaming PC (which has a 4090 RTX) and I'm seeing a fair amount of comments around black out, white noise, etc. issues but can't find an actual reason why that's happening... I would be very disappointed buying the S95D and having to compromise... Thanks!
This was an issue with last year’s OCB for the S95C most reviewers including me had no drop outs with the S95D. It wasn’t really related to it being 40gbps. I haven’t seen many reports about black outs on the S95D except one comment but I wasn’t able to verify it with anyone else yet.
The S95D is actually pretty good with processing in mind not too far behind the G4 but it’s a tricky topic because in a way you are very right the G4 has a perception that it’s clearer overall much like the A95L. It creates more detail and depth than any TV I’ve seen this year it uses some edge enhancing techniques and tricks to create that on top of that G4 is over sharpening the image a little bit. Samsung sharpness setting should be increased to try and get closer to this. I think in the future I’d like to see Samsung TVs put more emphasis on edge enhancing techniques and hopefully it is a toggle or slider.
Got the S90D a week or so ago and couldn’t be more happy. Going to a QD-OLED has transformed all of my favorite games thats i am going back and replaying all of them like it’s the first time again. The HDR picture even on the most accurate settings pops like i have never seen before. QD-OLED always.

can you tell me what is difference, im looking all week to buy new tv for my ps5 pro and i dont know what is best tv, i need from 40'' to 43'' for my room 50''.55'' are to big for my setup and i was thinking to buy s90d and now dont know
What size are these tvs?
I just purchased the S90D and have been testing it with different content for 5 days now, is it just me or why do I feel that it's not a huge upgrade over my 2022 Hisense U8H? Specifically I assumed it would be a night and day difference and upgrade, the S90D seems dim and missing that pop in brightness and sometimes color, the Baseball playoff games also looked dark, are there different settings when viewing sports?
That is precisely the reason why I don't know whether to switch to an OLED TV.
They're not exactly cheap, I wouldn't want to spend money on something that would disappoint me.
In general, QLED and miniLED TVs get much brighter than OLED TVs, just due to the fact that they have a white backlight layer, while OLEDs don't.
You could have a s90d woled instead of qd-oled

Stick with LG trust me.
Get the G4 bro its so much better.
I think LG nerfing the C4’s game mode really takes it out of my buying list. Right now it’s a tough fight between the S90D and the Bravia 7. Better overall picture quality on the S90D, but better brightness, motion, and processing on the Bravia 7. I’m coming from a Hisense H9G which is very bright, but has terrible processing.

LG FOR LIFE.....all my LG I had since 2006 they delivered quality every time. I just bought a C3@$600, and it's mind-blowing......and the best part is beside all the goodies inside and being an OLED it has a GLASS SHEET (found out after I saw paws marks on the screen made by my cat - and I taught my C3 is GONE :(......) on it to protect the panel that makes it the perfect SCREEN YOU CAN DREAM OF....... I hope they continue this trend. Maybe the next one will be the C5 if it is worth it... GREAT VIDEO THANKS
why would you not have all TVs on HGIG (no tone mapping) so its a accurate comparison rather than making it about how each manufacturer applies their own way to do dynamic tone mapping
Most games don't support hgig so it's too dark also most people aren't using these TVs in the most accurate mode without tweaks because if you are you're literally wasting money since a tv from 2020 just as bright
Awesome upload, KG!
Having lived with the S95D for two months now, I can say when properly dialed, it is the best gaming TV ever.
During the day, however, contrast hit very, very evident due to the matt screen.
Also, motion resolution needs to be better while watching movies.

Very helpful video. Wanted to ask a question. I have a sony x93 mini led and want to upgrade to a oled, never had a oled tv before lol. Should I get the g4 or s95d. I mostly will use the tv for gaming on xbox-series-x. Witch one would u prefer. Thank you. I appreciate your time and hard work on your videos.
They are both really great and as you can see in the video they definitely trade blows, I like the image quality of the G4 better when it comes to movies and shows so I lean towards the LG G4, but the G4 can suffer with HDR color loss on it’s default tone mapping but these examples aren’t super common. S95D is the more capable TV in regards to luminance but G4 still looks brighter in most content. In game mode S95D wins color while the G4 has the edge with flexible HDR brightness like I showed with the sports games using DTM on.
Thanks.
@@robertluzania4536 for gaming in a DARK room, S95D is better. However, overall G4 is a better tv. Especially if you have high ambient light during day.
If you were in the UK i’d suggest every single time Panasonic even if you pay way more,You get everything in those sets,And the most premium picture quality on TVs to date,If your in the US i’d suggest the Sony for Picture quality with decent settings or for a more fleshed out gaming experience only i’d suggest LG/Samsungs OLEDs be it way lower quality in everything else though,Still decent.
G4 or A95L are the best TVs on the market. They are the worth ones getting if you want the best.
Not for gaming

Awesome video. Do you have such comparisons with Sony A95L? I’m thinking of buying the A95L.
best a95l
Please help , have u experienced any drop outs (blackouts ) on the s95d?
This is still a thing with the Samsungs? I had drop outs like crazy on my MU8000 with PS4 pro, that’s why I switched to LG. I have gotten dropouts too with the LG but it’s very very rare
Its the One connect box, Phone Samsung or the store you bought it from. Their isnt anything you can do about it yourself
The G4 may be more “accurate” and in line with creator’s intent but the color depth and brightness of the QD OLEDs is much more pleasing to the eye. If it were my money, I’ld get the S95D to use in a bright room.
Also, it’s disappointing how bad the C4 looks compared to the others. It has nowhere close to the picture quality of the competition. The C series has stagnated, it has not markedly improved since the C2 because LG has spent all the R&D money on the G series.
Outside of game mode C4 is a noticable improvement over the C3 so I do have to give it props there.
I'll take the LG for the better manufacturer warranty and reliability over Samsung quality, imo.
@@2jyeti909 not what I have seen recently they are all good and bad. Samsung just sells way more so there will be few more than lg that’s faulty and Sony is worse for Quality Control for the money you pay for it in my experience of working in this industry for over 14 years. Not the worse QC worse for what you pay for worse will be hisense then TCL and other small shite cheap brands you can get everywhere.
I was about to buy C4. But from what I see. I will go for Samsung instead propably. At First I wanted to buy G3. But for some reason they have it here where I live in one size and it is 65 inches. I was looking for 77 and it is nowhere to find here. Not even on the original lg web sites. lol. But really. Samsung does many things better. I can see it now thanks to this G.
No. Wrong. This is what some people get wrong. Thanks to qd-oleds better color volume, it achieves MORE accurate colors in HDR. Assuming more saturated and stronger colors = less accurate is wrong. Woleds are more undersaturated with certain shades and colors in HDR, compared to reference, than qd-oleds.
Which hdmi splitter are you using?
What about the s92d? I haven't been able to find anything about it. How does it compare?

With the G4 - I assume you use ALLM and a regular TV mode to get gradation settings active and a better image. What is the impact on lag when doing this? (I know you checked with G3 - but curious about G4)
Smooth Gradation doesn’t work even with ALLM, also no reason to use the ALLM work around on the G4
@@TechWithKG Thanks for confirming. Was thinking only to get a better image for gradation. I know the colour is all good in game mode. Though you did say it's a good work around for SDR still yeah?
Great work on your videos too... Keep it up!
Yeah SDR it is worth using good point, but keep in mind Nintendo Switch doesn’t support ALLM so if that’s your SDR source it wouldn’t work with ALLM.
@@TechWithKG FYI.. I think there is an issue to address with using professional mode in gaming.
If using HGIG, switching to professional mode does not make anything brighter when assessing the brightest colours and highlights. When you demo this, that seems to be happening, but I think that's a result of using a splitter. In multiple games ive tested on the G4, there is no brightness advantage or additional colour detail to be had in HDR games. This needs to be made clear to people.
Lowering the peak value from 100 down to 0 you can see some additional brightness details. But no added brightness or saturation. At 100, it's the same as HGIG.
It's not the case with movies. That works well there. But for game content this "hack" does not work as intended.
Again, I think this is an issue because when using a splitter you cannot set the peak luminance correctly for multiple TVs.
I’m considering the G4 and the A95L. Which would you choose KG?
Both have really excellent game modes, with little compromise the G4 is brighter overall. A95L would be similar in color brightness to the S90D in this video for its game mode. The A95L will have a cleaner game image virtually no color banding but if there is smooth gradation does work unlike the G4 which does have color banding and no real way to clean it up. You also have really great enhancements like reality creation that can enhance the image for Sony.
@@TechWithKG yeah I think I’m gonna go A95L then. I wanted the G4 for image processing but I don’t wanna lose the color volume of QD Oled

Hi, a curiosity...
who among Sony, Panasonic and LG performs the best upscaling and who has the best motion processor for SDR streaming content?
I would like to get the best live viewing for streaming sports content compressed with h264 and h265 codecs for example.
Panasonic has now improved with the new MZ2000 models and with the new mk2 processor on Z95A on this side and I've seen LG has also improved...
Sony still remains a point of reference or have things changed? I saw that Panasonic uses an IFC Accurate for Upscaling. In conclusion, how are Sony Panasonic and LG positioned in this area?

How the hell do people hate on the S95D so much? I don't get it.
I bought 55” S95D as I live in a condo that’s 90% floor to ceiling windows that gets all the mid day and late afternoon sun. Dark/night scenes that were once impossible to watch on my old Sony X900E are actually viewable. I think the anti glare tech is impressive as it makes actually seeing what’s in a dark scene possible during the day versus a reflection of myself and whatever is around me during a dark scene. A lot of the online feedback is making me doubt my choice though as if this G4 is just superior. Is it that bright and clear that the reflections won’t be as distracting? I somehow doubt it…
Matte screen just kinda ugly and less premium looking
For me, the main downside is that the S90D is nearly as bright and in some aspects slightly better, at a significantly better value. But I'm sure the matte screen has its place for bright environments, and both are excellent screens.
Dimmin / blooming
People hate on anything and everything. C4 owner here I think all sets are wonderful
samsung has better image quality but it's not reliable, unfortunately it has a bad track record with displays having problems right after the warranty expires
It’s worse than LG,So i’d bet your bottom pound/Dollar it’s 10x worse than a Sony which it is,Samsungs are known for horrible processing and accuracy,That is true also,Coming from someone who’s seen all TVs,Pana is the best out of them all and has better settings and the best build quality,They are real premium sets,Look like a million dollars.
Do the colours sometimes look better on the S95D due to the Qd Oled panel or is it maybe just because of the pop that samsung adds to their picture presets, cause often times theyre more saturated if not calibrated. I dont want to call the G4 less capable in certain cases because it could just be the more accurate picture
It’s the QD OLED panel in most cases and if anything it is underutilized because the G4 can still look like the brighter TV, despite the S95D being more capable.

Depends on what you’re wanting on of your picture quality and what mode do you usually use on your TV?
Once you turned on dynamic tone mapping, both LGs looked better than their counterparts. I use DTM on my C9 already anyway so I’d just do the same for the C4 because yes, without it on it does look dull as hell
It’s frustrating with new tvs coming out every year. Once you buy a tv you’re set for a few years. I wish companies would offer some sort of trade in program sort of like cellphones, where you could get credit towards an upgrade.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless it’s big technology jumps it’s usually minor things separating it if we’re talking similar price ranges, I think most shouldn’t worry about upgrading year to year. Same thing with cell phones I’m going to make a video talking about this soon. What tv did you recently buy?
@@TechWithKG looking forward to the video. I bought a 77 C2 last year. I love and enjoy the tv for both gaming and streaming. The newer sets with more color brightness are very intriguing though.
S90D is because it has QD OLED so you’ll see a color difference between the two, this was a technology jump WOLED is older tech QD OLED was newly introduced to improve on a lot of its shortcomings. Now in regards to brightness for that price bracket while it’s noticeably brighter than the C2 it will still be good for most content. C2 to the C3 wasn’t a huge jump and even C2 to C4 isn’t a giant leap either it’s just a peak brightness increase to get it closer to S90C / S90D. If you had bought a S90C for example it really wouldn’t be worth it to get a S90D as they are so similar. Another example is A80J from Sony that’s still very similar to the A80K and A80L, so I think unless there’s a technology jump it’s just minor improvements. That said even with upgrades in technology we are limited to the content we have available and most people don’t need more than something like a c2 77 inch like you have. I think your set for a few more years at least enjoy your C2!

please can you tell me one thing because it is very confusing. Samsung QN95D is the same QN90D but for other regions for other countries ? in US it calls QN90D but outside Calls QN95D ? or they are not same, Samsung just decided not to bring QN95D to the US market only QN90D?????
Pity that we don't have something better than what you test on (those 4 TV's) so we truly can judge how the picture quality is.
@TechWithKG
I really enjoy your content and thanks for your effort! However, I have a important question on this one:
Do I assume correctly that these TVs were not professionally calibrated? Therefore this a out of the box comparison. Having in mind that Samsung very often over saturates their colors, this could make a viewer think that in certain scenes Samsung S95C/S90D has a higher color brightness compared to the LG G4, while actually LG just shows a more accurate picture. Right?
If this is the case, there should be a disclaimer in the video so that people understand this. Otherwise they might pay a lot of money for a TV based on a false assumption. Without a proper calibration of all TVs, it is hard to compare them....
The LG C4 use to be the bar for Gaming. What happened?
They wanted to create a gap with their premium G series model so the C series gets left behind with major upgrades plus the emergence of QD-OLED TVs.
So in terms of features what about response time etc, what about lg that have amd and nvidia gsync? Is that better, if you wanted to used pc games with tv? 🤷🏻♂️ also lg looks way better with dtm but would you use this? Would it even be avalible in game mode?
Is it just me or they all look very choppy playing starfield? What's the FPS like? Was that the issue? I noticed my C1 is very choppy when getting "low" frames ( 60-80) in most games.
Mate have you had any issues with the g4 having overblown whites and contrast issues? My games don't look right and I've had OLEDs for years. I can't believe my g4 is the worst Ive had
Maybe your system HDR settings are tuned too high this can cause highlights to be blown out, are you using HGIG or DTM on?
I own LG c4 65 inch and I play this game on it and it's looks pretty nice Colorful and brightly
Of course that's gonna be the case until u put it next to a qd oled
This was such a cool and different review video!!! 🎉 thank you!!
Hoping you can do the same for the Bravia 7/9, Qm851 85”, and the new QNED90/99t 75/86”. 🎉please.
Btw the is the first review type video I’ve seen where someone does lengthy info other than test videos 🎉
Hi KG, please continuously tell us what you are seeing as we are not there. Otherwise people will base opinion on compressed RUclips and the display they are watching it on
Whats the best Tv for gaming and watching movie? I have a samung S95D its good for gaming niice and bright but its loses detail and contrast when watching a movie, i had a 2023 sony that had much more detail but the britness was low 🤔
很棒的分析
Does someone have a link to a clear explanation of the S95D's issues due to One Connect Box / 40 Gbps? I would ideally buy the S95D, but am planning on using it for my gaming PC (which has a 4090 RTX) and I'm seeing a fair amount of comments around black out, white noise, etc. issues but can't find an actual reason why that's happening... I would be very disappointed buying the S95D and having to compromise... Thanks!
This was an issue with last year’s OCB for the S95C most reviewers including me had no drop outs with the S95D. It wasn’t really related to it being 40gbps. I haven’t seen many reports about black outs on the S95D except one comment but I wasn’t able to verify it with anyone else yet.
G4 pic looks great and better than others. Will it fit switch games?
This is what I needed to see. I’m definitely looking to buy a S95D now.
amazing review
i use a retrotink 4k with my switch, so hdr is on baby! LG G4 is arriving soon.
Game motion plus is a game changer. That’s why I went with Samsung.
Game motion plus is definitely underrated
I have the Sony X900H and about to get the S90D
My S90D died in 12 days , got the LG C4
S90D died already
not sure how anyone would rather get lg and enjoy that green sky
83 C4 vs 77 G4 from 8-9 feet? HDR gaming and hdr movie streaming. Basically same price now.
That color brightness and gradations of color on the S95D is impressive. Just wish the processing was on the level of the G4 or A95L.
The S95D is actually pretty good with processing in mind not too far behind the G4 but it’s a tricky topic because in a way you are very right the G4 has a perception that it’s clearer overall much like the A95L. It creates more detail and depth than any TV I’ve seen this year it uses some edge enhancing techniques and tricks to create that on top of that G4 is over sharpening the image a little bit. Samsung sharpness setting should be increased to try and get closer to this. I think in the future I’d like to see Samsung TVs put more emphasis on edge enhancing techniques and hopefully it is a toggle or slider.
great comparison. Thanks. I hope I will win the S95D in the christmas quiz from the gaming magazin I always buy.
