    Samsung could change/fix some of the issues with firmware, so it may change in the future. That also brings risk of something else getting changed or broken with a firmware update though.

      Especially since what we have learned over the last years is that Samsung TVs are typically at their best performance in early firmware. Not sure if it’s possible to revert if one decides to take an update and regrets it.

    Your video is very strange to me. I have both of these panels and the S90D looks literally NOTHING like what your presenting here! My S90D (even on the newer 1201 firmware) has waaay better picture/brightness/colors than the LG. Like its not even close. And this is my first Samsung TV, as I literally have C2s, C3s, and one C4 in my house. Ive only ever bought LG Oleds. So in no way am i being partial to Samsung. The C4 and S90D are both (65in) setup for PC gaming in my office and are run on 4090s. You may wanna check or double check what panel you actually have. Would really suck if you later found out that you dont actually have a QD and have un intentionally mislead alot of people. Like seriously, something is up here!

      Would you recommend the S90D? I plan to get the 65” like yours. Reviews say it’s great for gaming with high hdr brightness in gaming mode. My only worry is when I’m watching SDR content like a movie or say a basketball game, the brightness won’t be as great. This will be my first OLED and I’m coming from a 2016 Samsung KS8000 LED. I’m kinda banking on the S90D being even brighter then my KS8000 since its a newer tv but I do have my worries

    On the LG, you can enable HGIG through the Windows Color Control app remotely as a setting for one of the non-GO modes. So you can use FMM+ HGIG for extra brightness and color, while retaining the true accuracy of HGIG. You just set it once and never need to use your PC again unless you turn HGIG off. This is the way.

    • @ClassyTechCalibrations
      @ClassyTechCalibrations  9 месяцев назад +6

      Color Control connection to the TV will implement a flag in the service menu that can cause LG to deny warranty service. With the adjustable tone mapping options you no longer need to do that anyway. Just set 4000 mastering to 100 and set the game to 1000 nits and it will mimic HGiG.

    It is good that you talk about FMM for gaming. I have been playing on my G3 with FMM+Allm+HGIG(using colorcontrol)+4:4:4 since day 1.
    Latency using FMM has never been a problem at all. Many youtubers talked about that without any proof. It was a big lie.
    Moreover LG FTDA is a game changer for HDR gaming. Most people do not realize how important it is to fix black level floor.
    Conclusion:despite all the BS said last year, the G3 is absolutly amazing for PC GAMING.
    However for console players, HGIG cannot be used with FMM.
    I am so glad I did not buy a samsung oled. Why ? For me HGIG and FTDA are 2 essential features for HDR gaming that bring a massive visual improvment. Also, being able to play with FMM is a great option for better color accuracy.
    In my eyes, the only weak point for my G3 is that color banding can be seen sometimes in few specific scenario. So that needs to be improved.

    Excellent comparison, it seems that because the S90D uses both WOLED and QD-OLED panels, they nerfed this year's QD-OLED outside of game mode, not surprising, because Samsung already does this with Galaxy smartphones that use both Exynos and Snapdragon.
    For example, you won't get Wi-Fi 7 on the S24+ Snapdragon variant, because the Exynos variant doesn't have a Wi-Fi 7 compatible modem.

      Definitely has nothing to do with WOLED panels. The issue is they are still gen 2 panels. Which are the same panels used in last years S90C. Now, that doesn’t mean they can’t get brighter. But they’d have to improve cooling and processing. So, it’s a bit brighter and has a bit more volume as a result of improvements. But it’s still going to be limited by the gen 2 panel.
      They don’t produce these panels by the way. It’s not really up to them. Samsung display is actually a separate company entirely. It’s where Samsung and Sony buy QDOLES displays. Just like every WOLED display is produced by LG display. So Samsung can’t just make new panels. They are buying them from Samsung display. And yes they are both subsidiaries of the same parent company. But they’re still very separate companies.

    Classy! Hope all is well. I'm torn. I have a 42C2 i use for work and gaming. I was thinking of upgrading to a 32" QD OLED monitor (one of the 2024 models). Then I started thinking of perhaps using a 55" Samsung QD OLED. Then I was thinking maybe that is too big. With this video, im thinking of swapping the 42C2 to a 42C4. Or even to the 48C4. What i like about the C series - 4 x hdmi 2.1 ports, glossy screen, dolby vision, apps built in. The QD Oled monitor has a bit higher peak brightness, better color luminance, higher refresh rate, a bit more comfortable screen size. The QD OLED tv would be the brightest, high color luminance, but I'd be about 3 feet away (if gaming, i could probably scoot back but while working, id be about 3-4 feet from the screen). Hmm. Or just stay with the 42C2? Help!

    Judging a TV on the Internet through somebody else’s camera and adjustments is like judging somebody stereo or comparing two stereos without being in the same room. There’s so many adjustments that can be made on a TV and a stereo and there’s different applications for each TV. I own a C9 a C1 and a C4 And I just got the Samsung for my family room because of all the reflections, you can literally see a picture of my kitchen in my screen. The Samsung mitigates that to about 75% Adjusted the way I like it in a bright room it has less glare than any lg I’ve owned. It has slightly more colors and brighter pic than any LG I’ve ever owned. I also compared it to the 77 inch LG c4 in my theater room and the color palette is greater. But that’s just my opinion TVs can be adjusted for preference. Anybody can put two TV side-by-side and make one look better than the other. I also went into the service menu and made sure that my TV was putting out maximum brightness and it was which means I didn’t have the newer software that Nerfed the s90d. But still some people may love the LG C4 better than the Samsung that’s fine, both are incredible tv’s. I’m just trying to make the point that TVs can be adjusted towards preference. Don’t always believe what you see through a camera on the Internet that’s why I subscribed to more than one person on the Internet, who reviews TVs. Would I change my c4 for the Samsung no because my c4 is in a dark room and for movies only and it has a gorgeous picture. And the Samsung with its anti glare is better in a bright room for ME. Does it sacrifice a little bit of contrast yes. What I’m trying to say is both TVs are excellent. I picked one for one application and I picked another one for another application. Though I do not like the matte screens on the s95 at all. LG and Samsung make fabulous products. Pick the one that works with your application. That’s like picking a speaker that works with your room and application. Why does it always have to be you’re wrong? I’m right ones better than the other. Why can’t people just help each other out with what they’ve got and help them to calibrate their TV, whatever model they have for the better. Also, there’s no such thing as the perfect TV. I just don’t know why everybody has to be so personal about it. It’s hilarious 😊😂😊
