In this video I find that the Samsung S90C looks better than the LG C3, but after buying both and comparing them side by side, using the TVs only connected to a PC with HDMI for films and TV series (I never game), I ended up keeping the LG and returning the Samsung. Game mode is dimmer on the LG than on the Samsung, so obviously for a gamer, the Samsung is a better choice, but not for me. Before comparing, I followed Classy Tech Calibrations' recommendations. Although the setting of peak brightness definitely made the Samsung brighter, it wasn't a super necessary setting for me, and I found that the LG looked slightly clearer (higher definition), while the Samsung looked slightly smeared, which a friend also noticed right away, and I liked the colours more on the LG. Especially skin tones on human faces had a nicer, slightly brownish tint, whereas on the Samsung skin tones tended to look a bit more pink or even yellowish-greenish. In some cases, the LG also had a nice, warm golden tint to it, while the Samsung looked a bit sandy and dull. Greens could also at times look slightly more lively on the LG. Then the LG also generally made low quality content look better, although not in every single way - again the LG looked clearer, which could reveal more pixels but also preserve more details, while the Samsung looked more smeared, which removed large pixels but it also noticeably smeared details, and some might prefer that. Also, in some cases of really bad RUclips early 90s wrestling matches, the Samsung showed large areas of enormous pixels that were overly bright, while the LG made these areas look much less obtrusive, and the overall picture was just nicer and calmer to look at on the LG. One aspect where the Samsung was much better was reflection handling. Although the LG looked good in a bright room with open windows and the lights turned on, it's screen surface was a bit like a mirror (although removing the protective film improved this a bit), while the Samsung's matte coating eliminated most of the reflections. But I always use a dark room with curtains, so ... The LG wasn't a hands down win for me, but overall it was. Nevertheless, I would be happy to recommend the Samsung to anyone who can either only get the Samsung or it's a bit cheaper, or they prefer the settings of the Samsung. The differences were overall rather small.
@@Ben.Tama.X What do you mean? Film the LG C3 and the Samsung S90C next to each other and upload the video to RUclips? If that's what you mean, then I have already returned the Samsung, so I won't be able to do that. Also, my video camera is only in my phone, so not exactly great quality. I took a few photos, but even they don't look very accurate.
I have 55 inch s95b in living room and 77 inch c1 in gaming room. C1 is a great tv by itself however im just missing the colour of the qd oled. Once u go qd oled its hard to look back)
@@TheAntifluencer Lmao ASBL will not be removed it's Sony and you have no access to the service menu lol. A95K looks much worse than the S95C. HDR impact is trash barely scraped 1,000 nits. Nice try S95C is just destroying TV's. It hurts you! I know but hey who cares 😂. I enjoy playing Diablo at 4K 144HZ.
These comparisons are top notch with quite a few important details gone over that other reviewers seem to miss. If you are gaming on latest generation consoles or PC with all the goodies like 4K, HDR, 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, that is great! BUT... What if those aren't the only things that you play? What about the many titles that are on the Nintendo Switch and other previous generation consoles that so many people love to play that are 1080p or lower in resolution and strictly SDR only? Other reviewer giants seem to forget about that crowd of people. How do these TVs handle SDR brightness and colours? How well do they upscale lower resolutions? You see, that is something I very appreciate seeing in these comparisons! Kudos for covering this! 👍
Important. But no one spends this kind of money on a TV for the "best TV for NES". The answer you seek is Sony though. Best low res scalers of them all.
@@PadPoetI've had many Sony TVs. They've had the best scalers for decades. I like the A80L I currently have a Samsung and am between the S90C and A80L.
I mean yea anyone would be happy with any oled if their last tv was a 32” from 2006. Your comment literally holds zero weight in deciding between these tvs
Please, share the settings you’re using on both TVs. LGs on HDR Game and HGIG sometimes look dark and lifeless compared to Tone Mapping ON. It would be helpful if you shared settings used on both TVs to compare gaming. Thanks.
Agreed. Anyone with an lg oled knows this and it should have been specified at the start. He did mention subjectively it didn’t change things much but it would have been nice to show it.
Dope vid… Ive had the C2 and can say it’s a beautiful tv. Main reason im switching over to the Samsung is for more streaming options and I personally don’t see much difference with the Dolby stuff. I’m curious what the HDR10+ has to offer and I’m excited to compare to my 2018 75 LED which still shows amazingly
My friend try both they are pretty much equal except like him and maybe me in the future the samsung is better because of the 144hz vs LG is 120hz, the rest it pretty much personnal choice, im a samsung fan and my friend a LG and he went with a samsung
The fact that Samsung does not support Dolby Vision is an extremely big minus since almost every movie or series nowadays has Dolby Vision support and the difference is immense
but there is actually minimal difference to watching the same content in both dolby vision and HDR 10+ so dolby vision just becomes a lot less mandatory@@cansennotfound
I have s90c 65' on my living room and i can tell you is stunning because of the brightness, and for videogames HDR content is exquisite, i also got C3 55' for my bedroom, all i can say is a wonderful tv, contrast and blacks are better and more natural than the saturated colors on s90c, audio on LG C3 is better, WebOS is 50% faster, and fall in love with the Magic remote. C3 : more versatile, videogames and movies or series, i recommend this TV for a bedroom or a dark room, you gonna love watching this TV on movie or videogames night alone or with your gf, is just top notch S90C: stunning TV, for a living room you and your guests gonna love it, you gonna beat sun light with that brightness, this tv for just video games is crazy Both are crazier tvs all i can say go to the store and go fall in love with both of them and use them, make your decision after using them for a minute, both are top best oled tvs for that discounted price rn on april 2024
I returned a S90c because my wife and I did not enjoy the movie and tv motion and processing. Its a personal thing but we didn't like it and the picture felt flat in some ways as well. Ended up with a G3 and am a 100% happy. However for gaming the S90 was amazing and if you're gaming more than 50% of the time I'd get that over other options.
@@exhibitD79Did you try reducing the judder? Under picture clarity settings if you set it to custom there is an option to reduce the judder and blur. Try setting the judder all the way down.
@@exhibitD79 IMO a manual judder setting of 2 was the best result that I got out of it. Now on the LG I prefer a manual judder of 3 or the built in cinematic option. If you're still in your return period see if a store will let you try changing some settings in person to compare
@@TheAntifluencer On the S90c I had to reduce colors because Samsung way over does it out of the box. I'm a 100% happy with the colors on the G3 and I am not missing QD-OLEDs colors 98% of the time. I found that by boosting colors in game mode to 70-75 on the LG its almost as colorful as the QD OLED and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything when the LG does everything else so well. Yes I'll agree QD-OLED is a better panel but the way LG processes and works compared to Samsung to me is more important. And yes the A95L should be the TV of the year pricing aside
I have a 65” 95b in my bedroom. (Used to be in my man cave). I originally ordered the LG C3 to put in the man cave. The LG has a very nice organic picture and the colors are nice. But im def a brightness guy and after QD-OLED the c3 just wasn’t doing it for me. I have a 65” LG C1 in our living room but no one really watches that tv. I don’t play games anymore really either. But the LG C3 brightness just wasn’t making me happy enough. I thought about the G3 but $1000+ more for some brightness increase wasn’t worth it. Seems the Samsung s90c is the sweet spot for what I want. So i just called Best Buy to do an exchange so they will be delivering the s90c and picking up the LG c3 for return. Both tvs have their pros and cons but for me it was the brightness levels and colors for The QD-OLED that did it for me.
Doesn't the LG C3 maintain blacks better when not in a dark environment, though? I thought that QD-OLEDs suffered an issue where they reflected more ambient light than they absorbed compared to W-OLEDs? Or is that an issue that the S90C doesn't have compared to other QD-OLED displays? I'm trying to figure out which type of display will work best for me since I also use my PC for productivity and content creation. I need a screen that will still look good if I have to turn my overhead light on to write notes or draw concept art in my sketchbook.
First thing I do on every TV. C3 isn’t dim just next to a QD OLED it can look dimmer because it’s about half as capable brightness wise almost so it’s a bit more dramatic in camera when you have brightness differences.
@user-zn9ke8um8s it is bro, lg c3 only can reach 800 nits max while s90c can do 1000 nits, there is big diffrence, also in RTINGS review, s90c have good color volume than lg c3
@@antoniogf511 si es para jugar video juegos exclusivamente entonces comprate un Smasung.. si usaras la tele para películas la mayoría de veces entonces un LG
personally i don't like the Colour preset that samsung apply on the OLED, it's too vibrant and everything like skin tones looks red. even on my 75" Q90R the red's are over saturated. I use a 42" C3 for Gaming because i prefer the Absolute Blacks and stuff for Games over the QLED.
Just got my 77 c3. In a nut shell i simply care for overall accuracy and precison vs samsungs approach in regards to color pop and excessive brightness. Dont get me wrong the qdoled panel is the future, however i belive the 2nd gen panel requires some polish in the processing and accuracy department. Lets see what the 3rd gen panel has in store. Cheers ( toronto )
I bought the C3 and returned it within a few days because it developed a green line. I purchased the Samsung because of these reviews but the black on my Samsung is a gray color. It is not true black is there anyway to fix this in settings because as of right now, the C3 has a much better picture quality.
Top brightness means nothing in side by side comparison, especially something captured on a camera and then viewed on a screen. Brighter will always look more saturated in comparison. And max brightness that might look better on a video, could be blinding in a dark room during real world use, while the dimmer screen might itself be too much for real world use, so both would be normally turned down to brightness levels below even what is pictured. Even 300 nits in a dark room is like a flashbang, let alone 1000 nits.
How is the clarity on the s90c? I have a c2 and s95b, and while the colors are more vibrant in game mode on the s96b, my c2 feels alot clearer, especially in motion. Perhaps faster pixel response time? Could be pixel density since its smaller? But was also wondering if its due to the antireflective coating the qd oleds have.
Can someone shed some light on the motion issues with the Samsung? I have been hearing a lot of concerns and the LG C3 stands out when it comes to motion.
im watching this on a w oled monitor and i noticed a few things. as the samsung was brighter but the lighting was washed out... look at the definition of the football players the samsung has a lack of shading making the charicters look quite fake.. also i didnt find the colors as belivable. look at the sun when teh glare hits the screen.... the light on one is washed out the other looks so much better also was the samsung in 60hz mode it seemed blurry in the football game . i also noticed you where using the custom game setting on the lg and it just hapened to be the darkest setting in the line of presets.. .
@@halfaloafajudo9194 Yep noticed that too especially when he said samsung has better processing xD at 4:41 he switches to FMM and its just an inch dimmer than samsung, im not even starting about motion smoothing, many threads on reddit saying s90c does poor job at it, and obviously no upscaling and low bitrate content was talked about or shown so we can assume LG is better at that. And he wrote that samsung kills lg on netflix.... sheesh
@@renecastro3495 yes absolutely. The panel is way brighter and the HDR impact more noticeable with bright highlights. Also as a gamer there's a plethora of settings adjustments at your disposal within game mode and super low latency
Ok so I have the C3 and just bought the Samsung S90c and I am just not understanding because the picture of the Samsung isn’t remotely as clear and vivid as the C3. Is there some settings I need to change to fix this? Because right now there’s no comparison
Did you ever figure it out? I've been worried about samsungs color accuracy, contrast(3d effect), motion processing(less blurring with moving objects @ 720p/1080p) and being too bright on basic TV streaming/movies compared to the c3(i dont game with tvs). I have cx now in my bedroom and completely satisfied with it..but looking to buy a living room setup this weekend for movies and streaming...
I just bought the LG C3 2 days ago and it’s already got a green line down the side. Returning it and I just ordered the S90c on Samsungs website specifically due to this video. Hoping I made the right choice
So color is still an issue with LG then huh.. I have an LG Nanocell that is washed out, and wanted to upgrade to a better TV. I wanted to give LG another chance, but now I see I would have the same problem. I will go with a Samsung or a Sony.. wish Samsung had Dolby Vision
I need a new TV and am convinced on the S90C. It will be interesting if the C4 gets the G3 panel though. I'm not sure how LG can compete with the S90C. I feel like for the price it'll remain the king throughout 2024. LG needs to keep the WOLED on the G series, and just lower the price on the C4 with slight improvements over the C3. My only reservation is that I do think LG quality is better than Samsung these days. I went through a couple Samsung PC monitors that had problems until landing on this LG Ultragear. It doesn't matter if the Samsungs are better, this LG works correctly. I love it.
same concern with Samsung. I mainly play on desktop PC, and whenever I'm looking for a monitor, Samsung always has. good ones but a lot of times there are issues. even the warranty here on my country, Samsung gives 1yr the other big 2 gives 2yrs
I just returned my s90c. Oversaturated mess poor upscaling tv and inteligent mode on picture broken. Also very cheap and flimsy plastic and nowthere near to lg quality. LG is more accurate and quick enough. Also picture went black, then tried to change colour space and it was latest firmware. I never had a problems with lg tv and work straight from the box not like samsung.
@@TheAntifluencer i was talking about s95C sorry. I dont think so in the comparisons the s95C is brighter than G3 in game mode, sdr, and other modes. G3 is only brighter in filmmaker mode wchich is shit.
@@TheAntifluencer Bro i got at home a G1 and very happy with that but I think QD Oled is the way to go, MLA is nice but still the old woled technology. My friend bought a S95B and its way way better than my G1.
Thanks, what a great video! I'm playing with the LG E7 65'' and it has been good about 5 years, but you already highlighted things that newer ones by the LG are still "oldish". I have also aging/burn in -problem in the E7, so I ordered the s95b with the 5v extended warranty. Furthermore, I believe that 5 years in OLED technology is quite reaching max lifespan because pixels are aging faster, and my advice is not to buy any OLED without extended warranty :-) In my E7 over 4 years of usage, pixels have bad aging issues. Uniformity is bad, banding stripes and dark spots/areas, like the whole center of the screen having darker panel areas. I had two choices to go: QN90B or S95B. I just wanted to go for OLED because of the contrast and better black :-) BTW I already ordered the LG SE model but after watching your videos I changed my mind and choose to go for S95B. Luckily I was able to change my order and they had only one S95B in stock :-)
Thank you! Yeah the 7 series LGs definitely were more prone to burn in you will see the newer OLED TVs have much more protection in place. Hopefully you are enjoying the S95B.
My C7 lasted about 4 years before I finally started seeing burn in, people think you have to leave a TV on continuously to cause it, nope.... It's just wear and tear and that's the trade off we're making with OLED.
Reminds me of like an Android OLED vs Apple OLED comparison.. I find C3 colors being much much true color/tone, as Samsung a bit more unnatural (to vibrant) as with mobile phones. Give a thumbs up for C3 giving us a DTS on OLED displays.. now DTS.. if 95b or 90c had DTS it would be my first pick, now again, I am truly confused. Simply can not get wrong with anyone of them, I‘d say XB gamers 95/90, PS gamers C3
@TechWithKG it's clear lg was worried about burn in by pushing the extra brightness and color like they could have done. It makes sense but still sucks. This is also the issue with them offering these massive warranties they will try finding work arounds to make it so they don't have to worry as much. Which In turn will hurt areas of the image due to them trying to get as little warranty claims as possible. It's all business and we may see them slacking in areas for a while longer until they have confidence in the product. Issue is all of these changes makes it hard for them to trust there own product lol.
I bought a s95c and I'm happy with the brightness of the SDR, but the HDR is terrible. I used to use the OLED CX with DTM turned on, now I turned off the HGIG on the S95C and turned on the Active DTM and the movies are still dimmer than on my CX, the same goes for games. Yes, bright objects are really bright, but the rest of the picture looks dimmer, is this normal? (And yes, I turned off energy saving and other improvements and checked it hundreds of times)
With all the SuperBowl sales going on this is a great time to buy a TV and my Panasonic plasma finally gave up the ghost so it was destiny. Went to Best Buy after reading about OLED S90C and what a great near picture it was to the more pricey S95C. Personally for $1,600 I am more then satisfied with this Samsung OLED. I watch a decent amount of sports and I don’t see how it gets much better than this. I’m certainly satisfied.
Look at the mountain which has better detail. I get that some prefer color vibrancy/saturation but others, like myself prefer image clarity/detail (not to mention other aspects). To me it seems like LG for picture clarity/detail or Samsung for color vibrancy/saturation if those aspects of image quality are top reasons for your buying decision.
@@NexGenTekthey may think it because the samsung has so much picture pop that it kinda distracts you from the clarity it was doing it to me you get a sense of “too much going on”
@@getoveryourself2212 I can see that but the detail is definitely still there for another tv without that extra color I see why you'd be more focused on the detail good accusation
@@TheAntifluencer Lmao how are you literally the only one that doesn't understand the QN95C has the exact same processor 💀😂. Also in comparison it got destroyed just like the A95K when it comes to gaming and HDR impact. LG lucked out now they still deal with terrible uniformity on old WRGB tech. A95L will be a movie tv that's it. The Samsung neural processor is amazing. Your salty tears are enjoyable.
@@TheAntifluencer Pure stupidity I guess. There's already side by sides. Even against the Q900C the S95C even had brighter highlights no mini led has better clarity just like no W-RGB oled can compare. Your only hope is Sony. You feel left out this year 😭
Which would be best for just watching satellite TV (DirectTV) with mostly sports, 60% (basketball and football) and movies 25% (streamed through a laptop) with a little bit of PS 5 Gran Turismo and Uncharted mixed in, maybe 5%? Currently have a Panasonic ST60 with no issues that I absolutely love but need a bigger screen and will move that to the bedroom. Looking to go 77.
DirecTV has some pretty rough picture quality so both TVs can't help much there id say Samsung tends to make it look a bit more sharper which can help the feed quality. As for gaming S90C is a much better gaming TV overall. S90C is brighter for SDR like live TV as well if that matters.
@@TechWithKG Thanks for the recommendation. I almost bought the c3 last week, just going by everything I'd read in past years about the LG's, and figured I'd do a little more research just to make sure and I'm glad I did. I didn't realize how good the Samsung has gotten. FWIW I get a great picture through DirectTV, compared to any cable I've ever seen. Only issue is that in a storm you lose the feed but then I can just use the streaming feature from the PC I have hooked up.
Besides the price difference, the thing that made me never consider a qd oled is the brightness. It’s supposed to be as bright as a qled. Having briefly had a qled, the brightness even toned down bothered my eyes too much. I didn’t want to bother with another set that bright.
Hard to drop $2k on a TV that caps out at 200 nits in Game Mode. I know people have said you get used to it, but that’s even dimmer than my Nintendo Switch OLED and my budget 2019 Samsung. I’m sure it’s ok if you ONLY play games in a completely blacked out room, but I feel like I’d want a little flexibility.
Hey man, i recently got 1800€ from the insurance of my broken OLED C9. I would like to go for the S90C, but i have 2 questions. Is the Hye Sync App supported on the S90C and wich of both TV´s has the better black?
I'd like to see the difference between an S90C with a Gen 1 panel and an S90C with a Gen 2 panel. I returned my S95B because of skin tones. I have a 77 inch S90C now. It is much better, but it is too big for my bedroom.
I just can't conceive the skin tones looking all that different compared to other TVs and that issue alone being worth of repackaging the whole thing and then returning it.
@Minarreal it's actually a big difference, was one of the first things pointed out in reviews was how much better the natural tones looked including skin tones.
For brightness samsung clearly the winner, but for color acc maybe not, because from this video i see the blue sky is more realistic on lg. That what blue sky color i know. Samsung is a little bit red
Need some help, buying a new tv for my living room, it will mostly be used for Movies, Sports, streaming Tv shows and other content. I have a Samsung S95B in the basement for gaming. I’m thinking the S90C, C3, or A80L. Which tv do you recommend? Either one of the ones I mentioned or do you have another option? Thanks
I think maybe LG is better at preventing it but in a real world scenario the burn in risk is probably very similar and most people won't experience it for a couple of years with regular usage.
@@TechWithKGWhat does it mean "couple of years"? Your advice is to change TV's every 2-3 years? So what about gaming with minimum 14 to 30 hours non stop? Is that means in 2023 you cannot get proper TV because freaking Oled can't handle it, what a crap, my old qled Q7F lasted about 5 years but I bloody thrown everything at it like 30 hour constant playing, watching movies, youtube and basically anything and it lasted liked a rock and now in 2023 they releasing tv which you need more babysit rather playing on it or watching movies, what a crap time to buy a new TV
@@TechWithKG thanks...for reference of your preferred brightness levels is there a TV you tested before that you think is too bright? Also Do you think the image processing + motion is the same between the s90c and c3?
@@jayman3575 ever get to compare S90C motion? My a80J with smoothness at 1 is perfect for movies…but I heard s90C even with dejudder at 1 has soap opera vs Sony smoothing of 1 bc of Samsungs stronger interpolation.
It's essentially the same picture as the c2 and c1 with C3 having internal updates. Picture quality and brightness on S90c were better. My eyeballs processed a clearly better image and makeup than the C3. The 2nd gen Qdoled is better than nonMLA tech which is in the c series. Now G series is where they put there newest Oled tech called MLA(micro lighting allay) along they also put a nice price tag for there proud work and best overall TV than competition. They're all wonderful Tvs tho, With 1 being slightly better than the other.
@@JohnS858Who told you that BS? S90C its same last years model unless you buy 77" and if you happen to buy 55" or 65" you basically buying last years S95B 1 gen units so not everyone can accommodate 77" tv especially if room is not big enough
77in and 83in are the only 2 guaranteed to have gen. 2 panels in the S90c. So Tvs under that inch ratio, you may feel safer getting C3. Maybe I should've included that in original statement, but the rest stands true in the 77in. I've tested. Can't speak about 55 and 65in. So take it with grain of salt and if u can show me otherwise, I'm all ears.
@arturaszaleskis8907 so what's BS? There's no MLA in c series? G series is the best and it's there latest Oled tech. 2nd Gen Qd is superior to Oled. 77in and 83 only have 2nd gen panels for Samsung. I mean let's hear it. What's BS?
@arturaszaleskis8907 I guess when I went to best buy and seen a 77in C3 vs 77in S90c my eyeballs are BS? Makes total sense. Il stick to my opinion and still do since I've made purchase. My 77in s90c looks better in every way than the 77in c3!!!! That's a fact, opinion, eyeball in/of the truth. Where's your claim or reasonable proof? Like what I'd your response, you must know something I don't? I'm ALL EARS... waiting, LoL
The problem you have with this comparison which is misleading is that you say that Samsung is better in color when you have no reference device to judge. 100% of real testers say that the colors of samsung tvs in game mode are ultra saturated, but on your side you rely on your personal preferences to compare?? It's not professional at all.
If you don't enable "Peak Brightness" there will be 0 ABL even on full whites. I find it plenty bright without peak brightness, dimming was really annoying me on the C1.
Glad I bought the S90C over the C3 The S90C is a LG C3 killer Gaming is king 👑 S90C I’d think I’d be crying right now if I had a C3 after seeing this video side-by-side

Pixel shift shrinks the boundaries of the panel and it's annoying as it makes the panel uneven 😢. I know it's meant to do good but still it's very freaking annoying.
Gosh... so what should I do If 48" is the max usable for me as it is desktop "monitor"... (big desktop but still)... Why there is no 50" or less QD Oled! any advice? Of course I'm thinking of gaming from PC.
Hi, I'm looking to buy S90C. But I found out that you can't play HDR games when VRR is enabled. It is true? Your TV reviews is TOP notch, keep doing what You doing 😉
No Comparison , C3 is a very nice looking TV, but simply no match for the superior technology of QD-Oled which has brighter whites and colors plus near flawless panel uniformity. C3 is not priced accordingly……….

When you do these comparisons, you need to show the settings for comparison as we cannot see what modes you are using
In this video I find that the Samsung S90C looks better than the LG C3, but after buying both and comparing them side by side, using the TVs only connected to a PC with HDMI for films and TV series (I never game), I ended up keeping the LG and returning the Samsung. Game mode is dimmer on the LG than on the Samsung, so obviously for a gamer, the Samsung is a better choice, but not for me.
Before comparing, I followed Classy Tech Calibrations' recommendations.
Although the setting of peak brightness definitely made the Samsung brighter, it wasn't a super necessary setting for me, and I found that the LG looked slightly clearer (higher definition), while the Samsung looked slightly smeared, which a friend also noticed right away, and I liked the colours more on the LG. Especially skin tones on human faces had a nicer, slightly brownish tint, whereas on the Samsung skin tones tended to look a bit more pink or even yellowish-greenish. In some cases, the LG also had a nice, warm golden tint to it, while the Samsung looked a bit sandy and dull.
Greens could also at times look slightly more lively on the LG.
Then the LG also generally made low quality content look better, although not in every single way - again the LG looked clearer, which could reveal more pixels but also preserve more details, while the Samsung looked more smeared, which removed large pixels but it also noticeably smeared details, and some might prefer that. Also, in some cases of really bad RUclips early 90s wrestling matches, the Samsung showed large areas of enormous pixels that were overly bright, while the LG made these areas look much less obtrusive, and the overall picture was just nicer and calmer to look at on the LG.
One aspect where the Samsung was much better was reflection handling. Although the LG looked good in a bright room with open windows and the lights turned on, it's screen surface was a bit like a mirror (although removing the protective film improved this a bit), while the Samsung's matte coating eliminated most of the reflections. But I always use a dark room with curtains, so ...
The LG wasn't a hands down win for me, but overall it was. Nevertheless, I would be happy to recommend the Samsung to anyone who can either only get the Samsung or it's a bit cheaper, or they prefer the settings of the Samsung. The differences were overall rather small.
If i were you, i will make video comparisson between those two..

These comparisons are top notch with quite a few important details gone over that other reviewers seem to miss. If you are gaming on latest generation consoles or PC with all the goodies like 4K, HDR, 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, that is great! BUT... What if those aren't the only things that you play? What about the many titles that are on the Nintendo Switch and other previous generation consoles that so many people love to play that are 1080p or lower in resolution and strictly SDR only? Other reviewer giants seem to forget about that crowd of people.
How do these TVs handle SDR brightness and colours? How well do they upscale lower resolutions?
You see, that is something I very appreciate seeing in these comparisons! Kudos for covering this! 👍
The lg c3 wins clearly with Sdr low bitrate content and the Samsung wins in hdr
LG C3 is really good with SDR content.

Please, share the settings you’re using on both TVs. LGs on HDR Game and HGIG sometimes look dark and lifeless compared to Tone Mapping ON. It would be helpful if you shared settings used on both TVs to compare gaming. Thanks.
I think if he did that from the getgo, it would have destroyed the integrity of this TOTALLY unbiased vs, lol.
Actually you are correct I turned off hgig and turned on tone mapping and wow much brighter image.
Agreed. Anyone with an lg oled knows this and it should have been specified at the start. He did mention subjectively it didn’t change things much but it would have been nice to show it.
I commented on a RUclipsrs page Sunday about the gaming issues and he got MAD. But his video was sponsored by LG so I wasn’t surprised.
Dope vid… Ive had the C2 and can say it’s a beautiful tv. Main reason im switching over to the Samsung is for more streaming options and I personally don’t see much difference with the Dolby stuff. I’m curious what the HDR10+ has to offer and I’m excited to compare to my 2018 75 LED which still shows amazingly
My friend try both they are pretty much equal except like him and maybe me in the future the samsung is better because of the 144hz vs LG is 120hz, the rest it pretty much personnal choice, im a samsung fan and my friend a LG and he went with a samsung
The fact that Samsung does not support Dolby Vision is an extremely big minus since almost every movie or series nowadays has Dolby Vision support and the difference is immense
but there is actually minimal difference to watching the same content in both dolby vision and HDR 10+ so dolby vision just becomes a lot less mandatory@@cansennotfound

I returned a S90c because my wife and I did not enjoy the movie and tv motion and processing. Its a personal thing but we didn't like it and the picture felt flat in some ways as well. Ended up with a G3 and am a 100% happy. However for gaming the S90 was amazing and if you're gaming more than 50% of the time I'd get that over other options.

I have a 65” 95b in my bedroom. (Used to be in my man cave). I originally ordered the LG C3 to put in the man cave. The LG has a very nice organic picture and the colors are nice. But im def a brightness guy and after QD-OLED the c3 just wasn’t doing it for me. I have a 65” LG C1 in our living room but no one really watches that tv. I don’t play games anymore really either. But the LG C3 brightness just wasn’t making me happy enough. I thought about the G3 but $1000+ more for some brightness increase wasn’t worth it. Seems the Samsung s90c is the sweet spot for what I want. So i just called Best Buy to do an exchange so they will be delivering the s90c and picking up the LG c3 for return. Both tvs have their pros and cons but for me it was the brightness levels and colors for
The QD-OLED that did it for me.
Doesn't the LG C3 maintain blacks better when not in a dark environment, though? I thought that QD-OLEDs suffered an issue where they reflected more ambient light than they absorbed compared to W-OLEDs?
Or is that an issue that the S90C doesn't have compared to other QD-OLED displays?
I'm trying to figure out which type of display will work best for me since I also use my PC for productivity and content creation. I need a screen that will still look good if I have to turn my overhead light on to write notes or draw concept art in my sketchbook.
This is true for all qd oled’s, so yes, the s90C will have that issue
Did you deactivate the Energy Save Option in the LG Power Saving Settings? I have a C3 and it isn't that dim like in the video.
First thing I do on every TV. C3 isn’t dim just next to a QD OLED it can look dimmer because it’s about half as capable brightness wise almost so it’s a bit more dramatic in camera when you have brightness differences.
The LG is just dim. I made the mistake of buying one.

personally i don't like the Colour preset that samsung apply on the OLED, it's too vibrant and everything like skin tones looks red. even on my 75" Q90R the red's are over saturated. I use a 42" C3 for Gaming because i prefer the Absolute Blacks and stuff for Games over the QLED.
Just got my 77 c3. In a nut shell i simply care for overall accuracy and precison vs samsungs approach in regards to color pop and excessive brightness. Dont get me wrong the qdoled panel is the future, however i belive the 2nd gen panel requires some polish in the processing and accuracy department. Lets see what the 3rd gen panel has in store.
Cheers ( toronto )
I bought the C3 and returned it within a few days because it developed a green line. I purchased the Samsung because of these reviews but the black on my Samsung is a gray color. It is not true black is there anyway to fix this in settings because as of right now, the C3 has a much better picture quality.
Top brightness means nothing in side by side comparison, especially something captured on a camera and then viewed on a screen. Brighter will always look more saturated in comparison. And max brightness that might look better on a video, could be blinding in a dark room during real world use, while the dimmer screen might itself be too much for real world use, so both would be normally turned down to brightness levels below even what is pictured. Even 300 nits in a dark room is like a flashbang, let alone 1000 nits.
How is the clarity on the s90c? I have a c2 and s95b, and while the colors are more vibrant in game mode on the s96b, my c2 feels alot clearer, especially in motion. Perhaps faster pixel response time? Could be pixel density since its smaller? But was also wondering if its due to the antireflective coating the qd oleds have.
Can someone shed some light on the motion issues with the Samsung? I have been hearing a lot of concerns and the LG C3 stands out when it comes to motion.
im watching this on a w oled monitor and i noticed a few things. as the samsung was brighter but the lighting was washed out... look at the definition of the football players the samsung has a lack of shading making the charicters look quite fake.. also i didnt find the colors as belivable. look at the sun when teh glare hits the screen.... the light on one is washed out the other looks so much better also was the samsung in 60hz mode it seemed blurry in the football game
. i also noticed you where using the custom game setting on the lg and it just hapened to be the darkest setting in the line of presets.. .

Nice video KG. Please advise if you will ever do a review on the QN95C KG as Ive always loved your views on led tvs.
I need a new TV and am convinced on the S90C. It will be interesting if the C4 gets the G3 panel though. I'm not sure how LG can compete with the S90C. I feel like for the price it'll remain the king throughout 2024. LG needs to keep the WOLED on the G series, and just lower the price on the C4 with slight improvements over the C3. My only reservation is that I do think LG quality is better than Samsung these days. I went through a couple Samsung PC monitors that had problems until landing on this LG Ultragear. It doesn't matter if the Samsungs are better, this LG works correctly. I love it.
just saw a video, c4 won't have mla it seems
same concern with Samsung. I mainly play on desktop PC, and whenever I'm looking for a monitor, Samsung always has. good ones but a lot of times there are issues.

Thanks, what a great video! I'm playing with the LG E7 65'' and it has been good about 5 years, but you already highlighted things that newer ones by the LG are still "oldish". I have also aging/burn in -problem in the E7, so I ordered the s95b with the 5v extended warranty. Furthermore, I believe that 5 years in OLED technology is quite reaching max lifespan because pixels are aging faster, and my advice is not to buy any OLED without extended warranty :-) In my E7 over 4 years of usage, pixels have bad aging issues. Uniformity is bad, banding stripes and dark spots/areas, like the whole center of the screen having darker panel areas. I had two choices to go: QN90B or S95B. I just wanted to go for OLED because of the contrast and better black :-) BTW I already ordered the LG SE model but after watching your videos I changed my mind and choose to go for S95B. Luckily I was able to change my order and they had only one S95B in stock :-)
Thank you! Yeah the 7 series LGs definitely were more prone to burn in you will see the newer OLED TVs have much more protection in place. Hopefully you are enjoying the S95B.
My C7 lasted about 4 years before I finally started seeing burn in, people think you have to leave a TV on continuously to cause it, nope.... It's just wear and tear and that's the trade off we're making with OLED.

@@Osamabr I read all that. Just because you're slow & "all that" is a lot of writing to you, doesn't mean everyone else is also slow like you, kid.
Reminds me of like an Android OLED vs Apple OLED comparison.. I find C3 colors being much much true color/tone, as Samsung a bit more unnatural (to vibrant) as with mobile phones. Give a thumbs up for C3 giving us a DTS on OLED displays.. now DTS.. if 95b or 90c had DTS it would be my first pick, now again, I am truly confused. Simply can not get wrong with anyone of them, I‘d say XB gamers 95/90, PS gamers C3
If the Samsung had Dolby Vision and DTS output, I'd buy that. But since I play games and also watch a lot of movies, I'm going with the C3.
Since when the real world is so dim and flat looking like the C3? The Samsung looks more "natural" to me
I'm waiting to see if MLA comes to the C4
About time lg gave the c series a proper upgrade.
Highly doubtful they want the G series as the center of attention, if MLA comes to C no one will want the G.

Such a massive difference imo. The 3 seriew for lg just doesnt look as good as past in game mode.
I agree I have a comparison coming with the C1 and I think people will be surprised.
@TechWithKG it's clear lg was worried about burn in by pushing the extra brightness and color like they could have done. It makes sense but still sucks. This is also the issue with them offering these massive warranties they will try finding work arounds to make it so they don't have to worry as much. Which In turn will hurt areas of the image due to them trying to get as little warranty claims as possible. It's all business and we may see them slacking in areas for a while longer until they have confidence in the product. Issue is all of these changes makes it hard for them to trust there own product lol.
I bought a s95c and I'm happy with the brightness of the SDR, but the HDR is terrible. I used to use the OLED CX with DTM turned on, now I turned off the HGIG on the S95C and turned on the Active DTM and the movies are still dimmer than on my CX, the same goes for games. Yes, bright objects are really bright, but the rest of the picture looks dimmer, is this normal? (And yes, I turned off energy saving and other improvements and checked it hundreds of times)
With all the SuperBowl sales going on this is a great time to buy a TV and my Panasonic plasma finally gave up the ghost so it was destiny. Went to Best Buy after reading about OLED S90C and what a great near picture it was to the more pricey S95C. Personally for $1,600 I am more then satisfied with this Samsung OLED. I watch a decent amount of sports and I don’t see how it gets much better than this. I’m certainly satisfied.

S95B or C3 better in streaming, and gaming? In my countries the prices is very close for both of the TVs.
Look at the mountain which has better detail. I get that some prefer color vibrancy/saturation but others, like myself prefer image clarity/detail (not to mention other aspects).

Gradation is excellent on the qdoled.
Which would be best for just watching satellite TV (DirectTV) with mostly sports, 60% (basketball and football) and movies 25% (streamed through a laptop) with a little bit of PS 5 Gran Turismo and Uncharted mixed in, maybe 5%? Currently have a Panasonic ST60 with no issues that I absolutely love but need a bigger screen and will move that to the bedroom. Looking to go 77.
DirecTV has some pretty rough picture quality so both TVs can't help much there id say Samsung tends to make it look a bit more sharper which can help the feed quality. As for gaming S90C is a much better gaming TV overall. S90C is brighter for SDR like live TV as well if that matters.
@@TechWithKG Thanks for the recommendation. I almost bought the c3 last week, just going by everything I'd read in past years about the LG's, and figured I'd do a little more research just to make sure and I'm glad I did. I didn't realize how good the Samsung has gotten. FWIW I get a great picture through DirectTV, compared to any cable I've ever seen. Only issue is that in a storm you lose the feed but then I can just use the streaming feature from the PC I have hooked up.
Besides the price difference, the thing that made me never consider a qd oled is the brightness. It’s supposed to be as bright as a qled. Having briefly had a qled, the brightness even toned down bothered my eyes too much. I didn’t want to bother with another set that bright.

@@TechWithKGWhat does it mean "couple of years"? Your advice is to change TV's every 2-3 years? So what about gaming with minimum 14 to 30 hours non stop? Is that means in 2023 you cannot get proper TV because freaking Oled can't handle it, what a crap, my old qled Q7F lasted about 5 years but I bloody thrown everything at it like 30 hour constant playing, watching movies, youtube and basically anything and it lasted liked a rock and now in 2023 they releasing tv which you need more babysit rather playing on it or watching movies, what a crap time to buy a new TV
I was going for the c3 but now i am constantly questioning which one i should get 😅
Anyone compare these from a non gaming perspective but with 720p/1080p TV streaming and 4k movie streaming?
S90C is a better TV overall. Its more capable with color and it has higher peak brightness. It is a mismatch IMO.
@@TechWithKG thanks...for reference of your preferred brightness levels is there a TV you tested before that you think is too bright? Also Do you think the image processing + motion is the same between the s90c and c3?
@@jayman3575 ever get to compare
S90C motion? My a80J with smoothness at 1 is perfect for movies…but I heard s90C even with dejudder at 1 has soap opera vs Sony smoothing of 1 bc of Samsungs stronger interpolation.
How does the s90c 83’ with woled panel look tho? The lg software ja what’s largely responsible for the dull picture here when gaming.
Do u have contrast enhancer or dynamic tone mapping on the s90c?
i wanna know too lol
He has yes. This is pure scam. His videos are pathetic and scammy.
@@getoveryourself2212 KG didn't show what his settings were for the C3 before the comparison. I don't think this was a level playing field.
the Samsung is brighter but still would pick the lg c3
It's essentially the same picture as the c2 and c1 with C3 having internal updates. Picture quality and brightness on S90c were better. My eyeballs processed a clearly better image and makeup than the C3. The 2nd gen Qdoled is better than nonMLA tech which is in the c series. Now G series is where they put there newest Oled tech called MLA(micro lighting allay) along they also put a nice price tag for there proud work and best overall TV than competition. They're all wonderful Tvs tho, With 1 being slightly better than the other.
@@JohnS858Who told you that BS? S90C its same last years model unless you buy 77" and if you happen to buy 55" or 65" you basically buying last years S95B 1 gen units so not everyone can accommodate 77" tv especially if room is not big enough
77in and 83in are the only 2 guaranteed to have gen. 2 panels in the S90c. So Tvs under that inch ratio, you may feel safer getting C3. Maybe I should've included that in original statement, but the rest stands true in the 77in. I've tested. Can't speak about 55 and 65in. So take it with grain of salt and if u can show me otherwise, I'm all ears.
@arturaszaleskis8907 so what's BS? There's no MLA in c series? G series is the best and it's there latest Oled tech. 2nd Gen Qd is superior to Oled. 77in and 83 only have 2nd gen panels for Samsung. I mean let's hear it. What's BS?
@arturaszaleskis8907 I guess when I went to best buy and seen a 77in C3 vs 77in S90c my eyeballs are BS? Makes total sense. Il stick to my opinion and still do since I've made purchase. My 77in s90c looks better in every way than the 77in c3!!!! That's a fact, opinion, eyeball in/of the truth. Where's your claim or reasonable proof? Like what I'd your response, you must know something I don't? I'm ALL EARS... waiting, LoL
The problem you have with this comparison which is misleading is that you say that Samsung is better in color when you have no reference device to judge. 100% of real testers say that the colors of samsung tvs in game mode are ultra saturated, but on your side you rely on your personal preferences to compare?? It's not professional at all.
can you get black levels for s90c same or better than c3 even with less accuracy 2/ s90c vs vivid mode or max brightness does it make more closer !!?
Bro, you linked the s95c for the s90c on your Amazon link
The OLED is to dark compared to the QD-Oled
One thing I’m interested in is how bad is the aggressive ABL when playing games? Will the games continuously dim?
If you don't enable "Peak Brightness" there will be 0 ABL even on full whites. I find it plenty bright without peak brightness, dimming was really annoying me on the C1.
This is before adjusting any settings?
i would get QD OLED if i could but my max TV size can only be 48" so I must get the C3
the link for best buy on the s90c takes you to the s95c. please add link to the 90c so i can be confident i am still supportign your link
Someone can fix problem with grayed out subtitles options? I would like to watch movies with subtitles from USB
Glad I bought the S90C over the C3
The S90C is a LG C3 killer
Gaming is king 👑 S90C
I’d think I’d be crying right now if I had a C3 after seeing this video side-by-side
Just ordered the s90c today. Has Samsung updated firmware? Any improvements? What's your experience so far? I don't game. Just stream movies, tv shows and RUclips.
@@fausto412 congratulations 🍾 I hope you got it at Best Buy they’re having a great sale for Labor Day $2,599 for the 77inch I actually got the price guarantee on it for that price just before my 15 day price match expired they’re sending me a check for 300 and something dollars woot woot !!! Score
@@fausto412 yes, there was just an update and I did update it and no bugs to report or any problems
Firmware update 1220.9 also I watch a lot of RUclips the upscaling is awesome as well. I can’t think of anything I really don’t like to be quite honest also the viewing angles are sharp and crisp and vivid it’s one heck of a tv
@@PacificOceanQuest awesome. Thanks for responding. Mine arrives Friday. Been on a $500 plasma since 2014.
@@fausto412 right on that’s awesome you’re Going to be very excited the day it arrives
What do you think about Tcl C835 for gaming, is it better than samsung Qn90b? Both if them mini led
U8k is best but can be effected by dse.
Got the Samsung s90c but the lg c3 is a great tv as well
Pixel shift shrinks the boundaries of the panel and it's annoying as it makes the panel uneven 😢. I know it's meant to do good but still it's very freaking annoying.
Samsung oled fixed the black crush every damn oled had and no one noticed or just simply ignored
Why do they both look like they are darkening at the end of the video? Is that an abl thing?
Lol no that’s my bad I faded the video out to early
@@TechWithKG ok that's what I thought except the text below the TVs wasn't fading, so I was wondering if the tvs themselves were dimming.
@@stancartmankenny Yeah I definitely should of faded the text too
Gosh... so what should I do If 48" is the max usable for me as it is desktop "monitor"... (big desktop but still)... Why there is no 50" or less QD Oled! any advice? Of course I'm thinking of gaming from PC.
There are really nice QD-OLED monitors that have TV functionality Samsung G85SB is one I reviewed but they make wider ones as well.
S90 costs $1000 more than the QN99C so hard to justify your choice and I couldn't see any real difference.
Hi, I'm looking to buy S90C. But I found out that you can't play HDR games when VRR is enabled. It is true?
Your TV reviews is TOP notch, keep doing what You doing 😉
That’s absolutely false
What's the difference between the S89C & S90C?
Just the stand
@@TechWithKG thanks!
My s90c is still sitting in it's box and I plan on setting it up today, should I update to the latest firmware?
No updates yet
@@ArtemUskov awesome thx 😊
El Samsung tiene activado el potenciado del contraste por eso tiene más brillo pero eso es malo para la curva HDR
No Comparison , C3 is a very nice looking TV, but simply no match for the superior technology of QD-Oled which has brighter whites and colors plus near flawless panel uniformity.
C3 is not priced accordingly……….
Man in my country atm C3 cost around 2800 euros, while S90C 65 inch around 1650, soon i can buy double S90C for price of 1 C3 crazy.
That is crazy lol
@@jarekzahary C3 is trash for it's price, since C1 same shit every year, terrible.
@@jarekzahary LG fanbois has to accept that there is new and better technology, simple as that.
Everone saying about 77 inch version of S90C but what about 65? Is than also worth over C2, C3?
65 is good, definitely worth it over the LG C series lineup.
I won't consider Samsung until they support DolvyVision. Looking at the C3.
Is turning off the firmware auto-update option not enough in Samsung TVs?
Nope.
Some people even went through the lengths of sinkholing all DNS outbound traffic for Samsung updates, even with that there are no guarantees.
