LG G4 AND SAMSUNG S90D SIDE BY SIDE IN GAME MODE. PROS AND CONS THAT I HAVE NOTICED PERSONALLY.

[@jtopdawg6]

I just purchased the Samsung s90d in 65” and this tv is nothing short of amazing!

[@Whitewolf_1186]

Nice! I've had mine for a few months now, and can confirm that the game mode looks SO much better than what you see here with the proper settings applied. These comparisons are sometimes helpful, but in this case it's not accurate given how washed out the S90D looks here.

[@jtopdawg6]

@@Whitewolf_1186I said the same thing here. I haven’t seen a washed out picture on mine like this since day one!

[@OrlandoJimenez-z6k]

I just purchased one S90D 65 in Amazon prime deal and I have seen a lot of reviews about this tv and comments are very positive about it, I think I made a good decision with this tv because my options was LG C4 and S90D , I chose S90D.

[@OrlandoJimenez-z6k]

[@Moose185]

I just got it too, what do you think of the motion processing? I turned all the picture clarity settings and still get slight soap opera effect on motion very annoying, is there another setting to get rid of this completely?

[@Electropylon]

13:27 Why do you have "Reduce Blue Light" enabled on the G4 in a comparison video like this?? Doesn't that cause the image to look warmer / more yellow? The comparison would be much more useful and fair if that was disabled, at least for the colors.

[@devilladark23]

Exactly!

[@MrReaperder2]

Because this guy is either trolling or has no clue what he is doing. In a different video he compares fine details, clarity and sharpness between the g4 and the a95l and sharpness is set to 11 on the a95l while 50 is the standard setting and comparable to 0 on the g4. And then he talks about how much sharper the g4 is while actively smoothing the image on the a95l smh

[@CaliFinestDemon]

The LG G4 looks better here than the S90D. It also won the shootout at MWAVE.

[@whykickamoocow63]

Yeah, LG looks more accurate in my opinion.

[@mayday6880]

it is more acurate color calibrated, G4 has a slighty green touch, but overal linear, so that can be corrected

[@exhibitD79]

Also. Just a quick note about the last comparison. Dynamic Tone Mapping was off on the LG. However, Active Tone Mapping (The Samsung Equivalent) was on. Maybe turn that off on the Samsung too and compare. There are two considerations with gaming picture experience. 1. Do you want this is look as close to reference as possible and accurate to creators intent? 2. Do you want the brightest most punchy image, regardless of accuracy? Both TVs do one of these better than the other. It's all about your preference.

[@ZeitGeist_TV]

That price disparity isn't worth better tone mapping on LG it's ridiculously overpriced.

[@Thereal1-G]

Forget price Ig has clearer picture more sharper with not the most perfect coolers to me this is much better for gaming rather than bright colours that the Samsung has and animated looking games tbh easy way to put it the Samsung makes most games look like your playing Fortnite every game you play very cartoony which is fine if that’s what you like but the lg maybe a bit faded or Shal I say less colour perfect but the clarity sharpness clearness looking like your in a movie instead of a game is the lg so each to there own me personally prefer the lg but have nothing against the Samsung as it’s a lot cheaper in price so for budget go get the Samsung or for the best quality go lg it’s up to you how much you want to spend

[@Smuh46]

LG G4 is way ahead of anything else ❤

[@Thereal1-G]

I own the g4 and love the s90d I would be happy with either but I just wanted best of the best without worrying is it too expensive so I went for the lg

[@lionjordan9248]

18:20 Samsung uses MaxDML unlike LG and Sony that use MaxCLL. Samsung usually tries to avoid white clipping, so the details near white are easier to see, so bright-greys are the best on Samsung, but this also creates few downsides: the overall brightness of the scene will be lower, because this way will try to preserve details near white. And second downside is that it will lose details near black and this creates black crush. Sony usually have raised blacks with the best shadow detail but this also creates white clipping/highlights crush, so details near white are lost so the overall picture looks more washed out, less "contrasty". LG is like Sony, but also tries to be like Samsung to a certain degree so LG is the middle ground. LG won't be like Samsung, LG won't preserve details near white like Samsung. I think MaxDML is also used by Philips, with good details near white but also black crush.

[@ehenningsen]

I saw many side by side comparisons and chose the S95D as that is the ultimate TV for my experience

[@andreweber234]

Does it have raised blacks even without lights?

[@Sven-w9l]

15:20 color brightness with dtm:off can be retained to some degree with the 4000 nits slider within the dtm "professional setting". The reason why 4000 nits tonemapping is applied here, is the lack of hdr metadata. Most tvs assume 4000 nits peak brightness with no metadata sent, exception is dtm (dynamically adjusting) and hgig( hard clipping).

[@eugenecia9424]

I just bought the G4, as a total package it is simply the best TV. It also comes out as a winner in 9 out of ten tests. I don't miss anything at all when it comes to colors.Qled is better technology, and better colors blah blah, and yet the G4 wins in most comparisons. 😅😅

@ I just don't like the connect box and the issues that it comes with regarding gaming so the LG or saving money for the S90D is better.

[@consumerreview2k]

@eugeneecia9424. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Means allot. The G4 is an amazing tv that I feel deserves more recognition then it gets. Although I can certainly see some things that I wish were a little bit more fine tuned, it still looks amazing either way. There's sometimes where I wish dtm was more refined but at times I find myself not caring as much because I rather have the overall brightness of dtm being on. So if I have to sacrifice a little bit of a blown out sky I don't as much. I just wish they didn't rely on dimming the tv in order to preserve details in highlights.

[@davidross7255]

Hey great video as usual. I think whenever you compare WOLED to the QDOLED, color volume is always going to be a win for QDOLED just like pure white is going to be the strength of WOLED. Dynamic tone mapping is not the issue it's more so panel technology limitations. Even if LG unlocked the peak brightness and other settings in game mode that doesn't mean you would get more color volume, it may just wash the picture out even more. I think that MLA gets you close enough to QDOLED and the more that they refine it will remain competitive to QDOLED. Comparing TVs are cool, but most people don't buy TVs to compare and if there not side by side then your eyes are going to adjust to whatever picture you're watching. What's important is understanding both panel technology strengths and limitations and adjusting your expectations and see if it fits your use case. As always, I appreciate your content and your consumer like approach.

[@kasramoghaddam1389]

Awesome video, as always. I, too, hate the S95D matt screen. However, for gaming, it has the best picture I have ever seen. I suggest you give it a shot. (But you need to calibrate it to bt2020) even better than my current lg G4. I can share my settings with you in case you get your hands on one.

[@exhibitD79]

In what way is it better. It won't be better in terms of details and fidelity. I had the S95C last year.

[@enzopied3015]

Itll be the same in details and fidelity if you put the sharpness upto 20 to match the undefeatable raised sharpness on the g4 People gotta stop saying this without realizing why it is. The rest, sure, go for it in comparisons

[@exhibitD79]

@@enzopied3015 It is not the same because it's not just sharpness processing. It is masking elements in the image and adjusting brightness around them and edges dynamically. I went through this last year with the S95C trying to make it look the same. You can't. I'm not saying the Samsung isn't great. But on this aspect it cannot replicate what the G4 does. Generally it also lacks the granular picture controls and accuracy in game mode. If you want authentic, G4 is better. If you want bright image in colour and brightness regardless of accuracy, then Samsung is better.

Good video. I cant wait to unleash the 100 inch.

[@uhMaxx]

it would be alot better if you did a comparison with HGiG as it has the most Pop with it engaged and is supposed to be the most accurate picture, Dynamic Tone Mapping makes the picture look alot flatter and washed, HDR is supposed to be used for accuracy but some just use DTM for a brightness boosts

[@bossgbini]

Excellent video, bro. Kindly do this detailed comparison vs the S95D. Thanks again!

[@exhibitD79]

Watching this again i think i have picked up on something that is being confused. Dynamic tone mapping will make bright areas darker and dark area brighter. If you want to make the brighter colors on the G4 brighter, you need to use Brightness > Professional Mode > 4000 Nit container slider and set to 70-100. Test the same thing and you will see what I mean.

[@User-ys7cb]

Doesn't matter what looks better as long as QD-OLED has vertical pulsating lines in dark scenes. QD-OLED could look 5x as good as WOLED and I still couldn't accept this issue.

Seems like S90D is crushing blacks, maybe thats why you feel it has more 3D look. In the beginning of the video you can see it on the wood in the middle to the right if it a smaller piece of wood where the lg has detail and its almost all black on the samsung. Also LG feels more realistic and warmer on the colours even though samsung red is bright it also has a cooler image

Hello mate, it seems the s90d is less bright than the g4 in game mode is this the case? Or is it the dtm on the lg that makes it looks much more bright?

[@giotorres9848]

0 matters same as glossy look at villaman he just relase the best video of g4 vs s95d the matt screen is the real deal for bright room and in a dark room same as glossy

[@giotorres9848]

also fomo and brain came bak from mwave comparing all the top tier tvs and fomo chose s95d for the win and brian the g4

[@doicenti9033]

You cannot have dark room if the TV is turned on. The TV brightens up the room, then the light created by the TV goes to the walls/stuff in the room and then reflected back to the TV. My LG G3 becomes an IPS because I have a white wall next to the G3, it lights up the whole room, even if I don't have any other light source in the room. So there's not such thing as a dark room when you have a 77 inch light bulb in the room.

[@bowee257]

so glad I got a Samsung S90D instead.

[@exhibitD79]

Samsung S90D and S95D DO NOT track PQ EOTF properly. They are both over tracking and so the picture is too bright overall. This was the same last year. Vincent from HDTV Test has measured this in his video. And also Rtings. ''The Samsung S90D/S90DD has excellent HDR brightness in Game Mode. It slightly over-brightens the image, which makes it brighter and more vibrant overall, but it isn't as accurate.'' You can correct this in the settings mostly. This means though, that overall picture brightness difference is not as dramatic as shown in this video once corrected.

[@justinstewart3248]

So what settings are these TVs on? Is this a default setting? I mean the LG looks great but I think you could make the S90D look just as good?

If all you care about is slightly more vibrant colours in very bright areas. Yes. The S90D is better. However. Details are better on the G4. And most importantly, if you game, there are much better controls for adjusting the image. This matters a lot! Many games ship with poor implementation of HDR and other issues. You can fix a lot of this stuff. The Samsung has no way to adjust black levels without making the whole image darker. The LG does.
