LG G4- SAMSUNG S90D- SONY A95L. IN GAME MODE. 4K HDR.

[@riolmoore5418]

The first person to finally do a video comparing these tvs in GAME MODE!! Thank you 🙏

[@MM-Official]

Wise first minute and very kind piece of advice, thanks for that warm reminder, i hope you doing well Bro .

[@westibbs]

The difference in sharpness is simply due to the different relative sharpness levels you’ve set, not the TVs themselves. Also, correctly calibrated system level HGiG on the G4 will allow the most highlight detail and correct tone mapping versus the other two that don’t have true HGIG. Your settings are just inaccurate and incorrect. It would be very helpful if you correctly set the TVs to their most accurate modes first, then compared. This is an apples to oranges comparison since the settings are inaccurate for each set.

[@asole100]

I don't get why TV reviewers don't ever touch reality creation on the Sony for better sharpness. It's night, and day when adjusted, and set to manual from my own experience with the X90L which makes my base PS4 look way better (still trying to decide if to upgrade to the base PS5 or the PRO)

[@FlaviusPaul]

Bingo. Reality Creation need to put between 30-40 to feel that extra crips clear details. But users are to lazy.

[@xen1-o6h]

Awesome video. When it comes to gaming, is overall clarity and 3D pop better on the G4 or S90D?

[@consumerreview2k]

@xen1-o6h Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. They have a different approach to a 3d effect. It looks like the S90d has better sharpness and edge isolation but the g4 has better fine details that can bring out a more 3d effect between foreground and background but not as sharp looking. Plus the s90d color science being so vibrant helps the tv look very 3d in certain games.

[@xen1-o6h]

@ thanks for the reply. I ended up going with the G4. Try turning on super resolution to medium in game mode. Makes it a bit sharper and still retains the 3D pop. I wonder how that would compare to the S90D

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

❤❤❤ love your videos 😊

[@sergeantsnugglez3228]

Well considering the S90d 77 can be bought for 2k or less right now is a pretty big advantage. I think the Sony looks the best, but is insanely the most expensive.

[@christophercharles3426]

Great vid looking forward to your movie comparison and will be watching listening closely as thats all I'm interested in and use my tv for but.. looking to go 77 or 83 when I move.. currently have a panasonic 65hz2000 but am open to other brands if they can compare in the cinematic department... great vid all the best from the uk 🇬🇧 👍🏾

[@beammeupscottsp7952]

So would you say s90d sharpness is a lot better than prior models? I know youve had the s95c, is it a better processor this year since you are saying its almost as sharp at the g4?

[@garryj6311]

Make sure you set the G4 to HGIG tone mapping to avoid the highlights getting blown out.

[@westibbs]

The G4 correctly calibrated with HGIG is the only TV with “correct” creator intent tone mapping, including the most highlight detail. His settings are just wrong and nerfing the G4

[@SKLLZTHATKILLZ]

I have the G4 and much prefer the look with dynamic tone mapping set to on. HGIG looks fairly dim (atleast in BO6)

[@westibbs]

@@SKLLZTHATKILLZ you are preferring the raised mid tones, but the trade off will be blown out highlight detail.

[@SKLLZTHATKILLZ]

@westibbs surely must depend on the game. Only area i can notice detail lost in CoD is in the clouds but this is not a game where you are ever paying attention to the skybox.

[@pboissie]

@@SKLLZTHATKILLZsame here, i just got the G4, and i thought using hgig on my previous C9 made it dim, colors look less vibrant etc, almost like you put dark sunglasses 🕶️ on. Thought the high nit G4 would offset hgig dark filter look but it does not. Besides i hear only 4 or 5 games truly support hgig.

[@Pichoniix]

I have the S90D and the G4. I play Street Fighter 6 the G4 gives me more in terms of Smooth picture I love how the CAs look on the G4 I can see everything like Terry's CA or Akuma's CA look outstanding

[@TheGabrielSevero123]

i have a question to you man if you don't mind, i want to buy a TV for the PS5 Pro, and i'm thinking in the S90d and the G4, in terms of picture quality overall what's your experience? HDR, SDR, Colors etc..

[@consumerreview2k]

@TheGabrielSevero123 i think that the g4 can pull more details put can blowout highlight details when in dtm. Motion is smoother with the g4. Gaming menu is pretty equal but I'll give the edge to the g4 by a small margin. Colors go to the s90d hands down.

[@ptshotsun]

I appreciate the humblesness and information! This was the video I needed to help me decide. I have a sony 900H. Would you upgrade this year or wait a few more years? Thanks

[@Tomek1Oko]

I don’t play just rachet type games and I care a lot about colour accuracy in game mode, that’s why I will get G4 on Black Friday. Cannot wait

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

I just got the G4 83 on a BB Flash Sale for $4,500 and I had some credit, so got a great deal on it. I'm enjoying it. I do miss the QD Oled Colors, but my S90C looks too flat and yellow that I can't "calibrate" out and it has really aggressive ABL. I want a TV that's a happy medium between a G4 and QD Oled in terms of color.

[@consumerreview2k]

@MichelleAlexandria-EM. WOW congratulations. That 83inch must look amazing. I wanted to get i just got the 77inch. I wish it was the price that it is now when it was released lol.

[@jeffrhonemus3650]

Question- why does antenna watching programs look better on older LG oled than the G4 oled?

[@beammeupscottsp7952]

Whats the sharpness are using on the s90d?

[@duffsman316]

Do the HDR colour highlights (eg cyberpunk neons, especially reds) look more white on the G4 compared to the other 2?

[@consumerreview2k]

@duffsman316 Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Means allot. I definitely don't think they look red but they can look a little more soft or washed out.

[@duffsman316]

@ thanks for the reply, means a lot as not many people on here are doing seriously lengthy in depth comparisons. So would you say the neons look marginally more colourful on the QD OLEDs or significantly more colourful/washed out?

[@MellstoyMemShorts]

Hello! When you do film test and low quality video on this TV?

[@slsmaster]

If Main use case are Netflix Streaming and 4K Blu Rays: G4 or A95L?

[@DarkLionn83]

Is the G4 better with HGIG TM? I am gaming on the S95C, and before that on the G2. Awesome tvs all of them

[@dante19890]

Ye G4 is better with HGIG in a dark room. HGIG removes any tonemapping the tv does and lets the source (ex ps5) do the tonemapping. On s95C you always have some tonemapping going on even in its HGIG mode.

[@milunbosiljcic]

Can you calibrate G4 to have more contrast than what it comes with out of the box. It just seems to me it can do with a bit more contrast.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

S90D really surprises in Gaming, it can definetly hang in there with the A95L for half the price. Movies is another story entirely though. QD Oled for Gaming is just a Must at this point, as I'am a heavy Gamer I've decided to avoid the pale looking G4 for that reason, Colors are just too important in Games...

Done loads of research I’ve heard Depending on your location I believe Samsung models the 65 inch is a QD OLED the 77 is only a WOLED like the smaller 48 55 inch sizes. ( just my opinion, I will be gladly be proved wrong if I made a wrong statement )

[@myquietreviews]

@williamc4309 I'm in Washington State so the 55 65 & 77 inch should all be QD-OLED panels

[@Ginopinzon]

Definitely quality control issues on the S90D and S95D.. S90D is recommended for Best Value for your money... A95L is definitely better quality and A lot more features including More control over thermal throttling, better Upscaling, DTS-X, Dolby Atmos etc...If you notice in the beginning of this video the S90D was already dimming down and getting darker

The 2024 shootout makes it the No. 1 title by excluding Sony's weakness: games. It's a Sony fanboy contest. In the German Shootout, s95d got the highest score in the game.

[@RKoen2006]

Are you talking about the shootout in New York at Vaule Electronic? They sell all brands there they are not fan boys the tv which come closest to the professional monitor win every year. Samsung came close to Sony because they used the same panel but Samsung doesn't care about accurate color that's why they lose every year but it's still a very good tv only the best gets in the contest.

[@mayday6880]

11:20 check the stone wall in the background. Here G4 wins because of best near black level, but g4 has a smooth green tint, and that can be corrected, I think you didn't yet 😉 For me on darker content Woled wins, and bright images QD wins because of better colors

[@СНСАЛЕКСАНДАРВУЧИЋ]

QD OLED not has better colors, QD OLED has enhanced and warmer colors, LG G4 has realistic colors

[@mayday6880]

OK, then I'll put it another way: QD OLED, for technical reasons, produces richer colors at high brightness levels than White-OLED. Whether that's good or bad, oversaturated or not, is in the eye of the beholder.

[@mayday6880]

LG G4 has more realistivc colors because the TV is better factory 6500k color calibrated

hi, why did you choose the Samsung s90d and not the Samsung s95d? . I don't know which one to get, I'm worried that the s95d has the same black screen problems as the s95c, what would you recommend?

[@crowntotheundergroud]

u referring to raised blacks in a bright room? The s95d probably has that too. I don't see why it wouldn't. The quantum dots get excited by ambient light. Pretty major flaw, but it still performs better than woled where it matters, in a dark room. 2-3 times more color volume for everything other than white.

[@sandrocarannante4996]

no, I was referring to the fact that when I played with console or PC I had black screens lasting about 2 or 3 seconds every 20-30 minutes due to the one connect box

[@crowntotheundergroud]

@@sandrocarannante4996 no kidding? that's a bummer. I've heard lots of not so great things about the one connect box. Honestly, if I was going to get a qd-oled, I would go with the s90d, or s90c and modify the service menu to increase brightness. It's obviously more risky to do so, but you'll get similar pq for way cheaper. I don't know if you have a Microcenter around you, but mine sells refurbished TVs. I got my 77" s90cd from them for $1400. I saw a 65" s90c for $750, and right now they have several 65" s95c for $1000. They have the 77" s90c for $1350 and the 77" s90cd for $1300. I've gotten 4 of Microcenter's refurbished oleds and they were all practically like-new. I had to peel off the plastic screen protector off 3 of them and the 1 that didn't have it was still completely scratch free. No complaints whatsoever

[@consumerreview2k]

@saiyan_jt1339 the nice thing about the lg oleds is you have a very high level of black level controls on game mode. The g5 in game is brighter then the S90D. But I believe when the g4 is comapred to the S95D, particularly in game mode, the G4 and the S95D can look similar in overall brightness but the S95D has the advantage with color brightness just naturally due to it being a qd oled as they produce a more pure color vibrance and have a wider color gamut compared to the LG G4. This is the main reason why people love the qd oleds. So if you want to just mess around with the shadow detail settings a little and see what you think you may find it would help with black crush.

[@saiyan_jt1339]

LG G4

[@GalvatronTypeR]

During the Value Electronics 2024 shootout, the G4 got trounced by the S95D and A95L. The LG did not win one single picture quality category and finished a distant third behind the Samsung and Sony (while the Samsung finishing only one point behind the Sony despite the wide price delta). The only conclusion is until micro LED hits mainstream pricing, QD OLED is the future and WOLED is obsolete. MLA ain’t gonna cut it, LG really needs new tech to compete against quantum dot OLED.

[@dante19890]

The metric for winning that shootout is to best resemble to reference monitor. ITs not what tv can get the brightest.

[@sammydaman]

Stop right there!!!!!! The flower or whatever it is in the background on the G4 is orange when on the 2 other TVs it is clearly RED. So the G4 is terrible in color accuracy. FACT. Time 1:38
