LG C4 vs. Samsung S90D: Battle of The Upper Mid-Range OLEDs

[@amitsamra1937]

I went to BestBuy and Costco to check out the LG C4 since they have slightly different lighting conditions. I stood at the left and right edges and I couldn't notice the green tint - realistically, how far from center do people watch TV? From the center, the picture was absolutely stunning. Brightness was not an issue at all.

[@Whitewolf_1186]

Can confirm how colorful and vibrant the S90D looks. I've had mine for a month now, and the only minor gripes I have are the low bitrate content smoothing (which i knew wouldn't be the greatest going in, but isn't completely terrible), and how the depth enhancer can sometimes blur the picture a tad depending on where it 'thinks' you're looking, but beyond that it's the best tv I've ever owned. It's stupid bright, has fun colour and contrast boosting options, is very versatile in game mode to go with the auto genre tone mapping, and upscales everything you could possibly want to watch so well that it feels like you're watching all of your old favourites for the first time! Could the processing be a tad better? Definitely, but this tv more than makes up for it with everything else it offers. Highly recommend, especially for the price!

[@Impetu0us]

Seems like the same situation from 2023, LG really should have brought MLA to the C series, or reintroduced something between C & G series like there used to be so that they can be competitive on price against the S90C/D. I like WebOS and LG's mitigation against burn in but S90C/D just seems like a no brainer over the C3/4. I wish Samsung would stop being so stubborn with Dolby Vision/DTS as well.

[@stephenpatterson8056]

Samsung's second gen QD-OLED, based off of rtings testing, is superior to LG's efforts in terms of burn in mitigation. G3 had more burn in after 8 months than S95C had after 12 months. Also, DV really just isn't an issue for these TVs. The QD-OLEDs don't need it. The MLA equipped LG models don't really need it. LG is getting wise to that since some of their LCD models dropped it this year. The main benefit of DV is dynamic HDR metadata. But when you have an OLED display with perfect contrast, black levels, and high peak brightness, well, suddenly there's no need for dynamic HDR metadata. That perk goes out the window

[@masomaf]

Agree mla should have been on c series. Especially because g series in some countries dont come with a stand, without extra ordering these.

[@masomaf]

@@stephenpatterson8056 A citate from rtings: LG WOLED. After two months, the two QD-OLED displays on this test (Samsung S95B OLED and the Sony A95K) are both showing signs of possible permanent image retention (burn-in), but the LG WOLED TVs like the LG C2 OLED and the LG G2 OLED are clean. These results bring up a few interesting questions

[@SterkeYerke5555]

I'm really glad Samsung stepped into the OLED game, but personally, I just don't trust them anymore. Between the support bracket on this S90D being pushed under the motherboard, the S95B's regularly getting shipped with bent panels and our own Q60T breaking just after the warranty expired - which they all do apparently - I think they're just too much of a gamble. Add to that some weird bugs (especially in 50Hz content) and lacklustre customer support, I'm not getting a Samsung again. Tbf, LG's customer support hasn't been much better me up until now. I've been trying to report a few bugs since january, but they're still convinced it must be either a hardware issue on our c3 or something to do with the devices we're connecting to it.

You should note about heat and thermal throttling with extended HDR viewing or mostly white screenn inSDR. Essentially negating the brightness advantage mentioned ofbthe S90D

Great review, however…… I believe it was a real miss not mentioning that QDOLED is not available with the 42-48 & 83” S90D models. These display sizes use WOLED panels.

[@UroboricNate]

These models are my 2 options for 42”, but with the s90d 42” not being qd OLED, and the fact that I will be sitting directly in front of my tv 99.9% of the time, is the Samsung still the clear winner? I also plan on using streaming services fairly often too, and I know the s90d doesn’t support Dolby vision, so I’m curious, would most people still choose the s90d in this scenario?

[@DoctorHades]

Until Samsung improve their quality control and support both Dolby Vision and DTS then I would never consider buying one of their OLED TVs even if they are good in all other respects. I’d feel like I am paying more for less personally. Also, no mention of the magenta tint and elevated black levels on Samsung’s QD-OLED displays when used in a non-dark room?

[@stephenpatterson8056]

There's no visible magenta tint to the QD-OLEDs in person. It's only something that shows when trying to capture them on camera. Similar to how WOLEDs oftentimes have a teal tint when captured on camera. They also do not demonstrate raised blacks in a lit room. You have to really focus a light source on the panel to get it to do that. I have an S90C and viewing it during the day in my bright living room (non direct windows, no blinds) the screen looks black as could be. Dolby Vision will I suppose at this point just never leave certain people's wish list but on these newer OLEDs with their high brightness levels, DV really just isn't necessary anymore. It was great back when OLEDs had extremely low peak brightness and poor tone mapping of HDR10. But those days are well in the rear view. DV simply is not a particularly useful feature anymore. For certain display types, it NEVER was a useful feature

I have the C4 and can't see any green tint from the side. I think your model has a defective panel. Perhaps this should be checked with other devices. This phenomenon was not mentioned or even denied in other tests (e.g. by DigitalTrends). I think this test is not 100% objective. Because in some other tests, the C4 is attested a comparably very good picture quality close to the G4, apart from the brightness. I don't want to question the test results, but some points are overemphasised in comparison to the Samsung model and judged as poor.

[@timothys9288]

What's not being said is that on all REC 709 content (which is virtually 100% of content), both of these TV's have color accuracy so precise that you won't see the difference with the naked eye. Last year's S90C vs C3, I was in RC Willy and they had an identical SDR feed on the C3 and S90C and they looked identical to me in their filmmaker modes. There simply wasn't any appreciable difference between them, so I picked the C3 because it has more robust burn-in protection features. Also, this video's HDR comparison they failed to tell you that Samsung doesn't have Dolby Vision and LG does and Dolby Vision is fantastic because LG is the only manufacturer who does Dolby Vision correctly and this year's model I believe let's you have fully accurate Filmmaker mode with Dolby Vision by default. IMO, the C4 is the winner due to the Dolby Vision and better picture processing that LG has had the past few years that is neck and neck with Sony's XR Clear processing. Samsung is still a fine OLED and frankly either one you buy will give you a high-end picture. Any differences in the picture with Filmmaker modes on is pretty much not something you'll notice or worry about once you are watching the set at home with a good content source.

[@johnb4905]

The kicker is within the rec 709 space it’s the C4 that has better color saturation. So frustrating that rtings based the comparison upon measurements and not how the panels are optimized with content.

The Samsung I bet is fantastic with high quality bitrates from streams too.

Classy tech did a comparison between the S90D and C4 and with content it’s the C4 that has better color saturation. Rtings is just going off the measurements so don’t get down by comparison.

[@BeatelementhePiH]

C4 vs S90D I'm giving it to Samsung G4 vs S95D I'm giving it to LG Never say that any brand is better than the other...

[@Astro-ct5qn]

Hmmm funny cause I had the s90d picture quality sucked when watching regular TV aka sd content lots of noise and pixelation even with noise and meg peg turned on to try and counter it. Plus it also had an issue with turning off randomly sometimes. I now have a C4 and tbh IMO it's great color is good picture looks great regular TV is more clear and less pixelated. The build quality is way better also. Oh and not sure why people saying there is green tint unless it's a panel lottery thing but I have non I did white screen test on KZbin pure white.

I live in Brazil and I just bought the new Samsung S90D, can someone tell me if the panels are WOLED or QD-OLED here in Brazil?

[@jollama]

Can’t do your own research huh?

[@michaelvantonder]

55 and 65 will be QD. Rest WOLED

[@gustavo789ful]

@@jollama I did it, but I didn't found any valid information at all.

[@gustavo789ful]

@@michaelvantonder Thanks, bro. Are u really sure?

[@erfa10]

So Samsung's been refusing to disclose whether their budget and midrange OLEDs use WOLED or QD-OLED, your reviews pretty much conclude that the S90D is QD (or at least these batches are), but could you take a look at the S85D to confirm its panel tech?

[@stephenpatterson8056]

S85D will almost certainly be all WOLED; S90D in 55, 65, 77 will be 2nd gen QD-OLED; S95D will be 3rd gen QD-OLED. Only real annoyance is with the S90 series offering various sizes in WOLED as well. It would be a more concise lineup to just have the full S85 line be WOLED, S90 just have the 3 2nd gen sizes and S95 have the 3 3rd gen sizes

[@boltongame5054]

So you know in Canada if the 65 model s90c is a qd Oled panel ?

[@stephenpatterson8056]

@@boltongame5054 55 and 65 S90Cs are all QD-OLED. But they may either be a 1st gen or 2nd gen panel. The 2nd gen panels perform a bit better. All 77 models are 2nd gen QD-OLED because there were never 1st gen panels in that size.

[@AnimalnatureYT]

Should I still get the S90D as it is a WOLED in my region not QD OLED

[@ridvan190333]

You need to compare S90D with G4 this year. Since the S95D is a matte panel, I think it should not be compared with the G4.

[@RTINGSdotcom]

[@budthecyborg4575]

I love LG firmware and I want the G4, but when the S90D is cheaper LG is asking way too much ($1600 Samsung vs. $2300 LG).

[@osirisestela3414]

Thanks!

[@trippplefive]

"I couldn't find an SDR comparison between the two. Did I miss it?

[@RealLifeTech187]

Great comparison (unless you ask the C4 😂😂) Can the S90D beat the G4? Could you make a video for that?

[@RTINGSdotcom]

👀👀

[@christianhoos3116]

I don’t trust Samsung as I noticed working at Best Buy that both the s90 and s95 suffered burn in after less than a year. Also showed panel bruising on multiple of their led tvs.

[@wisdomb4086]

What is panel bruising

[@GhanashyamSateesh]

The review did not mention that the C4 has better blacks in a well lit environment and the slight red tint of the S90D off-axis. Hence the dislike 👎

[@johnb4905]

Oh it’s a lot worse than that. With content it’s the C4 that actually has better color saturation. Rtings went off the measurements and didn’t bother to check how poorly Samsung is optimizing their QD OLED panel.

[@HTSBarren]

Do they do 1440p 144hz as well ? If you set 1440p inside the settings on a PC game

[@stephenpatterson8056]

That SHOULD work. Don't see why it wouldn't. I have an S90C and 4K 144hz worked flawlessly when my PC was direct connected. Now I'm running it through an AVR so had to back it down to 120hz

[@kwalex6882]

I guess it’s very market dependent but the g4 is the same price as the s90d where I’m at.

[@mehedi4857]

What about the Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV, which competes against these 2?

[@kclaytree2734]

Bravia 8 will be the more accurate among the C4 and S90D due tomSony's typically good if not great image processing, è 22nd 99 I 9-0-1Cbut will not match Samsung's color brightness because the S90D has a quantum dot layer.

[@ericadams7834]

Wish Samsung had better price cutting on their models.

[@adrielp.s.2996]

I'm amazed how you completely underestimate Samsung's HDR10, and keep bringing up the subject of Dolby Vision as if Samsung didn't have similar technology. Currently HDR10 and Dolby Vision are on the same level, get that in mind.

[@yaroslavchernyshov3725]

low quality content smoothing is worthless when Lg C4 has awful color banding.

[@Aria23482]

Are you going to review the samsung qn90d?

Yep! We started testing the unit we purchased yesterday. You can follow along here: www.rtings.com/discussions/tLV8iwCj1iGTxH7Z/review-updates-samsung-qn90d if you’d like!

support bracket for hdmi cover for samsung s90d you guys are mentioning in all your review videos I think you guys are purposely showing off your review videos, I think you guys have to stop that.
