When running youtube HDR content, my G4 looks awesome. I know it depends on what settings are preferred per each picture mode using advanced settings personally, but the shadow details do appear to be better. Especially with nature scenes. I haven't tried throwing a disc into my UB820 just yet, im still rearranging my surround speakers, but I plan on it soon.

Would you do an other Bravia 9 vs. G4 comparison? I think it would be good to have more than the first video to build a opinion and it would interest a lot of people right now. Btw. I really appreciate the wave diagram at the bottom. In generell the quality of the comparisons got better, keep it up!

[@Ars50589]

S95d visibly distorts white into rose/red/orange/pink. Whereas g4 seems to narrow the color range where there is predominant color in a frame. Eg where a green forest was shown details of other colors turned much greener than on s95d. I would prefer g4, but both models seem to be very potent and I guess there is a market for each model.

Great review, I brought the LG G4 after much deliberation betwen the S95D and the LG G4, After seeing both S95C and S95D side by side at my local store i found the S95D matt panel was a deal breaker for me, compairing the two side by side the S95D matt panel looks grey compaired to the S95C glossy panel, i thought the blacks were much deeper on the S95C, I found the LG G4 to have a much cleaner and sharper image quality, better sound outputs, easy user interferance, more usb ports and bigger remote, and the best thing of all it comes with a wall mount in gthe box, the thing i did like about the S95D was the one connect and the bigger screen hieght but the matt screen was a deal breaker for me, Im very happy with the LG G4

The wall on the loft floor where the 2nd TV is going to be placed has a smaller wall surface area so I'm thinking I can go with a 65 in for the living room and a 55 in for the office. And that 65 in + 55 in samsung is going to cost almost the same as only one 65 in LG G4. Money is not an issue but just thinking of the costs logically, plus I don't actively watch TV at all atm so these TVs are mostly for guests and casual use on my end, mostly on my PC gaming and trading.

@@TechWithKG One more question. This being one of the only hdr comparisons of these 2 tvs on youtube, I also watched this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYrVhZdnh75gjbssi=L4ycUuKOOa4DtdvL&t=345 . I ended your video with the conclusion that the g4 was brighter and better tone mapped (which is likely true). However, the other hdr comparison displayed the opposite. Could this just be differences in settings used to test the tv? And if so, do you know of modes on the 95d to make the highlights look like that without making the image too distorted? Im thinking of getting a s95d soon because i like the coating but your video makes the g4s highlights look so much better.

[@ipodguy123g]

after further consideration, i've come to the conclusion that the s95d often looks more natural and the post ai processing that the g4 has is very hit or miss and sometimes overexposes highlights and scenes. Though often the processing can make the g4 look punchy-er, the effect is inconsistent and can make some scenes look worse even introducing banding at times. This plus my favor for the samsungs matte screen, which i think influences a sense of physicality in the image in person, made me end up purchasing the s95d over the g4. Maybe if they get the whole ai post processing fleshed out, samsung should add it to the s95e but as of now I dont see it as of much of a drawback.

Ooof, really hate to say... gotta say I prefer the G4 in almost all of these shots. The pink tint (not sure if that's default or not) isn't great. But beyond that I kind of like the way they handle brightness there more. I've been watching this video on both an OLED panel and my Bravia 9. The G4 just looks a tiny bit sharper and definitely feels like it has some more depth, imo. As for motion, I'm not really worried about that on any OLED. The panel technology does most of the work it seems usually. On miniLEDs you tend to have to worry a whole lot more, because it takes some advanced processing not to look like ghosted, blurry poop. And even the Bravia 9, as good as it is, fails to come close to one of the top OLEDs in terms of motion clarity. Particularly in game mode, It's BFI implementation (whether due to VA panel flaws or just lack of processing power able to be given to it in this particular chip iteration) just doesn't come close to anything the OLEDs achieve with motion clarity. I've seen like the G1, for example feel almost as good as a high-end CRT in it's 120hz BFI mode (I've heard the CX is even better, but never got a chance to get that panel). I do hope someone brings back 120hz BFI on an OLED panel at some point in game mode. Especially with how much brighter they can get these days.

[@JBlakeS23]

I understand the g4 looks better on whatever camera is being used here but guaranteed 100% QDOLED is the better experience. You can brighten the whites up and everything else and these foolish bandwagon fans know no difference. The color dullness is what makes the WOLED inferior. QDOLED is the more entertaining experience and able to accurately hit more colors bc it can.

[@TechWithKG]

Camera being used is a Black Magic Cinema Camera 6K producing a 12 bit raw HDR video file. The experience is mostly subjective based on what people prefer if you want more image fidelity then you go G4 if you value color brightness then you go S95D. Really tons of ways to approach it.

[@douglasgoncalves9426]

G4 a melhor tv

[@SP95]

I don't think the lack of colored brightness is due to tone mapping but to how W-OLED works as this kind of panel has a white sub pixel that has to blend with the other weakened sub pixels whereas a QD-OLED does not rely on a white sub pixel to have enough brightness as all three sub pixels are already bright enough on their own.

[@TechWithKG]

Well when I use professional mode toggle vs just having it set to default I get a ton of color back so it’s not as simple as it being a W-OLED. There’s still cases where it will be the QD OLED difference but yeah LG has very aggressive tone mapping which causes it to lose color even when it’s not the most demanding content.

[@SP95]

Which is why I would say the color difference is mostly due to the content itself rather than tone mapping this time around. You may get some colors back when using an other mode but the brightness might also become darker as well, of course let's remove the raised blacks out of the equation. I am referring to the color volume aspect which measures color accuracy in regard to various levels of luminance/brightness rather than doing it on a single level like we traditionally do. In short, that measures how bright a single color could go. The white sub-pixel has some strengths and weaknesses compared to a classic RGB sub pixels solution like QD-OLED panels, the most obvious one is when the subject on the screen is bright but not very much colored as that white sub pixel doesn't need to blend much with the other ones and could then go full blown, which is why a W-OLED panel could go brighter in those specific subjects like you show here with white clouds, sand or a white rock on a bright sunlight, the sun itself etc... Whereas when you have some bright colored subjects that white sub pixel then has to dim in order to not loose too much accuracy when combined to those other dimmer RGB sub pixels which is why in that specific case a quantum dot doped sub pixel like those on Samsung's displays will then be able to display a brighter colored subject on our screen which is what I could see on your examples thankfully well recorded in HDR. I'm watching your video on an 13" AMOLED (RGB) display that could go up to 500 nits in a 100% window so I can tell when the Samsung has reached its limits like there at 13:26, the LG can't get that yellow tone right since it has to blend the weak red and the weak green sub pixels together but can afford to be much brighter thanks to the addition of the white sub pixel since the sun itself is essentially a giant bright white dot even in this orange scene.

[@TonyDAngelo-ot7ny]

Get the lg calibrated for better accuracy. The one thing is the bezel reflection on the lg. Unreal this got through QC

[@qazzaq2004]

Really great comparison. It looks really close on KZbin, does it look this close in person? What are the exact settings you used, did you just set TVs in filmmaker mode or were there some tweaks to get the best out of them without any major calibration?

[@TechWithKG]

Yup just filmmaker mode out of the box but I used content that will let it show its strengths in those mode, FMM and movie mode get bad reputations but they actually are very capable modes closest thing to reference without getting real calibration done. For those that prefer a cooler more saturated look the standard modes on these TVs are solid for that.

[@Transmissions]

I can’t stand the glossy reflections of the LGs. Started with a C4 and ended up with an S95d. We love it.

[@kelvinlau09]

My Samsung S95C die just 1 week after the 12 mon warranty. If you are planning to buy Samsung, get the extended warranty or stay away. Otherwise LG has a much better quality control and 5 yr panel warranty is the way to go.

[@NexGenTek]

Yup Woled is a no go

[@lewisevander]

To fix this you need to set the tv to warm 50, reduce both the blues and greens to -50 and also set the blue light filter on. The colors will now look warmer and much richer.

[@saeb]

My biggest issue on these comparison videos is that the blue skies and water on the samsungs look a bit purple and not like a sky in real life. Has anyone else noticed the same? Is it a calibration issue on these videos?

@@interistapazzo1.9.0.8qd oled is ridiculously gorgeous. Its not something that can be captured on a camera, but qd-oled has incredibly pure colors which results in an overall more soothing image. My brain prefers the light itself coming from qd-oled. I have both woled and qd-oled. Never have seen an mla woled, but i get the same effect from sdr content where the qd oled and woled are at the same brightness.

[@lewisevander]

Bro the lg can get close to the qd oleds color. The main problem is the color space and the fact that lg oleds run at a very cold temperature. Here is how you fix it. First take your remote and point the cursor to any picture mode setting, now type in the secret code 1113111. Change color space on sdr to bt2020. Make sure you are on native color space. Now also go ahead and enable the reduce blue light filter. You need to be on expert dark space. Turn off peak brightness. Then go in to the white balance, set it to warm 50. Set the color upgrade to high. Also go down to the blue and green and set them to minus 50. Then go to contrast enhancer and set it to high. Turn off auto genre selection if its on. Then finally go to gamma and set it to bt1886 or 2.4. Finally increase the sharpness and turn on ai picture pro. These are the worlds best settings for any lg oled tv. Try it and prepare to be shocked. There will be a huge difference in color, clarity and 3d pop. I tried it on my c1. Please try these settings bro. You will be shocked at how good the color can get. I know it may be oversaturated for you. But it will give you an idea or what the tv is capable of. If you drop the color to around 45. These settings won't be oversaturated though. So try them and let me know.

[@exhibitD79]

Depends on the games you play and your most favourite aspects of picture quality

[@davidoconnell4433]

You left off Dolby vision. You might not think it's that important, but you didn't even mention that Samsung doesn't support it at all. Other reviewers have been impressed with LG's filmmaker version of it. I think you underestimate people who buy either of these sets. While they aren't likely to get them professionally calibrated, they will try different modes to see which they like best. LG even has an option to show you different images, and based on your choices, it will set the tv up to your liking across different content. In gaming mode again, no Dolby Vision option for Samsung might make a difference in some games. You did mention the warranty difference but you didn't mention why that is a big deal. Namely image retention/burn in. Depending on the content you mainly watch, the risk will vary, but regardless, LG is a lot more confident in its panels. That should give anyone considering these two tvs a big reason to choose the LG.

[@TechWithKG]

I think people are aware that Samsung doesn’t have Dolby Vision at this point, it’s really not something I believe people should factor in over other important picture quality aspects or meaningful features because the visual difference and end result in regards to HDR impact is negligible in most content examples. I test it every year. As for DV gaming that’s botched on LG and no games even really have true support for it, dv gaming is definitely not worth talking about.

When there IS a difference, it's the color. QD-OLED is just better

[@ledooni]

Biggest difference is the color-fringing of the triangular subpixel layout on the QD-OLED that you will notice if you sit somewhat close to your TV for gaming. Depends on your personal use case but it‘s an instant dealbreaker for me and I‘m glad that LG finally got the game mode right and added 144 Hz.

[@xforx8672]

​​@@ledooni lol. I sit very close in front of my 77-inch S95D. No problems in this regard. Some people really conjure up problems lol. In such a case, my advice is not to buy any TV at all. Jesus. Third generation QD-OLED and the color fringing has turned out to be an absolute non-issue. QD-OLED's color volume and gamut is superior, those who prefer to get hung up on non-issues and go with the inferior WOLED panel instead - go ahead. I will never understand.
