Why I picked the LG G2 over the C2, Samsung S95B and Sony A95K

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great holiday season!
This is a long video describing my recent TV purchase "journey".
Lots of talk and praise about the S95b and some observations about the A95k. All of these OLED based TV's are amazing, especially in recent years.
Back to regular Samsung content in the next video.
Oh, and sorry about all of the "Ums", especially in the begining. This wasn't my normal video style.
Thanks for watching.

RADER TECH!!! This the single greatest and most honest retrospective on the TV consumer experience I have seen anywhere! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, my friend. I love your honest, respectful,and thoughtful approach! I'd love to try out the G2 next to my S95b at some point. I am pretty sure that 65" display you looked at was set up improperly or possibly one of these bad updates. Then again, who knows. I do love that the LG Oleds have stood the test of time, whereas we have no idea of the lifespan on S95b yet. When I catch myself worrying about potential burn in, etc, I have only to remind myself that I have an airtight 5 year Costco warranty 😄 You make a great case for the G2! You have an excellent, thoughtful way of presentating your thoughts eloquently without any hint of negativity! Much appreciated 🙏

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much for kindness, and for watching this very long video, it's the longest video I've ever posted. I would love to see the G2 and S95b (both setup good) side by side too. I honestly think that the s95b without all of the crazy firmware updates would destroy the G2. That color volume mixed in with the 1,500 nits that it came out with would have been incredible to see. I'm really hoping they knock it off with the updates on the S90C and S95C, but I have my doubts. They just need to leave well enough alone IMHO. These next few years are going to be a big battle for these TV companies.

[@christianmarmol3230]

Trust me I know the struggle and research it took to pick the right tv. I also got the G2 after 3 or 4 months of research. I'm super happy with my G2!

[@RADERTECH]

Hi Christian, thanks for stopping by! Yeah, it was really driving me nuts. I'm glad you're loving your G2 as well, it really is a great all arounder TV.

[@christianmarmol3230]

@@RADERTECH you're welcome dude and ya it drove me nuts too lol. I would actually get a headache sometimes from watching so many videos all day 😅. I'm glad I don't need to do that anymore. I'll have this tv for the next 5 yrs and then upgrade to a qd OLED when that technology is more established and fined toned

[@RADERTECH]

@@christianmarmol3230 Exactly, to all of this! Headaches and frustration galore, but totally worth it in the end. I think in 5 years time, we might get to skip MLA and QD OLED altogether, and go straight to Micro LED. I can't believe Samsung revealed consumer sized micro led's at CES this year, they've made a lot progress fast. Oh my goodness, can you imagine a 4,000 nit screen that looks as good as OLED, with zero risk of burn in? I hope we see it get priced right sooner than later. We'll both deal with that headache when the time comes, lol. Meanwhile, we're sitting in pretty good shape with the G2. I really do love this TV, it's hard to stop watching it at times.

[@ChristianKrogh-Denmark]

Thanks to your in-depth video analysis of these heavy-weight’s of 2022, you might just have sealed a deal for me, hehe.. 98% sure I’m going with the G2 now! Just like you, I’ve been on “the Hunt” for quite some time now. Reading/seeing reviews all over have given me headache’s, cause sooo much contradicts certain things, depending on which critic reviews you’re reading up on, or watching video’s about! Yours here just spoke to me in a way, that felt much more overall sensible at the end of the day. You represent most of us! ;-) So THANKS for all the struggles you went through, to bring us your perspective, cause it’s a huge help! :-) I wanted to ask: When you talk about going to the store and you saw the SONY-A95K for the first time, and that it did nothing for you, saying the brightness wasn’t impressive either.. Did you actually ask the people, at the store, if they had made sure to turn OFF stuff like “energy-saving/Eco-mode”, and all of that other irritating stuff? :-) Cause that would’ve obviously made a huge impact on the image-brightness, if it was turned ON, right? Ps. Clarity and SHARPNESS? Some say the SONY is much ahead there? What’s your opinion? :-) Thanks again! Your video here was great!!! :-)

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching and for your kind words, very much appreciated! I did talk to them about what they did to set them up, and it appears all they do is put them in store/retail mode and put them on display. I'm not sure if the store mode has the power eco settings on or off. You would think they would be setup to be as bright and impactful as possible, but what I saw in the A95K was disappointing. It's hard to say what it would look like when you got it home and setup properly. Considering it won TV of the year, I'm sure the A95K is a great all around experience. If you're thinking of buying soon, I would probably wait a bit longer to see how the A95L, G3, S90C and S95C shape up. We'll be seeing them hit the market very soon. I saw a couple video from Stop the FOMO showing the Samsung panels might be out in February, and LG's G3 should be out in April. Lots of excellent options to choose from these days.

A straight forward and honest review without the salesmanship. A rare find these days on KZbin. I feel the same about my C1 as you do about your G2. When I bought my C1 last March that was the end of the line for me when it came to upgrading tv's. It checks ALL the boxes for me when it comes to what I was looking for in a tv. I will never go back to LED, ever. But you made the right choice because the G2 is an awesome tv.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi Steve, thank you so much for your kindness and for watching! You nailed it - if checks all of the checkboxes you're looking for, then you're all set and shouldn't even bother to look further.

This damn OLED TV makes me notice blooming on other TV's now lol. I wish I had the funds for the G2 at the time but it was over $2500+ and I needed a new TV badly. I didn't have one for months. 65" version as I sit far away. The C2 was $1700 on sale at the time. OLED is INCREDIBLE. Still very happy with my TV months and months later.

@@RADERTECH understatement. So much unnecessary hoopla over QDOLED, the G2 flew under the radar. If the price continues to drop I think the G2 will be the Best Buy of 2023 until it’s discontinued.

First, I had no idea Dolby Vision made that much of a difference. Second, I had no idea AMOLED TVs are that close to being released. Great video as always.

[@RADERTECH]

Howdy Chad, thanks for stopping by again! DV is all dependant on how well they master it seems. Some stuff looks a little better when it's enabled, some looks better just using regular HDR. It's nice to have the option, for sure. I'm not so sure about AMOLED panels really make a strong showing. A lot of the media and reports I see often confuse OLED, WOLED and and QD OLED with the active matrix AMOLED panels. I've heard they exist, but have it to actually see anything with a large AMOLED panel. I'm not sure if AMOLED would up well against MLA OLED and QD OLED. Those technologies are surpassing what regular AMOLED can deliver. Micro LED will be the real future for all of us, someday. Oh man, Micro LED is simply amazing, I can't wait!

[@absolutium]

DV looks better when the panels are below reference.. ..having full DCI P3 coverage and 1000nits sustained at 10% makes DV useless with current transports.

[@TXMagiDude]

You are right that running the TV at max brightness in perpetuity is likely a recipe for trouble down the road. At CES 2023 Samsung revealed the new model can hit over 2000 nits, as you know. However those levels will undoubtedly be nerfed in the same way the S95b's were. It's just smart business when your company has to honor long term warranties. So, all these factors have been weighed and balanced, and I feel pretty safe running mine at peak brightness when I feel like it, seeing it showed capacity of 1500 nits and now scaled down to 1100 or so. However, it still can feel too bright in low light and I have to scale it back. What's so cool to me is the glory of the specular highlights and the laser like colors! I did at least 20 vids side by side C2 vs S95b, and in the end my C2 got the axe. But after your vid, I'm feeling I need to give the G2 a fair trial next. I'm afraid the 2023 tech is gonna be too pricey for me this year, but hoping it will bring down the price of that 77" G2 I'm hankering to try :)

[@RADERTECH]

Yep, they're throwing a lot of high nit numbers at us from CES, but I'm a little sceptical of what the real numbers will be in say FilmMaker mode and not vivid. They keep saying the G3 is 70% brighter too, but that's just compared to the B2, of which it should be a lot brighter anyways. I just checked out your channel and sub'd, you have some awesome videos posted! Costco Steaks, Coffee and S95b's - sounds good to me! I'd personally wait until the G3 comes down in price, or even better, just enjoy that s95b for at least a couple more years while things work themselves out. Who knows, Micro LED might go mainstream sooner than we think, and that's where the future's really at. I think LG and Samsung are going to go toe to toe for the next 2 to 3 years, and either MLA or QD OLED will pull ahead. Maybe they'll both succeed in harmony, and maybe Sony will end up putting out both types of panels at some point. The TV landscape is going through a major shape-shift right now, so I'm not feeling confident in investiing in 2023 or even 2024 models. Who knows though, maybe one of these panels will come that will be the difacto panel to get, then I'm sure we'll both be upgrading when that happens, lol.

[@NeoPlexCZ]

Hi Rader Tech, you don't even know how much I like this video :) I have feeling that you filmed my story :) 99,9% exactly same story. Originally it was C2 vs S95b in my case. I spent a ton of time with watching videos and reading comments, topics etc etc... for two months... My girlfriend almost started to hate me, because my brain was stuck and I wasn't able to focus on other things :D So I bought C2.... But during this S95B was still in my brain. But then I got a superb deal for G2, I packed C2.... and went for G2. I fully agree with everything that was told in the video. S95b is amazing amazing tv but for me: - as was mentioned DV is not only about brightness. I checked a lot of videos comparing LG DV vs S95b HDR10 and during the closer investigation, I saw that in dark scenes there were so much more details on LG thanks to DV. etc etc.. So you can live without DV definitely, but with DV life is sweeter :) - build quality oh oh... bending problems, dead panels (red, green, blue strip on panel), remote controls problems etc. I just don't wanted to play this lottery before Christmas time. - downgrading tv with every single firmware update. Everyone knows what's happened with brightness. And What I saw last FW (two weeks ago?) broke motion handling even more than it was broken before. There are a ton of problems. But it is not a surprise, it is the first gen QD OLED. So it is not hate it's just a fact. Like a secondary tv? I would like to try it because I like new tech, but not like something that I want/need to use every day. And I have to mention that I have a soundbar Samsung HW-Q930b so with S95b I would be able to use q-symphony but even this benefit does not convinced me to choose this particular model. So I feel with your family, for what they had to go through with you :) I hope that your G2 will serve you as much as possible and enjoy new gaming experience :)

[@RADERTECH]

Howdy David, thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience! It sounds like we went through all of the same motions, to a tee. My brain hasn't been this stressed out in I don't know how long, but the end result was totally worth it! I swear, the more I watch the G2 and the more that I game on it, the more I'm just loving this TV. I feel like the hard work we put in to get a great all around TV experience has really paid off. I'm kind of dreading doing this all over again in a few years, but I'm kind of really looking forward to it as well. We basically have the King of WOLED's right now, and when it's time for us to upgrade, we'll be looking at MLA and QD OLED, so it'll be a nice upgrade when the time comes. In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying your G2 as much as I am! It's just a fantastic all arounder, very happy with it. Happy New Year!

[@NeoPlexCZ]

@@RADERTECH yeah, I have the same worry, that I will start looking for new tv in the next 2-3 years. :) you know my previous tv was bought 5 years ago like "ok it is Sony, for quite a good price... what else I should know? nothing..." But now because of this story, I'm more interested in new TV tech, I'm more educated in TV tech so I bet my shoes that in quite a short period of time, I will start thinking about new tv. :D

Did the same and went for s95b as dv and hdr10+ are similar. And different content are available in each format. Anyway netflix dv content when s95b displays with its superior color gamut it not much of a difference comparing to a g2. Although the picture tone is purely personal choice. One cant go wrong with either.

I haven't messed with any of the AI Picture settings, including AI Picture Pro.

[@Antisocial1987]

Sorry for the long post. Wow, can't believe I spent an hour watching a TV review, with that being said, this purchase represents a significant financial step for me as well, so I've been struggling to accrue as much information as possible in order to make an educated guess and not look back and regret the purchase because of being negligent about some important detail. I was feeling ready to pull the trigger with the C2 prior to seeing your video. It felt like the right choice, even though the sales rep earlier tried his best to persuade me to opt for the s95b which was right next to a C2 at the store but I genuinely couldn't see enough of a disparity between them to justify the risk involved. I feel justified after hearing about your experience and thought process. The problem for me now is you've made me seriously consider the G2 (which I had previously felt unnecessary). The choices I have are the following: C2 55' for €1180 and no extended warranty. C2 55' for €1300 and 5 yr store warranty. G2 55' for €1500 + €100 for mount My local store also has a G1 65' available for €1500 but it's a demo unit so I don't feel comfortable with it, on the other hand, it will have a 5 yr panel warranty in case something goes wrong. I'm leaning towards either risking it with the C2 with no extended warranty for the better value proposition or playing it safe and paying up for the G2. Can't believe how stressful this has been xD Anyways, thanks for the honest review- it was very helpful.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching, I appreciate you. It's a tough decision, I know how you feel. I seriously lost sleep over the decision, it was driving me nuts. Having had both TV's in hand, and considering you're looking to not upgrade often and go with something for the long term, I would lean more on the G2 honestly. There's some scenes where the brightness difference is very obvious, and the highlights just hit you harder. The motion is smoother too. The new main reason not discussed in this video though is that the G2 was the only flagship panel from 2022 to not show any signs of burn-in after 1 yrear of continuous use at RTings. com, DigitalDigest did a video on it a couple weeks back. The A95K and S95B both showed signs of early burn in, while the G2 didn't. I don't recall if they tested the C2, but I would assume it wouldn't do as well since it lacks a heatsink. It seems like that heatsink really does make a difference. I think you'd be happy with the C2, for sure. But if you can spring for it, I'd go with the G2. You can also find VESA mount desk stands that are good for lot less than that too.

I am actually returning my S 95B and not for the reasons that others are worried about. I am returning the Samsung for the LG simply because I want to make sure that the product I have in three years is the same product I have today without any altering of the software. Once Samsung altered the software in such a way that the TV does not look the same. I got a really bad taste in my mouth. So to each their own.

Hi, thank you so much for watching! I totally understand where you're coming from, that was a major concern of mine as well. You know it's an issue when you can find countless firmware related videos for the s95b here on youtube, that's not a good look for Samsung. I think I would feel just like you if I experienced that, It would drive me nuts. This is my first LG TV so I can't comment on how they do long term, but so far it's had 3 updates that I can think of, and they haven't messed up the picture at all. Hopefully that trend continues.

I’m currently shopping between the C2 and G2. My wife and I live in an apartment because we havent found a place to settle in yet so I’m kinda hesitant on committing to the wall mount (I will not put the g2 on a stand). I’m good at fixing up an apartment when it’s time to get my deposit back but it is an extra hassle when we might be moving in 6-8 months. My current plan is to try to get free same day delivery and installation. If I can get those things (we live on the top floor) I will go with the G2. If not then the C2. I thought about the A95K but with a sound bar, series X and ps5 2 2.1 hdmi ports doesn’t cut it. Especially when it’s such a step up in price.

[@RADERTECH]

It can frustrating to decide, especially when have living cirsumstances to contend with. I think you'll be perfectly happy with either, so don't worry if you can't end up pulling the G2 off. The C2 might really be the better option for your use case anyways, and then maybe think about a G4 or G5 someday when you get settle in somewhere for sure. Both great TV's.

You'll have quite a few more options if you can wait, and they'll both be a considerable upgrade over the C9 for you. But I know waiting can be hard, believe me, I know! Sony is releasing the A95L too, so lot's of new options are coming out. I would have probably waited myself if I already owned an OLED panel. But honestly, I think the G2 will serve me very well while I wait out the MLA vs QD OLED showdown that's going on right now.

You could have just got the G3 bro!!! It's brighter and has MLA technology. Lol more money of course tho. I got the C2, I want the G3 but I feel that it would be a waste to spend my money like that. Sucks because technology advances so quickly and you want the next best thing. I might buy the G4 when that comes out though.

Just about to order my first OLED, been waiting a long time, but I now feel its a fully mature technology. I have had a Panasonic Plasma for over 14years, only 720p, but the picture quality and colours are just so good, never had any burn in issues, the darn thing is so reliable, it just refuses to die, its served me well, time to upgrade. I now have a good collection of 4K blu-Rays, so i would really like to see them in all their glory, I have finally made up my mind to go for the 55" G2 (her indoors won't let me have the 65") after lots of research, so will be place the order within the next two weeks, super excited.

[@RADERTECH]

Howdy Keith, thanks for watching! Oh wow, that's so aweome, you're in for one heck of an upgrade. Plasma's were awesome, but 4K compared to 720p is going to knock your socks off. The G2 is fantastic. RTings just wrapped up burn in tests for year 1 of last year's panels, and the G2 was the only panel to show zero signs of burn in, not one bit. The A95K and S95B are already showing signs of early burn-in, so I feel like we dodged a bullet. Congrats on your new TV, you will certainly love it!

Great review. Which TV is the best for just watching standard blu ray? Not sure if you've done an SDR upscaling comparison? Thank you

Thanks for stopping by. I honestly don't know, I haven't had much exposure to the other OLED offerings, other than watching way too many youtube videos. I think at this point, they all do a pretty good job of upscaling.

I remember the 1st time i saw the opening of Dr Strange into the multiverse where they're running down the columns with that monster chasing them, saw it on the original S95B fw 12 whatever it was...It was an OMFG LOOOOK AT THAAAAT!!!! Moment, proper eye popping visuals. Then they started with the updates and murdered a beautiful TV. I'll watch how they treat the 2023 model but I reckon they'll do the same, no faith at all in them. I have a 77 c2 now and love it. Enjoyed your take on the mental breakdowns involved in buying a new tv hehe, Ty

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I can only imagine what Dr. Strange would look like on a day 1 S95B, I'm sure that was mind blowing! That one scene I talked about in this video had me questioning everything, I was like "wow!". I sure hope they don't nurf the crap out the s90c and s95c, but history tends to repeat itself, lol. I can only imagine what looking at a 77" OLED is like on a daily basis, heck yeah, congrats. Once my super hyper kids get a little older I'm hoping to do the same. They'll destroy it right now, and I'll end up crying like a baby.

I'll be honest once they broke the s95 I service menud it and broke it more, gave the TV more than they took away and ended up with burn in but boy the enjoyment I had til that point was worth it lol, kind of a going down in flames fk u samsung 🤣 I'm sure when the time comes and you can get a 77... Or bigger, tech will have improved again and prices might have come down some. Anyhoo enjoy the g2 😃👍

[@craigst6755]

Thanks for the video. I wish I'd gone for the g2 but it didn't have a stand and I didn't know if a 48 inch would fit the room. It does and possibly a 55 inch would maybe fit and what I would probably buy next as I didn't realise only the 55 inch and up C2 only benefitted more from increases brightness. I'm glad you are happy with the g2 and possibly I would consider getting it but the stand isn't mean to be good and I can't wall mount. I do value the heat sink and would feel more confident running higher brightness longer with that. Either that or the G3 but even that I would hesitate due to the unknown of the MLA. I haven't seen many allude to the fact mla is in its infancy and is more to go wrong potentially. 5000 lens per pixel so may be other unknowns too, but hopefully less burn in risk as the panel may benefit from either the same amount of current as the G2 and higher peak brightness, or less current depending how LG set it up with more light being redirected to the viewer. I hear better colour and viewing angles for the g3 too, but I feel MLA is only a sticking plaster and quantum dots the way to go in future, as well as blue phosperscent material in the midterm, and eventually microled. Microled may be the holy grail apart from QDEL and proper QNED (not lgs current fake qned). I bet mla plus qd oled would be interesting if mla has a similar benefit to that technology. Anyway thanks for the video.

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much for watching! Your comment is excellent, you bring up many valid points, and my thought process is that same as yours. I'm sure MLA will be great, and QD OLED will continue to improve, but they're so new that I'm sure drastic improvements will be seen to those 2 tech's in the next few years. The whole stand situation with the G series sure does suck. They should just throw one in the box at this price point, especially if they're going to attract more G series buyers by only putting MLA on those, and not the C series. I guess the only real option would be to find a vesa desk stand on Amazon. I saw quite a few that were reasonable priced (around $40) that seem a lot better than the one LG makes for it. That stand is so bad, I wouldn't consider it.

[@craigst6755]

Thank you. I wasn't very well up on TV technology before my purchase of the C2, but have found myself researching various technologies. I'm not an expert by any means obviously, but was astonished what paying a little extra for a none budget TV could look like. The comment about the G2 and having a stand I have tried to think about from LG's perspective, and wonder if more people wall mount than use stands now? In my limited experience most TV's have been on a stand but including both a stand and wall mount may be economically unviable for LG. The G2 is marketed only as it stands for gallery as you probably know already, but it is a shame their 4k flagship is only wall mount. Possibly if they included a stand do you think people would pay the extra £/$100? It would be nice to have a choice. Thanks for the suggestion of the vesa stand on amazon. I think I have seen some and hopefully they don't wobble and incline 5°. Is the vesa a standard attachment? I hope the MLA technology works, and possibly LG need it to do so to compete with Samsung at least until the blue phosphorescent material is released. I'm glad you are happy with the G2 for now but do want to ask if you noticed any ASBL (Auto static brightness limiter) kick in or ABL? I had to turn TPC (temporal peak luminance control) and GSR (Global Sticky Reduction) off, as long dark scenes with subtitles were dimming already dark scenes to near indistinguishable luminance levels. I have wrote this as well in case someone stumbles upon it. WARNING May void warranty if you enter the service menu via service remote or other methods. I am excited for microled too, but not completely sold it will be burn in free, as led still degrades over time. Likely more resistant but I'll believe it when I see it, as it is still self emissive. Are you planning to keep the G2 for a while or take the plunge in to qd oled? It still amazes me we are dealing with technology on such a small scale (the quantum world) right now. Thanks.

I owned the s95b for over a year and although I can say it's a phenomenal tv and has definitely been polished up after all the updates, the s95b was a pain to use on a daily basis before now. It would go from wowing me, to giving me a headache lol. You definitely made the right choice in choosing the LG, it lags in a few picture quality stats, but it makes up for it in pure consistency and usability. I've personally just ordered a g3 to replace my s95b, and despite all my research leading me to lg the last time, the deals for the samsung were just to good to pass up, but now I know what I'm trading. I want consistency over anything and samsung does not give that, I even tried a Sony and didn't experience that either, so I hope I get that with the G3.

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for sharing your inputs, and congrats on getting the G3! I think you'll be happy with it, and like you mentioned, LG does provide a consistent experience. There's been quite a few updates, but they haven't altered the picture quality in any way. I'm sorry your experience with the S95b was similar to a lot of other folks, seems like all of those updates brought about a lot of picture quality changes... and brightness, lol.

5 year warranty, excellent gaming mode and accurate cinema home settings. LG is an excellent option, QD-Oled from Samsung is great, just needs refinement , Sony picture hdr is most accurate but expensive

[@RADERTECH]

All spot on points! Thanks for stopping by and watching!

[@peopleperson7263]

I’m only part way through your video - but you really made a great one. Very down to earth and I like your positivity! I’m in the same shape , choosing between c2 , g2 , and possibly Sony a80k (much dimmer but I like Sony haha). One thing that’s interesting - right now the 55 inch c2 is 1300 and with a bb 5 year warranty - it’s 1600. The exact same price as the 1600 dollar g2! Which comes with a free 5 year Lg warranty . So for me it’s actually about the warranty haha. If they are close . I’m getting g2. Lastly , regarding the g3 coming soon / I have a feeling it won’t be in the same relative price range as g1 and g2 of past years - meaning , with such new tech as mla - there must be some extra cost beyond it just being year “3” model. What do you think about warranty ? Thanks again for a great video !

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. You make a very good point about the G3 likely being more costly, and it's hard to say if there will be any long term issues with all of those tiny MLA lenses. I think there's roughly 5,000 of them per pixel, that's nuts. I think it will mostly depend on how well the Samsung QD OLED's do, and what they get priced at. For the G2 vs C2 part, I really do like the G2 quite a bit better. I did so much back and forth testing, and I just ended favoring the G2 by a nudge in all areas. It's the little things like the motion being a little smoother, the overall image looks a tad sharper, highlights stand out more. All being tested with the same settings on both. I'm sure the BB warranty is much more inclusive than LG's, so that's something to keep in mind. If you plan on wall mounting, I would probably lean on the G2, and just utilize it's 5 year warranty if anything happens down the road. The only concern is some people report pink tinting on 65" model, but if you're looking at the 55", you shouldn't have to worry about that at all. But, if you don't test the C2 and G2 side by side, you'd probably wouldn't even notice a difference between them. They do perform very closely, so don't feel like your settling if you go with the C2, it's a great panel.

[@markorkarenhanes1354]

I have the 65" C2. It was in my upper range for my budget at the time. I really do wish I got the G2 but it being pricier and having to pay extra for a stand (I don't like wall mounting), it was slightly out of my range. I definitely am happy with the C2 and am not disappointed. I actually usually use on Cinema or Filmaker mode as I think it's bright enough and don't ever use max brightness unless it's a specific movie. You can't go wrong with either one honestly. I do wish I could have gotten the G2. Still happy though lol

Hi, thank you so much for watching! You're good with your C2, it's a great TV. The difference between the 2 negligable, and most wouldn't even notice any difference if not side by side.

Anybody who has a G2 never wishes they kept or rather have the C2. You’ll always think about the G2. My 77in G2 gets so many compliments, it’s a beautiful panel sitting flush to the wall. The C2 just looks like a regular tv. Plus it sits in front of 6 windows and I needed as much brightness as I could get with OLED. I also game a lot, call of duty, and it’s the cream of the crop as far as input lag and it’s so much fun. I’m in love every time I walk into the living room. It’s really worth the cost.

@@JBlakeS23 They are almost the same cost now as it always happens so if I waited, then yeah I would have bought the G2 instead but I needed a TV badly. Previous one finally died. See, even with my blinds open I can still easily see my TV so I don't understand what others mean by it's not bright enough. I have more of an issue with the damn glare so 95% of the time my shades are closed. Obviously it's better in a dark room but if anything for me personally, it's just the glare if anything I hate. There is essentially no input lag on the C2 either, that's all OLED because of the type of panel and lighting mechanics of how they work. These are just a bit quicker than a lot of others.

[@RADERTECH]

From what I can tell by looking at the store model of the S95b, it has quite a bit more "pop" than the C2, depending on the scene you're looking at. Black frame insertion only works on 60hz now on the latest OLED panels, so it kind of sucks now for those of us that want it for 120hz gaming. The LG C1 had it, but the C2 doesn't. I think that will improve as the panels get brighter, as they'll likely bring it back. I think that's why they stopped including it, because it lowers the screen brightness by a lot.

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes indeed, agree 100%. That's why we have a QLED out in our bright living room, and I keep the G2 OLED in my office, where I have control of the lighting. Truth be told though, I usually keep my lights on while watching the G2, I'm very impressed on how well it cuts through the lighting I have. These 2,300 lumens lights I'm using are no joke. They weigh as much as a brick almost, I'm surprised my light fixture can even hold them. We're going to keep seeing major improvements with brightness over the next few years, they'll just keep getting better and better. I can't even imagine what the s95G and LG G6 will be like, they'll probably be completely different TV's by then. That's when I'll likely upgrade again, can't see any reason to in the meantime, I'm very happy with this TV. Not just because it's pretty bright for an OLED, but the experience as a whole. It just works, time and time again. Hopefully nothing changes with it as the years go by, I want it to stay exactly like it is now.

If money's not a real issue, and especially if you already plan on wall mounting, get the G2. Especially in the 55", as it doesn't suffer from pink tint issues like many of the 65" G2's have. No coil noise issues for me, not at all. I've heard of that happening, but I think those are pretty isolated incidents. First TV in 15 years means this is your first OLED. You're about to take things up to whole different level! Seeing them in stores is one thing, but watching content on your own in your home is just incredible. Congrats, and yes, get the G2. It's at a great price right now, I'd still take it over the G3 considering the price difference. You'll be happy with it.

Forgive the newbie question. Does upscaling occur automatically or do I need to set it up? I’ve looked at the settings and couldn’t find it anywhere. Also if I get a 4k player, does the upscaling occur in the player or the TV?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! The upscaling happens behind the scenes, it's not something you change, the TV automatically adjust content. With a 4K blu ray player, it will typically do any upscaling first before sending the signal to the TV. But only if the content needs upscaling, such as older 720p or 1080p stuff. Usually you can disable the upscaling on the blue ray player if you end up wanting the TV to do the upscaling for you.

I disagree, I paid 1700 out the door for S95b 65 inch. And there is a night and day difference between G2 and S95b in brightness and color volume, next level. The G2 and C2 are basically the same tv one with heatsink the other without which allows panel to be pushed harder without getting burnin as quick. This is coming from a LG 65 inch C6P OLED owner as well as Pioneer Kuro.

I really want to try QD OLED out. But, I do have to slightly disagree with you on the C2 vs G2. I've had both, as seen in this video, and the G2 actually blows the C2 out of the water, to be quite honest. It's significantly brighter, and the motion handling is much better on the G2 compared to the C2. I noticed it right away. I'm sure the S95b gets plenty brighter, but the G2 sure is a nice all arounder package. I wish I could own them all, lol!

@@RADERTECH Thanks for the reply, actually I don't think we disagree at all about the c2 and g2. You said the g2 is significantly brighter and motion handling was better. I stated that they designed g2 with heatsink and software that allowed the panel to be pushed further. Brightness and overclocking the processor is what I mean by pushed further. The panel is exactly the same, it's the implementation, I believe that is different, which equals better performance on g2 than c2. Either way, it is up near the top with other woled's.

Hi, thanks for watching, and my apologies for the slow reply. Was a crazy busy weekend. I totally get where you're coming from. Sadly, I just had to downgrade my 75" living room TV to my old 65" because a strange line started forming on it. I think one of my kids did it though, seems a little suspicious looking, lol. 65" just isn't big enough, I'm squinting while looking at it. It's nice to have a brighter display like a QLED in bright rooms, it sure does help. I've always liked TCL, I have 2 of them now and they just keep on going and going. I hope you enjoy the XL if you get it, that's a beast of a TV!

I ended up going for the A95k mostly because it's Playstation features, sony processor ( which is currently the best from my understanding, personally I just preferred the way it looked in bestbuy ) and overall had everything I was looking for as a minimum. The only thing I'm worried about is burn in and the only thing I wish it supported was 4k 120 vrr / dolby vision on all the inputs. I don't want to have to switch that setting between my sound bar and pc all the time. I know it's going to be in the next gen version, but I barely was able to afford this one 😂 not worth the upgrade when I would rather upgrade my main monitor to an oled one.

You picked an awesome TV, great choice. I wish the Best Buy near my area had their's setup better, I could tell that they didn't even care.

They are all 200 nits dim full image, except for those hdr gimmic highlights at 1000 nits. A trick to make you think they are bright . I returned 4 oled's from 3 brands because i could not see a thing on them during daytime use except when using some artificial overbright vivid mode that made everything look like Disney channel. They need to work on the full screen picture to make it at least 2 times brighter before i will consider buying one.

@@sogetsu60 You're correct, all roughly around 200 nits full window. G3 with the new Expression Enhancement set to Brightness gets the full window brightness up there, I think I saw 379 nits without that new setting on. With it on, it should hit a bit above 400.

@@pctatc66 Lucky! I bought the C2 awhile back when it was on sale for $1700 (65" version). I REALLY wanted the G2 but it was slightly out of my budget because of the additional stand you have to buy as well. I believe it was over $2500 if not a little more. I'm very happy with my C2 and I really can't complain but man, the G2 is just even better. I needed a TV badly as I had none for months so I was desperate at the time. Honestly you can't go wrong with either one. I sit more than 6 feet away so I needed at least the 65" version. 55" is just too small for the room.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

I was very interested in a C2/G3, but I won't be wall mounting it, and so far their optional stands (that cost $150 - $200) causes the TV to rest at an angle, which I won't be able to tolerate. I'm hoping the optional G3 stand ends up differently, but I doubt it, so I'll probably have to settle on a C3. I've gone from a 55'' B6 to a 65'' C8 and more recently I picked up a used 77'' C9, thinking it might actually be "too big", but after a few weeks of acclimation, I can't go down in size. Just trying to decide which TV to get at the end of this year to replace it. As far as your own concerns about "maxing it out" go, I think you're looking at it wrong. The G series gets just as hot as the panels that do not have heat sinks. The reason the heat sinks exist is so that they can get brighter and remain brighter for longer. If they were only displaying at the same brightness as the other panels that do not have a heat sink, then yes, their longevity would be increased, but that's not what they were designed to do. I very much doubt you'll have a higher lifespan with a TV that has a heat sink vs one that doesn't for HDR content, when the one with the heat sink is brighter and hotter by default. It's basically a wash in that regard. Having said that, you did end up getting the best TV for the cost as far as the "top tier" sets go from the various manufacturers. So there's that. The Sony panels might technically be better when it comes to movies, and motion handling, but they're worse for gaming and there's the "Sony tax" on them too which just make them far less of a value. Besides that, heat isn't the only thing that actually causes "burn-in". It's primarily just uneven wear that is the problem, and while HDR gaming will increase the wear, you can still get it with SDR gaming. Hell, you can even get it with subtitles over time if you watch enough shows with them on. Panel variance is a thing (which includes uniformity. You could have gotten a C2 that had MUCH better uniformity than the one you ended up with, or one that was far worse). Some of them can also be more prone to burn in than others, and while I've only ever had any of my OLEDs for a maximum of three years each so far, I haven't had burn in yet. And I game a lot on them. I just don't really put thousands of hours into the same game. I am kind of wondering though if as the panel ages if it actually becomes more susceptible to it, because the used C9 I got for cheap had 17K hours on it already (!!!) and I've noticed that it has a very bad issue with temporary image retention. If I display any bright icons, or even a seek bar from a streaming app for even a single minute (or at least short enough of a period to prevent the screen saver from activating), once I go back to the content, there will be after images of those icons or that seek bar for up to a minute after that. This never happened with my previous two TVs that had less than half the total use time on them, and they were earlier models too that were supposed to be even worse regarding burn in chances.

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience! There's always a lot to consider with these TV's, especially with all the new panels coming out in 2023. At the end of the day, I'm still extremely happy with this G2, so I'll be sticking with it for a few years. I woulld probably wait for the G3 or s95c, they both look like great options. I'm curious what the A95L will be like too.

In the Clarity Settings, I have the Sharpness set to 10, and all others set to default. For HDR: For HDR content, I'm usually in FilmMaker mode. Oled Pixel Brightness and Contrast is at 100, Black Level at 50, sharpness at 10 and color at usually 65, sometimes only 60. All other setting I leave default. Dolby Vision: Same as above for the most part, I don't notice any real changes between the 2. For Gaming, I usually pick the Sports mode regardless if it's a Dolby Vison, SDR or HDR game. Also, please make sure to turn off the eco saving feature (that will give you a brighter screen) and make sure Logo detection is set to Low. Other settings are to taste really.

Hi, thanks for watching! Great question, and I have a great answer. Back when I bought the G2, nothing clear was known about the G3. We didn't even know if MLA would be coming out, because Vincent at HDTVTest put out a video saying it would be delayed for a year. When it comes to TV's, I always buy around Black Friday time, that let me get this G2 for under $2,000. It was the best time to buy, by a couple hundred dollars. So now a few months later we know a lot more, and times are very exciting. Since this video is getting so many views, I might end up selling the G2 around Black Friday time, and picking up the G3 when it's at it's lowest price. But, I want to wait it out and make sure we don't have many complaints come in with MLA. That's the other main reason I didn't want to wait, not knowing how well MLA would shape up. We still don't know, so I wouldn't even consider the G3 yet anyways. Honestly though, the G2 is already so bright in my room that anything the G3 offers will be over the top for me anyways.

HA HA, Today after 2 weeks i decided on the 55" S95B, i bought all 3 with totaltech and placed them in my den. After a week the C2 went back S95B was just flat out better at the den, the G2 stayed till the very end with my family making the decision 3-1 in favor of the sam. I used my trusty old favourite pioneer monitor plasma going on 20yrs to reference them all. it was used for 6 yrs then laid to rest in my garage. THEN i spent another 2 hrs at BB debating on the G3 as i found that a hair better in all areas. But at double the price i would have to remove my son from daycare in may.

I'm glad you found the TV that works best for you, that's awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@andremarques7019]

I have an samsung qn95b is it a good tv? Or the oled is a thousand times better?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! That's one of the most popular TV's out there, so it much be pretty good. I don't think OLED is a thousand times better, but it does look better. But your QN95B will be brighter and better suited for bright rooms, so that's something to consider. Please try to check them out in person, they might not wow that much, or you may end up feeling the opposite and leave the store with an OLED, lol!

[@ChrisDavis333]

I just bought a G2 for $1000, I’m going to use it for 3 or 4 years and keep my eye on the market and wait for some of the new innovations and let the new technology mature a little bit and then I will buy a new TV. $1000 is not something that locks me in for a decade, if at any time I feel blown away by any new TV technology I can just replace the TV in my living room, and swap some things around. The only TV that offers a marginal improvement over the G2 is the S90C and I just don’t trust that panel yet, I guess you could say the A95L but that has a $4000 price tag. I’m not getting 4X the TV with that A95L, so that tells me I’m good for a few years and my G2 has a 5 year panel warranty.

[@RADERTECH]

That's an amazing price for a G2, congrats! Smart move, that's about how I'm playing it as well. The next big thing will be PH-OLED, and that's still a good couple years out, and will need to mature for a bit. Then Micro-LED should start becoming a "thing" too. Good time ahead, for sure. Thanks for stopping by, and congrats again on scoring such a great price.

thanks i will buy

Thank you so much for watching!

ive take the c27. its bright enough

[@RADERTECH]

The C2 is awesome, and sells like hotcakes! Thanks for stopping by and watching!

[@RH-nk7eo]

I love Sony but I can't justify the extra £1000 that the A95K costs over the G2. I'm going to wait until the end of the year to see if the A95K drops further to make the gap a bit easier to justify. I'm happy to pay a bit more for Google TV and Sony's XR processor but not £1k more.

[@RADERTECH]

That sounds like a really smart move, thanks for watching!

[@michaelburton5198]

I Not Saying YOU'RE GOING TO Get The New Samsung S95C Coming Out This Year, But Would U Choose The 🤔 New Samsung 🤔 Or LG G3 Coming Out 🤔 This Year???? I Have The Samsung S95B, But It's OK With My Denon AVRX6700H, But Doesn't Syc Like It Should Unless Everything Is Connected To The Samsung S95B. That's My Issue???? Connectivity With The Avr Receiver's In General????? The New Samsung, Can Go Up To 144HZ And The 1 Connect Box Is Back, So I Don't Know Moving Forward????

[@DrakonR]

Samsung has garbage QC and makes their oleds worse in updates so...

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching. For me to consider the Samsung (if I were still looking), I'd have to wait it out a bit to make sure they don't go crazy with updates, and that folks aren't reporting any major issues with the panel. That right there has me leaning towards the G3, for that piece of mind. But if Samsung chills out with their updates, then I'd definitely want to compare them in the store, as I think the S95C would be real tough to beat.

[@michaelburton5198]

@@RADERTECH , Wow!!! Wasn't Even Thinking About The Updates Crap, And I Appreciate The Response!

[@Skiller7777]

C2 is the best tv for the money, also all Oled panels are LG anyway, if you have a bit more money go for the G2

[@RADERTECH]

Exactly! Thanks for watching.

[@superstarlife22]

Hi, Do you notice the silver trim around the tv in a dark room ?

[@RADERTECH]

That's a great question. In all honesty, I've never noticed it one time except when I'm looking for it like right now. The part that's visible head-on is only like 1mm thick, and you don't notice it on the sides really unless you're viewing from a very off angle. It's really a non-factor.

[@superstarlife22]

@@RADERTECH Thanks for your answer. I know in a bright room you can see the silver trim lining around the front of the frame and also shining glares coming of it but i want to use the Tv in a dark room. So. I think it should be ok . By the way. best review about this TV on KZbin! Thank you.

[@markmd9]

The thing that made me pick LG over Samsung oled was the brown color of the panel on Samsung when there is light in the room. It makes it look cheap.

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for sharing this, I didn't really pay too much attention to build quality, other than checking for the infamous bend issue. Thanks for stopping by!

[@rachelnicole9127]

What size is this ? I might be getting this . Only thing I don’t like is webos

[@RADERTECH]

This one here is the 65". For the G2, you def want either the 55", 65", or 77". The 83" and 97" versions use last year's panel, of which isn't as bright. This TV really is incredible, I'm enjoying it a ton. Thanks for stopping by and watching!

[@calvinwilliams8916]

@@RADERTECH Thanks for info on the G2 83” panel being not as bright. I have one on-hold till my house build finishes. Now I’m in the hunt for an 83 again. Maybe the a90j…your thoughts?

[@RADERTECH]

@@calvinwilliams8916 You're welcome. It really sucks that they don't get the same panel as the 55" - 77" versions. I've heard nothing but great things about the A90j, but I'm honestly not well versed enough with it to steer you in one direction or the other. I know Sony's good, that's for sure.

[@raiders559]

Is $1499 for the c2 65" a good deal? Wish I could pay the extra 500 for the g2 ☹️ I never had an oled. Was also looking at Sony x90k

[@RADERTECH]

Seems like a pretty fair price really. The C2 was almost the same as the G2 back during Black Friday, it was like $1,750 or something like that. Honestly, the C2 is darn near as good, and you wouldn't really notice any differences unless you have them side by side. Congrats on getting your first OLED, it's in amazing experience that never gets old - seriously!

[@raiders559]

@@RADERTECH thank you. Should receive it next week 🤞🙏

I used to have an LG G2 phone

[@RADERTECH]

It's crazy how they use the same model number accross different product lines. I guess since they don't make phones anymore, they don't have to worry about it moving forward, lol. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@montazownianr1]

Now you are ready for Panasonic LZ2000 :D

[@RADERTECH]

I sure wish Panasonic was available in the states :( I'd love to check them out. I remember seeing them around when I was a kid, I'm not sure when they stopped selling them out here. Thank you so much for watching!

[@wombat5252]

Yeah you can't get that in the states. That is one incredible TV but it looks ugly as hell LOL

[@ZodsSnappedNeck]

You made the right choice with the G2. The QD-OLED models, while having immaculate pq, may possibly have longevity issues. RTINGS released a video on tests they performed on their TVs to simulate years of use, and both the S95B and A95K both showed severe signs of image retention, compared to the G2.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching. I saw that too, it was very surprising. I noticed DigitalTrens did a video on it too, crazy stuff. QD-OLED was supposed to be free from burn-in issues, I had a feeling waiting on the tech to mature would be a good idea. Still loving this G2, but dang the G3 is looking real nice! We'll see how it shapes up througout the year.

[@sinclairj7492]

I’m still leaning towards the A90j, it just produces better colors

[@RADERTECH]

Sony is well known for very accurate color reproduction. I've heard nothing but great things about the A90j, I think you're making a great choice. Thanks for stopping by and watching this long video.

[@sinclairj7492]

@@RADERTECH The only thing I’m hesitant about is deciding on a 2021 tv, only heard the comparisons and like everyone says, making this type of decision with spending $$$ on a premium tv, just don’t want to regret it.

[@zacdavis7]

@@sinclairj7492 I had the A90J and LG G2 in 83 inch and I wish I still had the A90J the color accuracy and detail is better than the G2. LG G2 is absolutely awesome and does look better on the wall but the A90J had more detail and I noticed it right away.
