Without wanting to seem greedy, seeing that the Samsung s90d is a better TV (the QD-OLED variants at least), would you be able in the future to compare the s90d with the qn90d?

      Geat Video,@@TECHOSAUR! I bought the 43qn90d, but noticed some blur around movement (even at the actors faces) and got bothered with it. Decided to ask for refound and wait for the black friday to get a new Tv as monitor. I`m really thinking about an OLED, maybe the 48s90d (since i like the tizen), but I saw a video comparing it to the 48 C4 and it loses lots of details on the image and the colors didn`t look as great as the 48 C4 on the movie too. Although, seeing your video, I'm thinking that maibe I just didn't calibrate the 43qn90d adequately. What do you think? Did you noticed it as well? Does the blurr / judder reduction or other settings would remove it. If you could do more content on home office use and gameplays with both monitors would be amazing. Still have my doubts. Thanks for the videos!

      I am referring to the motion settings, or motion interpolation. On the LG C4, it should be called ‘OLED Motion’ (that’s what it’s called on my LG C1). I use this setting to smooth out games that run at 60Hz/60fps. The downsides of using this setting on most TVs are usually some flickering, artifacts, or a dimmer screen.”

    I have the QN90B 50" as tv/monitor for 1 year and 7 months (got it on jan 2023). I'm not going to talk about the good things since you can see it on your own in UA-cam. I use it at 4k 144hz in pc and of course for my Xbox Series X.
    -The viewing angles are horrible. When I watch a movie I can see pale colors to the left and right of me. Only in the center of the screen I see vivid colors.
    -I have to live with local dimming to low because on high will wash out colors when scene is dark. It's a known bug.
    -Dark scenes are horrible.
    -When I'm navigating the tv menu with the remote, it freezes sometimes and remote turns unresponsive.
    -After the year of use I'm seeing little black dots when scenes are bright, guess they are dead pixels.
    If you are new and you come from lcd or old led tvs, the jump to samsung's neo Qled is noticeable.
    If you are used to high end tv, neo qled is not worth it.
    From all the things I wrote. The local dimming bug really made me regret buying the QN90B instead of an LG Oled.
    Maybe in the future I will gift this to someone in my family and jump to LG Oled.
    Samsung updates are horrible and they are used to f*k with features that were working properly.
    Cheers.

      I have never used a QN90B. I started with the last generation QN90C and now have the QN90D. I think the QN90C is a shift from the B. From what I heard, the B was really bad in more than one way. I used the QN90C as a TV and PC monitor, and it was great, except for viewing angles, dirty screen effect, The QN90D is actually great. On the D, I've noticed better dark scenes. The system responsiveness on both is good; they're not laggy.

      @granthartley 2 дні тому

      Yeah, maybe in some spots, but what about the loss of detail from everything being too dark on the OLED? That is a much worse issue in my opinion. Keep in mind, the camera being used to record the tv images does not look to be of high quality/high dynamic range (no offense Techosaur), so any really bright contrasting scenes like seen on the QN90D, will likely become overexposed, which will cause it to look like it is the TV that is losing the detail, if you are not aware of this. I suspect this is part of why he never mentioned any loss of detail on the QN90D in the video perhaps, and only mentioned the C4's loss of details in dark scenes (keep in mind that there is also such a thing as underexposure too, potentially giving the illusion of black crush haha).

    Hi. Thanks for the great test, because I was just thinking about these two models. I would like to use it as a typical TV, i.e. Netflix, Amazon Prime, UA-cam and cable. I would watch it perfectly straight ahead. The white in C4 looks very blue, as if this TV had no white color. Samsung looks better because of the brighter matrix. Which model would you choose for Netflix? I don't have a console and I wouldn't play on this TV. I would be very grateful for your advice.

      Actually, when the C4 is on its own, you can’t perceive it. Only by placing them side by side will you immediately notice how much colder the C4 is, even at standard settings. I tried to play with the color temperature, but it never produced a pure white grade. Also, the QN90D is on standard; I didn’t make any changes. I’m not sure if the panel I received is like this, but it’s truly a vast upgrade in terms of white temperature. Also, my previous QN90C 43 had blue tinting, as I said in their comparison video, but the QN90D is whiter. I also made sure it wasn’t a camera issue; in real life, it gave the same view.
      It's a bit of visual trickery because the C4 alone will appear white, but when placed next to a whiter display, you will begin to perceive it as blue

      Actually, the C4 performs better in terms of providing a more realistic image. The QN90D, on the other hand, makes images appear somewhat smooth and artificial at times. I don't know if you mean better shadow details because in the apple example I see the C4 showing finer details than the QN90D, but the QN90D has better highlights and color vividness. The C4 gives less strong colors and highlights, but I see finer blacks like the black lines which are absent on the QN90D. I guess the reason is just that OLED is more accurate and since pixels can turn off it gives better image results than a local dimming setup.

      @TECHOSAUR  10 днів тому

      It really comes down to your preferences. OLED offers pitch-black levels, sharp image quality, decent brightness, and great response times. On the other hand, the QN90D, with its mini-LED, provides higher brightness in SDR/HDR, great (though not OLED-level) black levels, and decent response times for gaming.
      In terms of image quality, the C4 appears more natural, while the QN90D tends to look more vivid. Price is another factor to consider, LG's OLEDs are often priced higher, whereas Samsung frequently offers significant discounts, especially around Black Friday. If you find the QN90D at a lower price, it's an excellent all-round option. However, if you prefer OLED and the price gap isn't too large, the C4 could be a better investment.
