    I went with the 77s95c caught a great deal (just under $3k brand new). If these tvs were priced the same at the time of my purchase I’d go with the g3 just because I trust that brand a bit more and I’m used to the OS considering I’m a CX owner.

      Same here I went from LG CX and snached S95C 65 2400£ plus 150£ 5 year insurance, which covers accident damage and burn in the LG G3 at the time was over 3000£ and just simple burn in warranty. Love S95C but Tizen is a pain in the a....this is first and last samsung TV I bought. The holly grail is the Sony a95l as it has samsung screen which is best and the best sony software but price is too much for me.

I’m more worried about the firmware updates. I don’t think Samsung will need the s95c in a major way like they did the s95b because that would really hurt their brand, but I don’t like the fact that the firmware updates aren’t scheduled ahead of time with a comprehensive log of what is changing…

Can’t beat that image processing with the QD OLED panel and I game on a ps5 so the integration there with the advanced picture settings in gaming would be nice… I don’t have the patience to wait and I can’t justify spending nearly double for that tv. For the price I’m happy with what I have, I initially bought the s90c for $3000 before finding the discount for the s95c effectively making it cheaper than what I paid for the s90c.

    Nice comprehensive video on MLA but in these reviews the 83" is often left out. Does the 83" have all the same processing and magic as the other sizes without the MLA. Any disadvantages to the MLA tech?

  • @thanosaias2717
    @thanosaias2717 Рік тому +2

    Part of the MLA increased brightness is a new boost algorithm (increases lighting at proper aerias) which DOESN'T work during gaming, due to the lag the processor would cause. So in gaming it's not that bright after all, the algorithm makes a huge difference!

    When you get to the big OLED comparison video, one thing I’d like to see discussed is motion processing, particularly how it looks when it’s near-disabled or playing 1080p content. I hate the soap opera effect most 4K TVs display by default and I hear Sony is the best in the game for minimizing this effect while maintaining image quality.

    Do you prefer the 77in LG G3 with MLA over the 83in with no MLA? Is the performance with MLA that much better than the 83in? I can't decide whether to go with the size of the 83in or go with the MLA if it does have the better picture. For that much money I would rather have the performance but I seen the comparison on another channel and it does look washed out on camera. I haven't found where I can see the comparison in person.

    I recently picked up a C2 65” for bargain of 1500€ and the screen uniformity banding was terrible on a grey screen which showed during normal viewing.
    I ran the TV for 4-5 hours then put it to standby and when I woke up it the morning the screen was almost perfect. I think it runs an automatic service pixel refresh or something similar as this is a very common thing. Alot of people freak out when they first get their LG OLED but in most cases it resolves itself in a few hours.

    This all comes with a very hefty price tag. You can come with the mantra that it has the latest technology, blah blah, but for years, we've been hearing the same old song about OLEDs getting cheaper, which hasn't happened. The quality is certainly there, but brightness is one thing, color volume is another. We've heard enough praise already; references to the price tag, not so much. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching an LG channel instead of a UA-cam channel. Although that channel does leave some room for criticism.😉
