Best unbiased comparison on YT between the two... I wanted to buy S95D, so was searching for an unbiased comparison between the two... I love LG too, in fact my current TV is an LG too, but the way some people were bashing the S95D, I got confused, thinking is the matte screen really that bad? This video proved that S95D has more superior picture quality than the G4... Thanks man.. I don't need to see any more videos now... :)

Great review. Really appreciate you showing the impact of ambient light from windows, a common real life situation. Both great TVs, but leaning toward S95D to replace older LG C8 which I’ll move to a room with shutters and better light control.

This is a solid review that I think most people would find helpful. It's unfortunate you are being harassed by a swarm of LG fan boys. They're been like this since QD-OLED panels started mud stomping WOLED panels. Competition in the market place really bugs them. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Great video! thanks.

I'm enjoying my Sony A80L with its semi-glossy screen. It does enough rejection of lights in my dining room and kitchen but keeps the deep black levels. And it's plenty bright for my space.

In which setting did you set the screen saver at 01:00 ? I upgraded from LG C8 to G4, but I couldn't find this setting anywhere in G4.

Fantastic comparison. I was eagerly awaiting this one and you did not disappoint. I would personally go with the S90D over both of them; it has a glossy screen which I prefer and is cheaper than the S95D. RTINGS actually gave them the same score.

S95d is the best imo

I think the issue with s95d is still the lack of a polarizer with qd-oled that can further improve bright room performance. I'm not a fan of matte displays but I'd be interested to see how a polarizer will improve the matte look.

Interesting point at @ 3:20 about off angle becoming more sharp.... Optics! I guess!

Thank you for this. An informative and bias free comparison.

Good video. Motion?

Im guessing using filmmaker mode on both would create very similar brightness with probably the s95d appearing slightly more saturated?, i would have preferred to see s95d movie compared to cinema home on the g4 since those are the less accurate more brighter modes, cinema is the accurate mode for the g4 so it would obviously appear dimmer than movie on the s95d, so i would have preferred it being compared with filmmaker mode, but overall nice job.

Because the matte crap panel

Had the tools but did not do Post-calibration and EOTF correction comparison? That's disappointing.

Question: Would you be able to measure/compare APL capabilities of those sets?. In higher APL scenes we lose brightness which means lower contrast and lowers the depth perception - so that is as important as pure blacks, more important than peak brightness alone. A lot of people say G4 is brighter in real content - that is probably due to higher APL (or worse Samsung tone mapping). Perhaps the combination of inky blacks that WOLED has and higher APL than ever before (it apparently draws 30% more energy over G3 and can heat up the room) - could unlock this 3D pop people are talking about. Perhaps it’s not only thanks to better processing but higher overall picture brightness. Possibly they have crossed this threshold of contrast/brightness where objects stand out to our eyes. Would love for someone to compare APL to see the difference between them. Ps. I know you compared subjectively APL here but this was in incompatible modes - inaccurate Samsung and accurate LG. You would need to load up min 2000 or 4000 nit content and see them on both what it looks like in bright scenes.

They have smart shades now 🤔 Jesus, i'm getting old ... i still do it the old way, like getting up and close the curtains.

Once Ph-OLED comes out commercially, QD and MLA will be done and all flagships will have the same tech as there will be no brightness for color saturation tradeoff.

Couple of remarks - comparing inaccurate Samsungs movie mode to accurate cinema on LG is a bit pointless. It doesn’t show what LG is capable of only how Samsung oversaturated colors. Secondly - with reflections being in the picture - Samsung loses color saturation to the point it looks under saturated compared to LG accurate mode? I mean that shows how much contrast gets a hit. Whilst on LG we don’t see reflections when colors are present, only when blacks. Gloss wins no doubt. Not to mention reflections and picture are at different focal lengths - which means it’s easy to lock your eyes on the picture and totally ignore reflections - unless they are too strong and attract our focus more than picture itself. I adore your hdr videos man. Well done putting them with similar reflections also. You might be first who managed to do so. It’s fun to watch.

@@zelko0768 Samsung's Oleds, well at least since the S90/95C and this S95D as well are very accurate in filmmaker mode especially after a calibration. It's simply pointless to compare two TVs in anything other than their most accurate picture modes, you'll simply see each manufacturers approach to manipulating the picture - that doesn't tell you which TV is better. To learn that, you'd have to get them as accurate as you can and play demanding content (= very bright content with wide color gamut and/or high color saturation, scenes with high dynamic range and very high/very low APL scenes) that's where the wheat separates from the chaff. Regarding showing the coating; VillaMan did a decent job capturing the reflections on camera there but to fairly compare them, they have to be at the same angle towards the camera! Put them right next to each other or on top of one another otherwise we have no idea how the reflection of one TV would actually look like on the other.

Is there that much difference in picture motion and processing between LG and Samsung? Why would my older Samsung process lower quality content better than a more advanced processor.

The G4 may be more accurate but the S95D has a more pleasing punchy picture. I saw both at the local big box and while the G4 has better white brightness, the color brightness in the S95D was far superior and more impressive. Also artist intent is overrated, I want the picture quality that looks best to me. On a side note, I held up my phone flashlight to the S95D and the way it minimized the glare was impressive. If I were shopping for a bright room OLED, it would be my first choice.
