Hey everyone, we made a mistake: it's a triad subpixel layout, NOT pentile. Pentile would result in a lower subpixel resolution, which the S95B doesn't suffer from. Our thanks @Gimils_Beard and @neoteriX for pointing this out in the comments.
The subpixel layout that QD-OLEDS use is a triad layout, not pentile. A pentile layout has the same shape of rgb stripes, but is in a RBGBR layout. The five stripes give the display it's name, pentile like pentagon. This is a pedantic argument for sure, but it's important to be specific and accurate in your language, especially with labs coming online.
I'm glad someone else caught this too. One of the big reasons PenTile was disliked in the early days of AMOLEDs and smartphones was because PenTile resulted in a lower subpixel resolution (1/3 fewer subpixels than traditional RGB) than a comparable LCD display with the same pixel resolution. This was particularly bad in the 720p display days, though it is no longer an issue with the current very high PPI smartphones. The issue with QD-OLED is different in that the subpixel resolution is not diminished at all (it is still RGB), but the arrangement of the subpixels have changed, from a stripe to triad.
Yea love it when he pushes up against our tech review cervix and makes us call him tech zaddy. I thought I was the only one but I can’t be jealous there’s plenty of him to go around. Not in size but in spunk.
@@brunoutechkaheeros1182 so isn't LG. In 2016 LG discontinued the EG line of OLEDs and launched the 6 series. (B6, C6, G6). Then they went to 7, 8, and 9 before going to the X. (CX). After X (spoken as "ten" btw...) they restarted at 1. So, C6 was launched in 2016 while the C1 was launched in 2021. This year, they are launching the C2. As for what they will do in 2026 when they come around to 6 again.... Your guess is as good as mine. C6².
The grey is due to the lack of a polarization layer. The lack of a polarization layer also greatly helps with OLED efficiency and is what gives QD-OLED its ultra-wide viewing angles.
@@icy1007 ... hm the tv seems to have a lot less glare problem and lights off or dimmed the performance is the same. Unless u watch a lot of movies during the day with daylight hitting right on ur screen ( seems unlikely) then id say the biggest factor in picking one of them is the price.
@@mitahenare8901 no, criticism is an important part of life and is extremely important in making their (or anyone else's) videos better. I'm pretty sure LMG appreciates this type of criticism, as they already addressed one of the flaws (Confusion which subpixel layout QD OLED uses between Pentile and Triad)
It more than just that, at least on the 34" Alienware QD-OLED. The anti-glare coating has some kind of matte veil to it, making it look slightly like a matte screen. This is especially noticeable in certain SDR content like anime. The LG C2 has a superior picture because of it. Dont buy and compare a LG C2 if you want to keep your Alienware 34" QD-OLED...
Gee, your video has taken me down memory lane. I remember our 1st television in 1960 is was in a large wooden cabinet and when a tube went out we went to the grocery store to the tube tester and got a new tube to replace the one that was burnt out and we had television again. If a resistor or capacitor burnt out we could go to a electronic store after identifying the burnt out component by using liquid Freon and see what was blown, and get the part and repair it. Even thought the quality of the picture has improve over the year the ability of repair has gotten harder for the average person to repair electronics today. I don't want to go back to tube sets or solid state since the power consumption is really bad compared to today's electronics. It is rather cool to see how electronic have changed over the years from tubes to integrated circuits it has been a fun trip keeping up with tech.
Yeah I miss radio shack before they tried to become like best buy and went under. Fixed so many things myself for cheap and usually just gave it away as I just loved fixing things simply for the challenge
What splitter are they using? I need a good high quality splitter to retain the quality and speed of input when hooking up all my consoles to one TV and a capture card
Ah, I hope this turns into series called TV Wars or something. This is actually both funny, and interesting. Who knows, maybe with all the new TVs, we can actually buy some OLEDs from earlier videos.
The reviews of the sony a95k QD OLED are already up now and they don't sound much promising and if you are a gamer then totally avoid it. And the hefty price makes it a deal breaker.
@@user-jj2uo9me4d Yes, because Sony Has insane prices. Same story whit Xiaomi dominating the mobile market, its only because they sell tons of cheap stuff.
@@supaahflyy it only looks grey if theres a light shining at it directly and that’s still better than seeing a reflection on lg oleds because then you won’t be able to see what’s on the screen at all
I would like to see some LMG video comparing and going over the interface, remotes, apps, software, quality of life, ect... of all popular TV manufacturers. Including ones with roku built in or whatever smart OS they have. I have an LG at home and some the the menu design decisions are very annoying and we have Samsung at my place of work in our meeting rooms. what's the deal with all these hidden menus, and would like to know the opinion of LMG staff (and non tech ppl as well).
Personally I just buy an Apple TV (or Nvidia Shield if you run Android) and run that with my TVs so I don’t need to worry about the interface and I can focus on the panel quality and features (filmmaker mode, Dolby Vision, etc.)
These are of my favorite types of videos. I currently have a c1 but the brightness of the Samsung when I first saw it in person. Competition in the space is an amazing thing, and can only help the transition to better oleds. For now I am sticking with LG for the better user interface, and I do have pretty good light control so it is bright enough for me right now.
OLED is getting cheaper every day, but obviously still expensive for casuals. But so are better LCD's. But these new 42" ones are ridiculously expensive now compared to almost half price 48" C1.
I've bought the LG C1 48" as my living room tv, and also use it as a computer monitor (with care), I do have a black solid background, taskbar hidden and I don't run it in HDR when using the computer regularly, and I have been super happy that I have I lost an inch from my Samsungs 49" super ultra wide monitor, the perfect blacks just makes it worth every penny. Samsung was an option, but what I heard about Samsung interface compared to LGs, it was a no brainer to go with the LG. Goes well with my LG soundbar too. EDIT: both my old monitor and the C1 are 120hz displays, but the OLED seems so so much smoother.
*"I have been super happy that I have I lost an inch from my Samsungs 49" super ultra wide monito"* You didn't lose anything -- you gained a whole bunch of display area. For any given diagonal measurement, the more rectangular the aspect ratio (the further away from a square), the lower the total area. Picture two displays that both have a 20" diagonal measurement, but one is a square and the other is 1" high. Same diagonal, yet the latter is just a little sliver with almost no area.
It will work fine. I have used my C9 for PC usage for 3+ years at this point with screensaver on 1 min. Zero burn-in at full brightness (yeah, really).
It’s worth noting that the LG G1 and G2 both sport a 5 year warranty, longest on an OLED. It may just be LG blustering, but if we’re using warranties as a measure of manufacturer confidence it’s worth saying. Edit:FWIW the primary reason I made this comment is just because Linus noted Samsung's 3 year warranty on this TV as an indicator of how confident they are in the technology. So it's obviously worth saying that LG actually has a longer warranty if we're using that as an indication of anything. I'm not making any claims of how that reflects in actual panel performance.
I have a LG OLED tv, it had major burn in within 12 months. It was an basoulte nightmare trying to get it replaced & it tooks months. After it got replaced now it second one is doing the same thing.
@@hamidkarzai7096 This very much sounds like the tv was treated with heavy misuse ! ... I used my (known for being prone to burn in ) LG 65C7 for 16,600 hrs! by now (avg. of 9 hrs per day over 5 years) and all I can notice when using red and cyan test screens is a very faint burn in I can not see at all during normal watching ... e.g. a movie or similar.
@@marcuscole8796 I have no idea what heavy misuse even means. I just watch TV & stream stuff? To the best of my knowlage - i'm using it well within the manufactures specs & in fair use...
I've had one too for about 6 months but disappointed to see screen delamination happening. They look like air bubbles from not removing the protective film but it's actually a defect in one of the layers in the panel. I'm told this is rare but I don't know.. none of these bubbles existed when I first bought it. But they are getting bigger and larger in number over time. I did not buy an extended warranty because It's BS to spend an extra 200 dollars for it. But it seems things are purposely made cheap to make extended warranties a requirement these days.
@@Utkarsh_A Well not for Best Buy but probably good for the LG Warranty. I'm just not sure it's worth the hassle of sending it in and possibly having the same issues later. The bubbles are pretty invisible when the TV is on. It's only when you look up close or in certain lighting when the screen is black. But I'm worried it could become a problem I guess.
@@overnightdelivery Ahh okay I see, I don't know what it's like over there, but here in Australia most of the TV warranties from the company itself, they come out to you to replace or repair whatever needs to be repaired. Maybe give LG a call and see what they offer! Our family TV I had the panel on that replaced over 3 times as they all had some kind of an issue lol
$1,600 for a 65" C1 is absolutely insane. I bought my CX in October 2020 and I thought I got it for an absolute steal at $1,800, it's amazing how much more affordable they're becoming.
I've got a 65" C1 I've used as a PC screen/left playing RU-vid all the time, it's at about 3000 power-on hours. No burn-in on burn-in test videos, still looks great. I calibrated it with calman and an x-rite i1 display pro at 300 hours then again around 2000 and there was no meaningful drift to the calibration and no change on the light level.
Yeah, same story with my 48" C1, and I even play map games with static huds. Linus and Wendel only had a cross burn in because they did the exact thing everyone who's not stupid knows not to do and left 4 cornered windows with defined edges up nonstop.
I just purchased a C1, and I'm more than happy with it. I compared it to other higher end TVs and there was almost no difference in picture quality, but the price difference was just too much to justify the "better models".
Unless you’re somebody like Linus who has access to multiple high end TV’s and monitors and so can tell the difference due to more exposure it probably doesn’t matter.
I've got C1 as well and using it on 60% oled brightness already to have comfortable watching experience even on sunny days, which mean, if I've got C2, I would have to put it down to 45-50% to get similar result. I mean, there is no reason for me to compete for more nits.
@@tomassrubar4679 The extra brightness doesn't matter for regular content but it DOES matter for HDR. It looks fine at 100% OLED brightness but you don't realize it should look better unless you're comparing it to another set that has more brightness. In the end if you're not fixated on small details or use much HDR content, it's not a big deal.
@@overnightdelivery Have you seen the graphs and reviews? even in HDR, the peak brightness difference only apply for 10% or less of the screen, and it's only for a few seconds. The sustain peak brightness is still very low. Even in HDR, most content would not make a difference and the few that actually are noticeable, you would need to have it side by side to notice it. The peak brightness need way more sustain time to be actually an improvement. If you want an equivalent analogy, It's like moving from 240hz to 360hz. 240Hz is so good that the 360Hz is barely an improvement, and it's impossible to notice unless you have it side by side. In the other side, changing from 60hz to 144hz is very noticeable (like changing from TN to OLED).
Dealt with Samsung on a defective QN90A. If you've ever had any dealings with Samsung's support, the choice between the Samsung and the LG is the easiest choice you'll ever make: LG all the way.
Same experience here, but with a monitor. My Neo G9 was a mess and the customer support made me vow to never buy a Samsung product unless its from somewhere like BestBuy. It's really that bad. Never buy direct from Samsung.
Idk, I had a very pleasant experience with Samsung right before Covid with a mid range Samsung tv I bought in 2019. An HDMI port stopped working. Contacted support. They had tech support call me to troubleshoot and confirm that it was indeed defective. Took maybe 3 days from first contact to them emailing me that they were sending me a new TV. Took a few more days for them to deliver it and take away the old one. Original TV was bought off Amazon and was within the warranty period.
So happy with my C1. Not for one moment I thought it lacked brightness, even with french doors open in a small room, it wasn't ever unwatchable. At night HDR contrast shift tends to nearly blind me.
God of War... once you get the fire weapons swing those bad boys around in a dark area and watch the TV's backlight rapidly flicker between full bright and minimal brightness. My TV has no local dimming, so it's Basic HDR. I turned on a ceiling light after noticing this.
While I love to see all the content about the awesome panel tech that's coming-out, I have to say for me that within my price range a smooth user experience is more important. From what I've seen of friends' TVs, LG takes the W in this department by a country mile, but I'd love to see a video on LTT that compares each of the big players' (and some of the major budget brands') offerings on the UX front.
I've decided that I didn't "need that many nits in my mom's basement " and save a ton of money and went with the LG C1. It's phenomenal for my use case until I can buy a bigger QD-OLED next year!
I would really appreciate a video that talks about every (or near every) Display type, I am still confused on what is better for what (the only thing I know is, that Smart Ink Displays are very great for E-Books)
Honestly I'd say you're best bet is a Quantum Dot LED/QLED/ULED screen. High brightness, very good contrast & color, and they last way longer than a OLED.
I own an LG G2 OLED 82 Inches and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. I play Battlefield, Assassin's Creed and let me tell you. With the lights off. Game on!!! This TV delivers and you as a gamer are looking for. Ah of course, I also have an XBOX series X to deliver performance...
I've had the Alienware QD-OLED monitor for a couple weeks now. For gaming, this thing is on a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL! It is beautiful. But as a software engineer who works from home a lot, text isn't quite as pleasant to look at all day for sure. And my only gripe with the monitor is that it has 2 systems in place to help combat burn in. Every 4 hours, it prompts you to run a ~5 minute pixel refresher (you can permanently hide the prompt and it will run automatically when the monitor next shuts off). And the really annoying one... Every 20 hours, prompts you to run a more aggressive pixel refresher that takes much longer. This prompt shows up and cannot be hidden. You have to hit 'OK' to start the process, then turn the monitor off and on in order to resume the game you were playing. Hopefully they patch it so the longer refresher just behaves like the shorter one and just goes automatically when I shut it off without prompting me.
*"...Every 4 hours, it prompts you to run a ~5 minute pixel refresher...Every 20 hours, prompts you to run a more aggressive pixel refresher..."* I have over 10,000 hours on a 2017 LG OLED55B7A (with literally _zero_ image retention). There is absolutely nothing normal about the Pixel Refresher behavior you are relating. That is utterly ridiculous and seems obviously a bug/glitch. The "minor" refresh should never interrupt you during usage, and the "full" refresh is actually destructive over the long run and should be run as absolutely sparingly as possible. For example, I have only run the full refresh _once_ in over 10,000 hours. It did work wonders (It actually made the regularity better than new), but it should not be used unless necessary. Either your "pixel refreshers" mean something entirely different than LG's, or something is not right with your OLED. Either way, it's an incredibly annoying "feature" that I would never, ever put up with. My display literally interrupting me during a gaming session? Lol...
@@bricaaron3978 Dunno, maybe Dell set them so aggressively since they know it will be used as monitors with more static images? The smaller refresher isn't bothersome at all. About once a day, the power LED will flash green for a couple minutes after I turn the monitor off to indicate it is doing its thing. But that bigger one that showed the prompt while raiding in WoW did really piss me off though. Maybe I misread something? I'll see how often that happens. If it has to do that once a week or something, fine. But I wish it would only prompt me when I hit the power button to shut it off, and ask if I wanted to do the longer one at that time.
@@bricaaron3978 Difference being that on PC Monitors you're looking at static images a lot of the time unless you're playing a game without a HUD. You're not looking at many static images when watching TV, and unless all you do is play games on it then burn-in isn't nearly as big of a deal.
@@Darion350 *"You're not looking at many static images when watching TV, and unless all you do is play games on it then burn-in isn't nearly as big of a deal."* I don't watch TV and literally can't remember the last time I did. The 10,000+ hours on my OLED55B7A are all as a PC monitor. The majority of the time in Windows. Image retention is a matter of proper operating procedures, and the most important one by far is brightness ('OLED Light' on an LG display).
Shoutout to Visions, they're a Canadian electronics retailer and they have good stuff. I bought their in-house brand of speakers (Soundstage) for my 7.1 setup, I was blown away by the sound quality. I paid a fraction of the cost of a similar Polk/KEF setup they had in the showroom. I also bought my 77" LG C1 and Yamaha RX-A2A from Visions.
Agreed! Visions and Soundstage are fantastic, I get all my AV stuff from there and have been buying Soundstage's speakers since before they were part of Visions.

@@kiellieferickson5506 Well, i guess to be able to offer a great quality image at thi price point, they need to cut somewhere. That is not a good thing. So that is regrettable for you. Nevertheless, it is an adequate decision for me. Thanks for sharing.
There honestly should be mention of the lg woled white pixel diluting colors when there are bright specular highlights. The brighter it gets the less color you will have on the lg. You wont have that issue with qd oled. Lg pushing it hard just means faster degredation even with a heatsink. The heatsink is really there to stop image rention of how hard lg is pushing it. Its a band aid for last gen tech. And lg microlens next iterations of woled is also a bigger bandaid...Qd oled is the future until true rgb oleds come out.
You took the words out of my mouth mate. LG using band aid on an old tech and the white sub pixel thing is still a thing. Looking forward for the release of eLEAP display by Japan Display for the consumer market (heard that it's already licensed to some Chinese company) or the next gen QD-OLED. Still enjoying my Sony LED until they find the winner of the consumer panel tech wars. Cheers mate.
Been using a C9 55" as my main pc display since 2019, zero burn-in. Although unless i'm playing a game or movie in HDR my oled light level is usually between 0-20% depending on amount of sunlight coming in the room. If like me you can easily control amount of light in room or just have a dimly lit room, then imo even the C9's nits is more than adequate.
@2:12 it's actually the opposite to what you said. You mean transmission efficiency rather then the diodes efficiency of generating photons. The QD allows a diode to be underrated and still give the same apparent brightness to the observer due to lower losses through the QD panel.
It's worth remembering the G2 has a 5-year 'limited panel warranty', though I've heard this may be only in the US and UK markets, with 2 years elsewhere
11:35 Her I am sitting, a European, thinking three years is somewhat of a standard warranty length. Many devices have it now - though two years is, by far, the norm still. A five or ten year warranty like I often see for RAM, PSUs, and many kitchen appliances is where I actually start to think: 'That's an outstanding warranty policy!'
@@killerfugu2659 samsung will be the only qd oled supplier because it is their technology. Unless you mean suppliers of the gaming monitors, then yea. But the competition is there, there will be multiple new qd oled monitors coming out in the next year too since clearly people like and want it.
Just bought the 42" LG C2 version a few weeks ago because my old Sony Bravia died after almost 10 years. And i'm very happy with my first OLED. I don't even need to use brightness > 50% (besides HDR content ofc). Don't forget, higher brightness = higher power consumption, even more the bigger your panel is.
Still loving my C9. I get that it technically has a lower brightness than other TVs. But in a dark room it is still able to actually make me squint my eyes during bright scenes. The low brightness is only really a problem during strong sunlight. Maybe I just haven't seen a better TV yet.
I am not only waiting for them to become affordable. I am waiting for them to become affordable at 'projector screen' sizes. Which means I am waiting for ever.
@@CaioEvertonTB oh yeah! Absolutely! White subtitles can actually be a pain. Luckily Netflix allows you to turn the subtitles yellow haha. That is what I did.
I'm just over here with a C6 that is almost tan if you set it to a pure white screen, has a firefox web bar permanently burned in up top with an overlayed RU-vid logo, has about 3 or 4 different aiming reticles overlapping each other in the center, and has a combination of the HUD layout from Skyrim, Fallout 4, Cities Skylines, and Heroes of the Storm. At least the burned in aiming reticles make for some sweet quickscopes!

@@bricaaron3978 I guess Linus is just lying for attention then. I personally have only experienced short term retention effects on my LG TV.

Got a refurbished LG C9 at the beginning of 2020 and it's been amazing, the brightness is fine in a bright room and at night the screen is just incredible. So far no burn in and feel no need to upgrade for quite a while yet
3 year warranty for burn in? What a joke, not everyone can afford to spend $1,500 on a brand new display every 3 years. I still with keeping my monitors for 10+ years, thanks
the massive bezel you see at the beginning of the comparison is due to pixel shift. not the actual bezel size. you will notice the bezel shrink later in the video. also samsung raised their blacks to preserve shadow details. oleds tends to crush blacks. pixels have a hard time coming out of black, so shadow details are lost. the only way to combat this is to raise the blacks. the only way to see if the pixels are turning off completely is to set it up in a pitch black room with no other light and play only a black screen and see if there is any glowing. If you have anything on the screen at all the screen will look black because of perceived brightness by the eyes. you can often see raised blacks when a tv show goes black for split second when it changes scene. if the pixels are turning off completely, your tv will disappear in a pitch black room. but if you have raised blacks, you can still see your tv glow slightly
An actual power consumption at the wall, would have been interesting for these two. Near identical image quality, power usage would have been the tie breaker
I still have a cheap 40" LED from 10 years ago. I was so worried about burn in with plasma, and that shifted to OLED. But that Sony Bravia QD OLED is looking very promising. Hope to see your review when it's released. Good job as always on these vids.
@@lucasrem yes, it's a TV. Good job. Maybe I'm done looking at a cheap TV and wish to upgrade now that I'm in a better financial situation? Maybe I feel 1080p 60fps just doesn't cut it anymore? Or maybe it's my TV, my house and my decision and has nothing to do with you?
@@HelenaOfDetroit That kind of dishonesty has always ticked me off, but in my opinion it's the media who are really responsible. The manufacturers will _try_ to get away with selling an LCD as an "LED", but it's up to the media as to whether they _get away_ with it. And essentially no one ever called them out on it. Now, please help me down from this soap box?
Trust me, it’s not a factor. This coming from a C1 with Dolby Vision, to a s95b. You won’t miss Dolby vision. The color gamut, and brightness in HDR on the s95b more than make up for it. And HDR 10+ is just fine.
I’m excited to see Sony’s implementation of QD-OLED in their A95K, their picture processing, Dolby Vision, Excellent color accuracy out of the box, and the addition of a heat sink (to hopefully prolong the health of the panel), all make for an excellent on paper type of tv
I still have an LG C9 55 inch from December 2019, and to this very day, it is still going strong with no burn ins whatsoever. I do love to try QD-OLED soon, I can't wait.
I have to admit I've always been happy with RU-vid and never felt a need to subscribe to FloatPlane but a rant from Anthony about trains might have me convinced to check it out.
Not having Dolby Vision on the Samsung is still a deal breaker. Compared to regular HDR 10 its night and day difference. That leaves Sony and LG as the only high end options id be choosing.
Hi Lee, when would Dolby Vision be used? Is it with 4k HDR blu rays? All or some? i bought a lcd qled samsung (hdr 10+) but havent set it up yet. Likewise, is this hdr10+ thing on all 4k blurays? (are new 4k br encoded with a bunch of HDR formats on the disc? )
@@fredfinks Dolby Vision is applied to pretty much every Apply TV+ and Disney + release these days. A lot of blu-rays would have it also but not all. Majority of movies from iTunes to buy would also be 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos.
There's also the A95K(?) from Sony with the QD-OLED panel **and** heatsink. I find the android more usable too than tizen and you also get Dolby Vision. You loose HDR10+ though. I wish there where more TVs just supporting both like Panasonic does for example, with HDR10+ being an open(-ish) standard. I hope it'll be ubiquitous in the long run, to not lock everyone into one company (and it's feature set is nearly identical too anyway, while not being dependent on Dolby and potentially allowing creation by everyone)
@@aninditabasak7694 It's the same (from a technological standpoint, except the DoVi reference monitor of cause) and it's open and some movies just have HDR10+ (plus I find the HDR10+ masters often better)
LG must be taking some notes from Intel's book. Put a bigger Radiator on it and let that baby BOOST all of the gigahertz or pixels in this case. I like it
I bought the AW3423DW immediately after watching the video on it. I sit pretty close to mine, and at 125% Windows/KDE zoom I've never once noticed fringing or anything of that nature. I was super concerned before taking delivery but happy to report it seems to be overblown by a fair margin.
Linus I'm gonna be honest this is probably your finest presentation style so far. Such great timing. Makes it fun to watch and less difficult to absorb multiple facts. Also enjoy no-B(ia)S reviews so 2 gold stars. Thanks team! Sony QD can't wait for that. I try to avoid Samsung products if possible.
I hope Linus took the opportunity to set up some kind of rail system in his living room to help make TV installation and removal quicker and easier, seeing as I'll eat my hat if he keeps _any_ TV in there for longer than a month. I know a compulsion when I see one.
For video watching, there isn't really any purpose to 16K. You'd need like a 90 or 120 degree curve to your monitor to benefit from that many pixels. 8K 960 Hz would be better 🙂
@@shadowxaf Is there any perceptible difference to framerates over 240hz either? At least 16K has some potential purposes that go beyond watching videos, like trading and security cameras.
Honestly, this was an underwhelming video with some errors. First correction: PenTile means there are two subpixels per pixel, while QD-OLED panels have the normal RGB subpixels, just in a triangular layout. Secondly: The worse blacks on the S95B in daylight come from the lack of a polarizer, which was deliberately done to further boost efficiency. Additionally, some things are worth pointing out when comparing the G2 and the S95B: The G2 (like every WRGB OLED) suffers from white subpixel dilution effect, where colors wash out at higher brightness levels (the G2 can, however, somewhat mitigate this via software). Because of the "overclocked" nature of the G2, the overall color gamut is not nearly as high as older, less bright WRGB OLEDs. I also wish you would've touched upon white subpixel luminance overshoot on the G2 and the slight black smearing on the S95B.
I bought a LG C2 two months ago and have it in an extremely bright room. The brightness is more than enough the glare of the gloss screen is more of an issue, but nothing dropping the blinds can’t fix. I turned the energy saver off and noticed the brightness is even more which is absolutely stunning. I can’t recommend this tv enough, it is truly incredible.
I'm skeptical that it's heat that effects burn in. I think it's current driven through the oled that causes burn in. The heat management is needed because it get so hot that it will kill the pixels outright. But I don't think the heating plays that much of a role in reducing burn in
@@GroteGlon it's because my phone pushes 1500 nits on an oled and we never have given incremental thought to phone heatsinks. They keep getting smaller. As long as I don't turn up the brightness all the time (drive current) it never gets burn in. Even if I use it outside in the sun all day. There you go professor
I love how the hipocrisy of frame rates has come full circle. It's a bitter sweet victory, but I'll take a W. "120hz hurts my eyes, gives me headaches" said no one in
perfect blacks in a bright room also means more reflections from the background, and you see the perfect blacks of oled better than leds in a dark room, and the anitglare doesn’t seem to affect blacks in a dark room, so I can consider it a feature, antiglare means more shadow detail in a bright room, and perfect blacks in a dark room
Lol.. Here we have 2 year manufacturer warranty by law😝 And additional 3 years (5 total) warranty from the stores. So the warranty actually depends on where you live..
I just got a calibrated 55“ C1 for 1100€ and im absolutely happy with it, especially together with my Xbox Series X. Without considering gaming i would go for Samsung this generation though.
@@haisex3 for me personally, in scenes where it is primarily dark, the extra brigthness of the newer screen actually hurts my eyes a bit in a fully dark room. I can see it being mcuh better for light room viewing though
@@mingyi456 there is a way to turn it down yes, but If you are primarily using it for dark room viewing you can save a decent chunk of money with the g1 over the g2s atm
@@Tehsheeeep I am just starting to watch the video, but I think maybe there may be a longevity advantage for the g2 if you tune it to match the g1 in brightness because of the additional cooling. Some people have speculated that burn in may be accelerated by high temperatures, not just high current used to drive the pixels. Of course, even if it were true, that alone may not be enough to justify the price difference.
