Oled Titan Battle! LG G4 VS SAMSUNG S95D QD-OLED 

Thank you so very much, my friend! Competition is the best and needs to happen. Thank you so much for here.

Thank you so much!

Much love to you my friend

I’m not an expert on OLEDs in general and i want to ask for those of you who are: who has more 3d pop in image, QD-OLED or WOLED?

@@beammeupscottsp7952 thank you man

Thank you Blaze! I hope all is well my friend.

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thanks buddy. Things are great..just super busy. Loving your content as usual. 👍

G4 waaay better

@@MADTURK61372 In some ways …and in same ways the Bravia 9 will destroy the G4.

Better processing will beat better panel most of the time. For example, Sony’s triluminos IPS/ADS LED panel vs VA Qled panel from Samsung.

Thanks TV expert. I was between Samsung and LG since most of my watch is streamed

@@abelramos8652 I got my hands on S95D in 65 inches, just waiting on G4 to arrive. I’m wishing on S95D to surprise me as i’m a fan of semi-matte screens, just like A80L.

Yeah that is worth a lot to me, The Sammy does appear brighter in some scenes , but the other parts of the image seems weaker . Ie the G4 looks better colored map from light to dark ( again this may not be true, only what I see off 4 conversion or plus steps to my screen ) . Specular highlights are not great in midtones are off. The Samsung is probably doing a great job, just seems LG has some magic sauce. So not just Sony. Why say a Porsche is a better buy than a Lambo for day to day driving

True, samsung can’t touch LG or Sony when it comes to background detail

They are doing with processing I bet. Sony started the game last year.

Actually the S95d looks more accurate because of its QD-Oled tech making the greens warmer/redder compared to the G4 Woled tech making the plant colder bluer and too green which in my opinion stands out more but it’s more unnatural. Both TVs are showing accurate colors but that difference in the Woled tech makes things look different that’s about the only differences in the TVs it comes down to what you prefer the colder Woled sterile tones or the Warmer redder natural tones on the S95d.

@@Marco-em2in All the reviewers say any perceived color diff our end is a product of the camera recording.All tech reviewers show accuracy out of the box ( G4 excellent here ( and after calibrating. So unless you have seen both in person , right in front of you at the same time. i'm highly sceptical. People complained about WOLED pink of access. Plus our brain fixes everything up. So unless you are a colorist, or really really good color vision . And like music you see perfect tones. It does not compute. basically get the TV with the best price and features , and the less imperfections that bother you . They are all technically good. So processing is much more important IMHO

Ya except for that IDIOT matte screen It's a never buy. Don't reward stupidity.

For real

Brightness is the only thing that can be evaluated here. Everything else is so strongly influenced by the camera, by the compression from RU-vid and your TV set that you can't get a reasonable picture of it. You have to experience the TVs live to compare them.

Most people show FMM mode, which is the most accurate mode. This video doesn't.

Great video as always, hope this is a trend! The s95d does small bright highlights better but in high apl scenes, and some not even, it is not just less saturated but simply washed out. I saw this in the first reviews, strangly mutted at certain times esp certain colors. The s90d is about the same look. One reviewer said this aggressive tonemapping this year may be fixed in an update not exactly a ringing endorsement eh. Thanks for putting a voice to this had thought it was me the difference is stark yet only a couple words were said. I see this stuff does come out now just patience is necessary. Was going with the s90d or s95d but will never ever buy an over 4000 dollar tv that looks that washed in bright colourful scenes from one side of the tv right to the other! Not even rich darkntones just washed light color that is a very odd choice right? Maybe next you can speak on the down low of how the c4 clearly beats them both in many many scenes. So messy! Disect kg's non game portion of his last stream and besides the first 4k nitt material, uncommon material, the c4 very often beats them all or 3 of them. Least the samsungs still do animal faces well. No joke i can give 10 scenes just from memory alone. This is truely truely messy from a consumer pov looking for high color. Ug. Anyway there are more then just a few scenes that blow the other tvs right out of the water. People were thinking if the c4 beats the s90d then then the g4 would be even greater...nope not so at all with concistency, again different tonemapping i guess. We need someone to consisely address where the c4 seems to beats the tar out of even its own flagship let alone the s series and lend thier own trusted voice and opinion to it. Yall said dont have expectations and wait for the next s series and i did not listen!

Since the image quality doesn’t change that much, I would definitely go with the samsung one. The integration between the TV software and the soundbar is much better.

Go to rtings and check the settings they used. Also i advise i would personally give you is set brightness and contrast to 50(max)

Yeah, that's a good question. The ability to use an image adjustment in the LG menu might be just the tool you/we need. Both are great tvs, so I don't see any of us turning down either at a discount price. Sony is probably the one out of the mix because they are standing pat and their models always carry a premium price and I own one. But that was a black Friday deal and before OLEDs became better values and bright enough for daytime viewing.

Thank you so much ! I'm truly grateful beyond words ❤️

Agreed. He breaks through the standard takes like hot butter when he sees otherwise. My #1 source easily

@@ehenningsen thank you so very much!😊😊

Thank you so very much!

I haven't heard that from any viewers but I'll check them out at Best buy before I'll cast a final verdict. My largest tv is a 75" Sony over the fireplace. A 77" woukd easily fit but that 83 inch is tempting (despite the price jump) I think that the longer history LG has with OLEDs should be considered. And 5yrs updates also suggest that LG is keeping a long term commitment to its customers.

You will 100% see that battle

Didn't Apple do the same thing try and sell everybody on the fact that the cheaper technology is the better technology? Aren't they now changing their tune?

I do not, especially with the S95D. I can not speak to the S90D. I've been with Six different S95D's at three sizes all performance was equal and excellent

They were never in vivid or dynamic. The Standard and brighter modes where matched by color temp. All processes were left enabled to illustrate the differences in the manufacturers signature. Thank you so much for watching

Yes! The best part about Sanus is you can raise and drop the TV' Height

Please don't forget to make a video of your unboxing we want to see thanks...

@@troudefion7069 haha I'll leave that to the professionals 😂

Awesome!! Get your son going my friend 🤣🤣

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY have to think of a bribe first 😂😂

Did you experience any burn in or image retention with your C3 ? I’ve had 2 previous LG OLED (not sure of the model “) but I watch Fox News all the time and I get about 2-3 years then image retention. Looking at the 77” G4 or the Sony Bravia 9. I’m just curious if everyone else is experiencing the burn in and Im image retention like I am with the LG brand.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. The light sensor on Sony is definitely amazing. As it does exactly what you mentioned. For LG, it's similar but not quite as refined but it also may change with updates. Thank you again

Absolutely right, as much as I am tempted by the G4 I am waiting for the Panasonic Z95A, which has the same panel as the G4, before I pull the trigger

You and me both! Thank you so much for watching

It's in fact the opposite in HDR. With woled a lot of bright colors in HDR are undersaturated, it's been this way with all of them compared to the qd-oleds. Don't use the LG as a reference display. Besides, they're not in FMM mode in this video.

the matte coating will have a negative effect on the black levels in a bright room

@@dante19890 yes but i fear that coating is also effecting it in a completely dark room, thats why I want to see it next to the 90D

@@carlm189 The matte coating will produce a little blooming effect on bright highlights on dark backgrounds off angle in a dark room due to internal reflections

You mean G4 black crush 5:28 you cant see the women’s clothes like on the S95d. Also both have infinite blacks they are Oled unless light is hitting the matte screen on the S95d it will look the same as G4 black.

My absolute pleasure! Thank you so very much for your kindness and generosity

A smaller display will always yield a sharper image due to pixel density my friend. However the 83 G4 is super sharp with the new Alpha 11 processor.

Sony or Panasonic

Lg G4, good skills for upscaling HD to FHD or 4k

Upscaling has been good on both, actually better on Samsung according to Rtings so far, not sure about the newer models.

They seem not to be adjusted similar. G4 darker black shadows.

So glad you enjoyed!

The thing is though, the S95D has more accurate and "true-to-life" colors. With woled a lot of bright colors will actually be undersaturated in HDR.

I would give the G4 the edge In sports due to it's processing, being brighter in the whites in hockey and not dimming

That's always the toughest question. I'd give LG the reliability nod, but Samsung sells so many more, so its lack of reliability could be because there is so many more out there . It really comes down to which operating system and the remote😁

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thanks for the honest answer

It doesn't, oleds appear more blue on camera. Thanks for watching

Yup its really bad. The QD-OLED has more natural looking color to me but maybe it’s a calibration issue

Oleds appear that way on camera. While they push blue , QD-OLEDs push pink. Not that blue in person

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Colors just look more pure on the QD

​@@BeamberI agree after going from Panasonic woled to Samsung qd oled this is spot on. Looking at that scene @17:14 highlights issues with woled, the whites of the clouds always have a tint and green tones @17:26 never look natural. They always seem to be too neon for green and it is noticeable in person after putting the 2 screen technologies next to each other.

@@paulhoey9803 yea I don’t know if it’s a torch mode issue or something but those greens are hella bad and wildly off

There are about 30 used my friend

I still appreciate you watching even though your not in the market for a new one.

Well said!

They are about equal In most aspects. I'd go G4 for movies and streaming as it has the better processing and Dolby vision. I hope this helps and thank you for watching

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY @BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Hi Brian, thank you for the quality content, it's very rare to see tv's side by side. What model would you recommend for sdr gaming? a95l, s95d, g4? Thanks in advance

Here you go my friend ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PBbD6tqnY1U.htmlsi=biR1l4ZG6z4vfu7H

The Sony Bravia 9 looks good, are you interested in getting that TV? I'm getting the 77" Bravia 9 this year.

the matte AR coating is what hurt its hype

Color vibrancy is still in QDOLED’s favor. G4 is processed out of its mind but it still looks incredible. Great panels this year.

It's the first year I've rated the LG panel since the c9 however I still think these two trade too often to pick a favourite

Whats the color setting on the g4? And is it on brightness expression enhancer? Curious how it competes with s95d if settings are similiar. I have s95c and G4, with color around 90-95 the g4 pretty much matches qdoled color. I guess this vid is with color 80-90 range?

Smoking? Did you listen to the video. It wins by a hair if you’re super close to the tv or it’s a bigger size. That’s about as small of a difference as it gets. Plus it loses on some things he mentions. Uniformity and colors.

I'll see the Bravia 9 Wednesday again Wednesday at a Sony event then hands on the week after. The QN95D needs it's own video then it will fight the 7. Stay tuned 😁

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Sony is doing another event? Just bring it all on I am here for it .😁

​​@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY g4 or s95d for watching new movies?

good question

I love that you watch your amazing work on the best TV'S in the world ❤

Both are not calibrated to the Sony HX3110....they would look more similar if they were and the sun would not be blown out.....but out of the box....Samsung is Samsung....BTW Vincent Teoh just announced that G4 is not using the 3000nit panel. That's wrong.

@@kclaytree2734 So let me get one thing straight. You guys now are demanding TV reviewers to have a Sony 30000$ monitor to watch for free reviews? I have an idea why don't Brian or others create a Patreon and all of you pay 20$ a month or maybe we can do a fundraising to buy a Sony monitor. Also calibrators don't use a Sony 30K monitor to calibrate the TVs. Like best buy or even pros don't have these kind of equipment. As for Vincent to me he's a bit bias. I have seen the G4 and is amazing. Maybe the 83 inch is not using the latest and greatest but the 55 65 G4 is the best TV this year.

Yeah! Honestly, anyone would be happy with these TVs. We should be happy that both these manufacturers are pushing each other to make great TVs. Competition is good in this space!

You raise some good points. I own a Samsung and they make good tvs, but they don't make an 83 inch and they don't have a 5yr warranty.. Of course, price is always a consideration. My bet is LG will adjust to the marker prices.

@@davidoconnell4433 yeah actually my plans might be changing where I don’t need the thin panel so I might get a 55 G4… not sure yet. Current setup has TV in the wall behind a 1-way mirror which is obviously ridiculously reflective and steals some light-but it will cost effort and money to change it and it looks good in the room. So I had been considering changing it around and going with a very thin 65 with no mirror. But maybe a 55 G4 behind the mirror and better shades..,

Went back and fourth

😂😂😂😂 no

Stay tuned, my friend, and you'll see it very soon! Thank you for watching

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Today, tomorrow? 😁😇

Not quite that soon😅

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Ha ha. I saw your other reply. So not that far either. 😉

Thank you, and thank you so much for watching

Excellent comment!!

The X90L is very good, and I have several vids on it, including its largest size. It is very limited in its capabilities in regards to local dimming. It's very good for what it is .

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYYes I watched them all 😀 Thank you for all your content

@@Dillingham- my absolute pleasure!

They trade shots all vid my friend! The camera will always struggle to truly cover two very large tv's. The G4 doesn't really have an issue with shadow detail so your good😁 thanks so much for watching

The G4 has the edge in detail for processing in regards to movies and streaming. It also has Dolby Vision.

It's very good!!
