As a C1 owner for almost a year now, the extra blue can be solved by turning the colors warmth down to warm 50 instead of the default. That will get the colors to a more realistic color tone on the LG. I understand this is an uncalibrated review, however, I think anyone looking to purchase a TV in 2022 needs to understand that some calibration, however miniscule, will be required for certain content. Being a gamer, this calibration is definitely needed regardless of tv purchased. I have calibrated my older Samsung 6 series even. I used it since 2017, about 4 years, before I got the C1 last year. All tvs will have different settings based on content being viewed as well and need to be adjusted accordingly for the optimal viewing experience. Whether that be SD, HD (with or without HDR), or Dolby Vision. Most of which can be done at home following a Google search or TH-cam video. No need to fork over that extra money for someone else to do this work for you.
Period.
I can get a 65” C1 for $1,300 or the S95B for 2k. Is it worth spending the extra money?
@@Jackboy497 it's all in personal preference. Obviously, I am a little bias being a C1 owner. It is the best TV I have ever owned, hands down. If you are a gamer and the TV will not be in a very bright space any OLED will be great. The viewing angle for OLEDs are amazing too and I didn't even realize how much better they are until visiting a friend's house and watching how the picture changed on his non-OLED based on my positioning around the TV.

Nice review keep up the good work
Great reviews of both oled TVs The Samsung might be the better TV but it does not support Dolby Vision it only has support to HDR 10 Pro plus HLG ..The LG has much better software support especially in the HDR picture Settings....I would choose the LG over the Samsung because of the lack of Dolby Vision on the Samsung ...
I got the Samsung and LG OLED. Ended up returning the Samsung due to insane issues bending , laggy os, extremely saturated or extremely washed out colors, raised blacks due to ambient light. It felt like an unfinished product. LG has been phenomenal the colors are amazing and the picture is beautiful but it does require some calibration! I prefer the picture of the LG over the S95B, besides the brightness is more than enough for my room.
😢 I read all over Reddit people complaining about the Samsung QD OLED has many issues. 😢 this is bummer because in paper it’s an amazing TV.
Tizen is just a bad tv OS. I have noticed many issues with my old 82 inch Samsung tv and my friends s95b. Their TV just don't last like LG or Sony.
@@KingMoeJo it was samsungs first OLED with the qled tech, ofcourse its gonna have problems.
@@XxNoMercyNL 95C is out, hopefully they corrected those "issues".
Thanks for the input!
I don’t understand your reasoning, because you talk about saving around $200. But a tv you buy once in 5 years, some even 8 years. Those $200 is nothing if you look at the total timeframe. Same for products a a bed where you sleep. It’s not that you buy shoes or something. It’s a thing you use EVERYDAY, the next 3 to 8 years. Get the best!
Depending on the size you chose, the 65inch samsung is 500$+tax more expensive which is not a small amount.
Yeah and especially if you can get an amazing deal on the best TV of 2021 for almost half the price like I did 77 C1 for 2399
That’s my thing with TVs, it’s the form of tech that’s gonna last me probably the longest, longer than whatever version of phone or laptop I’m using. I’ll pay the premium for the best
Absolutely seriously.. the QD-OLED is the way to go is newer Tech. Crying for $200 dollars lol
@@FenixPajarito No Dolby Vision support. The Samsung is in my opinion a complete and total rip off.
I just bought the S95B after seeing them both in the flesh, at the same price. Obviously I couldn’t calibrate it in the shop, but there was something about the LG that I didn’t like. It appears almost cartoony compared to the rich depth of the Samsung. Some people may prefer this look, because some people do prefer Pepsi to Coke.
If you’re considering either of these panels, deffo go see them in person first because they are very different out of the box.
C2 is a monster once calibrated
same as you, I standed in froint of the 2 65 inch TV, I see a huge difference and best colors and dark on samsung
Exactly the opposite lg has real life look
I have LG OLDEC C2, I just love it. The black and dark colors in your screen doesn't look normal, they are greenish so you must have some color issue somewhere in your parameters.
Nope, just take the L. Samsung S95b is just better overal
It's set in Filmmaker mode. Cinema mode would be my preferred picture setting although the Standard mode would be much closer to the Samsung. In reality it's whether you prefer the extra brightness of the 95B or contrast of the C2.
I bought the LG OLED C2 77" last week and it's absolutely amazing, and my sons, who are big time gamers, are loving it.
This side by side review format is great. Its often hard to picture what someone means when they say "X is brighter than Y" and whether I could notice the difference or express a preference. I hope you will do more in his format, and possibly add in some pc gaming time as well.
Most reviews I’ve seen of the C2 tell that it really needs to be calibrated or at the very least adjusted a lot. Straight out of the box it’s way off ideal. Once calibrated it becomes a totally different beast.
people who really cares about color accuracy always gonna calibrate their tvs, no matter what tv they get, im the same
Yeah. My LG C2 best TV ever. I just needed to set it all. I found it weird that all Settignd were set to low (this is obviously for for all the energy saving, because you need to turn this off to alter most things. I then put the brightness way up. All setting a picture to ultra. Then MY GOD. For me. The LG is the best TV in the marker. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not cheap. £1800 for the 65 inch. But, worth every penny as I was after the best I could get as it was for my Xbox Series X.
Hey guys I can buy the C2 65" and S95B 65" for the same prize. Which one should I pick? I really would love to have the contrast of an OLED, but the TV is going to be placed i the living room so I need the brightness as well.
@@saerdnakaliber472 The S95B picture is the best I've ever seen but the TV is so defective and poorly manufactured that I am now returning it for a C2. It seems like I'm not the only one having these issues with it either.
@@johnwitsch6162 Thats sad, can you tell me what kind of issues and defectes you encountered? I ended up buying the S95B but still have the possibility of returning it.
The reason for the difference in Stranger Things (and possibly other examples) is due to that show being Dolby Vision, and the Samsung S95B not supporting Dolby Vision. When watching it on the Samsung you're getting a standard HDR10 experience instead.
I was wondering about that too, as it seemed like it is the obvious thing here. Is this guy really comparing a dolby vision sense on an hdr10+ TV comparing it with with a dolby vision supported TV!! And claiming his review is unbiased!!
This is exactly what sells me on the C2 over the s95.
I like the Samsung better. My next TV in 2023.
I got the Samsung QN 95B Series 9 2022, and in fact I returned it.
In six months of use it was deemed irreparable.
Perfectible colors, except with NETFLIX, and again. Tizen the operating system crashes, or the tv does not turn on (unless you remove the power plug ten times...). Also pitiful service, and perfectible product that smells there can be close. I regret this purchase and I had to fight to win my case (reimbursement) because the TV was declared irreparable by the after-sales service, after 6 interventions on this television. So just run away
I ordered the LG OLEDC2 which arrives at the end of the week Stay tuned
I picked up the Sammy to give it a try. It's incredible. In person it's vibrant and breathtaking. The UI kind of blows, but having a solar/usb C remote is cool.
All new TV's have HORRIBLE UI's now. It sucks. I prefer it to be simple like back in the day. I just got the new LG 65" QNED85 series but I'm so debating on getting the C2....ugh I dunno if I should return it and spend the $400 or not. The QNED is good the price at $1400. Not as good as ur Samsung but it is great.
@Wom Bat It does look good, but if you want the best of LG, the C2 is a beast. If the Samsung doesn't pan out, I'll get that one for sure.
@@mariomario7379 I legit just exchanged it for the C2. I've had it for about 2 hours now. Yeah, it's incredible. I do sort of miss some of the brightness but I think I'm ultimately happy with the C2. The QNED85 was great but I still kept seeing sort of that blooming, the light mixing in with the true blacks. I'm more of an OLED guy I guess.
This Samsung for only $200 more was VERY tempting but I honestly don't think you'd really be able to tell much of a difference. This C2 does actually get pretty bright. I'm very surprised.
@Wom Bat Not a bad choice at all. Welcome to team OLED. May that tv serve you well. Happy watching and gaming.
@@wombat5252 I think LG still has the best UI. My CX really doesnt have much clutter at all
I got a very good deal on my LG C1 55" i paid $800.00 u can't beat that.... great video Sr..!! 💪🏽💪🏽😎
how come? I just got mine c1 48'' for $796. I remember for 55'' one the cheapest price is @
$1050😂
@@tonysun3707 back of a lorry job 😉
noones talking about qualitiy, only the price, lol
Still have to watch the Samsung in real life. What holds me back is the price and from what I heard the build quality. Comparing to a G2 would be more fair. But than again I would wait for black Friday for a deal on the C2 as show here the difference is not big enough. Gaming wise I think the LG is better equipped.
Thanks for the video!
Don’t forget you can calibrate the Samsung with your smartphone using professional mode to get even better optimisation of colours and push the TV to its max potential
@@Onlyy_david th-cam.com/video/rhto9MmiExE/w-d-xo.html
My takeaway: The technology Samsung is using is superior, but the software isn't maxed out yet. LG is using a technically inferior and older technology, but a more mature processor. Ultimately, I believe QD-Oled will come out ahead, but it might be a few generations away. I'm going to stick with LG for this cycle, but I applaud the competition.
Great video!
I went with a 77 inch C1 for 2399 over the 65 inch S95B as that was too small for my living room set up and didn’t want to wait till next year for their 77 inch version. I’m good now for a few years and will buy the 2 or 3rd gen version of that technology. Was already a early adopter of OLED and although great back then, C1 I believe is probably the best version of LGs OLED tech
G2
Got a 65inch C1 for 999

How is it?
@@xWHITExEAGLEx Excellent
@@busterboy7507 wer u got it?
been watching all sorts of these reviews, as I'm in the market for a new TV, now in most UK stores the Samsung S95b is £100 cheaper than the LG C2, this now seems like a no brainer. Even with the risk of adopting early tech, the Samsung seems the better option.
Not for me. I bought the LG OLED C2 77" last week ( November 22) and I absolutely love it.
@@michaelmartin4366 nice mate, I actualy went into a store and looked at these TVs first hand, I actualy preferred the C2 in a side by side comparison, however the qn90b caught my eye untill then it was completely off my radar. Beautiful picture in the store environment, great colours, and £200 cheaper than the other 2, so I bought that instead, should be coming 27th December.
@@supercharger84 How are you liking the qn90b? I'm in the market for a TV in Berlin and same story, the S95B is 150EUR cheaper than the LG C2. But online, the qn90b is even 100 less than the S95B, so thought about your option as well. The thing is I cannot find it in a shop for a real comparison.
@@artturo in the short time I've had it, I'm actualy shocked at the difference between the qn90b and my old 4k, especially when it comes to gaming on my ps5, colour especially is just fantastic, probably a bit over saturated for some right out of the box, but I just find it incredible. We moved our old 4k up into the bedroom, when we watch TV in bed, the picture looks so dull by comparison. I would say at the moment I'm a very happy customer.
Just got the s95b on a very very lucky buy. Open box Excellent - Certified at best buy for 2k + 260 in store credits. I was shocked as I'd never seen an Excellent - Certified condition for this set before, and I'd also never seen it this cheap before either for other open box deals. I had to do it. Black friday deals won't beat that. Could not be happier either. Panel is perfect, no visible damage on the set. And was still on OG firmware. I'm still debating whether to update it but will hold off for now and keep it offline. All I can say is keep an eye on the open box deals at best buy and other retailers. You never know what you'll get!
You can update it to 1204 or 1211 via USB (found the firmware on a av forum)
Wow lucky you
@@djbgier you cant backdate software if it's past those though. ie backdate the tv from 1304 to 1204-11. Its imposiible unfortunately.
@@Takeme_DCUO I know just prefer 1204-11 over OG firmware and mine didn't update to 1302-3 yet
@@djbgier Take the TV offline and use a 4K Firestick. Samsung WILL force the update, if internet is connected
Got the Samsung S95B for almost one month and i simply love it. But i do agree about the Samsung menu interface is horrible, snappy but ugly. It doesnt look as premium as the LG or Sony's menu interface. But the picture quality overall is next level as we can see here. No more that blue filter which i disliked alot about oleds
take some time and edit the whole menu to your liking believe me your going to be fascinated how big of a difference it makes remove all the unwanted stuff and settings from the main ribbon
Are you still satisfied with it? Looking to buy the samsung atm..
@@miovader The S95B TV is still standing strong vs the 2023 tv's as far ive seen on TH-cam. Picture quality is top notch after heavy use of gaming and TH-cam streaming. You will not be disappointed with this one
I agree with you about the bloat on the Samsung.
Also the lack of button on the remote to bring up the (UK) Freeview guide is annoying.
I had to buy an older style Samsung remote to get that to work.
Both are premium quality models and from my opinion both have their strengths and weaknesses but not enough to make either a better tv than the other.
Lacking Dolby Vision is also quite a major factor as well if you’re considering the Samsung. I may have missed it mentioned in the video but no DV. I haven’t gamed on the new Samsungs yet but game mode is fantastic on the LGs as well.
I use to only buy Samsungs but all my Samsung Qleds become so laggy & I resorted to LG when they were the only TVs offering 4 HDMI 2.1 a few years back & Samsungs lack of DV resulted in my last two TVs being LG. I’m very happy with them, the C2 is great for dark room movie watching & the price is right with LGs!
I think there's a very important takeaway from this video. That being, that if you're in the market for a television, then the QDOLED is the one to buy, but if you already own an OLED, there is no reason to replace it with the QDOLED. While there is an obvious difference in brightness between the two, a person would be hard-pressed to notice any difference unless the TVs are sitting side by side.
Looking at your video through my monitor, I much prefer the colors and overall picture of the Samsung. The LG just looks muddy with blue in a lot of the shots. The biggest difference was the Stranger Things scene which I'm on the fence about. Regardless, I'm glad there is finally a competitor to LG. Competition helps the consumer. I think I'm going to buy the Samsung as right now the difference between the two is only 10% in the US. Thanks for the video!
Lg had no competition? sony and lg have dominated the Oled area until now. Also, if you buy from the sony master series, you get the tv already calibrated out of the box, lg or samsung don't offer that, you have to spend hours calibrating, which I find extremely annoying.
@@Thor86- Honestly, spending all that hard earned money (it was hard earned??) on an expensive TV and NOT spending 'a little time' optimising it is just...sad...embarrassing...shocking.
every time im trying to film the tv with my phone i end up with some blue effect on the screen. this blue color effect is only noticable when you taking video with your phone or camera.
@@ChrisM541 i like to think that every individual knows the value of their OWN earned money AND of their own time... so THEY will decide what they have or dont have to do when they buy a TV.
For me is embarassing....sad...and shocking to see someone trying to shame others because of something like this.
@@Zero1k97 not always, i had a notebook with this blue effect and it was quite visible...the thing is, when i had a full colored image its was very hard to notice...it was more noticeable with white or bright images on the screen.
You should not compare 2 TV models without picture calibration. In your test, the image on LG has a green tint, but on a different copy, from a different batch or from a different factory, the image may be factory calibrated completely differently and the green color will not be there.
I'm pretty sure the green tinge is a camera thing not how the tv actually looks
Filmmaker mode on the LG makes the image quality less than optimal when performing comparison tests. It would be nice to to see tests performed with the setting most users will actually use, standard mode. Much brighter and more natural looking picture, imo.
Thats universal in most tvs. Netflix mode film makers mode are all dark dull and lack the pop you would expect. Which is why i always laugh when tv enthusiasts say "thats the way the film makers wanted it to look" to justify a shit picture. End of the day go with what you like. No 4k signal is universal and you will get a different looking picture depending on streaming service.
Why? That's what he used on the s95b lol both in there accurate modes is how it should be tested. You test the modes that track the wotf curve better it's just Samsung can get to a higher peak without clipping that's all lol. The craziest part is Samsung really hurt it with there last update. it hurt the brightness and color.
The standard mode is too contrasted and too bright.
@@rover5058 I mean imo all tvs in standard mode is that way. You shouldn't be watching in standard mode. It's eotf is horrible. As you said overly bright and that's true. It clips out detail and just doesn't look good!
I watch 1080 sky TV on standard and it looks great.
Samsung is a budget tv for a reason. Heard about many panel issues on Reddit. Especially the 65”
I just bought the B2 then ordered the C2 right after for brightness and 4 HDMI 2.1 PORTS! I went with the C2 because it ✅ all the X BOX X settings I’ve always wanted that. While Samsung doesn’t have Dolby Vision so that will be left ❌. As a gamer I would regret that so I’m sticking w the C2 maybe next year something brighter comes w Q Oled by LG, I just can’t do Samsung. Worst buggy software, I’ll upgrade but coming from an Insignia F50 recently! I’m making a great decision. EVO panel + DV for the win! #TeamLGC2
if you want QD OLED panel with DV buy Sony TV ;) A95K
I like the extra brightness that comes with the 95B but often the picture looks paler or washed out. Therefore i prefer the image offered by the C2 with its improved contrast. I suspect more people would prefer the extra brightness. It's difficult to argue with that.
Actually the opposite the Samsung holds more color even while being brighter
@@NexGenTek Didn't notice it in person but credit where it's due, it looks a cut above on the head to head. I'd like to see it compared with the A95K which should offer a much better comparison. Perhaps the G2 should've been selected for this test instead.
@@stephenrhodes3916 Tech with KG has the comparison
If your a gamer the extra brights and, color spectrum that S95B offer is awesome C2 looks great aswell but, S95B pushes little bit more color out of things.
I must admit after seeing it in the store I have to agree with you..I wanted to be wowed by the qd oled but was more drawn to the C2..
I struggle over a month to decide between this 2 TVs, and couldn’t find a good review, until saw yours. It really help to to decide. Thanks
On the Australian release day, I purchased the 55" Samsung oled tv for my bedroom. Being used to watch tv on plasma and lcd, the new Samsung is day & night when it comes to clarity, edge definition, colours and overall wow effect.
The LG is significantly cheaper but I couldn't live with the blue hue. For the amount of money I expected a perfect picture , the Samsung set deliveres in spades.
Just got the Sammy as well. This set should not be slept on.
How about burn-in? Are you afraid of it?
@@ringovaseline6978 Nope, they have tons of features and an automatic panel refresher to keep it nice. You would have to purposefully try to burn it in to have that problem.
In that case Samsung did good job out of box colour accuracy vs LG. LG need a good tweak pretty much so to fix the green and cyan cast. But I like LG due to polariser filter is used so the reflection is a lot less distraction than Samsung. Samsung has not got it so it is very distracting with pinkish on screen when light source is front of tv or windows in front of tv.
What are you talking about. My bedroom window is directly in front of my s95b and there's very little reflection at all.
I dont suffer with reflection issues and i have windows everywhere, no raised blacks either. Weird one you see it.
Pinkish on screen will still be there if you have light on in front of screen or windows. Thats still an issue problem. It lose contrast and looks hazy.
Both TVs are excellent. But I understand that the Samsung S95B has a panel called QD-OLED which is the most top and new of the moment but it is designed to avoid burns for $200 to $500 dollars plus which in the future you will realize that you did not vote your money. According to LG the OLED Evo is designed for better energy consumption but nowhere does it say that it will never get LED burn-in in the future while the QD-OLEDs do mention it to you.
I think the smart thing to do is to save $200 to $500 more and lock in your investment 3 to 5 years from now.
LG C2 ed is midrange oled tv from LG . LG G2 is better for comparasion. G2 is highend OLED
@@animals7473 I respect your opinion but to say that an LG C2evo is a mid-range LG is wrong. Since the existence of Oled TVs, there has never been a mid-range or low-end Oled TV, whatever its model or manufacturer. Since calling an OLED it is already known that it is a Top of the Line
I agree with your assessment. At the 65” size, the Samsung is 30% more expensive in the U.S. That is substantial. On a separate point, are you sure that there is not a problem with your review model of the C2. The green and blue tint that it exhibits seems excessive, at least compared with my C1 (which is not the same TV to be sure, but neither is it terribly different).
I love my 42 inch C2, using the "Native" color gamut setting, colors look awesome. However, I probably would have gone with a QD-OLED if it was available in a 42 inch size, with that said I have no regrets with the C2 and I hope it works for a long time. I got 8 years out of my previous TV, hoping to get as much if not more out of my C2.
Mate you’re forcing wide colour gamut on standard colour gamut, ur basically turning oranges into red.
@@xm3405 Everything looks fine to me, it looks better than the "auto detect" option which makes colors looked washed out. I'm really picky about color reproduction on TVs, I've purchased and returned numerous TVs over the last 8 months because they weren't up to my standards.
@@james_nolan are you ok with brightness of c2?
@@ahmet_10 Absolutely, personally I keep the OLED Brightness level at 50-60. I know OLED TVs look dim next to others, but I think people overreact about it. In my opinion, it's perfectly viewable, and my room isn't really that dim during the day.
@@james_nolan so brightness may be problem for daytime, but i am planning to use it for nights mostly, so it wont be problem i guess
In some cases you can see a huge difference between one to each other due to the HDR standard that are displaying, not for the TV processing, the display technology, calibration and gamma.
One perfect example is the Stranger Things scene 5:57. This scene, on the left, is being displayed in HDR 10 in the Samsung S95B and on the right side for the LG C2 in Dolby Vision. There are two different versions, with one dedicated grading for each of them. In this case, they look far different.
Also, the reason why the LG looks brighter in some scenes is because around 600 nits it doesn't track the SD2084 PQ standard accurately. It's boosts the brightness to look more appealing to consumers.
I thought G2 has peak brightness around 500nits and S95B around 1000nits. Isn't the difference huge?
@@JoonKimDMD wrong. Watch the linus tech review. It’s over 900.
This is about the 3rd or 4th video I’ve watched of yours so far (for reasons I’ll explain) and I not only wanted to thank you for putting such comprehensive and detailed information together but thought I’d throw in a few observations about the colours, brightness and highlights which may be helpful - apologies if others have already covered this (not read the comments yet). Found these videos as I’m currently considering buying the Samsung S95 QD (in Black Friday offers it’s now as low as £1,099). Have yet to watch your settings video, so don’t know what controls are available, but as an experienced photographer who colour calibrates their monitor I’d be interested how you can optimise the picture.
May be your camera settings or impact of TH-cam, but interesting that you described the LG as being ‘more blue’ - whereas to my eyes the LG has a distinct green tint as well as a different, warmer colour balance setting. This tint combined with the warmer CB makes the greens look too strong, leaves neutral colours with a cast, though the Samsung looked as though it could do with lowering the white balance to warm up some scenes where you would expect the sun’s impact to give you colours that were sometimes a bit lacking.
However side by side, the Samsung definitely looks the better out of the box provided some of the overcooked highlight issues can be set correctly.
Our eyes tend to crave as much contrast as we can get, but depending on the dynamic range available, this can be at the expensive of blown highlights and crushed blacks. I doubt the menu options will be as detailed as most photographers are used to, but very interested to see how you calibrate and tweak the settings on the Samsung. Great videos 👍
I feel there is a lot more to compare though. How they mount to the wall, warranty, customer support, navigation of menus, build quality etc. For me I love the look of g2 wall mounted but would love to know how the s95 looks as well.
In the long run once you have a tv at home without having a tv next to it to compare. The picture quality is not much of an issue
majority of people dont care about this. just like majority of people dont calibrate the tv. this review is obviously for the average consumer
Hey guys I can buy the C2 65" and S95B 65" for the same prize. Which one should I pick? I really would love to have the contrast of an OLED, but the TV is going to be placed i the living room so I need the brightness as well.
This is by far the best comparison video i have ever seen in any category. Bless you.
SAMSUNG 95 IS SHIT
Wow I didn't know this wasn't with the pre update. Huge difference before and even after. Amazing tech
Right now the price difference is 100€ in my country.
The only thing holding me back is S95B flimsy built and scare of it coming bent...
And that silver edge. Although that is easily fixed by some diy efforts😅
They are the same price where I live today. The missing Dolby Vision on the Samsung is a deal breaker for me.
Excellent review. I was going to go for Samsung because of the software which was amazing on the QLED, but it seems they made it worse and surprisingly LG seems to have a smoother UI... Sigh.
An LG mini led wont disappoint
love the old samsung os too
The Samsung wasn't in stock at Costco and I wanted the 5 year warrant and concierge service they provide and the 90 day return policy (Also a few other savings) They had the LG C2 65"...Looking forward to the free delivery this Sat.... Replacing a TCL Series 4 so it will be a significant upgrade. Certainly the nicest and most expensive TV I have ever had.
LG C2 WERY GOOD
I’ve had an LG 55EC9300-UA since 2015, and have enjoyed it with no problems at all. I’m ready to upgrade to a larger 4k tv. With reviews like yours here and even those that include Sony’s QD OLED, I just have a hard time moving away from LG given how satisfied I’ve been with my old tv. I don’t think there’s truly a wrong choice out of the three.
Oh my dream Samsung TV! You, my link with the world! You are my friend and you are my brother. No matter what I wear: a dress or a gown, I will always watch interesting videos on you. And when boredom begins, you play many interesting games. Thanks to bloototh, I will connect the speakers to you. This is a microfiber cloth for you
To take care of your purity. I owe you great music and many other things... That's why I thank you! and I write a poem of praise... About my dream Samsung TV! I'm writing this about you!❤
I've had two lg oleds now the cx and the c1 and I have had problems with artifacting on both right out of the box so when the Samsung s95b finally released in canada after doing alot of homework on it finally started going into stores to take a look at it and see if I wanna upgrade while doing that at 2 out of the 3 stores I went to and spoke with the department managers while trying it out they both said since the beginning of the pandemic there quality on the lg oled panels has gone down drastically and there constantly dealing with returns from panel issues and no returns on the Samsung due to technical issues
Helpful video. I'm going to go look at these in person today. Before watching this I was leaning C2, but am now unsure. My Samsung (2 years old) died randomly a couple weeks ago but luckily I still had another month of geek squad warranty. That being said, I'm very hesitant about buying a Samsung after mine got stuck in a boot loop 😬
Similar situation except my current Samsung Q60T has been working fine, I just want to upgrade to a larger OLED and thought for sure I'd settled on the LG C2. I was looking forward to seeing what Dolby Vision was all about...
But I'm just no hearing about this Samsung. I'm starting to feel like the absence of DV wouldn't be such an issue given just how bright yet oled-like the contrast and wider color gamut is. The issue I have with demoing these things in stores is how I can't put on what I want to display. I'd like to put a 4k disc of the same movie on side by side, but on the C2 play it in Dolby Vision while on the Q95B play it in regular HDR.
What have you found since taking a look at them?
Excellent video, I agree that the IOS for the S95B is hot garbage. However, as someone that owned an LG C2 and returned it to get an S95B, I am happier with the S95B and I would not switch back. I will say if you’re someone that IOS functionality is a major part of your TV purchasing decision then go LG C2. In the US I paid an extra $300, I could not agree more that your individual financial situation plays a huge role in whether or not you should purchase either Tv.
what you are seeyinng on the C2 that BLUE light is on ( that is standard in LG when you buy it) if he put it on natural the lg wouldn´t be so blueish
@@bboa7156 oh was wondering why. thx
Just get a apple tv 4k, using the tv ios is not an option
@@BigDavos Yes, but sometimes you want quick access to change picture settings Vivid, normal etc...
Great job. So good to see out of the box presets, not everybody want to calibrate.
I have the opportunity to compare these two TVs and a few more on an almost daily basis. Live Samnusg looks much better than any WOLED TV. Although usually the camera is difficult to reproduce the exact picture, even in this video it can be seen that Samsung has a better picture. I couldn't get used to the many parasitic hues of the WOLED panels, they are pink and the picture is blue.
I was able to compare the QN95B and C2 as well in person and I prefer the picture quality of the QN95B (unfortunately we don't have the S95B here), it has more shades of color than an OLED.
the only good point you made is about the camera not picking everything up as it should but this is the lower budget lg the G2 is on the same lv as the S95B and in most cases most ppl r leaning towards LG then Samsung I like the S95B but it’s over saturated with the colors as r the galaxy line of phones that’s my only issue I prefer realistic natural colors
All WOLED TVs, including the G2, wash out colors at high brightness, thanks to the features of the technology. After 400 nits, only the white pixel starts to glow, because of this the colors start to fade. It is not for nothing that all the reputable publications for TV technology put QDOLED in the first place with a lot of serial lead over all older technologies.
Are both the TVs on same picture settings?
I dont get all the hate about the S95B Settings Menu. I have owned the Sonys and LG's OLEDs and from my point of view the Samsung has some features I like. I just bought the S95B. I would not say is garbage it's just ok.
It's really hard to choose between getting the C2 vs the S95B. To be honest, I really hate the Tizen OS and I prefer a more simplistic OS.
The thing about the sources that I dont think anyone has noticed is that you can get to sources by holding down the settings button! It was a revelation for me!
Great comparison. Will stick with my 77 inch c1. But I am glad more options are coming out. It will be fun to upgrade in a few years.
Wow. 77inch. nice. I'm thinking of 65inch. wish I could go for 77 but it's expensive
As a c2 user for desktop work (42) I honestly couldnt be happier, once everything was tuned that is. Out of the box, the color settings suck and the default energy savings mode that disables half the options is a pain. I wish manufacturers had all of these this off by default letting the end user decide as being honest, the menus/interfaces always suck and sometimes finding important features like the power saver setting (to turn it off) can be a bit of a pain.
Going on 6 months now of heavy use, zero burn in or image retention/ signs thereof. Using the c2 in the center, and a 27" panel on either side for document use
Summary :
- Samsung : Brighter and more detailed, may need to adjust brightness sometimes
- LG : Better contrast and saturation, may need to adjust the warmth.
Great comparison video. Simply a lot of pieces of information, and I love the Samsung more as you do.
Thank you very much for this usefull review,but in my opinion LG C2 is better than Samsung in matter of color palette.For me the most important thing is color fidelity.I watched carefull on your video and Samsung is brighter and LG is better on colors.Also I saw both of them in a local store side by side and LG definitively is better on colors matters.I will wait for black friday for extra discount.
As a person who owns a s95b 65 and a CX and a8h the differences are there, but not as wild as this video may suggest . After you tweak a few things on the lg they are close. But sadly my s95b crashed after 6 months. I would say Wait until next year before making a purchase unless you need something now.
Did u get a replacement or warranty cover?
@@PROGAMER_212 it came with a one year warranty. Due to them not having the parts for the repair i was offered and accepted a full refund. I found a 55 G2 which is a lot better than i expected at my Best Buy for 1150. So win win
I have an old ks8000 samsung tv and its now dead. Should i wait next year or whats the best deal on best gaming tv I can get now for a 65 inch?
So much missing from this comparison feel like more should of been mentioned besides the brightness and colours of the screen. Since they can be close and both great. What about the gaming features of both? Or the response time? The better web browser & remote? Ports? Price ect
i have the c2 and c9 and also the s95b and from my experience, lg is definitely better in every way other then brightness. the quality on the lg is mind blowing while samsung is also very good but not as good as c2 or c9
C2 or s95b for ps4/ps5 games? Which has the prettier picture?
@@simonkan677 i play on a pc and the c2 offers a lot more for gaming but in terms of picture quality and motion, c2 feels a little better and smoother. but the picture quality is pretty good on both unless you have them side by side. c2 is alot superior when it comes to gaming.
@simonkan677 By far S95B. I have both. C2 is great, S95B is on another level, better even than G2.
At the moment, the price of C2 and S95B are the same in my country. And I have no idea what to buy. I would use it for Netflix and gaming. As far as I heard, Samsung has a better picture, but LG has better build quality and software/OS. So I am not sure what to take.
@@_sky_3123 s95b is brighter and if you dont need the gaming features, then samsung could be better, but i still think lg picture quality is better. i havent had any issues with brightness of the lg in a bright room. samsung likes to make the colours unrealistically deep and bright and it sometime take away the details. lg c2 might go on sale soon since they have announced the c3. lg c2 built quality is very nice and solid, atleast on the 42 inch ones
For sure your best video to date.
Keep up your good work and mood.
The "wash out" is not a bad thing imo. the biggest problem with OLED is the contrast can look overly done at times, crushed black is not appeal if you want to look at an image critically, crushed black is eliminating detail
The washed out look is terrible. I own both sets, I much prefer the colors and shadow detail of the LG. The S95B while bright is so washed out in so many scenes and shadows have no depth. The thing is in almost all scenes there is no black crush, LG likes that extra contrasts look and pop. I’d much rather have a image without a washed out look. Though I love both my Samsung and LG if I had to choose one I’d go for the LG.
@@asaneouji15 funny enough I actually got my hands on a g2 last month to compare but returned the g2. I watched them in a room with decent control over the ambident light level using film maker mode. The LG has very obvious black crush in the Northman and the Batman. Samsung is absolutely fantastic with its color brightness, shows significantly better contrast, shadow and color in many scenes, the difference is even more obvious with low contrast enhancer on though I tend to leave it off
Great video ! I think you are the best at the comparations!
After reading extensive independent reviews, including physically seeing both of them at my local currys store, I decided to go for the Samsung S95b. Picture and sound is just amazing.
Sure bot.
Today, 55" price is the same in Sweden. And now its also clear that S95B has burn in, and C2 dosent. So I will get the C2 :) ...I prefer no burn in than a little brighter tv.
Best side by side I have seen!! This is what people don't understand is the s95b is like a sports car with 400hp and the LG has 300hp but with a tune/calibration it makes 550hp. That's the problem with the s95b.. out of the box it's really good because the calibration on the c1 c2 g1 g2 are horrible. I rather a g2 but I have a c1 55 and love it. I'm not sure what is the point of a c2 over g1.
Is your c1 calibrated?
🤦♂️
@@ArtVandelayOfficial I'm telling you the truth nobody needs a tv that bright anyways plus ➕️ I know for fact if your the type to get migraines that TV will increase them. I turned down my c1 brightness last night because the image was to bright plus it was making it clip.
@@ArtVandelayOfficial maybe 85 inches and up need the brightness because you are in big room with a good amount of feet between u & tv
Seriously... great review! Invaluable and easy to grasp. You made my choice much easier. Keep it up!
I go for calibration. Once the lg is calibrated it looks even more stunning. The 4 hdmi 2.1 ports on the lg is better. The gaming options on the lg is way better . This win goes to the lg for me once calibrated. Ratings has calibrations already made and it literally takes just a few short minutes to do. I also lean towards the lg 42 for pc and next gen conse gaming.
With ratings settings, can a professional calibrator get a lot more out from submenus and fancy equipment?
I would really go for the c2 if I were you brightness is not everywhere and found some secbes much nicer on the c2. What I like is that it supports Dolby and that the colors on the C2 come out much nicer. I am happy with my purchase, especially because I am going for a 77 inch.🎉❤
I wish there were a 42" RGB OLED TV with a conventional subpixel layout and a heat-dissipating layer. I feel like eventually we'll get there, but in the meantime we have to contend with lack of size, heatsink and subpixel layout options. :/
S95b, got 3 dead pixels and returned it. Check for dead pixels (using test videos) as soon as you buy an expensive TV.
Thanks for the great review. I would still consider C2 and do the calibration as it should help with the "green tint". Will you be able to compare S95 with the G2 or C2 and G2?
The s95 is not even close to a C1. Why you should compare it with a even better tv
@@BenutzernameXY you mean s95b is inferior to c1?
@@JosephKarthic th-cam.com/video/rhto9MmiExE/w-d-xo.html
@@BenutzernameXY C1 is inferior to both C2 and especially S95B
Just got the s95b. Tbis tv is insane. Actually seei g the difference in person is much different then in video. I do not regret my purchase.
I really love this comparison
Why is everyone ignoring the PINK on Samsung, yet pointing out the BLUE on LG ?
I think the LG has more definition and depth in the details, whereas the Samsung with the extra brightness makes the image appear flat and less defined.
I'm going with the LG
Thank you for the direct comparison.
100% agree with everything you said.
LG C2 has too much green tint. The snow is green, dog is green, you can see it in almost every scene. I wanted to buy it but after this video, I have given up.
This is not true at all look at other youtubers. Looks like he do this on purpose.
One of my colleagues bought C2 and after calibration the green tint dissapeared, right now (as he said to me), white is white. I am still considering C2, but also thinking about G2 or maybe Sony A95k
Is the green tint as bad as that in person or is it the tech. The black and white scenes look so much better on the s95. I've always thought my old plasma had more natural colours than my oled and I think this confirms it
@@pawejaciow411 you're deciding between a 900 dollar tv and a 3000 dollar tv?
@@derekfurst6233 Not anymore, I have bought LG G2 and I am more than happy with that :)
Excellent review. I believe Samsung now has an app where you can self calibrate from your smartphone. Would you possibly take a look and possibly review?
It's interesting how obvious it can be seen, that the LG has (as I expected) a massive color tint. This is common for WOLED-based TVs. One of the main reasons why I wouldn't get one (you can either have good skin tones, or good whites... but not both. The S95B fixes that). The C2 still isn't an option for me... my old plasma performs better than that.
My Samsung f8500 still kills most of these panels
Who in their right minds would choose perfect white over perfect skin tones? I have a Panasonic vt60 plasma myself, and even though the whites (while watching ski sport) could be better, ant in a bright room it gets to dark, the fantastic skin tones makes that minor problems. The faces is what we watch 95% of the time on a tv, so how they look is THE essential thing for me.
The C2 looks very average in person
Lacks detail and has a darkish tint
Also doesn't clean up streaming content well
@@ArtVandelayOfficial LG OLEDS are so overrated, wonder how much LG is paying these tech tubers(not this guy) to shill for them
@@bambus0404 You're right about the skin tones. The skin tones in my 2007 Pioneer Plasma is still better than QLED and OLED. However as good as my Pioneer is the skin tones still look better on my old Cathode tvs when I compared them side by side. Even with their lower resolution on cathodes you can see skin imperfections, wrinkles, scars etc.
Sadly nobody makes or wants cathode tv anymore because consumers value size and sexy design over picture quality.
I really want to get the C2 OLED but 9:44 is exactly the reason I am skeptical. Due to the extra brightness on the Samsung, it has better color volume. For example, if you look at the robot passing by, you can see that it has an orange head on the Samsung but it almost looks black on the C2. Additionally, on the very right of the scene. you can see there is some kind of orange triangle symbol on the Samsung but you can not see that at all on the C2. I really do not want to miss out on details like this when I am playing games, as some details maybe easter eggs and I would completely miss them if I cannot see them. Another thing may just be that your camera did not pick up those details because you are recording the screens directly. So I wonder maybe those details are just distorted on the camera and if you can see them when directly looking at the screen with your eyes on the C2 OLED.
With the Samsung pushing the brightness will it ware out the panel quicker
Time will tell, fingers crossed!
No it's new technology QD Oled is more efficient so it will last longer
The one thing that stands out to me in this comparison, and I don't know if it's even fair to mention, based on this compressed TH-cam clip, but it's the apparent motion blur on the Oled. It's really annoying. I don't see this on the Samsung. For example when Jamie foxx moves his head. If that's something to be expected from LG Oled, or Oled in general, than I'm deff not an Oled person.
Samsung S95B vs G2 is a better comparison
Sooooo many channels are comparing s95b and C2 and I have no idea why. The G2 is the obvious competitor not the C2… starting to get a bit annoying tbh lol
The thing that isn’t showcased is I’m getting my g2 next week because of one reason. QD-Oleds are stuck at 65” and my 83” is gonna be a lot cooler in my living room
S95b made c2 look like an lcd tv with blue tint
The one to the left gives more of a 3D feeling, which is nice!
The Samsung uses dynamic tone mapping and edge enhancement even when the settings are turned off
And looks amazing
@@NexGenTek The point is you can turn it on with the C2 also.
There are LOT MORE DETAILED in shades on Samsung! I think it worth the extra $300! Plus better coloring, Especially for gaming!
Great realworld review, I was wondering if the Stranger Things issue was due to Dolby Vision as the Samsung does not support it yet the LG does. Great video but I'm still not sold on OLED until the manufacturer warranty includes any screen burn
Great video as always. Love your commentary and comparisons. I was in the shop today and loved the brightness on the S95B...but found myself perfering the C2. So did my family??
c2 or s95 man?
@@faturafatura3113 Gotta be the 95 but check the abl...ive heard its aggressive
@@faturafatura3113 LG g2
It sounds like the road on stranger things was darker on the Samsung because it doesn’t have Dolby vision. Which is very important. Most new Netflix originals, Apple TV and a lot of Disney content uses dv along with more and more movie releases on 4K bluray and iTunes. I don’t remember hearing you mention the s95b doesn’t have Dolby vision.
Great review. Would be fantastic if you did the same with the G2 .. Big respect to your approach on us general consumers. I guess 99% don’t calibrate their tv’s. I personally got the G2 due to more accurate picture (side by side comparison with the ss) and that the LG is more user friendly. RG
Results will be the same - S95B blows G2 out of the water. LG has issue with overexposure and green glow. Look at the forest scene - S95B is just on another level.
those different colors during the Stranger Things bit are interesting, probably that's DV vs hdr 10 implementation?
Tech with KG compared g2 to s95b and on certain DV content the LG was overly bright. Not in a good way. He shows it actually makes some night scenes unnaturally bright & hazy. It's only some DV content so I wouldn't use that as a buying purchase but s95b on just hdr10 looked cleaner & more natural. I pulled up same scenes on my s95b & got same results.
I had both Samsung far better,I had a problem with every lg Oled tv that after a while it would power off on its own, I knocked off all timers etc but still happening on all lg tvs had the Samsung one for 2 weeks and haven’t had one bit of trouble with it
Samsung looks much less blue but much more red in any occasion.The blue is what I prefer for more close to more accurate colours than been red but we come to the conclusion that either of these is perfect in terms of colour.Unless they have options for every each one of the colours so you can play with..
I actually paid less for the S95B than I would have to for the C2. I have the 1211 firmware and games look amazing. I am never going to connect this TV to the Internet, I don't trust Samsung that they won't force update the firmware.
It is a possibility that it will shorten the lifespan w/no heatsink and such constant brightness. Im sure it looks incredible but w/OLED that may come w/a cost
Wow nice score
@@JtotheM warranty helps
just watched a QD OLED in a store with lights around, the black did not seem as dark as other OLED : it seems there a layer which diffuses external light or something... this test doesn't show any problem in the QDOLED black (test in full dark I guess)
3:39 The white dog looks green on the LG. What's up with that?
