Better than the LG C4

I was hesitant between an LG C4 OLED tv, which was the one i saw the most reviews on and a Sony Bravia a90k, which a friend of mine recommended to me and heavily vouched for. I took a good look at both in person and couldnt decide, until i saw the LG C4 was on sale. I purchased the LG and i was somewhat dissapointed as the colors looked washed out and the UI wasnt the best. it felt like using a nintendo wii as its the fastest way to navigate through their okayish UI. I returned it and saw they had a Samsung S90D in stock for the exact same price and decided to pull the trigger and its a night and day differenct. This is directly quoted from RTINGS website when comparing the C4 and the S90D ..... "The Samsung gets brighter in HDR, so bright highlights stand out more on it, and it maintains its HDR brightness better while in 'Game Mode.' The Samsung TV also has a wider color gamut, better color volume, and better HDR gradient handling, so colors in HDR are more vibrant, lifelike, brighter, and have less banding. The Samsung has a wider viewing angle, and the image doesn't have a green tint that worsens as you move off-center, so it's the better choice for watching TV in a group setting. However, the LG supports Dolby Vision and DTS audio formats, so it's the better option for those looking to get the most out of their physical media.".... Almost everything about the Samsung i prefer except the motion clarity. When watching movies or shows on it looks buttery smooth one second, but then choppy for another, but this is my experience on most TV's, but i mainly use it for gaming. On the PS5 and on my pc, games run smooth as it goes to 144hz without needing to overclock. I was hesitant on going for a Samsung because i hardly have seen OLEDs from them but i can safely say the picture quality is better than the LG but the sound quality did seem a tad bit better on the LG but can be improved with an external speaker system. If you value a better picture quality, i recommend the S90D

This OLED TV has got a fantastic picture. The unique solar powered control takes a short time to figure it out but we like it. It could be a 5 star rating but the set up is hard if you are using DirecTV. Also, you need to join Samsung to use Prime. It lost one star because most of the pictures are NOT correct. The unit has little legs and not the center base which is why I bought it. It looks like the dimensions photo.

This is a great little TV. We use it in a 5th wheel at a permanent summer location. Had a QLED TV, but replaced it with this one, because the OLED TV has superior viewing angles. This TV has a great picture from any angle. The only drawback is it has a different version of the Samsung Tizen software that is not as easy to use. It is much easier to change the picture & sound settings on my other 3 Tizen based Samsung's. This one requires a few extra steps to get from point a to point b. However, the picture quality of worth the extra effort. It just makes me wonder what the software engineers were thinking when they changed it. Overall, it's a great TV, even better if you can get it on sale. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great TV and my second Samsung. Picture quality is incredible and the sound quality is great. I especially like the streaming services included. Remote is solar which is a first for me, but I like that you don't have to use batteries. Set-up was extremely easy.

I am using this primarily as a gaming monitor using one of the HDMI ports. I also have a ROKU 4K stick in a second port, and finally use the EARC HDMI port to send audio to my Denon AVRX2800 receiver. Everything works fine and the picture looks amazing in both gaming and ROKU. I down rated one star because the home screen looks a little busy, although it quickly switches to my XBOX when I turn it on. I recommend it, especially if it is still on sale.

My boyfriend and I love this TV. The screen is amazing, you can see depth in all dark colors like our old one. My only wish is that the remote was a bit bigger since we lose it a lot, and possibly a hulu shortcut button as I use that service more than Disney Plus or Amazon Prime which have shortcut buttons. But since those are personal preferences, they don't take away from the 5 star rating.

Ran into the issue where there isnt a large screen, 16:9, 4k, and at least 120hz. The one caveat is that it doesnt do sleep mode like monitors so you have to either turn it off yourself or wait for the tv to do it for you, and then turn it back on each time you want to use it. No regrets considering it checked all the boxes and was under the price of what i was thinking i would have to pay

Love this TV, I use it for gaming with my PS5 and it's a big upgrade from my previous Samsung 65D. Only complaint is it's a bit too bright, but still better than the lg c4. I recommend this TV and would give it 4.5/5 stars. It's 4k and 120hz with very little response time.

I bought this tv because I was starting to have some issues with my older tv and I have been so happy with it. The picture quality is great and the sound even without a soundbar is pretty good. I have a tiny room so maybe that gives me the benefit but im still very happy with this tv. One thing I did note but its not a huge deal for me is that sometimes after clicking a button, it'll take a second before the tv responds wether thats selecting an app or changing the volume. Other then that I would reccomend this tv to anyone looking for a good tv with a decent pricing.

Bought this for my dad for Christmas. Fantastic picture quality, easy to set up. He had some difficulty with the remote, so we ended up ordering one of the universal remotes recommended by Samsung. Overall, very happy with this purchase.

Years of consideration with transient price dips, and disappointmet as they rose again, only to be paralyzed by commitment. All the while OLED tv reviews persistently gleamed and i tortured myself, reddit review by reddit review. Well i did it this year. 42” Samsung OLED for casual/moderate gaming and occasional popcorn night beanbag movie nights. I am SURE an overwhelming quantity of gamers and viewers would concede: this purchase hits home. Not ONCE has buyers remorse set in. I think that speaks for those on the edge as i once was. Short and simple, the tv is dope and the blacks are unreal. Love it. Get it

Love the picture quality. My room only accommodates a 42 inch tv, orherwise we would've gone with a bigger screen. The 100.00 rebate was a plus. Best buy had the best black Friday deals around. Our last tv was a sony, I would definitely purchase a Samsung again hands down!

The Samsung OLED class S90D has a luminosity that gives depth and clarity to the images on the screen. It also has a neat solar-powered remote, with buttons for the main streaming channels. The navigation on the screen is easy, with big icons for most streaming sources. It works equally well with network TV. I had to tweak the image and sound a bit from the settings, and now I am satisfied with both.
This TV looks beautiful even when it is turned off. The screen is thin and gleaming black. I was worried about the rickety legs/stand, but they hold all right.
