      S95c just pops!

      @trollsRtrixso does a95l. With superior processing

    • NexGenTek

      October 10, 2023 at 3:31 pm

      @AlanSuperior 720p maybe but Samsung can achieve 2000nits with a simple mod the A95L can’t

    Don’t buy Samsung they don’t do Dolby Vision

    Imo in practice its about whether you want a stand or wall mount :D. You really won’t notice a difference when it’s in your home alone. Although samsung has worse software, lg is moving into more and more ads in the coming years, so, you know, pick your poison. Or pay up for sony 🙂

    The Samsung S90C is the sweet spot, imo.

    I had a Samsung and I will get a new one tomorrow because it has a lot of features..Do you know that

      You need someone with the right strategies and expertise to do the work for you, I recommend Ms Julia Marie Cohenbrach expertise.

      I have been able to amass about 2BTC in just few weeks of trading. Her expertise and knowledge of the Bitcoin market are unparalleled and I feel incredibly lucky to have found MS Julie Marie Cohenbrach

      Ever since she started managing my account.
      Profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment after 14days of trading with Ms Julia Marie Cohenbrach .

    • Upendra Dallakyan

      October 10, 2023 at 9:18 am

      Most people do not know that trading is the best step to growing more income.
      I realized this after I came across Julia Marie Cohenbrach.

    LG should give you the choose to wall mount or use a proper stand better on the G3 still give the new tech in the C series

    • Katheryn

      October 10, 2023 at 11:51 am

      In Australia the LG G3 comes with both the wall mount and the stand included for all sizes, from every retailer at no extra cost. I really don’t know why it’s not the same everywhere else.

    • Neil Taylor

      October 10, 2023 at 12:00 pm

      @Katheryn apparently the stand is not very good

    • Katheryn

      October 10, 2023 at 12:12 pm

      @Neil Taylor I’ve heard yes the stand can wobble a bit but only when moving the tv, if you leave it alone the stands perfectly fine.

    The lies this man tells SAMSUNG BLOWS that LG out the water I have that TV and tested my ps5 on both

      Right at this point is lg paying them

    C3 is the best for the money. Ive had nothing but good luck with all things LG. I don’t trust Samsung quality.

    Well the latest VE Shootout had the A95L in first place, the G3 in second and the S95C last. So this comparison lines up with that. HDTVTest, AVForms, RTINGS, WHAT-HIFI, FlatpanelsHD and now CNET have all said the G3 is better than the S95C too.

    • Sonola777

      October 10, 2023 at 10:42 am

      @Sic Semper Beats Exactly! Whilst the A95L is a great TV; the shootout score gap between it, the G3 and S95C is so minimal that there is simply no way it justifies the price premium Sony is charging. For example in the U.K. the G3 and S95C are priced at £4,000 and the A95L is at £6,000. There is NO WAY the A95L is £2,000 worth of performance better than the G3 and S95C.

    • NexGenTek

      October 10, 2023 at 3:29 pm

      @Sonola777It’s not worth the difference especially in other places than the United States! Do the Mod for the S95C and get 2000nits in filmmaker and 300 nits full field and it blows the G3 and A95L away it now becomes the brightest and most colorful oled to date!

    • Firocity

      October 10, 2023 at 9:18 pm

      @NexGenTekWhich mod?

    • NexGenTek

      October 10, 2023 at 9:27 pm

      @Firocity The Ana Peak mod to achieve 2000 nits! I have footage of what it would look like on my channel

    I’m purchasing a 77″ A95L. Wish it came in 83″ but with Sony prices I wouldn’t want to drop $6.5K on a TV lol

    • Alan

      October 10, 2023 at 1:19 pm

      Congrats. That’s the king of all TVs

    • Blake

      October 10, 2023 at 6:00 pm

      @Alan Thanks, currently coming from no TV at all so I think I’m in for an awakening!

    In Australia the LG G3 comes with both the wall mount and the LG stand included at no extra cost, from all retailers. I’m shocked it’s not like that everywhere else.

    October 10, 2023 at 12:20 pm

    LG G3 the best ????

    LG G3 is AMAZING, LG are the masters of OLED TVs, they have been doing this for 10 years.

  23. W

    October 10, 2023 at 2:05 pm

    That was the dumbest, most uselessly inconclusive comparison I’ve ever seen. Really CNET? “G3 wins in the best picture category because it has the best picture”

  24. NexGenTek

    October 10, 2023 at 3:36 pm

    Don’t let this man lie to you the S95C blows the G3 away! Lost all faith in CNET! I had both it doesn’t even compare!
