The TV is no longer thermal throttling in busy, high-APL scenes or if you're in a warm environment. Update : In firmware update 1123.0, Samsung has changed the algorithm between the luminance and the temperature sensor. Note that the LG G3 OLED now supports DTS audio formats, so this is something to consider if you listen to many DVDs or Blu-rays, which tend to have their audio tracks encoded in DTS. Both TVs are fantastic for gaming, but the S95C officially supports 4k 144Hz, giving it the edge over the 120Hz G3. Combined with the S95C's wider color gamut, it will be the more vibrant TV in most cases. Also, while the LG G3 is generally brighter out of game mode, the S95C can output much brighter colors overall, so, typical of Samsung panels, its colors will be 'punchier' than the G3's. However, the LG G3's HDR brightness drops quite a bit in Game Mode, while the S95C maintains its brightness well in that mode. The LG G3 is the brighter OLED of the two, can reach a higher peak brightness than the S95C in HDR, and performs better in SDR when bright content takes up a large portion of the screen. They're very close in performance, each having a slight edge over the other in some way, although the S95C might barely have the edge. The LG G3 OLED and the Samsung S95C OLED are two fantastic OLED TVs. ![]() We tested the input lag with BFI enabled, and corrected a mistake in the Inputs Specifications section, as we incorrectly stated that it has a variable analog audio out port. We also ran additional tests to confirm this behavior. The 100% window measurements for all three brightness tests increased noticeably when the TV was tested cold. We retested the SDR and HDR peak brightness while the TV was cool, taking measurements before it got warm enough to cause it to throttle the brightness. We recently discovered that the TV limits the peak brightness when the TV gets warm. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. We retested the SDR Brightness and HDR Brightness with firmware 1123.0, and confirmed that the TV is no longer thermal throttling in high APL scenes or if you're in a warm environment. We rechecked the SDR peak brightness with firmware update 1123, and found that it hasn't changed. We bought and tested the Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED and added a few relevant comparisons below. We've added a mention of the newly-reviewed LG G3 OLED in the SDR Brightness section of this review. We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. We've added a mention of the newly-reviewed Samsung S90C OLED in this review's Compared To Other TVs section. The Inputs Specifications section of the review has been updated with the correct information. We rechecked the maximum bandwidth of the HDMI ports and confirmed that the TV now reports a maximum bandwidth of 40Gbps. Our initial 48Gbps results were incorrect Samsung confirmed that they didn't change this in a firmware update.Ĭorrected the Game HDR setting under HDR Brightness in Game Mode, and added information about the 'Custom' Color Space setting under Color Gamut. We clarified the recent update to the Inputs Specifications section of the review. Finally, we've updated our usage scores to better align our scores with user expectations. With this change, it was necessary to remove the Black Crush test. With this update, we've added a new Upscaling: Sharpness Processing test and revamped our Blooming test so the scores and picture better match the real world experience. ![]()
