Hey everyone! Thanks for all the great comments. Seems like a lot of folks disappointed no MLA in 83-inch. What if I said I don’t think the 83 needs it. Wanna know why? How about why MLA would do nothing at all for QD-OLED, that sound interesting? Sound off and let me know!

Great video guys! We just wanted to pop in to clarify that we haven't received the LG G3 we bought for testing yet, so it's not actually part of our Longevity Test. If there's enough interest though, we would definitely consider adding the G3 to the Longevity Test once we finish testing it and publish our review!

I quite enjoy these VS videos. Nicely done, keep them coming!

Hello Caleb, thank you so much for the incredible amount of knowledge you have shared over time regarding different TV's and why we should or shouldn't by them. I truly appreciate what you do and I think you have one of the coolest jobs in the world! Since becoming a subscriber of your channel I have made a decision that I am going to purchase an LG C2 because of its features that matter to me most and because of budget. Before discovering your channel I had no real data to inform my TV purchases other than brand awareness. Please keep doing what you do and helping the average consumer make very informed purchasing decisions! Like Sy Sims slogan used to say, "an educated consumer is our best customer."

A GREAT & HONEST comparison... I liked that you factored in TINT and COLOR also in the comparison. Thanks for you unbiased analysis...you do an OUTSTANDING job with all of your video.

Since I am planning to upgrade my TV soon I have been watching a lot of videos. I am on a watching spree of your videos and I am amazed really. I have learned so much in a very short time. One of the most deserving subs I ever gave.

Your videos and the questions you ask are always ON POINT! That's why I click !

Fantastic video! You compared all the important points and so glad you referenced the recent burn-in research taking place.

So excited for your Versus reviews!!

Great video Caleb. A comparison of motion handling and processing between QD-OLED and MLA would also be interesting... maybe once all the 2023 models are out!

Great video. Comparison videos are the best way to make informed decisions when buy a TV. Loved it!!!!!

Liking this video, and the one prior. You're quickly becoming a nice addition to Vincent Teoh's excellent reviews.

Thank goodness for the return of versus vids!! Hoping for some lcd versus vids too

For me this is exactly what I am looking for when comparing something - two similar technologies etc... Thanks for this!!!

Could watch your content for days Caleb! you always do an unbiased review which I trust so keep the content coming and i'll keep consuming lol!

This is exactly the type of content I want, Caleb! Hopefully when you review the S95C, you can redo this comparison with that TV. Maybe mention gaming and audio differences as well. This review seemed more tech vs tech rather than TV vs TV. Both are useful comparisons though.

I really like this content. Thank you Caleb

Great comparison Caleb! Keep up the good work!

Great job as always Caleb!

I always like your content my man! Been a subscriber for a couple of years now! Keep going! 💪🏻

An excellent point regarding how we perceive our images. I’ve seen a C2 that, from my perspective, doesn’t seem particularly better than my CX does. I’ve seen the G2 at my local store, but thought the Sony A95K looked far superior to my eyes. Whilst the G3 looks the business, I really want to see the 2023 Samsung and Sony QD-OLEDS before I can definitely say which type is better.

Brilliant content, as always. Through yet accessible.

Great video Caleb, both TVs look amazing, I guess we'll have to consider other features to make a good decision between both of them. Loved the video.!!

First of all, thank you for the great reviews I always watch - Caleb you are great to watch. For AVL, where I have seen the significant difference was playing madden on A LG C9 vs the samsung S95b. With the C9, after playing (and playing the whole time) - the C9 will dim and brighten the picture while within the game. On the Samsung s95b, it never dims while playing. I know the c9 is a few years old, but that is when ABL completely is annoying and way better for our use case.

loved this content, thanks :)

Would love to see a video on your thoughts on OLED's from a few years ago up to this year. Got an A80J last year for fairly cheap, and I'm interested how much of a leap it would be moving up to an A80L or C3

hi digital trens, i like your content and when you testing the new oled from sony the A80l ??? Very great work from you and thank you for all this videos and information over the newest multimedia technolgy :)

Hi DT hope your well ,I'm watching this video comparison as I've just bought an LG G3 ,I'm so excited ,thanks for.helpong me choose , I'm not wall mounting it ,is the stand that bad? Thanks again 👍

With my LG C8 I got constant ABL dimming issues playing Cyberpunk 2077 (menus) as well as games like The Quarry, even in regular play, as it has many not black but very dark scenes that seems to really screw with ABL. Bugged me so much in numerous games I bought the service menu remote to remove it.

Very good and easy to see the diffrence you are talking about exelent

For my particular use case in a bright natural light room, watching a lot of terrestrial SDR content, APL brightness and blacks are high on my priority list, which points me towards one of these TVs in particular. Thanks for the review & comparison.

Nice review keep up the good work

great video. will you do a video on how much better the G3 is to G2? is it worth upgrading?

Bless you man. Dig it

My setup is LG C2 60’ paired with Samsung Q930b soundbar and must say its my best setup i ever had. Would be awesome if u could do more reviews on sounbars

I have an lg c9 65 at the moment. Is it worth the money and the upgrade to go for an lg g3 because i want a new tv this year or should i wait ?

Greetings, Caleb. Can you confirm if the QD-OLED 2023 versions carry Deuterium?

Love your videos ❤

I bought the s95b 65” last year and I love it and I play games and so far no burn in

I would love to see a video on home cinema speaker setup value/mid/premium recommendations for the flagship TVs of the year, ie. LG G3 & Sony A95L. Especially given both of these act as a centre channel in the right set ups. Personally I’m considering the G3 and interested in value/mid recommendations for a setup that works well with this TV, taking advantage of using the TV as a centre channel.

Nice review. Still waiting for the new plasmas to come out.

I like the way you do your videos man. Also thank you for not telling us to like and subscribe, that is so refreshing.

Moving into my first home soon. I don't know if I should wait for the G3 at its launch price, or get the c2/g2 at about 40% discount. Would love to know the MLA is worth the price and wait over the c2/G2.

Great job, nuanced and fair

The G3 handles well against the S95C. Surprisingly so. All round the G3 came out throwing blows. Sony is now the dark horse. If they continue to focus on image accuracy rather than brightness then this year it will be pricing wars. All these tvs are amazing. Saw last year’s A95K and S95B at Best Buy also G2 and they are all close in my opinion. Granted can’t study them like you can Caleb but the differences between each as you pointed out isn’t night and day. I’m not a gamer at all but I’m leaning towards the 77” G3. Overall it has the goods.

Which upscaling engine is better? 1080p content upscaled to 4k

This dude knows what he's doing.. His reviews are truly spectacular.. Like thinking out of the box and compare 2022 Qdoleds and show us the improvement.. Good job

When do the 2023 QD models release? Can't wait for that content!!

Another great video, will wait for the Sony A95L comparison

I purchased the Sony QD Oled A95K but ended up sending it back and kept my LG C9 Oled. The reason was due to the raised grey when my blinds were up and that time of day when sunlight hit it. That’s not the case with LG Oled and it surprised me with such an expensive TV. My take is until QD Oled solves that issue it’s a no go.

Love the vs!

Is there any difference between black levels for QD-OLED and LG's OLED? Does one do ultra-low-light scenes better than the other?

Great video! I’m trying to make this choice right now. I want the Sony qd OLED but damn are they pricey.

We both TVs in their optimial HDR setting? S95B using HDR10+ and LG using DV. Or were both running standered HDR10?

thank u for doing vs videos

Wow you weren't kidding about the vs videos, this was way faster than I expected! Hoping once Sony gets off their rumps and releases their 2023 lineups you'll do a comparison between the X90L and the previous X90K as well as up against another brand's high end FALD (not mini LED) model. Sony seems very proud of their X90L this year and I'd like to see just how improved it really is

Love it, thank you

How would you compare the G3 to last year's G2?

great information

Please Rewiev A80L vs A90J. Is A80L brighter or A90J. Thanks!

Any plans to review the LG Z2 or Z3? Apparently the Z2 was the 2022 Shootout winner, but finding quality reviews on it is difficult. Trying to see how it stacks up to the Samsung Q900C.

For auto dim testing use the dark episodes from game of thrones. It was so dark that you couldn't tell what was on screen and the OLED made it even darker when it auto dimmed. Made me break down and buy the service remote to fix it. Hasn't been an issue since I turned it off

Great video. The s95b is so much cheaper here this has convinced me to get it. I'll be replacing am ancient Panasonic gt30 so I'm sure I'll be blown away!

Excellent stuff

Late to the part here - I have a question though - I do not have a standalone 4k Blu-ray player. I’ve just been using my ps5. Worth bothering to use the Spears & Munsil disc at this point? Or wait until I have a dedicated 4k player that has DV, HDR10+ etc available? I have a C2 - I’d like to calibrate it but I don’t wanna pay $300+ to have someone come out. I figured the disc would be close enough but maybe it doesn’t matter if I don’t have the right player to achieve the look and accuracy I’d truly like. I still love this TV mind you…

Thank you!

Can’t wait until you are able to compare the G3 to Samsungs 2023 models. I’ve noticed in the UK spec TVs Samsung has removed the Freesat tuners in their new 2023 models I suspect it’s a cost saving exercise but I do wonder what else is now no longer included.

Is Samsung going to add in dolby vision in the future? I notice a big benefit using that on the series x and my cheap vizio m558

An idea caleb, would like to see a flagship Samsung TV and Q990C soundbar vs LG's offering. Q Symphony vs WOW Orchestra

Got my g3 65” arriving tomorrow…. Fingers crossed I’ve ordered wisely 😂

for the 95"+ crowd as these prices on qd-leds drop its hard to justify a projector, I'm curious to see how the new 90xl stands against this also. why don't they make the a95l bigger maybe next year?

I believe MLA technology was previously used in 8K Z-series TVs. Maybe they rushed with implementation of MLA for mainstream TVs like G-series but it was not completely new stuff for LG.

Great video! Really valuable insight in this video, and I loved the approach you took. These two TV’s have polarized the AV space, and its fighting and bickering all day, everyday lol. I find it quite amusing tho, as someone who know how little difference there actually is in real world content….yet how BIG of a difference certain sides will claim. Good ole fanboyism at play… So….can we ever get ASBL and ABL nomenclature right one day please lol?!? You called ASBL ABL in this video. Again…. I believe I was the one who sent you the specific examples of what causes ASBL dimming on LG OLED’s, way back in the day, when I was fighting it on a CX. It particularly happens in near dark, low stimulus scenes that have a constant APL, with little to no change, in HDR and DoVi. Not SDR. I can provide you with a list of films/shows, and time stamps of movies which does cause this ASBL dimming (in the past at least). LG addressed this on the 3 series tho, when they removed the TPC option. Now what people are experiencing on the G3/C3 is the GSR dimming, which slowly dims static elements. TPC dims even moving objects, and was the root cause of the low light scenes dimming in the past. It’s why both TPC and GSR are disabled on my C2. Btw, it’s kinda funny that the LG OLEDs are the TV’s that get more “poppy and vivid” (when using the modes like Cinema Home) LG’s really trying to reel in the Samsung fans lol. And I can’t lie…sometimes I do prefer that overbrightened image, and I do find the brighter modes on LG’s to make HDR a lot easier to watch in bright rooms. (Not intended) I mean…measure DoVi CH….that shit overtracks like 🦆…. But it’s definitely useful in certain scenarios. It will borderline blind you in a dark room too lol. As far as having good low luminance color, where you said something to the effect it doesn’t matter…well there sir. I think even you have forgotten that HDR isn’t only about brightness, but maintaining better detail in near black/dark scenes, which include low luminance colors. I know everyone only cares about high luminance, high purity colors these days…but low level shouldn’t be ignored imo, as it is part of what makes HDR….HDR.

Thanks for sharing

Love my s95b, but the ABL really kicked in frequently when I was watching The Whale. Had to bring up the settings menu several times throughout the movie

When can we expect a review of the Samsung QN95C?

I'd love to see VS videos in HDR, this feels a bit like when I used to see QVC selling HD TVs on an SD channel. Obviously it still won't be perfect and it depends on the end users screen but I assume it would better convey what is seen in person.

Are you going to do the C3 Oled next?

I can't wait to see the comparisons between the G3 and the newer QD-OLEDs. HDTV Test just did a video on this. It is clear you can't really go wrong with the QD-OLEDs or the LG G3. I'm curious, will there be a separate review of the LG G3 83" since it doesn't have MLA?

I currently have the Sony X85J and Sony X85K because they are flicker free. I need flicker free because of eye strain/headaches. I would love to upgrade to the Samsung S95B/C or Sony A95K or LG G3 or Samsung QN95C. Are any of these new 2022/2023 models flicker free?

Good job Caleb and team. Over all, I am not a fan of unboxing…. So I like the revised format. Fwiw, other people do such videos and you guys do not add a particular added value. I think your strong suit is the actual product review. just my opinion since you asked ❤

What stand is that for the G3?

This is good 👍👌 good job

The best tech KZfaq channel around. No BS. No clickbait thumbnails. Just great content.

I had pretty bad ABL dimming happen on my LG C1 while watching The Batman (2022) and Dune (2021). I move the magic remote around to get the cursor to come up and the TV snaps out of it and brightens up.

Here in The Netherlands the price of the Sony a95k 55" and the LG g3 55" are the same, what is the best option than?

Keep it coming!!! My next tv will be a G3….

Hard fight both TVs are so close it's like identical twins, but it's a tough decision made easy (for me anyway). Without a second thought in an instant I would go with the LG period. Easy decision that's based on LGs features, reliability and track record for pushing out updates, even to this day they are still pushing out updates to some of their older but still good models. No contest here!

A great video to do would be a comparison between older tv (I have a 65c8 that I am upgrading to the g3) as people could see what they would now be getting over tech that is 3,4 or 5 years old. Quite a few of us I reckon 👍 Keep up the awesome work, love your reports. Cheers 🍻

Can you compare the LG C2 to the LG G3?? I can’t make up my mind in which to buy. I want the 77 inch.

I, for one, clap at Caleb’s excellent review. 👏👏👏

Good points, thanks. When looking for a 83" OLED Samsung offers me nothing, what are my options for 83"+ OLED?

What about folks with older sets? If you have a C9 now what could you expect to see from a G3?

Amazing Comparison 👍👍👍

Now that LG & Samsung’s 77 inch MLA & QD sets hit the market this year and once Sony’s qd is available, I’ll be a buyer…but not until prices drop. Anxious but patient enough to wait until black Friday if need be. By the way, two questions: Why does Sony wait so long to release their 2023 sets and what’s the difference if any, (other than size obviously) between is LG’s 77 & 83 G3’s?

My LG C8 ABL usually hits if watching a KZfaq podcast video with the picture of the two speakers that don't move from their boxes. Kevin Smith's Fatman Beyond episodes is one example the ABL hits pretty hard on those until I bring up the KZfaq details of the video.

I have the s95b with warranty and can say if I keep getting green or red screen overlays that make me do a manual pixel refresh to correct, it will probably be going back at some point for an lg. I've had it happen about 4 times in a 4 month old tv. When that is not going on the tv is excellent in every way.

So where was the G3 - A95K comparison?? Didn’t you say that was going to be included at the beginning of the video?

Please how does the c1 compete with the TCl R655?

To me at this point we have to ask which is most colour accurate though perhaps you don't care so much about colour accuracy and are happy to see a more vivid image. Aside from this, I would be looking at the practical aspects such as how well it performs for PC gaming, how many HDMI (Arc) connections does it have and how accessible are they? Does it have USB C? If so, are they powered and what charge? Are they easily accessible from the side of the tv? How nice is the operating system? What about the remote, is it illuminated? Whats the speaker sound quality like, can we connect a powered subwoofer. Lots of considerations outside of perceived image quality and price is always a factor. If the Samsung is $1,500 cheaper you could afford to add an SVS powered subwoofer...So many questions.
