The G3 is LG's flagship thus the higher price. Is meant to compete with the Sony A95L and Samsung S95C. If price wasn't a factor in my opinion Sony A95L is better than the LG G3, and in last place is the S95C.
The S90C and S89C are cheaper versions of the S95C with the main difference being the wireless input box that no one really cares about, a little brighter image, and a slight better color calibration out of the box, and maybe better audio. However reviews have shown that image quality between the S90C and S89C is negligible. I saw them side by side and I really can't tell the difference. So the S90C has become the better buy.
The G3 price in the other hand is way higher because of the reputation LG has built in the past few years in the OLED TV market, making the demand for it high in that market. Not to mention that LG has to pay Dolby fees for the Dolby Vision and Sound features included. Samsung doesn't includes Dolby with their TV so they can lower the price. The OS Tizen, although is a piece of crap costs less to use for Samsung's TV division mainly because it is used in way more devices than LG's WebOS. Samsung is the number 1TV maker in the market and has had better manufacturing yields than LG. LG is known that has had some problems utilizing their plants at 100% thus increases the costs.
In summary G3 costs more because it is a higher tier TV for LG, with better image processor, Dolby, better reputation, and a brightness good enough thanks to MLA. The S90C is cheaper because it doesn't have Dolby, is Samsung's mid tier TV, Sammy has lower reputation to LG in the OLED market, and I think mainly because Samsung decided that their strategy in the OLED market was to compete in the more affordable tiers.
If you have the money to burn go with the G3 or the Sony A95L for sure. I wish I had that kind of money, would have gotten a Sony long time ago. But for less than $2k this Samsung TV is the undefeated best value.
