Here is what I found about the S90C:
In general, Samsung TVs can operate safely within a temperature range of 50 °F to 104 °F (10 °C to 40 °C).
Extreme temperatures can damage electronic components and affect the TV's performance. The recommended temperature range for storing a TV is between 50°F (10°C) and 95°F (35°C).

Someone pointed out on this thread that these QDOLED panels are more burn-in suseptible than WOLEDs. I did some searching and LG mentions that it uses the white subpixel to reduce burn-in. The theory is since QDOLED panels need to turn on all 3 sub pixels for creating the white colors it tends to wear down faster that WOLED that needs just one pixel and less power for whites.
I think it is a mix of that and LG being longer in the OLED Panel business than Samsung they might a better secret sauce software for reducing burn-in.
2nd Gen QDPanels supposedly are better at reducing burning, but still given this is fairly new tech and from Samsung getting that Best Buy extended warranty that includes burn-in sure sounds like a great idea. It will give you peace of mind. I bought it from Samsung.com sadly, they don't include burn-in I think.
Edit*
If your s90c pricing comes from EPP + stacking codes, you can also apply them to the s90c 77'' making it cheaper than 1950.
I think my main worry is samsung not really putting effort into supporting it b/c it's not their panel? Tvs seems to last a longtime though these days. I'm upgrading from a 10 year old 1080p 55" vizio lol. So, I'm guessing this is going to be pretty drastic.
I bought both the G3 and the 89, and have been measuring both with a color probe for a month.
The LG has poor panel uniformity due to its production method. They use vapor deposition, which means there's alot of over-spray of the material, that's why you get this bad dirty screen effect on uniform textures like sports grass. This is not a deal breaker unless you really hate this look. Samsung is really really clean, only very feint vertical lines, but no hazing at all pervasive on the LG.
The LG colors are significantly less saturated than the samsung, especially when you set a high brightness for day time use. This makes the memory colors (grass/school bus) look more natural out of the box. You can achieve the same look on the samsung, but it takes tweaking. Out of the box, the samsung gives you a bit of that orange skin vibe. Buses look a bit like radioactive twinkies, the grass pushes on sun-yellow.
The LG software is also much more refined and easy to deal with, everything just works as you'd expect. Samsung is, well, it's samsung, they roll with, good enough.
For me personally. I decided to keep the samsung, because I can get the performance I want using a colorimeter for calibration. For everyone else, I think they have to decide on, Do you care about dirty screen effect (avoid LG), Do you want the widest possible pop looking colors (get Samsung), or an understated but still good/ more natural color (LG).
For example, anime looks really bad on the LG if it's set to high brightness, everything is horribly washed out. On the samsung, if you don't reign it in, it's basically rainbow barf, some scenes look neon laser. This is not a good vs bad assessment, it's a taste issue.
If you are a colorimeter owning hobbyist like myself. Then you already know, Samsung all the way.
Any advice?

Samsung entered a in a war against Hisense and TCL, mainly because of them "stealing" tech from Samsung. Sammy started a legal battle with Hisense and pulled back production from china. Their thought was we are not going to keep funding the competitors that are not playing fair. Because of that Samsung reached an agreement with LG to buy WOLED Panels and share manufacturing plants. LG won't share Mets 2 WOLED panels though (G4). All that said just to say that Samsung will be supporting WOLED TVs for sure.
It might also help drive prices down for budget oled TVs.
