Wish I waited, I guess grass is always greener, but Sammy OS is just garbage
New process of producing OLEDs without rare earth minerals.
"The new process, in simplest terms, involves replacing those rare minerals with not-so-rare -- and therefore more affordable --- minerals. Diving into the science, the process involves grinding manganese bromide with benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide. That solution is then dissolved into single MnBz crystals, which are used to create a light-emitting device (the LED part of OLED)."
So likely we see prices continue downward!

Edit: disregard, seen earlier replies. That's absolutely lucky! Congrats!
Retuning such a large TV will be a task but if there's good reason, I'll do it. 😁
BUT I also have a smaller c3 here for my PC setup and it really is an incredible looking display even being a WOLED and in some ways id say better than the QD-OLED.
Yet it doesn't have the punch of the QD-OLED and the brighter the colors get the more washed out they look while the QD-OLED keeps them very good looking even at high brightness.
When the S89 77" QD-OLED was $1799 and the c4 was $2400 it was easy to 100% say the S89 was the way to go but now that I can get a 77" C4 for even less now I'm struggling.... Again!! 🤣
I don't think I would notice how incredible the colors and brightness are on the QD-OLED if I took it off the wall and just swapped it out for the c4.
But seeing them side by side, it really does make it hard to give that up basically for a much better OS and Dolby Vision.
Decisions decisions...
Rtings Summary:
The LG C3 OLED and Samsung S89C OLED are similar TVs occupying the same market position. The Samsung is better for gaming and a slightly better overall TV, while the LG is better for movie fans. The Samsung has a wider color gamut and gets brighter than the LG, especially in HDR; not only that, but it also maintains its HDR brightness better in Game Mode. It also supports 4k @ 144Hz, while the LG is limited to 4k @ 120Hz. However, the LG supports DTS audio formats and Dolby Vision, making it great for Blu-ray fans. It also has better low-quality content smoothing than the Samsung TV, making it better for watching streaming content, especially in low-bitrate situations.
Still you can get great picture from it and definitely dial it in pretty well without needing to go full on calibration so that's nice. I just feel like flexibility to have multiple setups on multiple inputs with different modes for different times of day and such. There's a lot missing there for Samsung That LG has nailed down.
Reality is that once I get things set up the way I like them I pretty much just leave them as is. So again in the early days. It definitely feels bad to not have all that freedom, but a few months from now I won't even really care.
Lack of Dolby vision is probably the biggest thing that I will definitely feel regularly as a lot of the content I watch is in Dolby vision and due to issues I can't explain here. I will have a harder time with some content because of this.
I have a 65" G2, a 48" C3, 65" C9, 55" B6 and now the 77" S90
Either way I'm getting to experience a great display wherever I go in my home.
I think it was worth it to downgrade from the 83-in to save roughly $500 and get that qd OLED punch. But I don't know if I can justify all the work of doing another swap to switch from the s90 77" to the c3 77" to save like 80 bucks and get Dolby vision.
Trying to ship back one giant TV in my life I think is enough for me... at least for now! 😂
C3 has a much better settings menu that allows for a lot more tweaking which I really enjoy having access to. But generally once I set up and are happy, I never touch again.
The biggest difference I see is in the colors and how much they "pop" especially the more you turn up the brightness on the C3 the more washed out the colors get whereas with the Samsung they just stay perfect all the way up to 100% brightness.
I didn't think this would be something I really cared about until I saw them side by side and man it really is a big difference.
I won't lie and say I don't miss Dolby Vision as a lot of the content I watch does come in it, but comparing Dolby Vision running on my C3 and my G2 and HDR content of the same type running on the s90 I honestly think the s90 still looks better again, especially when the colors are at high brightness.
I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Honestly if you use something like a Shield or Roku all the stuff as far as the OS basically means nothing for either one and picture quality unless side by side... Most people are just going to say wow that looks great to both.
But I won't lie. I've set up three people to come look at them side by side and put on something with some really punchy color or high brightness effects and they immediately go... "Oh my God this one this one! This is the better one!" in regards to the Samsung.
I guess it all comes down to what your preferencees are. I used to be someone who chased after 100% accuracy.
Bought the equipment to even calibrate my stuff, but eventually I just realized that I'm not necessarily that fluxed about it. Haven't calibrated any of my last three displays and just kind of eyeball it till I'm happy.
Looking at my picture everyday and just being satisfied is way more important to me than 100% perfect accuracy.
I think either one of them can do that for the majority of people, but people draw lines in the sand based on whatever they buy as someone who buys both and will likely "switch sides" again once I can get an 83-in MLA for a decent price, I really can say I don't think you can go wrong with either.

It's only when I put them side by side. Do people suddenly notice boosted brightness and color intensity of the s89.
If you're not fluxed about operating systems and in-depth settings nor really care about something like Dolby Vision versus HDR and what the differences there are, I think you could be safe going with either display, but if you want the brighter more color impactful picture, the S89 is definitely the way to go.
Really it just comes down to cost. I would go back and forth with either one of these TVs depending upon which one was cheaper. If they're roughly the same cost, it's a toss up.
Decided to go with the C3 since this will be in my basement so don't feel like I NEED the extra brightness and I don't want to miss out on Dolby Vision or be as concerned with having a QC issue and dealing with Samsung customer service which is awful.
I guess to summarize I felt like the C3 is a safe option that I am certain will be amazing while the S89 is less safe while only being a tiny bit more amazing.
I looked at the tracking and it's already arrived to my town, but delivery isn't scheduled until Tuesday. Wondering if maybe I can get it before then.
