Well the BB employees are wrong. S89C has a qd oled panel while c3 has a wrgb panel. Qd oled is much brighter and has more color volume
Got cold feet last time, jumped in now! Lets see what this OLED mumbo jumbo is all about!
if i had both for the price you got the amazon deal... id keep the C3. can't believe i missed that one

Quote from Crabs :
Yea that is not how AI upscaling works. What color to make a pixel is not being decided locally on your hardware. It is being decided on a server farm processing millions of images.Then after figuring out the best formula for upscaling, it transfers it to your local hardware to process, which requires minimal effort to run.

It doesn't matter if your hardware is more powerful than a shield. What matters is that your hardware hasn't been processing millions of images for years trying to figure out the best way to upscale images.

This is inaccurate--- advanced processing similar to, or better than, the shield is available on PC via things like MadVR. Which I use.

And Shields "AI" isn't doing what you think it is either-

Quote :
there is nothing "AI" about the Nvidia's so called AI upscaling on the Shield. It's not DLSS but they indirectly marketed as so just to trick people to believe that their upscaling is done by AI learning. It has nothing of that. The underlying algorithm is still Lanczos + a ton of edge enhancement determined by Low, Medium or High

https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAn..._so_great/

Quote :
there's nothing "AI" about it lol. It's borderline fake advertising.

It's basically a scaler that's based on Lanczos with no anti ringing filter, an extra layer of edge enhancement and sharpening. That's all the Shield's "AI" upscaling does.


Quote from xtp :
Are you using the right tone curve to watch buffy nightshade ?

If you look at that youtube link from your first response about Buffy dvd vs Bluray comparison, that guy's Captured image is rendering a 2.4 pure gamma curve as is typical of modern tvs.

The (many many) problems with the remaster go far beyond color. Watch the video I posted earlier. This is why most still watch the DVDs instead that aren't butchered up like the remaster was.

Quote from dakidbanks :
Which mount at Costco is similar?
Any? Wall mounts ain't rocket science. I think I originally has a sanus wall mount, then I replaced it for a kanto form costco because the sanus didn't fit the tv I bought and the konto was on slickdeals.

If anything the kanto was better than the sanus, because it was easier to move around. Costco is a reputable company, so any mount they sell is probably of decent quality. As long as your mount is rated for 75 lbs you are fine, feel free to overspec it if you are worried. But reputable manufacturers probably overspec their equipment anyway, and costco ain't gonna let you sell stuff through their storefront if you aren't reputable.

Life Hack: just move your couch closer, it is the same as having a bigger screen.

But seriously, I would suggest trying to move your couch closer before wasting money on a bigger screen. If it is not Feng shui enough, then obviously you gotta do what you gotta do.
I appreciate the advice but it isn't practical in my situation. I already pulled the trigger anyway.

I don't care. Nobody cares about upscaling because it is pretty useless, that is just what I have heard.

I understand, I have an s89c myself. Just seemed like you were hesitant and I didn't want you to regret your purchase. Enjoy your new TV!

Quote from officeshopper :
I went to Best Buy & tried looking at both TVs side-by-side to compare (as another SDer commented on a different thread said they did). BBY, had the TVs about 20ft apart and each had their Manufactures picture on them - so the TVs never had the same thing at once on it to compare.

Of course they both looked good, the LG seemed a touch not as bright but the LG feed seemed dimmer overall (which I have no idea why-eye roll).

Anyhow, 3 BBY employees all said that they would get the C3 over the Samsung and that both had the same panels & only difference is the processing of course. Asked about apple tv or NVIDIA & they said, yeah but if your content is still only 1080, that's all you'll get; as in if you don't pay for the higher 4K etc from Netflix then the LG C3 would do better upscale.. Again, I don't have a dog in this fight - just commenting b/c I'm wrestling on which one to get. I saw the LG price on Monday & should've just got that one. ps, I've read countless SD threads..
LMFAO - "Anyhow, 3 BBY employees all said that they would get the C3 over the Samsung". You believe these teen aged HS BB employees?

If this was at Amazon again I'd bite.

Or if Amazon had the C3 for the same price.

I have to get the best possible deal or I'll sour grapes myself out of a new tv, no problem.

+1 to this question. I still have time to cancel the Amazon order and grab this S89C. Brighter QD-OLED panel is enticing, but C3 is slightly cheaper ($1725, or $1640 with Prime card cash back).
Don't think you will go wrong with C3 for that price!
Would Amazon open up those cancelled C3 orders for others to buy?

Snagged two of these for the house and after a few days of use, I've gotta say -- very happy with them. They stand up to direct light very well and don't have anywhere near the glare of most other options in this price category.

What kind of calibration are you guys using?

I followed l337fool's instructions and pretty happy with it however certain HDR content is so dark. For example Ozark on Netflix or TLOU2 on PS5 is so dark that I had to turn on constract enhancer to low to make it watchable. All energy saving settings are off.

Anyone else experiencing this?

This always gets blown out of proportion, they are VERY comparable even rtings points this out.
https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/c...shold=0.10

Having compared both calibrated side by side you can't go wrong with either.
At this close price point DV is just a plus.

This whole how HDR is "implemented" is kinda silly, there's a lot of implementation that happens way before we ever view it.

The irony, here, how people believe how technically Samsung technology is better, as is dynamic HDR is to static HDR.
Yet that implementation with these displays gets overlooked.
LG/Sony have the edge on how content is "implemented" imo.

Great feedback! Thank you kind sir!

Samsung - QD Oled is brighter and more vibrant colors vs the LG Oled.

You lose Dolby vision with Samsung but it's not a big deal and hardly noticeable. HDR10 looks better to me than Dolby vision anyways.

The software of lg is a little nicer but tizen works fine and you can always hook up an Apple TV for software.

I currently have the s89c and it's amazing.

I'm a separate note I also ordered the 100 inch U8k Hisense mini led.

The Samsung has slightly better contrast and more accurate colors.

But the 100 inch Hisense screen and its immersion is absolutely worth keeping. The Hisense is brighter too. Never thought I'd buy and keep a Hisense TV.

If it wasn't for the 100inch screen I definitely keep the Samsung s89c and be very happy.
