And why do you like the Sony over the Samsung? Let me guess...Dolby Vision and better processing (pretty much why everyone else likes the Sony)?
Its because of Sony XR Clear. Sony's Koolaid Vision implementation sucks if you read the online reviews. But again, I'm not here to say don't get or pay for Dolby Vision. To the contrary, the amount of money being paid for this TVs you should get what you like and prefer. So I advise people not to just buy a more expensive TV just because some user said that Dolby Vision needs to be on your TV. Also, don't go for the cheaper TV just because some user said Dolby Vision is useless. Go and check for yourself and enjoy the TV you like for years to come without regrets.
Dolby Vision is overrated in my opinion. Doesn't make those who care for Dolby Vision their opinion invalid. I just watched Dolby Vision side by side to HDR10 (not plus) and I rather have QLED colors and brightness than a Koolaid Vision.
Video processing wise, I will accept that Samsung's sucks big time and LGs is much better though. Only matters though if you are watching low quality lo res content. Motion processing is also better with LG. However, like in almost everything you have to decide and make decision knowing that there is always trade-offs.
Just go to a TV store or a show room and decide for yourself if LG Koolaid Vision matters or not.
Again, is your money, let your eyes decide.
Based on my own liking, 2023's models where something like this: Sony A95L > LG G3 > Sammy S95C/S90C > LG C3. But that is just my liking. There are people that like way more the LG C3.
Yes Samsung vs LG & DV vs HDR10 always gets blown out of proportion on both sides.
Especially when you consider that most haven't even done what you have done, side by side comparison.
Most don't have their displays calibrated either, which gives you the best PQ possible from your display.
Room environment plays a role here also and so on and so on.
Let's not forget this all starts with content.
Even using the best content(disc) DV vs HDR10 the differences will vary widely based on the quality of each of those transfers.
Overall is DV better, yes but often the difference is not night and day and not all content gets it.
If you're using streaming content, it's a moot point.
Both are very good and it does come down to preference.
Like you I compared them side by side after calibration & with all content.
For me I prefer the processing of LG, it's more a natural/true PQ than Samsung.
DV is just an added plus for LG.

Other than the laggy and mediocre OS the TV is amazing. I watched The Boys, and when it switched to filmmaker mode the colors were perfect. The motion smoothing works great with anime. I play PC games on it and don't miss using a monitor.
I don't know about health, but I recall the LG OLEDs are more resistant to burn in than Samsung OLEDs, per the most recent OLED burn in tests conducted by Rtings.
Makes sense because LG has been making them longer.
I'm not sure if this is still the case with the most recent models.
rtings currently says the s90c is the best TV. (though the Sony a95L beats it out for best home theater TV) it has a few minor issues but the biggest drawback is that it doesn't have support for Dolby vision. If you don't need Dolby vision then this may not be important to you.
I just don't understand why anyone would buy an expensive Samsung TV, if you can never watch Dolby Vision content on it.
100% agree! The -12 pts are from people who have no idea what they're talking about! Huge difference between Hdr10 and Hdr10+. Stack those against DV and it still doesn't equate!
