LG C4 OLED vs Samsung S90D OLED

In terms of longevity which tv is best in terms of avoiding burn in. Ive heard Samsung has some quality issues and that LG is generally more resistant to burn in but is that worth it vs a slightly better picture if I pan to have it for many years.

Yes, the Shield would help with this, and it’s generally well-regarded as a powerful processor, so you very likely would get better results by watching TV through that instead of the native apps. It’s hard to quantify exactly how impactful this would be, though.

Thanks!

Would nvidia shield tv help with Low-Quality Content Smoothing? If so how much would the impact be? It doesn’t necessarily need to be a precise number on this score. Would it make the s90d on the same level as the c4 on this category? Also would nvidia shield tv make these two tvs upscaling significantly better?

I’m following up on my original question that prompted Adam Babcock’s response to this thread on November 27. Between the C4 and S90D, I went with the latter. I am just a normal guy who doesn’t use instruments or advanced calibration techniques beyond what I read here. I primarily watch Blu-ray UHD HDR content and had a 2022 Sony LED TV. I decided to forgo the Dolby Vision in the C4 because I believed Adam’s assertion that the QD-OLED screen was superior to the WOLED screen. This was further echoed by the sales rep where I bought my TV (he had no incentive to sell me one or the other because they were both priced the same). After three months with the S90D, I have strong conviction that I made the right decision. The movies I watch are so beautiful and detailed, it is difficult to imagine it being much better with Dolby Vision. In this case, I believe Adam’s comment that the quality of the screen outweighs the impact of not having Dolby Vision. Could I be proven wrong? Yes. But the only way to do that is to have the C4 next to my S90D playing the exact same content. Ignorance is bliss I guess. I think it is this reason why you don’t hear people with bad things to say about either the C4 or the S90D – you can’t go wrong if you are primarily watching UHD HDR content on these TVs.

I wonder if we have/had the same Sony LED from 2022 (X90K). Good TV, but I’ve had a couple issues that I am considering putting in a claim for with my Best Buy warranty. If I could get an upgrade out of the deal it would be between the C4 or S90D (I want to go OLED) and I’m leaning towards S90D if incomes down to it v
