    Hi there,

    I got a PS5 recently and I'm now seriously considering upgrading from my current LED (Phillips Ambilight) to an OLED.

    At first I was set on ordering the LG OLED55C34LA (when it came packaged with the USE6S for free). The soundbar in the offer was downgraded before I could pull the trigger, I started rethinking and I'm now caught between the LG and the Samsung QE55S90C. With the discount codes and cashback offers for each considered, the two models come in at very similar prices. As far as I can tell from various reviews, the Samsung is a bit brighter and "pops" a bit more but the LG is considered a bit of a safer bet in terms of burn in and longevity. I know the Samsung doesn't feature Dolby vision, but this doesn't really bother me. I think both likely offer an excellent viewing experience when gaming or watching TV/movies.

    Would you have any advice as to significant pros and cons between these two models? Would one be significantly sturdier than the other on the stand?

    Thanks!

    Hi Bkrangle.

    Many thanks for the post.

    Both are excellent televisions.

    Its a tough call between the two to be honest. I've 2 LG OLED myself at home and use my PS5 regularly on them at they are amazing.

    LG have been doing OLED much longer than Samsung and have it nailed down.

    The LG 10% off is due to finish at midnight tonight and the Samsung cash back will finish 27.2.24.

    The LG you would pay £1299 and then the code for 10% reduces it down to £1169.10 or €1379 which includes the 10% off.

    On the Samsung you would pay €1368 and you can claim back €165 via Samsung. (You need to purchase in Euro to be able to claim back the Samsung cash back).

    The Samsung is a bit more flimsy as more of it is super slim with less back plastic where the connection etc are making it very important to be handle gentle as the OLED screens/Panels are very easily damaged if pressure is applied to them when lifting moving etc....

    Either of these televisions will be an excellent purchase for playing your PS5.
