"A year and a half later, I disagree: I regret picking the Samsung over the LG. I regret it every time I adjust the volume on my TV, every time I plug in a new device, and especially ever since the Logitech Harmony Amazon Alexa integration shit the bed and I have to fumble a Samsung remote to switch inputs."
"Samsung's QD-OLED panel itself is phenomenal, if nothing special in 2026. The problem is the software. I would pay Samsung $100, right now, for this "smart" TV to be as dumb as the ones I grew up with. Heck, I'd give Samsung 50 bucks just to let us disable the volume indicator. Failing that, let's see if shame works. Let me be clear: One of the final deciding reasons I chose the Samsung S90C over the LG C3 was that LG had failed me before."
An in-store comparison in June 2024 between the LG C3 and Samsung S90C resulted in choosing the Samsung S90C, motivated partly by prior LG reliability issues. The S90C's QD-OLED panel delivers excellent picture quality, but software irritations dominate the user experience. The TV displays an oversized on-screen volume indicator that obscures much of the picture and offers little useful information when using an external receiver. Smart-home integration failures—specifically Logitech Harmony and Amazon Alexa—require using the Samsung remote to switch inputs. The buyer offers to pay Samsung to disable intrusive features and expresses recurring regret over the purchase.
