Is the S90F 42" basically the same as the C5 42"?
Hi guys,
Professional overthinker here.
I guess the title says it all. I’d like to know if there’s any substantial difference in picture quality or brightness between these two models. From what I understand, they supposedly use the same 42" LG WOLED panel.
That said, most people here on Reddit seem to prefer the C5. I’m personally leaning toward it as well because I prefer the cleaner stand design, and I already own a 55" C1 that has been excellent so far.
The biggest factor for me is the price difference in my country:
- S90F 42" — around $580
- C5 42" — around $790
I’m not exactly budget-constrained, but that’s still a pretty significant gap.
So what do you think? Should I just go for the S90F, or is there something I’m missing that makes the C5 genuinely worth the extra money?
Intended usage: console gaming.
Thanks!!
