If you prioritize top-notch picture quality, color accuracy, and gaming performance, then the Samsung S90C (OLED) is an excellent choice, offering best-in-class contrast, superb performance in both bright and dark rooms, as well as outstanding HDR capabilities. However, it does come at an upper midrange price. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60A (LCD) is much more budget-friendly, still delivers good overall picture quality, and performs well in bright rooms, but it doesn't come close to the S90C in terms of advanced features and overall performance, and its gaming experience isn't as smooth.
