If you're looking for top-notch picture quality, particularly for gaming, watching movies, or viewing in dark rooms, the Samsung S90C OLED's higher contrast, excellent black uniformity, and wide-color gamut can justify its premium price. However, if cost is a major factor and your viewing consists mostly of news, talk shows, or you need a TV with good viewing angles in a bright room, the Toshiba C350LU LCD can save you money. Keep in mind, though, the Toshiba will not match the Samsung in picture quality, especially in dimly lit environments, and it has poor motion processing which might not be ideal for fast-moving content like sports. The Samsung's OLED technology also presents a risk of burn-in, particularly if static images are displayed frequently, which isn't an issue for the Toshiba's LCD screen. Give Feedback
