I bought both this last year. IMO the S90 is superior in every way, other than the lack of DV. Which is more or less irrelevant with models at this level, if you properly configure your display and major streamers are streaming in HDR10P now. But streaming services are horrible at HDR including DV, the differences may only be seen with DV formatted physical media but that's subjective. I'm not a Samsung fan whatsoever but they're doing a really good job with their QD-OLEDs, I own several now.

Was it $1800?
The C4 will likely last you much longer, because these TVs are very well known for having terrible quality control (which is why they go on sale so often, and for cheaper than LG), but the color on this is better. However, if you're watching it in a bright room, this is worse. QD-OLED has raised black levels (where the black looks grey) when any amount of ambient light hits the screen. That's just a problem with that display tech. So, it's definitely a TV for a dark room. Regular OLED will keep that inky black whether the room is bright or dark, but it doesn't have the color volume of this.
HDR game mode keeps its brightness on the C4. Just not if you're playing in SDR. Since most games have HDR support now, it's not usually an issue. Not to mention that you can set the console to have HDR always on, granted that's fake HDR that kind of washes out the picture. Colors still pop plenty on the C4, too. They're just not quite as vivid. I'd take the C4 any day, because Samsungs are so unreliable, and in a bright room, QD-OLED looks awful, because of the raised blacks. I'd rather have an all-around TV.
