Few things I'd add. 1. You can use Movie mode and adjust it for daytime use and have the Filmmaker mode for night - time use. 2. The light sensor can be handy for some people who don't want to constantly switch the brightness setting or switch between filmmaker and movie modes, set brightness as high as you like then adjust the minimum value of the light sensor to what your happy with and the TV does the work. 3. Setting blur and judder to 0 in motion clarity can help with stutter. 4. Contrast can be brought down a little to help with clipping. 5. There is a panel care settings page if your worried about burn in, pixel shift is a must if your using the TV with a PC and logo dimming can help too, lastly leave your TV in standby when you turn it off so it automatically does its mini pixel refresh cycle.

[@saulm5632]

You watched Classy's Video huh..😂😂

[@DVDino]

Is it possible to set the ambient light on just for sdr so you don't have to switch it off everytime the tv displays hdr content?

[@phillydavison]

@DavideScali Yes you can do that. For my SDR daytime viewing I have movie mode brightness on full "50" and the ambient light set to 25 so according to how bright the room is on any given day the sensor will adjust the brightness to suit. It has zero affect on your HDR settings if you use the ambient light for SDR content. Turn the sensor on while you're watching SDR even just once to test it then leave it on and go watch some HDR content, check the setting while you're watching HDR and you will see it is off. Using the light sensor isn't for everyone, some prefer to use Movie mode for daytime viewing and FMM for nighttime viewing but I find it annoying having to change between the 2 each day.

[@phillydavison]

@saulm5632 Well he recommended to turn off the burn in protections which I disagree with, No mention of using the sensor to help avoid using daytime and nighttime picture mode switching nor the tip of leaving the TV in standby mode to allow pixel refreshes. Lowering contrast and setting motion clarity to 0 is pretty universally known on Samsung OLEDs so it was hardly copy n paste was it.

[@jamesmarr8736]

That's what I use movie mode I just had set that way and leve it that way I don't touch it

[@hovelad]

Thanks for this. Have this TV arriving next week and will come back to this video to tweak the settings once it is set up

[@djdancing2000]

Why 95% of youtubers only show parameters for ultra perfect bright contents from youtube videos while 95% of people need parameters for netflix, disney and prime video content.

[@rgrtha7179]

Needed a guide as I'm new to high end TVs and love to take knowledge from this with more experience than myself. Thank you!

[@he15rgp81]

Many Thanks for this Vlog just about to take delivery of S95C and this is really is One to watch ❣

[@13dma1rz]

Thanks. Just got this TV. Very Helpful!

[@joelgarland3161]

Thank you very much for this video. I recently purchased this TV and have a professional calibrator coming in soon, but these setting on this channel specifically is what I’ve been waiting for, cheers

[@avforums]

You are welcome!

[@jimjack3447]

amazing video, thank you

[@kamilpankowski649]

Thx very helpful

[@Brightlight22]

Thank you for the very informative video. Just one question, is there a way to take it out of standby mode without having to turn it off at the plug each time. Thanks

[@fullhd5277]

Thanks ; you have improved your comparisons alot .

[@fullhd5277]

🤭

[@Topdim79]

Great guide. Small detail, I bought the 77S95C, and it came only with one remote, the small one

[@j.rfrazier1855]

Great settings video, as always. Might be worth adding that Contrast 45 clips red/green just above 235 white and causes tinting on near/above white patterns. 38 removes that tinting and allows red and green to track up to 108 white without hard clipping.

[@shroey20]

Are you referring to SDR?

[@j.rfrazier1855]

@@shroey20 Correct.

[@xXxtremeboy2]

I've just ordered the 77" s95c for 2.700€ (around 2.900$) and should arrive by the end of next week. Can you give me some tipps/tricks on how to calibrate it/ adjust the settings, like for example disabling the Samsung TV plus App to avoid menu lags !

[@shroey20]

I have the 77 inch S95C and I kept it offline since day 1. Do you think it now safe to update the firmware?

[@anttikoponen5040]

Huge thanks for this. Just bought 77" S90C. I think same settings applies to S90C version.

[@java2894]

What’s the next remote sells separately?

[@sunilhirani7573]

I can’t seem to get the option on the expert settings in picture to get BT 1886

[@Skit071]

What is that nighttime city scape you have running in the beginning?

[@jonasnezinomas5781]

Samsung💪💪💪💪

[@Kevfactor]

I found clear motivation is the main thing to turn off. A lot of the streaming stuff I think doesn’t do well in film maker mode too but you can’t expect much from streaming

[@Moessie14]

I have a S95C and my connect box is still running after I turn my TV off. On standby: I can feel that it's still running (vibrates) & I can feel the heat on the connect box when I put my hand on it. It goes away after 10-15mins. Is this normal?

[@DVDino]

Yes I think it is, my Q90r one connect box does the same.

[@Chris-ll4xi]

There was only one remote control in my box, the small one... Where do I get the big on on the right?

[@Kircadag]

I have the same question.

[@jimjack3447]

Why are all my Gamma settings disabled apart from 2084?

[@xeon_one]

I have a major problem with my s95c 65. model qn65s95cafxza . You stated you can change in picture mode, but I can't at all only have two modes only they are eye comfort and optimized my current ver. is 1222. = T ptmcakuc 1222 is there a way to get it to movie mode or filemaker or any other modes need help. Thank you

[@mistamon99]

Turn off the "optimized" stuff in the general settings

[@srprice2383]

Why was is contrast 45 to start with then 50? You said HDR mode. Where's that please?

[@karlos5885]

sdr e hdr

[@srprice2383]

You don't say anything about hdr. You said you've got a disc. Then went back in to settings. Why? Why is the contrast 50 now not 45?

[@paulhoey9803]

Think HDR always has contrast at 100 percent

[@muusssfila5993]

It’s too dark for dark scenes for hdr content, contrast improvement should be enabled

[@SonGoku544]

On which medium or high etc. ?

[@yamaha.28]

i bought a samsung s95c 77 inch. I think the TV isn't bright enough! I come from a Q9FN 75 inches. last night we watched the new avatar on disney. Beautiful image but really too dark. even in a dark room! can someone help me what to do? I have tried several picture settings. I also notice that the TV is sometimes brighter than other times. It is much too dark even on standard mode brightnes 50, brightnes mode on high. can someone help?

[@Brightlight22]

Hello Very similar situation to yourself, I was watching The Revenant on Disney and found some of the scenes very dark. Switched over to dynamic mode, omg what an improvement, the scenic views seemed more life like than the real thing. Only downside which I personally don't mind was that it looked as if it had been filmed in a studio and not as the Director had intended. Only recently got my tv so still playing around with the settings (this video certainly helps) , Ive also paired it with Samsung S930c sound system which really enhances your experience.

[@Brightlight22]

I found The Revenant to be too dark so switched it to Dynamic mode, omg the scenic shots were just breath taking, it was as if you were there

[@bdragonfry]

@@Brightlight22 Have you switch off automatic brightness in privacy settings?

[@karlos5885]

avatar contrast high o low and active @@Brightlight22

[@jpaart8342]

why not go beyond standard reference it's outdated 30 years old+ this is 2023 new technology improvise.

[@tawnyteuton]

People who recommend Filmmaker mode are color blind. Why would you buy an OLED TV if you want the colors to essentially be black and white?

[@srprice2383]

It goes brown. Standard is really vivid colours. I don't want a brown picture.

[@ihaveasecret9539]

Filmmaker is literally the most color accurate setting.

[@tawnyteuton]

@@ihaveasecret9539 If you're color blind. No real humans like this mode. Makes your TV look like you're watching through a woman's stocking.

[@srprice2383]

Why does film maker make everything brown? It's much better in Standard.

[@osamahanged]

You didn't even touch the Game mode settings. What a joke.

[@Matrox9999]

i somehow like motiom smoothness.
