Caleb, I'm curious if you tried putting lights to the side of the TV, such as a lamp along the same wall? Does the anti-reflection work just as well?

[@xforx8672]

Caleb, I don't understand why you pay so much attention to comments 🫣 I'm not interested in what all these people say because most of them have no idea what they are talking about and haven't been able to examine the TV in detail like you have. I don't like the fact that the these people have now been given a platform in your video. this is ridiculous 😢 bad times...

[@stehlik]

One of the reasons along with cable management why I’m getting this over LG G4.

[@amrititbhu]

I have been using the 65 S95D for last 1 month, and it has been exceptional. The anti-glare is something I cannot live without now. Earlier I used to be able to see myself in the TV during daytime, and dark scenes looked bad during peak sunlight. But in this TV it is more than visible during the day and no distractions visible on screen. When there is less ambient light or no light you can barely tell it has an anti-glare coating, looks like any good OLED.

[@bruceparker3139]

Does it make colors look washed out when light getting on TV? How much deep black one can expect to be compromised assuming LG G4 is 100?

[@Veyron_fan]

All I will say is I have an old LG C8 that I still love and in a dark room is amazing, but with any light sources or even white walls behind it you WILL see it reflected. Today I visited Selfridge's in London and saw the S95D in the middle of a really bright shop hall with lights everywhere and, OH MY GOD, looking at the footage on the S95D was like looking at a moving matte painting. It is AMAZING

[@thomaskern5323]

Great review! I ordered a 77 inch S95D today, replacing my 78 inch KS9590. I’ve seen the matte screen coating in the shop already and found it a great alternative to the usual glossy screen. It has a bit of raised blacks but it still looked gorgeous and somewhat classy. Loved it.

Plz give us your review whenever possible

[@thomaskern5323]

@@bruceparker3139 I got my S95D and I had to come back here to let you know that’s it’s a fantastic TV. Huge leap over my old LED TV and an incredibly clean Panel. Zero banding - I didn’t know this was possible. The coating looks really classy and the picture is sharp, direct, impactful and a pure joy. Glad I made the plunge 😄

[@Cruelladevil79]

You’ll love the tv, just the Q9FN was a big upgrade (2018) and next was S95B in 2022 so you will for sure get a good tv. I give you one advice I recommend you follow and fuck streamers or reviewers on this, when your tv looks and play great don’t update anymore, if last thing you miss is faster UI it’s not worth it. People updating Samsung especially majority goes in this trap, even the experts, so if all is good don’t update and be sure by reading how others experience is of if you know anyone. Play hard and enjoy 🤘🏼 Edit; also had your tv the first year it was out, first Samsung to get more black rather than the gray tones, also another good tv but they messed with firmwares over time as usual 🤣 Think it was around release of this I started get more cautious with updates, but it goes with all brands as messing firmwares is a criminal business they all do except Panasonic

How are you liking the tv so far? Did you notice the 1 inch difference in tvs? I was always told to buy up in size for tvs or you don't get the woah factor as much

[@prrudman]

I have had this since it was launched and I absolutely love it. I have a couple of recessed ceiling lights that I can barely see when the screen is dark. When I am watching something, there is no noticeable light reflected from anywhere. For years I have had annoying lights reflecting. Sometimes it is so bad I cannot play games or watch movies during the day. Now, no issues at all. The anti-reflective coating is really effective. The only issue I have with it is the difficulty getting sound to the soundbar. With HDMI-eARC turned on it regularly mutes sound to the soundbar (Q990D). Turn it off and it works.

[@BottyGuy]

That’s great to hear, I need a new TV and the window reflections are super bright during the day on the current TV, sometimes blocking viewing on half the screen. I’m definitely going for this after i recently saw it in the store.

[@Sas-wk9lj]

What I do with my S95C and Q990B soundbar is to first switch my soundbar power on and then the TV on with remote. Then it works. If you find soundbar not responding, go to the TV's settings and then sound and then force select Sondbar + TV speaker option, it will reactivate the soundbar.

[@Sas-wk9lj]

@@BottyGuy you're seem to be solving a wrong problem there. All you need is to install blinds and control the light in the room If you're watching TV in daylight, it is probably you're watching any non-movie content and for that, there are quite a lot of cheaper options to buy miniled or full array led to get a bright TV for your daytime viewing and a flagship oled for night time movie watching. No matter how much light reflection it can prevent, if you're watching a movie under bright sun lit room, the picture will be somewhat washed out, and you wouldn't want that when watching a movie on such an expensive flagship TV display, that looks great under low lighting conditions.

[@quinneverett]

Thanks for your review, Caleb! Excellent as always. I recently ordered the 77” G4 and while it hasn’t arrived yet, this review is not giving me any buyers remorse. I’m so excited for the G4 to arrive!

[@HoneyTwee]

​@@SLICK8116do you not find it distracting to see yourself staring back at you in the black mirror that is glossy TVs? Even in a pitch black room. The TV produces light that lights me up. I find on my glossy TV it's super distracting to have a reflection of myself plastered over all darker content. Which that's the whole point of an OLED, to provide better looking blacks for darker parts of content. And that's the whole point of HDR, to provide very bright visuals on specific parts of the image. Combine those in a HDR OLED and you have a recipe for a reflection of yourself plastered over all your content that's sharp and bright enough that you could probably brush your teeth and do your hair in the TV reflection. I don't know why people say these anti reflective screens are good "bright room TVs". Personally I find they're more beneficial in dimmer or dark rooms so there is no haze on the screen and you can't see yourself.

I ordered mine today, it was a close call between the S95D and the G4 as they were the same price. The S95D came with the 600C soundbar which Im super excited about.

Both are great. Comes down to your room and size requirement. I have a lot of windows but wanted 83” so i went for G4. Glossiness is just beautiful and i don’t see any reflection at all. If 77” would be my size, i would probably go for Sony A95L still. Prefer the OS (don’t like LG’s nor Samsung’s).

The thing is as a UK viewer - the 'watching TV in harsh lighting conditions' (that you mention) hardly ever occurs.

Lovely thorough review again Caleb. Is it bright enough for standard sdr though?

[@Cruelladevil79]

S95B was more than fine enough so I would imagine so. Would prefer glossy as the S95B and S90C were incredibly well done, prefer over matte which been used on led in past but looking at this. Tv now after moving country, too much fuzzz about which models are actually QD Oled as well I see some that ordered around world got the 14xx firmware on the S90/95C so better start from fresh with firmwares and cut net when I see it comes too its peak, but the One Connect box is what worries most as it got around 1 faults with dropouts out of 10 tvs roughly, it looks great and early firmware is a big plus. If I knew I could get the S90D with QD Oled it be a safer buy as well full bandwidth which ps5 pro will take advantage of. It will be more then bright enough, got old videos with S95B showing with full daylight and windows beside that is zero issues so this will be superb, ;)

Nice review. I just bought this TV and will have it delivered in a few days. I currently have a glossy TV and can't really move the light fixture that's causing a glare. I have an automation set up to turn off the light whenever the TV turns on, but it's a workaround. This should help. I'm also interested in the color accuracy as a pro photographer and videographer. Looking forward to seeing what it can do.

I LOVE my S95D. I can finally watch without being distracted by reflections of my couch, lights, windows etc. I waited for years to replace a TV because nothing was available before the S95D that would have addressed my issues with reflections.

[@KarimJovian]

Glossy is always for me. I super upset this trend that OLED panels are taking. The same thing with the Steam Deck OLED, I ended up covering the etched glass with glossy screen protector to get that deep black solid look. I game and watch at night and keep my TV away from windows. Don’t need matte

[@Cruelladevil79]

@@KarimJovian Honestly you wont see difference watching in the dark, its made for day time viewing which it does a decent job though day/light its depends where the tv is placed and windows as the coating ain’t great in all scenarios. But when you first seen one its easy to see its the future, the D version is their best tv so far, I just couldn’t have it here cause of light condition in day and second it came too price as everything cost twice as much here with these things. -watching in a dark room I would easily gone for the D version but funnily enough the B and C does such a great job for being glass, I give Samsung until next year and they should have perfected the coating as they are close and its a big thing since they had it perfect on Q9FN and after that downhill with rainbow effect.

[@Cruelladevil79]

@@stehlik Honestly not sure how one can hate Samsung without matte, overall it give less reflection and zero rainbow effect. Its a great dark room tv but Samsung still not broken the perfect matte code. I love both display and could used both now but 95D is very strict with room layout and how things reflect in comparison. Biggest flaw is one connect box which I estimate a good over 20% having or a higher number will get problems with, easy to review TVs but keep over time is different. 😊 The S90D takes literally 2 minutes have same settings as S95D so no much loss neither but it’s the matte. I respect people like it depending on layout unless using it as dark room tv, it got great blacks vs what other will say, worst culprit a xx % will have is the one connect box which is a hassle more than good.

Caleb, great video as always, you are the best. What would you choose between LG4 V S95C, last year's Samsung flagship Oled?

[@joerosenman3480]

Very helpful, thanks. I’ve recently decided to go with the S95D over the S90D; i’ll be very interested in watching your G4 comparison (to eliminate any lingering hesitation on my part). I’m hoping for a Labor Day price drop to make my purchase. But as I’m already writing. The advantages of wall mounting are obvious. Yet it seems to me that table (mount?) allows for better air flow/cooling and given the heating you’ve described that should affect longevity. No? Last, if you really have some influence with Samsung perhaps you could whisper two letters to them: D and V. Have you ever heard of a case of a company selling a consumer product where a feature (in this case DV) is nearly universally wanted but the manufacturer refuses to pay the licensing fee to include it? (Yes, I know they want to promote HDR+ but they could have both).

I never understood the criticism of the anti-glare display. In most bright lighting conditions, glossy OLEDs become virtually unwatchable and the S95D pretty much solves that entirely. And for the times when viewed in the dark, the anti-glare becomes a non issue since there is no external light to diffuse. Plus, as a fan of watching films in theaters, I prefer the matte presentation over a glossy screen since it’s closer to what you get from a projector. Glossy screens seem more suited to product demos and sports viewing anyways.

Great review Caleb. Samsung may not be able to escape the outcome of the S95D's success, its a lose lose situation for them in the coming years unless they make 2 different OLED SKUs with identical specs for picture quality. I think some people will love the OLED glare free design so much that it would be a mistake for Samsung to cut it, but on the other hand you have to understand its not going to be ideal for all rooms and those people deserve a flagship on the same level with a glossy coating. So whats the solution? Maybe they have to make them the same specs but make the choice to give one the one connect box + infinity design while the other doesn't but as long they have equal picture quality and the same panel people would be happy with that outcome.

I love my S95D, the glare free treatment actually preserves the black level for me in my very bright living room, and it doesn't affect the picture quality for me during night time viewing in lights off conditions. Most importantly, it significantly controls the magenta tint that most people are displeased with QD-OLED panels.

the issue with all these videos no matter who they are from is that we are never watching on the latest and greatest TV so we have to go by our own opinion on them but i would like to see a comparison between 2024 top of the line models for samsung, LG and sony.

[@mbvx7]

We just want Bravia 8 reviews. JK. As always, this IS the best TV review channel on KZbin

[@roncruiser]

Three bright large windows in front of my current TV. I need this TV. Next year when it comes down in price. I can see outside my windows and watch TV at the same time.

[@CastIronEric]

Man it was hard to pick between this one and the G4. Ultimately went with the G4 77 inch.

[@gangs0846]

Right choice

[@dman7668]

Yeah, this is where I'm at. The G4 may not have the brighter colors, but OLED blacks are going to be punchier and the image will look sharper.

[@JayJay-jx3zg]

@@dman7668the S95D is an OLED, too. Being QD-OLED, it just has a different pixel structure that is capable of better color volume vs WOLED.

[@aaronjohnson2999]

I'm sure this was a pain in the ass to do! Much respect! Fair and balanced.

[@franciscomerino5586]

Great review indeed! I appreciate honesty above anything else. I got a NQ 900D Neo QLED 8K 75” and I’m beyond disappointed, and I’m not an expert when it comes to TVs, and so I guess I’m going to get a S 95D, cause besides getting my money back from the NQ 900D, I have some promotional codes with Samsung I’ll like to take advantage of.

[@taltigolt]

my experience with this tv which i posted a video of on my channel best panel i have ever seen the ag coating is nothing short of a miracle and I see nothing wrong with it what so ever and that's from someone that despises antiglare coatings, only issue i have is that a light will diffuse more so than a glossy tv, so to me glossy is better, as i don't want a big ball of light in the picture, but overall i like to keep total darkness when watching a movie so it's something i can forgive installing the stand was a nightmare that made me scream a few times, you have pegs you have to line up in holes but you can't see what you're doing as it's all covered you have to hang it on a plastic piece then just push it down and hope you got it and if you only got one peg you have to redo, then you need to push it with your fingers to line it up for the screws to go in as it won't happen perfectly on it's own the screws won't go in as it's not lined up. the skipping is something I experienced too I also experience artifacting like the sky showing artifacts in a video, my sony a95k has an overall more detailed picture but I ended up forgiving that for it's amazing panel, I tried watching Godzilla on HBO max and it looks less than hd my sony did this so much better PC performance is just awful it crashes my PC it dims the picture as I am pushing the highest possible brightness it can handle and eventually it dims until I turn the tv off and on it's random sometimes it dims sometimes not, hdr is so broken that I am afraid of turning it on it looks awful when I turn it on but it's always been broken on windows, gaming mode is entirely broken and when turned on you lose half it's brightness so it's just awful i keep it off it's just so terrible, I have it set to 120 hz now for a more stable experience as 144 is just unstable, I am running on a rtx 3080 with a hdmi 2.1 cable, it worked fine on my sony a95k for years in 4k 120hz note that i am using the one connect box with the really low cable tizen os is by far the ugliest most complicated os I have ever seen and google tv is superb in comparison, you have to press home and settings and then you get a menu that covers the screen and then you need to press each option to adjust it, on google tv you press the settings button and you get a quickbar with everything and the menu on the side it's so intuitive it's not super attractive but at least it's not overly blue overall I think this is an incredible tv and even with it's awful PC performance i am justifying keeping it because the panel is just so beautiful and so gorgeous

[@sagioto]

Does it have Dolby vision?

[@kcfilmstudio]

The real question here.

[@welshcaesar]

No

[@JayJay-jx3zg]

Dolby vision is all about color. This is a QD-OLED, which is also all about better color volume vs WOLED. I’d be surprised if it was a deal breaking difference for the S95D not having DV.

[@LarryJWhitaker]

Would you please provide the settings you used to calibrate your S95D to where family & friends were "Gob-smacked!" Thank you so much.

[@graysonpeddie]

Even the same TV model is going to be different from panel to panel. I could provide the source of that statement but I cannot post links in KZbin.

[@MarcusTurner-b6e]

[@davel4449]

Honestly I can't WAIT for a proper review for the s90d compared to lg g4 and a95l.... Such a big price difference and would have lovvveeeeeeeed to see a comparison with Dolby vision vs hdr10+ differences on those models

[@JroJamoJames]

@@davel4449 there’s no argument there the S90D/C is way more bang for your buck, but if you want that extra the G4/A95L are better just…like way more expensive

Thanks for a well balanced review. The anti-glare screen would probably not be for me, given the smearing, but your attempts to always be fair-minded are appreciated.

8:18 I think the lean back is normal. I have it too. I used the packaging material and put some Styrofoam under it, to tilt it forward.

[@PremiumAli]

Awesome take now I’m back at considering their 4K monitor. Also has the coating

[@SENCORE_ISF]

What technical element of a WOLED would create a “More Inky Black Level” than a QDOLED? As a calibrator I have not noticed this.

[@paulhoey9803]

I think it relates to the polariser or lack of in qd oled. I have a s90c and prefer it over the woled I've had before but I did notice lifted blacks with some ambient lighting a bit like the way a plasma screen isn't as black as traditional oled

[@jnvivian]

There are two parts for this. For second and third generation WOLED, LG Display gives those panels black surface treatments to absorb as much unwanted light from things like inbound light or light that the OLEDS generated but went the wrong way as possible. For second generation WOLED, LG Display uses a “Master Black” surface treatment. For third generation WOLED (which has MLA), LG Display uses a Vantablack surface treatment. For QD-OLED, the quantum dots are out in front, so any inbound light that has high enough energy photons will excite the quantum dots, causing them to get excited and generate photons that go somewhere. The antiglare coating helps here by scattering inbound light so that some of it is directed away from the quantum dots, so colors are less distorted by wrongly-excited quantum dots releasing unwanted photons. This is less of a problem in LCD TVs since the quantum dot enhancement film that converts blue light from the backlight unit is behind the LCD cell which blocks a lot of inbound light. I also currently do not know of any black treatments to absorb unwanted light in QD-OLED panels, but I could be wrong about this.

[@SENCORE_ISF]

Thanks guys, I was multi tasking during the original view. I didn’t hear Andrew say, “When the lights are up, I mean really up” Yes am aware of a moderately raised black level in that circumstance on QD OLED’s

[@jnvivian]

I have since found an error in my previous post. Samsung Display did add an anti-reflective layer to its second generation QD-OLED, but tests show that while it helps compared to first generation QD-OLED, second generation QD-OLEDs still reflect more than WOLEDs and some LCDs.

[@Scott-r1t]

I have had the s90d for a few months and it has some quirks with VRR flickering in dark scenes when the frame rate fluctuates wildly. Another is that it does some weird stuff at times with stuttering that is annoying, especially in games. The menu and remote sucks. Might return it for an LG g3. I prefer the subtle matte anti-glare on the s90d as it's not too aggressive.

[@centillion7]

"Gob smacked just smacked all up in their Gob"...I have to say the same happened to me and a few of my friends when seeing the Samsung S95D.

[@qtaoxu5213]

Been waiting for your Sony Bravia 9 reviews!!!!! Cuz you always provide the best point for the TVs!!!

[@jonsatvoutdoorchannel6686]

Yes Samsung PLEASE give us the glossy screen option on the flagship QD-OLED. PLEASE!

[@rayenwoomed5323]

We bought the S95D 77” for $2000 off and ended up returning it. The reason? The anti-reflective coating causes blooming around bright highlights against a dark background, making it look like a mini-LED TV rather than an OLED with perfect contrast and inky blacks. This was while watching in a dark room too. Also the motion processing is bad. We watched the Champion’s League final and it was nowhere near as clear as our 4 year old LG GX. This issue persisted no matter how much I tinkered with the motion settings. We’re gonna get the LG G4 now instead.

[@LittlePlant888]

This is disappointing to hear, but thanks for sharing! That's a good bit of info to know. I am on the hunt for the perfect gaming tv and was almost decided on the s95D

[@rayenwoomed5323]

@@LittlePlant888 Happy to help anyone that’s looking for a new TV by sharing my experience! To be fair, the blooming issue was mostly relegated to movie credits and subtitles. If you can look past that small issue, then the S95D is still a great TV, especially if you can get it on sale. The vividness of the colours is still something Samsung excels at. It’s just that the screen coating kind of “flattens” the image and gets rid of the distinct 3D look that OLEDs are known for. That’s why my family is switching to the LG G4. Even though its colours aren’t as vivid as the Samsung, the image has a lot more depth and really pops out of the screen, thanks to the glossy coating. Plus the motion processing is great for watching sports. But if you’re using it for gaming: I wouldn’t worry too much about the S95D. Unless you’re playing on a PC, in which case you’re limited to 120HZ, as the 144HZ mode doesn’t work properly with Samsungs one-connect box. But that’s something they might fix with an update. The LG G4 on the other hand is a fantastic gaming TV that does full 4k at 144Hz no problem. I’d ultimately recommend buying whichever one you get the best deal on if you’re mainly gaming on it.

[@amrititbhu]

That is not bloom, it is glare. It happens due to high brightness. Gloss or matte, glare will be there

[@rayenwoomed5323]

@@amrititbhu Thanks, I didn’t know that. Would there still be glare even when watching in a pitch black room?

[@Wileytiger-el6pu]

Why didn’t you get an a95l over the g4?

[@kineahora8736]

I’m watching sports (NBA finals) with the S95D right now- I have to say it I just really like the picture of the TV. I was having audio dropout via both optical and HDMI with an expensive DAC I have had since 2013. I switched it out for one of those $30 HDMI audio extractor DACS, and no dropouts now🤣🤣 Looks great with Netflix 4K content … The uproar is all overblown stuff about the matte-like anti-reflective coating . I get it some people hate it. Whatever. If I were samsung, I would offer versions of next year’s flagship in both glossy and Matte just to stop potential customers from going crazy.

[@divrequiem]

I think the anti glare screen is more distracting than having a small light reflection. It blows out the colors and blacks badly. Got the S95C instead.

[@MyNameJeff-ck4sb]

Awsome video. The only one I trust for when I go to buy a tv

[@roco9504]

I seen and actually loved the anti-glare! Couldn’t even see my own reflection! That said, you mentioned blacks not looking inky but that’s with anything other then WOLED, but sadly not true, the MLA does it too, I can easily notice blacks not looking inky black on it with lighting in the room. I’m glad I got the G2. But I’ll need another (bigger) tv eventually so idk what to do.. perhaps the C5 or S95E if they make it in an 83”

[@habibrami8242]

Last year, I grabbed the 95C during Black Friday for just €1,700-an absolute steal, right? But then, life threw me a curveball. The TV died on me, and I thought, “Well, that’s it.” But here’s where the story gets good: they replaced it with the brand-new 95D, at no extra cost. That’s right-the latest model for the same €1,700. Now that’s what I call an upgrade! Let’s talk about the experience. If you’ve used the 95C before, you’ll notice the difference right away. But here’s the thing-it’s not necessarily better or worse, just… different. And honestly, after a few days, I’ve completely fallen for the 95D. Performance-wise, this TV delivers big time. Whether you’re binge-watching movies or diving into intense gaming sessions, the immersion is unreal. That said, a quick heads-up: this model doesn’t come with Google Assistant, but you do get Alexa and Bixby. Also, in the early days, there was a bit of a heating issue, but it’s been sorted out with a software patch in the early days

[@Smellslikegelfling]

I just want someone to side by side compare the S95D and the Sony Bravia 9 and tell me which one is the best.
