Samsung 2024 TV Lineup Explained: QD-OLED vs WOLED vs Neo QLED

Samsung has launched its flagship S95D, midrange S90D & entry-level S85D OLED TV lineup for 2024, but won't seek to communicate which is QD-OLED & which is WOLED in its marketing, so here's a detailed video to help you decide.
The company also showcased its 8K Neo QLED (flagship QN900D & step-down QN800D) & 4K Neo QLED (QN90D, QN85D, Q70D & Q60D) ranges at an exhibition event in Frankfurt, as well as Micro LED TV & lifestyle displays such as The Frame & The Serif.
The "Includes Paid Promotion" message in this video refers to the sponsorship by British AV retailer Richer Sounds. If you're interested in getting a new TV, even if it's not a Samsung OLED, please support this channel by considering buying from them.

Their absurd anti glare coating ruins the entire contrast instead of the glossy coating which has a far better tradeoff

[@nimblegoat]

I find it crazy - people claiming how bright their TVs go , and they watch in a reasonably lit room . That should just be for convenience and stuff like Sports , News , kids cartoons etc ( bright images ) where dark scenes , and infinite contrast don't matter . HDR is mastered for dark room viewing . If you have a TV that can do 0-10 000 Nits - if WILL always have less contrast if watched in a bright room compared to a 0-1000NIts TV watched in a dark room . The lifted blacks will be bad and it's impossible to overcome in a bright room . Would you watch a movie with a vacuum cleaner going? , so why watch on a movie on an expensive TV in UHD HDR in a bright room . If you want a TV for bright room viewing get a kick ass big Mini-LED at 98"

Yes I don't get best BT2020 or MLA+ /QDOLED nit boost , But given I prefer older SDR movies as well and I watch in dark room . All 3 will hit or better the 1000NITS . Larger size will better higher NITS as most common owner's response . Plus still allows a great deal on a 55" in say 3 years as another option that can hit higher volume/NIts. Plus if the TV I buy looks great, that will not change it better TVs come out ( most important point ) , Plus I will build a new PC in 2 or 3 years - that monitor will be fantastic

[@thedalailmao]

That matte screen has already killed the perceived contrast - 2:49 showing the B&W hooded crow by the water. Sigh. When will manufacturers stop putting matte on HDR displays?

[@quitepossiblylucky]

I noticed. The matte screen only managed to spread out the light shining on it, whereas the glossy one did not...

[@exscape]

I agree, but the main cause is of course the strong ring light aimed straight at the display. I don't think the glossy looks any better in this extreme scenario, the ring is also very annoying.

[@18yearsoldnot]

Perceived contrast is not as big of an issue as the reflected light where your eyes shift focus. Many of us in darker countries like to watch tv with the daylight filling the room

That S95D is gonna bomb. Hopefully they have a way to remove that filter. S95C looks so clear and then S95D looks like an lcd from 15 years ago with all the washout.

[@karlhendrikse]

The S95C does not look clear; it has a huge big reflection of the ring light right in the middle. Very distracting. Hard to focus on what you're actually trying to watch. Spreading the same amount of light over a larger area will always be better. Of course, what's shown in the video is an extreme case, and there's a much better way to solve it: turn off the damn light. But if that's not possible, spreading out the reflection as much as possible will make it minimally distracting.

I think the hunt for the perfect anti-glare coating has run rampant. Between the S95C and S95D, I would choose deeper blacks over hazy blacks. The light sources in your room can most of the time be fixed, whereas the aggressive anti-glare coating will forever give you the less attractive blacks.

[@TabalugaDragon]

I'm actually surprised reading comments in this video of how many people dislike matte. Why then we have pretty much exclusively matte screens on gaming laptops(as opposed to office laptops which have a glossy coating way more often) and 16:10 screens? I just don't get it. There seems to be the public outcry for glossy displays in the last few years, yet next to zero glossy options in many big screen segments 🤷‍♂

[@andre_ss6]

Vincent, can you test reflections from objects indirectly lit by the TV itself, which I think is a way more realistic scenario than an ring light shone directly at the TV? I also think it’d be way more useful, since _that_ is an actual problem many of us have with glossy OLEDs.

[@bojankassebaum2045]

Hey Vincent, kind of off-topic for this video, but I would be so happy if you can answer me. It's about the contrast setting for Xbox Gaming SDR on LG OLED. Ninjician posted somewhere in a forum, that LG Contrast 85 ist extended range, meaning values for 16-255 and LG Contrast 100 is legal range, meaning values from 16-235. My question: why is contrast setting 85 correct for SDR? In the calibration menu within Xbox blacks should not be distinguishable, so the black eye disappears or is not visible with brightness setting 50. But the white sun is clearly visible with contrast 85. It only disappears with contrast 100. So black fades into black and white fades into white. Isn't then contrast 100 correct for SDR, where the source clearly only outputs HDMI Black Level limited range (16-235)? It even looks dimmer and kind of "not enough" when on contrast 85. What is your professional comment to this? :) Thanks a lot in advance and keep up your fantastic humour. *bling* 😅

However, if I connect my hwq990c the same way, I can only play at a maximum of 60 fps at 1080p resolution. why doesn't it work with hw 990c but with the older hw q900a is does?, hdmi 2.0 shoud be enough for 120fps at full hd.

I know you’re not exactly enamored of Samsung-fair enough-but making an unnecessarily confusing marketplace even less clear doesn’t help the cause of shedding more light. As I understand it (which is to say: enormous grain of salt) the *initial* 90Ds -may- be the same QD-OLED screens as used in the 90Cs (until stock runs out) at which time the nee 90D screens will be invisibly slipped into manufacturing. Now don’t get me wrong. If true that enormously sucks and is (IMO) colossally stupid of Samsung. The obvious way to handle the situation would have been to use only the new screens on the new product-protecting brand and consumer confidence-and using the older screens on a lesser product which may, therefore, have some “unexpectedly” better parts used-and just delay manufacturer discounts to move stock a few months to recoup costs. Assuming you have the warehouse space everybody wins. But this scenario takes something the Koreans (and Japanese) used to have before becoming slaves to stockholders-just like US companies-vision and room to act in support of the company long-term. But I think I digress… My question remains: absent (!) the latest generation screen, is their a meaningful difference between the 90C and 90D? Let me perl a layer back on my thinking. I had all bu decided to get a 77 95C-but the order got screwed up! So now the D line is out. Get the 95? Wait for the D? All everyone talks about is the 95D screen-not the considerably cheaper 90D. And not a word about the digital processing). Truth to tell I’ve started to reconsider getting the Sony x77a95l but it is out of stock everywhere, by console is only 60” wide (no problem for the pedestal Samsung). And audio is a significant consideration. I had the top Samsung Atmos sound-bar included with the 95c. There isn’t an equivalent with the Sony. So…

Mat screens are dreadful, all they do is lower the contrast and look washed and, what the hell are Samsung playing at....... The have ruined this year's QDOLED, it should have been the best....

[@tatianaes3354]

Indeed. Even glossy OLEDs have bad real-life contrast (not to be confused with PR “infinite contrast” BS) because they often lack polarisers, so they reflect back crazy amounts of incoming light, if used not in complete darkness. This is because the actual display matrix is a huge number of metal wires, so it is a mirror. Matte OLEDs are even way worse than that.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I'm still.good with my S95B from 2022 😊

[@rkeith7766]

So no QN95D this year?

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I'd be pissed if I got the wrong TV😂

[@DragonboltBlastter]

65'' S90D QDCC for €3000 is too much

[@FiletCris]

dude the 23y samsung oled looks way sharper with deeper color and better contrast even on the youtube video.

[@LeechyKun]

So the decision to watching something in a bright room is a washed out hazy picture that is still seeable or a blotting of the picture but keeps the contrast/quality around it. It's like choosing between myopia or central serous retinopathy. Best to just watch it in a dark or dimly lit room to avoid most of these issues. Blinds exist for a reason or just leaving the door ajar that lets in some light which isn't in contact with the screen itself.

[@DarkKnight-gw4gw]

Samsung playing games by not being upfront with which models are QD vs W OLED, it’s lifted blacks from its “anti-glare” implementation, and continued lack of Dolby Vision support….no thanks.

[@user-gb3jk5sn9u]

I have the limited Steam Deck, with anti glare. It tends to look fantastic. I also have a C1, glossy of course. They both look amazing, but I don’t spend time looking at both of them next to one another.

[@baronsamedivitus]

What about Q80D?

[@adonisds]

The matte screen makes the S95D look awful compared to the S95C, the contrast is much worse. The matte coating is great for many people, but probably not for most people who watch this channel and want to buy an expensive OLED TV, and Vincent talked more about the advantages than the disadvantages. Vincent is among the very best reviewers, but the content here became biased and real reviews became quite rare after everyone started to notice his talents and he started getting favours from the manufacturers. It's dissapointing that the newest QD-OLED panel is matte only

[@adonisds]

Vincent even had to spin some things to please Samsung, for instance: the fact that reflections are often in very different focal and vergence planes compared to the screen should not be an argument in favor of matte because having your eyes change focal plane is something completely natural that we do all the time and it barely causes any discomfort. It makes the reflections much less noticeable because they will be out of focus and in front of different parts of the image the TV is displaying for each eye, therefore making them less noticeable and being overall an argument in favor of glossy. Close one eye and see how suddenly TV reflections become more noticeable

@adonisds: This video is merely reporting from a showcase event - we will judge for ourselves once we receive a review unit in our own test environment. We are always honest and transparent in our reviews, constantly explaining the pros and cons of every TV we test, so that potential buyers can make an informed decision. For example, we were the first to report the 40Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth limitation on the Samsung S95C, the lack of dynamic colour boosting in [HDR Game Mode] on the LG G3, as well as the undersaturated dark colours on the Sony A95L in our reviews, so we are definitely not biased in spite of manufacturers' hospitality.

[@adonisds]

@@hdtvtest I need to apologize, Vincent. While I do wish there were less of these videos and more reviews and guides, I do understand that these kind of videos are necessary for your business and I was too harsh, I don't think what you're doing is wrong. So my sincere apologies and thanks for all the content

[@hdtvtest]

@adonisds: Thanks for understanding.

[@killerinfo]

@@adonisds Kudos to you apologising publicly and being open to correction instead of not responding or doubling down. Not often it's seen online. Respect man

[@DeeBatch]

The contrast is greatly reduced on the S95D. You can clearly see it on the side by side. As one would think with this type of screen.

[@ivana6141]

Where are the 83" and above?

[@radry100]

wololo led?

[@ThereisNOpandemicWAKEUP]

Why the hell would you want a matte screen instead of the superiour glossy

[@rodd1000]

Should I hang on to my Q9FN or upgrade to the new Oled. Tv is used around 14 hours each day, mainly news, gaming and films.

LG G4 OLED WILL DESTROY THIS SAMSUNG TV
