Incredibly detailed video with great explanations on color accuracy and why it matters. Thanks for this kind of great content.

Very confused now thanx. Lol Was about to get this tv cause my z9d is starting to act up now thinking might just wait for the Sony z9k with the micro led.. but not looking forward to the price.. yikes. Can only imagine

[@nagol567]

@@SonGoku544 it's more of a purist thing. If you take several TVs and calibrate them they will all look identical despite their limitations such as led not showing true blacks and not being able to go past a certain brightness. The Filmmaker mode is all about displaying content with your TV calibrated to the same standards that the creators use. no extra brightness. No extra saturation. And you also need to watch in a dark room. But if you just want the TV to look good and colors to pop more and don't care about that then this tv is still going to be fine and most people will actually think it looks better cause eits brighter and the colors pop more the way Samsung tweeked the settings. But it is really messed up that they put it in the TV to trick tv testers in this mode.

[@gregio6295]

I agree if you don't like the punchier colors just buy a TCL Hisense tv. Why spend more for capability if your not going to use it just to be accurate.

[@fizywig]

Accuracy is highly affected by light geography in tv room , just like high end hi fi, ( in the case of hi fi, some resort to room “treatment” to ameliorate room dynamics at a high cost- that’s why some prefer high end headphones which negate room dynamics). So unless you watch tv in pitch darkness, accuracy cannot be sole factor determining picture quality fir tv viewing in real rooms

[@mikem12406]

I think Samsung did something similar with their phones a few years ago. When the phone detected certain benchmark software was running, it would overclock the processor by 20%, at the expense of battery life. I'm willing to bet that this new OLED technology is amazing, but the marketing department ruined it.

This is straight up dieselgate. So blatantly dishonest to be tracking accurately on test patterns. This was a deliberate design decision in the company. I had the same thought about Filmmaker mode. You can’t even say that a stricter certification would’ve caught it before this since they adjusted their PQ to the standard test patterns. If there is a verification test for Filmmaker mode then they would’ve just made a PQ to pass that test. Anyway, I hope this is at least a reminder how important it is to have independent journalism. Thanks again Vincent as always and it was very proper of you to make the distinction between Samsung Display and Visual. What a disappointment it turned out to be though. I hope discovering this issue gets you the recognition you deserve.

This is the info we need. I am a professional user, I now have another 60" tv off to the side to buy the C1(since I have one normal TV downstairs, one in my room and had one for monitor use)... I couldn't decide between the C1 and the Aorus 48" OLED monitor.... after doing copious research on their SRGB and ARGB color coverage I was dismayed to see a site like Rting said they were both under 100% and significantly different (ARGB around 89% for the Auros vs 75% for the C1....) but other sites said both where well above 100% for ARGB.... I ended up with the C1 for the features and price thinking it's good enough, and am glad I did, but thank god for people like you who go above and beyond, I could have easily gotten the S95B thinking I was getting a superior pro product despite knowing the C1's brightness for a monitor not 6 feet from my face was more than enough for my eyes.... In my mind this is reminiscent of Volkswagen emissions scandal and shows a clear lack of transparency for Samsung who know people like me exist and to sell more units intentionally mislead them, I don't want to start a flame war or tell people to get pitchforks... but this is very misleading, again, to say the least. If every review site was as effective as you I would have gotten an OLED a long time ago, and maybe even know the actual ARGB performance of my monitor(or of the A1 which rtings did not test as a monitor, perhaps I could have saved money since I have a 2080 Ti and don't game, i'm locked at 30Hz to use HDR due to bandwidth...lol)

Hey 👋 some of those are my videos, before anyone comes to my channel to hate on me for giving an opinion (this is already happening) please read. As someone who has stated multiple times I am not concerned about reference accuracy personally. Its performance next to other TVs I have both C2 and QN90B and the S95B feels like the two combined to make one TV. It’s a big advancement over the WOLED technology like you said in multiple videos. I never pointed out accuracy only color volume differences which is immediately clear to me, I am primarily a gamer the advantages are clear there as well. Accurate or not I like it better than any TV I have seen before. My videos were never about accuracy I think my viewers know this, for me it’s more about celebrating the QD OLED technology because these are moments we rarely see in the TV industry. For me it’s about picture preference and for others it’s about reference accuracy, at the end of the day you have to respect both.

Since I am not sitting next to a reference monitor I have no way of knowing if it's "accurate" (and I have my doubts that we can ever gauge artist's intent without asking about every little detail).

Hiding what they are doing here is pretty awful, they are deliberately making an inaccurate screen test accurately and this very anti consumer. People can watch their TV as they wish of course (I've always argued this), but they should start with accurate and then adjust what they want. If Samsung had added this adjustment as a switchable 'pop filter' then it would be fine, but this 'cheating' of the system represents a basic dishonesty for which they should pay dearly. Certainly I will never buy a Samsung product again, who can trust them when they are so underhanded and basically dishonest?
