Samsung's New Smart Professional Calibration Tutorial for QN90B, S95B OLED, QN85B Neo QLED TVs 2022

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

Its crazy I have the brand new S22+ and it doesnt work on it, and the Iphone 12 keeps crashing the app. From your results 50 brightness in SDR is making it too bright and if you set it around 25 should be near 200-250 nits and have better black levels. Hope I can test this out soon. Thanks for the mention.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

What S22+ did not work? Yes you are right about calibrated makes it brighter. I think we can control backlight (which is brightness to any preferred level). As I said samsung will need to fix a lot of things to make it work properly for all devices including iPhone and also it is just for SDR. I wish it was for HDR calibration. .

[@rollnrollnroll]

@@MyGadgetsWorld same here. 22 Ultra. It works for anything else related to the TV but for the calibration, it keeps saying make sure I'm on the same Wi-Fi as the TV which I am. Have rebooted, reinstalled, reset, etc etc etc and 0 luck getting the smart calibration to work yet.

[@AAA-jp7xb]

​@rollnrollnroll You must allow your connection to tv (if you run smart things app on mobile will show notification on tv tap on allow) *note: the name of device connection notification isn't same of your mobile name.

[@JumpRopeLift]

We will be testing this pretty extensively.

[@TheGodfather1022]

Looking forward to it Matt

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Yes. It will be great to see how close it gets with calibration. Samsung camera by default is very cool temperature but they way it changes from Cool to Warm2. It seems to be working. Will look forward ro your findings.

seems a pretty good app and concept, thank you for the video man, great content

Did professional smart calibration using my S22 for my Qn95b, then I have used film maker mode with slightly increased brightness, best setting till now. Will expirement more later!

Is smart cali..required

[@eng-ahmedhusen729]

Is reset to default will reverse it right again as same before smart cal. ???🎉

[@charliewilson3234]

I got the 85in QN95B a few days ago. So far disappointed with issues. But will try this out.

[@dlorde]

The calibration app for the 2023 Neo QLEDs has an option for HDR. It did a decent job on my QN93C Neo QLED, using a Samsung Galaxy S23+, good enough that I'll give it a week or two before I consider further tweaks.

[@michaelbinbc]

I just did my QN90B just now using a Samsung Galaxy S10e. I didn't see the HDR at first, but after doing SDR at 200 nits, I decided to re-do it at the stock 150 nits... that's when I saw the HDR option. Looking at the 20-pointy White balance settings, there's a lot of negative numbers now... lol. It looks absolutely amazing though. Holy freaking cow. 😎

[@Cla55clown]

Thanks for showing how to do this. I'm wondering, should any of the targets or settings be adjusted for doing the professional calibration mode?

[@Houdini934]

Thanks for the information 👍🏾 I the Samsung S90C I might try this out

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Appreciate it

[@othman0077]

Interesting, I think using iPhone camera will give better results I was thinking it will communicate using usb cable instead it is using camera, I am not sure, but generally if it brighten the shadows it's a good sign 🤔

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Probably yes. I will test validity using a software I have, it calculates the RGB balance and D65 white point.

[@johncasey47]

IPhone cameras are inferior to Android, so unless you want a calibration that has blown out colors and a washed out picture...I would recommend doing it with a Samsung 22 or s23, even if you have to use your friends android phone to do it.

Hello, thank you for the informative video. For some reason I'm not able to perform the calibration as I'm getting a message to make sure that my TV and mobile device are on the same network. I am connected to the same Wi-Fi network so not sure how to clear the error. My phone is an Apple 13. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@Drum2]

Just got my new QN95B 55" a few days ago, super TV. I tried both the Basic and the professional calibrations. Both made the image looks rubbish. Way way to warm and dull and muddy for me. Much prefer the normal Standard mode.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Mike does it work well?

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Yes, I change color to all the way to cool and it brings it to warm2 and also looked better with shadow details as I try to show , not sure how much justice my camera did.

[@smileforeverever]

Can you show 2 same pictures compare to basic mode and pro mode option to see the differance ?

Do I have run the Basic first then the Professional? Or just go to the Professional. I can do both as well as the SDR and HDR on my Samsung S21FE5g phone. Took approx 5 min. for the Professional HDR calibration. Highly recommend using your tripod or something else to steady the phone during the calibration.

[@MasterOfMadmen]

Samsung doesn't provide the professional option for the S95b. Per Samsung's site "Professional Mode is available on models QN900B/QN800B/QN700B/QN95B/QN90B"

Hey Viktor. Thanks for watching. It is something that I will be testing tonight for color accuracy to see RGB balance. Going to be busy night. What is your opinion/judgement on the QD OLED Alienware monitor? You think it is dealbreaker? I saw Vincent's latest video he praised it and called it best gaming monitor.

[@DisplayReality]

@@MyGadgetsWorld I love the QD-OLED. Those that pixel shift is annoying. PC gamers who edit or web browse will definitely see it. Every 15-20 min it happens. I Don't know why Vincent didn't say this. But otherwise it's the best ultrawide problably at least in new display tech.

Great video! I just got this TV in a 55" of the QN90B and I had a question! Whenever I go to the settings and I adjust the brightness and contrast to my preference and I turn off brightness Optimization, turn local dimming to low, turn off contrast enhancer, then I go play a game or do something, and the moment I come back to the picture settings The whole TV gets bright and puts the brightness and contrast back to 50 max default, when I changed it to lower numbers earlier. Kind of annoying. I'm sure its a simple solution to resolve, so any idea how to take care of that?

I know this video is months old. But maybe you have an answer for this: The TV when the detected source is a PC can't perform this function cause it ensures 444 for clear visibility of text. Is there some way to bypass this and do not use it with 444 but having a specific color space like rec709 or dcip3 and also have the ability to perform the calibration?

[@ramirezhunajpu]

I see that your TV is more inclined to the left side when looking at it from the front. I just bought my QN90b and it has the same problem and I don't know if it is a defect in the base of my TV or it is normal that this happens due to the weight of the TV itself. Can someone tell me if it's normal or not? Thank you

[@doloresvancartier4249]

Same here! Seems to be a common issue. Perhaps because we all do the same thing when we take it out of the box. From the back, we screw in the right side of the base tightly then the left side. Then as a result the left side sits lower a bit when we are facing the tv. Maybe thats why. Thats the only explanation I can come up with for now.

Reality is average consumer won't pay for a calibration as it's way to expensive. This is really to get your TV to a starting point and then you can tweak to your liking which is great for the average consumer. I'm sure once a "professional" calibrator compares to their calibration equipment it won't be close and they'll shit on this from Samsung. But in sure Samsung knows that's not the point. I'm sure it'll be better than the way the tv comes and will get better over time.
