Have been using s95d for one month. Rtings is right, direct huge lights will raise blacks. But in 99% of use cases matte is far superior for viewing in the daytime. Unless you have a window right in front of the tv, matte looks better, because there are no visible reflections and artifacts. My TV is exceptional in the day and at night. Glossy is better if u have dim lights or blinds. IMHO people should buy s90d if they want to watch in dim light. For day+night s95d is better, due to the anti-glare finish. In daytime setting, during dim scenes, I could see myself on my previous TV along with the visuals. No such problems here.

[@bdockett1]

It's beyond me how they rated this with a worse reflection score then the gloss screen. I have been using it for about a month also. I will take raised blacks in an area where normally it be zero black and just a perfect reflection

We all know that Samsung usually squeezes out its televisions the first month when reviews are made on KZbin channels and after references like Rtings release their review videos. Samsung releases an update cutting performance to what the TV can REALLY handle without "melting".

[@paulpoppleton1335]

I really love this TV. For me the main reason I considered it was the anit glare matte screen. It works amazingly well. Our tv was almost impossible to use during daylight hours and we had a lot of glare from lights in the evening as well. No problems at all daytime watching and we basically have all windows opposite the tv. We had recently taken down all of our blinds during a window and sliding door replacement and we decided not to put the blinds back up because the room looked so much better without them. When we had the blinds down during the day it helped but without them like I said nearly impossible to watch enjoyably. No issue at all though now with the new tv. From others comments it sounds like they might be missing the mark on some expected features but none of those things were important to me. The display looks amazing and the anti glare works way beyond what I expected I was hoping for a decrease but honestly it is 95% gone in my viewing environment.

[@yuragi1454]

Btw. the issues with black outs on HDMI are an issue since many years. I had it with an Q95T! Like many other users as well. I don´t think it has to do with bandwith and more with the hardware issues of the chipsets itself or it is a glitch / bug where it switches between RGB spaces. Why? For whatever reason only using RGB Limited / Black Level Low on both, TV & device, was a solution. I personally can´t trust One Conect Box models, because it is a lottery and in my country chance is high that you get black outs. Maybe different produce lines vary here.

[@Dijkertje92]

3:10 This comes from way back: My UE49KS8000 from 2016 (which I am still using) is having this issue, too. I don't think a firmware update would fix this anytime soon, as this is a 8-year (!) running issue apparently.

[@Sean281208]

how this calibration works? just purchased on here in brazil

[@GokuTributeZ]

I´ve seen the TV in store and i not really like the low contrast look with lights on the screen. On the other hand it looks clean and reflections are really muted. But colors and contrast look more flat compared to glossy screens. I think it is really if you have a bright room with some lights and then you get OLED black in a dark room. But i heard that you see some type of glow around objects because of the finish even in a dark room. But i can´t say anything about it.

[@mootsym]

The answer is no- unless you want the anti glare. I stared at this $3400 tv and a $1350 open box S90C at Best Buy. We watch all these comparison videos and look at rtings, but when you see them in person (albeit not the best situation at BB), it’s rrrreally hard to justify spending 2 additional thousands of dollars, for a tv that really doesn’t look all that different outside of the anti-glare- which.. appeared to take away a little contrast to my eye. Some people just want “the best”, but really you’d be hard pressed to know the difference with some of these TVs if someone brought the lesser model in your home and told you it was the most expensive one.

[@MystiqEevee]

Hi Abby 👋 curious as to what you think of the s90c I bought one recently and it arrives may 8 im excited to receive it and learn all it's features but wanted to hear what you and everyone are rtings thinks of it I've watched your video on it but I'm still not sure on some things for example it says the 144hz is only for a PC connected to it but I've heard people use things like PS5 in 144hz? would love to hear the fine details on this if you have any insight thanks!

[@DeffecX]

You can't use 144hz with the PS5 because the PS5 does not support 144hz. It's only for PC since the PC is able to send a 144hz signal. No gaming console supports 144hz.

[@MystiqEevee]

@@DeffecX thanks for the confirmation I did find out it supports 120hz after receiving it and the geek squad got it all mounted and setup I honestly love it so much if I could marry it I would 😂 best 1,500 dollars I've ever spent I don't feel the need to ever buy another TV unless this one like spots turning on or something and even then I would probably try to repair this one before buying a new one that's how much I like it

Hi. I have been using your provided information long time and been greatly thankful. I love the work you do. But i have a question what i have been wondering for while... How much does light sources cause OLED TV´s and monitors lose in contrast. I have heard that even from different sources that its something what OLED´s do and your said same thing with matte coating part. More precise reflections part of review. Where samsung coating eats away contrast for removing some reflections. Is this purely coating part of issue or does all tv´s/monitors suffer this in some aspects. Like i write clear questions in line. Do all TV´s or monitors tech like OLED, QLED, LCD lose contrast from light sources? Do Light sources all tech equally or its more harmful other tech´s or coatings like Matte vs glossy or LCD vs OLED etc. How much does TV or PC monitor lose contrast from light sources hitting screen? Can this be measured or even speculated scientifically? Final question is this. If all this is true or be doable. Should this be one form of measurement you do in reviews. Again. I love the work you do. Hope you could understand what i wrote.... English language is not my native language...

Hello! Our experts are happy to answer detailed questions via our forums on our website! www.rtings.com/forums

[@matheusguedesba]

Perhaps there's an explanation other than "we want your TV to break so you'll buy another one," but I wonder why they don't incorporate some semiconductor metal plates like in many smartphone coolers. The fan is silent, and it would work great underneath or behind. The same goes for laptops. Where I live, it feels like 39°C this year, and generally around 31.9°C. It's very annoying to have to keep the environment cooled all the time or use a specific fan for the screen (my electricity bill appreciates not using the AC for 16 hours a day in more than one room).

[@buschg7106]

My S95B is still stunning even without dolby vision. That said, got a QM8 last year... not spending samsung/LG/Sony money anymore.

Hey, how do I check whether it's a WOLED or QD-OLED Panel? Is there any settings where I see the panel type?

[@olgil]

Use your phone camera, zoom in on the pixels. If theyre arranged in a line its WOLED, if theyre arranged in a triangle its QD-OLED

[@marksalamon619]

Many thanks for your in-depth review. At current prices, the Samsung S90D costs $600 less than the S95D, and the RTINGS side-by-side comparison of these two models shows that they have nearly identical performance (In fact, RTINGS ranks the S90D slightly BETTER for "Mixed Usage", and I agree with that assessment). If I were buying a Samsung QD-OLED this year I'd choose the S90D and save myself some cash. I admit I'm a real fan of the S95D "One Connect" box and I wish more TV manufacturers included that feature in their models, but my frugality still persuades me to opt for the S90D...

[@ThereisNOpandemicWAKEUP]

An extra 440 nits brightness though on the s95d

[@danielkissgremsperger3242]

Ofcourse it doesnt worth it but the tv market is for fools that want the latest even tho they are almost identical to a 3 years old oled

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

Question: Your post calibration settings are those done using professional, expensive equipment or something that a user can do on his own using the settings you publish on your website?

[@OnBakePlatinum]

I've never done this myself but apparently you can use the Smart Thing app on your phone to do a calibration. You have to keep the camera totally still (like in a holder) and lock it in the dark room for 10 minutes

[@ehenningsen]

I just upgraded from the S90C to the S95D. There is a major difference in color vibrancy and brightness, and i can now game with lots of lighting while still getting deep blacks. I couldnt game on the S90C with the lights on.

I think you’re one of those misinformed person who was convinced by some ill informed electronics retail staff with lack of training, who thinks all OLEDs are made by LG. 😂 simple Google will search will tell you Samsung make most of the OLED panels in the world for phone , tablet etc since 2003 and made the first 55 OLED TV in 2012 and LG only makes WOLED for TVs and Samsung make QD OLED which uses quantum dots just like QLED TVs.

Samsung dropped ATSC 3.0. Still wont support Dolby Vision. No DTS audio codecs. The one connect box is limited to 40gbps not 48. But is that a big deal?

[@kensingtonwick]

I does the TV’s. It so good. I hook up VCR to the TV’s. It look so good. I like it. It really nice.

[@bruceparker3139]

how funny it is that samsung marketed s95D with anti reflective tech yet it receives poor score than LG G4 or even C4 which are pure gloss panel😂😂

[@user-ct8zg4nb3g]

A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones????

[@100_JAB]

Yeah dead on arrival for me, ads, no DV, no DTS, 40Gbps. the one connect box is cool but for the price I need support for everything even if I only use those features rarely

[@richardcerritelli9657]

No 83 inch no deal

[@kineahora8736]

If I were taking *EVERYTHING* into account, and there were no extenuating circumstances, my choices this year would be between a new LG G4 and a discounted clearance Samsung S90C. However, I kinda need the S95 because of panel thickness (I need as close to 3/16” thick as possible) panel height on the 65” model (I need as close as possible to 32.0” high), and compatibility with Spectrum streaming TV app. So it’s really down to current S95D (better newer gen 3 panel) and s95C (cheaper price and glossy screen, but older tech panel with less brightness)… The S90 series has a SUPER thin 3/16” panel, but it’s useless because the center bottom of the panel has that 1.5” thick box attached that goes all the way to the bottom of the TV! If that were just raised 3” off the bottom at least the TV could be mounted in a small hole in the wall (which I already have)! The S95 is 3/8” thick but no clunky box at the back to screw things up. LG W-OLED tech has much thicker panels…

S89C

[@kineahora8736]

@@trewright1482 I had assumed those S89 were out of stock at this point (which retailer sold these? Costco? Best Buy?). But it just doesn’t matter. Unless I’m getting a 55 inch, I need the completely flat back. Basically, I have a geometry issue with the way I have my wall set up … I’m actually looking into seeing how thick the Sony A95L is-dammit it’s well over 1” thick. If I go 65” (bigger than the hole in my wall) I simply must get an S95 C or D. No choice at all. Everything else is too thick!

[@mstreich]

I just don’t see how you can give the S90D a higher score given these two pictures. 7:28

[@OnBakePlatinum]

I agree, the S90D is basically a mirror like any other glossy screen

[@syaqattaq90]

Glossy screen improves perceived contrast and sharpness. Matte screen cheapens the OLED experience with perceived lower contrast, making it look slightly blurry. Bad move on Samsung for making their highest end product the matte one.

[@simonchasnovsky1835]

The matte coating is just Samsung sending us a message: "Do not buy this lol the S90 is much cheaper and essentially the same"

[@alsayedfakhri4597]

So the a95L is still top dog?

[@RTINGSdotcom]

They're similar TVs but excel in different areas! The A95L has better processing for low-quality and low-resolution content, so lower-quality streams or DVDs look better on it. It also has better PQ EOTF tracking, so it's more accurate in HDR. However, the S95D has better color volume, so it can display colors in HDR a bit brighter. When it comes to gaming, the S95D has lower input lag for a more responsive experience, and it supports up to 4k @ 144Hz for PC gamers with high-end graphics cards.

Samsung has a feature where you can use the rough calibration using your Samsung or iPhone which improves calibration a lot and is a very easy process in settings

It's absurd to spend this much on a TV and not get dolby vision because Samsung doesn't want to spend a couple bucks on a chip for it. No way.

[@madpistol]

I don't think that's the reason. Based on my experience, Dolby Vision is fantastic if you're after a pure, cinematic experience. Samsung, being Samsung, thinks they can do HDR better, so they choose to forego the limitations set by Dolby Vision. In some cases, I think HDR10(+) looks better. In others, DV is superior.

[@dawudjibreel6075]

Once you realise why Dolby Vision was made and what it actually does, you realise that its not essential in recent high end TVs and doesnt necessarily equate to a better picture. Dont be fooled by the marketing hype, Stop the FOMO does an amazing breakdown on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maaphKeVZdqFgaM Dont miss out on good TVs because of a misconception.

A95l has a heatsink so it dosent get as hot, its 1.4 inch thick but its wall mount is flatter, i dont think 0.1 inch matters in a room

[@SENCORE_ISF]

Abby, HDTV Test, just posted a review of the S95D. They reported a peak brightness at a 10% window of over 1740 NITS. Crucially they did not discuss address or mention excessive heat or thermal throttling. Are you or your team aware if this issue has been addressed via a firmware update perhaps?

[@marcuscole8796]

Other than RTINGS ... VT doesn't buy his stuff (test samples) ... he is sponsored by a tv dealer (who ofc is NOT independant from tv manufacturers) ... bottom line: VT's video is nothing more than a sales message VERY well disguised by his huge expertise and experience. These 1,740 nits are only possible due to a testscreen detection fraud ... the tv thermal throttles after 30 secs. ... all the way down to 193 nits ... and never recovers. Stick to RTINGS findings ... they are more detailled ... and (more important) much more trustworthy these days...

[@PaulWinkle]

The matte anti-glare is exciting for bright rooms

[@WiljanWiljan]

Have the s95d at home, and the quality is really excellent. The matte looks also extremely professional, and causes no problems during day or night. Dolby vision support is not needed since this tv is already very bright with true hdr. Nobody will know and see any difference. So is it better then the g4....yes in many ways. And no problems at all with overheating, no problems at all with the one connect box

[@scarlett806]

I will stick with my S95C another year. Nothing enticing me to "upgrade" in 2024. Certainly not the matte S95D, and the G4 is still WOLED.

[@syaqattaq90]

Matte is a downgrade for sure.

[@ios759]

No Dolby Vision,No DTS,matte screen,thermal throttling during high brightness.Not worth it still.LG g4 much better choice for now.
