Samsung Failed CES 2025

[@Animalwon]

I agreewith you - Samsung does NOT listen to its customers. I attribute that to arrogance that will lead to their downfall. I see them giving up their throne to a company like Hisense.

[@ss4vegita]

They should have just made two versions. S95F Glossy and S95FM Matt. That way people can chose for them selves and avoid the complaints. Looking Sharp Q😎

[@Quantum_TV]

Exactly bro. Thanks man😁👍

[@HeavyKilluminati]

The inventory will be messed up Q

[@ersawjp1]

One of ex-samsung employee sad: we was not allowed to say matte screen, instead must use term anti glare technology.

[@MrMjolnir009]

Samsung NEVER listens to their customer base! Even with their flagship phones... For years, customers begged them for larger batteries, wider width on their foldable phones, fsster charging speeds (on par with rival phone companies), a headphone jack, an IR blaster.... and what has Samsung done for the past 4 years?? They've given us NONE Zof those things!!!

[@Sir_Mack]

Dude nobody wants a headphone jack and ir blaster on their phone. What are you blabbering about?....

[@MrHenriksan]

​​@@Sir_Mack headphone jack is one of the most request feature that people want back on their smart phone

[@Sir_Mack]

@MrHenriksan it maybe for you but I've never heard anyone asking for it lol. Headphone jacks??? Let it go man those days are long gone lol

[@Quantum_TV]

I do....?

[@Quantum_TV]

You do realize audio enthusiasts want headphones Jack's because auxiliary is cleaner than Bluetooth right? I literally converted the usb c port to auxiliary for this reason.

[@jpmaximus]

Where are the sizes for the normal consumer? It seems all these companies are showing off their 100 inch Plus models. Thats not really a reality for alot of people buying.

[@Quantum_TV]

Exactly. It's all about the rich

[@dalewiley9208]

Brother, you nailed it…again. And Samsung’s customer service sucks big time.

[@Camarobill]

Regrettably, I must allocate my funds towards the 2026 models.

[@EDGARGARCIA-pj2vd]

I saw Caleb Dennison’s review of the S95D and at the end of the video, he sent a message to Samsung not to bring back the matte finish. Pretty sure that happened.

[@AndrewJohnWard]

"They're tone deaf on Dolby Vision" but you said DV doesn't matter

[@Quantum_TV]

It doesn't. But people still want it so why not listen?

[@jaylox6132]

Dolby doesn't matter spec wise, but the name sales

[@armylrs2391]

I always thought semi-gloss was a good middle of the road filter technology.

[@MirelRC]

Another day‚ another moment to remember why I do call them Scamsung.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

🫡 I thought d same thing !!! Matte again !!! 😮

[@Thegoodsherman2]

It's simple.. As long as Samsung uses matte displays, I have absolutely no interest 🤷

[@KG-un8uy]

Completely agree I was really excited about a non glare coated s95 and an 83 inch qd

[@ridvan190333]

As long as they continue to use matte panels, the S95 series seems to show itself from behind a curtain

[@kevin-zd4po]

But they did give us the next gen processor and better speakers.and 165 refresh for gamers like myself.

[@MotoInvestor]

Thinking about cancelling my order for the s90D 77" in favor of the TCL 8 series 75" screen. Both are the same price. I got the s90d for 1495 shipped to my door. No way I will buy a matt finished screen. I hated Samsung and moved to apple phones due to the "curved" screens that crack when looked at sideways. No case could protect them, and I despised their design from day one. It took years for Samsung to ditch the design, and I am now an Apple user that likely won't switch back...ever. Still rocking my 2012 Panasonic 65vt60 television. Still has incredible imaging for a 1080P set that is 40,000 hrs runtime old.

[@JoshRazauskas]

The thing I think that Samsung is betting on is just ignorance. Most people won’t know that a matte finish effects contrast that much. I consider myself to be very well, educated and very well-versed in TV technology now since being a part of the membership here but even that was something that I didn’t know about until you clearly explained why you should’ve went for the S90D in 2024 before the update that screwed it up and that’s exactly what I did and why I did it. So from their corporate standpoint, they’re probably thinking people will hear the words anti-glare and think that’s a good thing. They are probably wanting to cater to the lowest common denominator/the masses then the educated/enthusiast which is such a shame because before they did put out the update the S90D is the most beautiful TV I’ve ever seen and I’m very glad that I own it with your calibration standards to show why! It sucks that they’ve taken this approach because this is how companies begin to fail and their downfall will be no one‘s fault but their own!

[@Quantum_TV]

Exactly! They treat us all like dumb dumbs. Sadly most truly don't realize they ate being robbed contrast.

[@itwasntoptional2513]

You’re absolutely correct. A lot of consumers gravitated toward the S95D for “glare free”

[@Samsaraslug]

@@JoshRazauskas hey what did the update do? i have an s90 d but always kept it offline bcause i use it fir my pc as a display

[@JoshRazauskas]

@ I keep mine offline too but Q was forced updated by mistake. Go back and find that video. He explains everything that happened.

[@D0UBLE-R]

I purchased S90D on 11/2/24 and have never updated. Was mine shipped with the nerf pre-installed?? **Firmware 1120**

[@Hippydaze35]

yeh it is weird they chose to sale upcoming models like this. And it is a choice, because in a recent interview the guy from Samsung Display highlighted that the panels are NOT manufactured that way, they send them out as clear screens.

[@summerforever6736]

Purple rain!! Great song

[@Quantum_TV]

Hell yeah! Prince is so legendary! Little Red Corvette too!

[@arckanum332]

I want a bigger tv, currently have 65" s95b which has been wonderful. Hopefully LG G5 is close enough to the color satuaration of the QD-OLEDS

[@johnlerma9753]

I just wanted to tell u I have a samsung s90c and I have turn off software updates off. Well just right now it updated it self even though it is turned off. That really upsets 😡 me

[@Quantum_TV]

Damn.....they're getting everyone with this trick

[@MattyDaddy14]

Wow really? I got the notice on my QN90C but it hasn’t updated. It shows the new version is there but gotta be careful not to accidentally hit update when it pops up on screen 🎉

[@johnlerma9753]

@MattyDaddy14 i got the notice i closed it but it did it automatically by itself.

[@niklasgs1470]

What tv would you recommend from last year?

[@UnhappySanta]

Bro imagine if TCL or Hisense rolled out their Oleds. It would be so over for LG and Samsung. Any idea why they haven’t done that yet? I’m sure they’d sell like hotcakes. Budget, but premium Oleds. Imagine

[@Pavasoz]

Dude love the vids and sick suit

[@Quantum_TV]

Glad to have you here. Thanks man

[@lpromer4796]

Hi Q! What do you think of the new Hisense TVs and their rgb mini led technology being announced right now at CES?

[@Dirtywhtboy87930]

I wouldn’t buy new tech in the first year out. Buy the second generation, so hopefully they got all the bugs fixed!

[@lpromer4796]

@ 👍🏼

[@shadowbotz4293]

Waiting on TCL’s flagship 98” MiniLED this year. The big 3 have been disappointing so far…

[@kcstereo]

I Agree!

[@lorddrifter7296]

Tryna use them left over panels from last year probably

[@ataghomateddy2896]

Love your analysis always keeping it real.

[@lonster6865]

What a disappointment! I was all set to go all in on the Samsung this year. Phone, TV, Soundbar etc. but after They Nerfed their S90d snd now this. Im out. Probably never going back to Samsung.

[@JosueLopez-kg9ns]

Are the AI features coming to the S90D as well? Like Vision AI and such?

[@msco1705]

Samsung has to sale tvs beyond 2025 they know what they are doing!!

[@TimothyTurtle32]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Flat boring screen. My guess is Samsung Marketing got opinions from the general public as the thought of gloss means prints and cleaning. Samsung seems to be persistent not listening to those who matter. Just like the curved large TV mistake. Awesome that you speak your mind and I am thankful for that!!

[@lularoeamynjeff4585]

Maybe they’re using it because it kinda hides imaging processing issues! 🤯

[@Quantum_TV]

That's not a thing lol

[@itsjusti4262]

Hey Q!!! Still got my s95b from day 1, was thinking of replaceing it as it about 4 or 5 years old. With gaming in mind what is absolute best tv out? Please and thank you.

[@Bibfive5]

Me too ! Still with my S95B since 2022 ! And still enjoying it 100% ! 🤩👌 But this TV is only 2 years old+ not 4-5… or you mean you will change when your S95B will be 4-5 years old ? For my part I will change my S95B when PS6 will shows its official specs, and when HDMI 2.2 will be on new TVs I guess 🤔

[@joeylogan5469]

If Samsung doesn't get there act together President Trump will embargo there azzs.

[@saerosowns6961]

im really tempted to sell off my s90d and get an hisense to be honest at this point after what u said about it. and probably my last samsung tv im gonna buy since they screwed my tv with an update and now this... i used to like samsung but the more i experience it the more i regret my s90 specially after the update that screw my purchase. but ill remember when new tvs come out and samsung ill be looking at other companys who actially care about giving customers good product and listens to complaints instead of doubling down on it.

[@Quantum_TV]

If you sell it, go tcl. They seem to be taking things very seriously

[@saerosowns6961]

@@Quantum_TV yeah and right after i know exactly where to come to get my calibration ;) 🥰

[@cebuch.]

tcl and hisense ftw

[@deafmouse-]

if they anti-glare did not sell well, they wouldn't have launched it on every tv. clearly people want it and you can still buy glossy screens from other brands.

[@Quantum_TV]

That's not how these things work. That's like saying not having dolby vision sells well, so they should omit it every year.

[@deafmouse-]

@@Quantum_TV but Dolby vision is over hyped. The best looking 4k Blu Rays released do not even come with DV and it still blows you away, that should tell you something. Side by side comparisons show DV is not always the best presentation, we talking about maybe a 5% difference at most to the picture anyways? panel quality is way more important

[@ryszardurbanczyk3709]

I do love it 😂 I have s95d 77 , I had lg cx and c1 they were very dark in my living room

[@l7fernandez]

So, if you had the S95D and was still in the return period, would you swap it out for a G4?

[@kevstart]

Both are really good tv’s, so you’d be happy with either one

[@l7fernandez]

@ Thanks for the reply.

[@swervobandz3932]

Im more excited for if Hisense fixed their motion and bugs with the new AI chip

[@brandonsteinsdoerfer4447]

Idk, the matte black finish is trash, but if the S90F really does have a 30% increase in brightness in a 10% window.. It has the 3rd gen processor from the S95D as well. IF... it doesnt also carry over that terrible Extreme Thermal throttle in the 10% window like the s95D has... well, im all in.

[@IB1GMANI]

Thanks for keeping it real bro

[@Quantum_TV]

Any time brother. Thanks for being one of the few who appreciate honesty!😁👍

[@patrickneal9639]

Quantum, are you going to review s90f. After you review would you recommend me just buy s90d even though there was nerf on the contrast or just buy the new s90f

[@tbecket4890]

Never understood why Samsung sticks to no Dolby Vision? One can argue the pros or cons of it and if its even implemented right but to have budget brands carry the feature along with their main competitors and in return shy away from it is baffling.

[@DieselGuy199]

Purchased an S90D for that reason.

[@lld401]

So its seem TCL 2025 for the win?

[@DarkLionn83]

HDMI 2.2 is coming this year. 2.1 is almost done, so there is no reason to buy new TVs this year.

[@paQ75]

In fact, to see a real breakthrough in motion clarity TVs should be at least 480hz. I have an LG C1 and with the BFI on at 120hz it looks much less blurry on motion than any other current TV.

[@marcsondlucce]

Nah, bru, the s95f is an awesome tv! It will sell very well. I'll be getting the 65 inch💯🔥😎

[@Quantum_TV]

Tvs in the $3299 price range for a 65in don't sell well.

[@ryszardurbanczyk3709]

I like matt screen ! I have s95d 77

[@codydavidson877]

I was listening to people talk about how good it was and i was curious so i watched the video and in the video you can see the crappy matte making that screen look like an ips screen. It was really funny. I think was the avs forum video

[@mpearce820]

So they skipped E? Go figure

[@Karol-g9d]

s90c got patched 2020.2 wow . thank you samsung. gaming mode original on xbox serie x digital , hdr going from 60 hertz to 120 hertz ? good work

[@summerforever6736]

Nice suit boss

[@Quantum_TV]

Thanks! 👌😏

[@Displays.1234.]

I do not see life in matte.....

[@ridvan190333]

S95F lost because it used a matte screen. The 2025 winner is already LG G5

[@warlordhax5995]

45 seconds in yep sounds about right ssdd

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

I miss S95C it was Samsung‘s best tv ever

[@paulcanniff4308]

D is better.

[@summerforever6736]

Micro LED

[@Quantum_TV]

Not work it yet

[@RC-mz2oe]

😢

[@Displays.1234.]

99 % of people would pick a glossy screen every time, Matt is dreadful all it does is lower the contrast and give very poor Black's, Samsung have lost the plot again.....

[@biggesttboss]

No horrible
