SAMSUNG S90D QD-OLED 77" REVIEW! VALUE ELITE!

The SAMSUNG S90D QD-OLED at 77" is the star of today's video. The S90D is a 2nd generation Quantum Dot Oled and has excellent picture quality in all forms of content, including gaming.
The S90D 77" was sent to me for review by SAMSUNG Electronics for 30 days for this review. Samsung has no input or influence on this review.
You can purchase the S90D from our good friends at Value Electronics valueelectronics.com/ or call them directly at 914 723 3344 and ask for Robert or Wendy and please mention Brian at BRIAN'S TECH THERAPY.

Samsung just lowered the prices on the 77" S90D to $3,299. and the 65" S90D is now $2,299. and we are still offering our excluxive launch promo that gifts our cleints with a 5% store credit w/any S90D purchase. These sale prices end on July 7.

This is the best most in depth review I’ve seen of this tv. Earned a subscriber

[@thetrumanshow4791]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tv for my bedroom at night. Will absolutely be picking this one up in the 77" for my master bedroom in just a few months!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Awesome! It's excellent! Thank you for watching

[@electriceyeslide5959]

Excellent review. Samsung has it for an insane $2799 right now! It's a $3600 TV.

[@eiksman]

Love your videos man. So relaxing and informative too. Currently planning on going for a A95L (77") or LG G4 (83") or Bravia 9 (85"). Will keep watching your videos until later this year and decide for myself after I saw them in person in a store. Keep up the great work!

[@undone14]

Wassup my brother Brian! I don't know if you remember my comment in your 42C4 video; I was conflicted about if I should upgrade from a 42C2 to a 42C4 or get one of those 32" QD OLED monitors. At the time, I felt a 55" would be too big so it was out of the question. I liked how TV's have the smart features, etc. You recommended a 48C4 and was a great suggestion. I ended up getting it but then a bit over 3 weeks later, there was an offer I couldn't refuse! Long story short, I got the 55S90D for $1086 with tax! (EPP + discounts during memorial day weekend). Surprisingly I was able to make the 55" work in my gaming/work desk! I was and still am blown away! I still have the 48C4 (for now), a 77A80J and a 77C9 in my home and they all look amazing still, but the QD-OLED is next level! The brightness and the colors are unbelievable! To say I'm happy with my purchase would be an understatement! My next TV that will replace my living room tv will be a QD OLED!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Awesome choice, my friend! Thank you so much for following up! Enjoy as it's awesome!

[@Whitewolf_1186]

You honestly can’t beat what this awesome tv gives you for the price. I got mine when it was on sale right out the gate, which added even more value, and I’m SO happy with it. Needs some fine tuning because out of box quality isn’t great, but my god it looks stunning when you finally get it adjusted to your own personal tastes. Love hearing how it holds up against some of the other big guns out there as well 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Whitewolf_1186]

Ps. Movie mode is far and away the best preset, and the most detailed when it comes to customization. Only other preset I use is game mode for PS5, but it’s movie mode for everything else 👌🏻

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Awesome so glad you are loving it!!

[@CarlosMartinez-mr1qb]

Great Review!!!

[@TVNorway]

Thanks for another great video, all respect from Norway as usual. 😊 I wondered if you know what Panels are sold in Brazil? Samsung here didn’t know, which don’t give me comfort and I am so on the fence get the S90C in case it comes with 14XX, always a worry get a tv not being in control when to stop update. 😅 All my TVs been bought or tested at release so this time I am a little insecure. 😊 Hope all is well there and wish you a great week 😊

[@Icipher4]

Wow great video. Really makes md want the s90d.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@SteveSmith-cm1hx]

All I will say is if your buying a Samsung tv make sure you get an extended warranty. Great video Brian.

[@Lozin80]

I actually think this is a great starting point for QD-OLED and I’ve been very impressed with the 90 series, unless you need the bigger size. Also the music track playing in the beginning is so familiar I swear I heard it in one of the games that I just played.

[@michaelfoster3441]

Saw the B9 in person contrast is no where good enough for me , I take infinite contrast over brightness every time . Great job Brian

[@thenonexistinghero]

In-store TV's usually look awful with poor settings and poor viewing conditions. There's also no such thing as infinite contrast.

[@craighopkins4496]

agree self emissive oled beats B9

[@whitecrowuk575]

@@thenonexistingherothere is such thing as infinite contrast. When a pixel is tuned off it’s infinitely black and you cannot calculate a contrast with something that equals 0.

[@djbpresents9584]

Listen I tend to agree, u know I noticed cause I got a u7k, I thought I wanted bigger size replace a c1, so I'm watching u7k few days it looks good HDR videos etc cool sure, and black in those reference videos are black as black can be, but went back to c1 turned on Ultron animated movie on Netflix, dude those HDR videos do not represent real world content, just colors, the black hair and eyebrows on OLED it's incrediable how far apart oled and u7k is, OLED gives u so much contrast and black u don't even realize it

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@whitecrowuk575 You couldn't be more wrong. Contrast is the difference between the lowest and the highest. Even if OLED was capable of 0 blackness, it still wouldn't have a better contrast than LED because the difference between 0 and 1000 is still far smaller than the difference between 1 and 3000. OLED has an advantage when it comes to contrast ratio, not contrast. And it's still a pretty minor advantage compared to top-end leds which are capable since that's only noticable when relatively bright parts are against relatively dark parts or when the bright parts are so small that the miniLEDs are not capable of dimming it. Main advantage of OLED would be the pixel precision which has some pretty noticable benefits when gaming (at least for now. Probably not noticable in a few years when the dimming speed is significantly faster). The amount of blackness is still limited to the blackness of the screen itself. And some of the new OLED techs have actually have raised black levels as a result that even with their pixels turned off still have higher black levels than modern top-end LEDs. If OLEDs black levels were perfect black, then there wouldn't be so many issues with reflection because perfect black does not reflect, it absorbs all light. Anyhow, order for the contrast ratio to be infinite, the screen has to be perfect black. And since that's not the case, it's not infinite.

[@stevec6857]

Brian, Thanks again for your reviews. I watch all the time Yesterday I purchased the Samsung S90C 77” for $1899.99. Did I make a mistake and should I have purchased the 77” S90D for $3,499.99 or possibly have waited for the price to drop? Thanks so much, Steve

Got 65S90C , gaming is perfect , with pc , no black screens no other glitches , With RTX4070super. Yes its is a bit choppy at times, but that oled blacks and color are really amazing , will stick for now, it would be nice if Samsung boosted its oled with better processors , would love to see how much better these oleds become.

As with any of theses Samsungs, make sure you do buy an extended warranty. My S95B died after 18months of use. It was not used heavily either.

[@ehenningsen]

Hiya Brian, looking forward to your review. I was leaning towards the G4 and QN900D until i saw both head to head with the S90D, S90C and S95d - i had written off the S95D until then. I am now going to get it. QD-OLED is the real deal

[@johanmelis12]

Unless you live in Europe and scamsung rewards you with woled instead of qd oled😅

[@Displays.1234.]

G4 still looks much better

[@Trp1992]

Is it better then the s95C or LG G3? (77Inch)?

[@ehenningsen]

@JLT3ch I've seen the difference between the B9 and S90D for gaming. The B9 is a monster TV that is premium, but the visual quality of the S90D, S95D and A95L is too much for the B9 amd G4 in gaming. Color luminance in QD-OLED is such a superior uplift that it really stands out. That said, if color luminance isn't important to you - then the other options become very viable

[@ehenningsen]

@@Trp1992 I would wait to upgrade if you already have those sets. G3 is a really good TV and the S95C isn't far back enough to recommend upgrading from. I'd say a few more years minimum before upgrading

[@hemieed1]

Hi Brian, I'm at a dilemma . I know you have the x80l 83" . I truly cant decide between the x80l 83" or the bravia 9 85". I'm going to order later tonight or in the morning. Between you and fomo, i just can't decide, lol 😂. Help Thanks darrell

[@james007bray]

S90D or Bravia8? Seems like a80L is a better value over both

[@rahulm5985]

Hey the 55” uk model - is this a WOLED OR A QOLED Panel? Thanks

[@1969TxCowboy1]

Will be waiting to see if this goes on sale for 4th of July or Labor Day. I need a new TV for football season.

[@mgaming7]

Brian. if I hook AppleTV up to the tv. Which device is upscaling? the AppleTV or the TV? I am affraid to leave Sony because I watch a lot of 1080p content. Sometimes 720p even.

[@Soldier-cu7hx]

Would you recommend this over the S95C is the question?, I personally would like the one connect for cord organization but if the S90D has noticeably better picture and processing I might consider sacrificing

[@polishdude001]

No the s90d is better than it actually in processing brightness and colour. It’s the better value

[@Icipher4]

Would a 90's movie, say Jurassic Park or Terminator 2, be considered "low bitrate" content? I hear Samsung isn't great at low bitrate, but then this tv was well reviewed for it's upscaling ability. Someone help me out here because I am confused.

[@romeoguitar]

My current TVs are X900F, Q7FN and TCL QM8, Love QM8 but upscaling on that is rubbish, and I would be changing picture setting every time I change content,. Would you say QN800D 8k worth it ? or S90D if they were the same price ? mainly watching you tube, low bit content, normal room and sports .

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

The S90D is excellent and vert vibrant. However, the QN800D has superior upscaling of all content

[@davidross7255]

Hey Brian, what do you think about the G4 vs the S90D as far as picture quality?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I'd still favor the G4 as it is brighter and has the new Alpha 11 processor. Thank you for watching

[@Trp1992]

Is it better then the s95C or LG G3? (77Inch)?
