The big screen tv we’ve been waiting for years… I yearn for a bright lively panel and oled blacks… but damn no Dolby vision… might have to squeeze out money for the a95l

[@MapleMaestro]

Honestly it's not really worth it nowadays especially for what the price difference will be. The 1500+ nits in colour and whites that it has already been tested at you end up not really needing DV as much because the TV can tone map really well already.

[@polishdude001]

@@MapleMaestro I’ve been hearing the same thing… technically we’re still in the HDR war… my ks9000 has really impactful HDR, but my Sony oled has more depth when it comes to content. So I guess I really want a bright Dolby vision oled… I’ll wait till they come out and hit best buy

[@AusOpening]

I’ve never understood Dolby vision. HDR 10+ for movies is excellent already as it is and most games don’t even support DV. It’s not so much a dealbreaker as people make it up to be

[@thomas9982]

3:01 I certainly hope the OS, the menu and the remote are better than last year's model. For a high-end TV it's pretty crappy that it asks you to do "screen optimisation" the moment you turn on the TV giving you 1 minute to cancel it. This should happen when you switch the TV off, or when the TV switches off by itself ?! The home screen is loaded with bloatware that you can't get rid of which making the UI crawl like a turtle when you start the TV. There is some generous room for improvement.

[@Emenems71]

Which one I should buy S90c or s95c. I dont care about ono conncect box. Its gonna be wall mounted with samsung soundbar. Is it worth paying extra for 95c? Why, whats worth paying extra, or just pick cheaper s90c? I want 77inch version.

[@abtelectronics]

@Emenems71 The S95C comes with a better panel from the factory, offers a better/brighter picture, a better audio system if you plan on using the Q Symphony feature with your soundbar, and a One Connect box. If you feel like those are features you'll take advantage of then we say go with the S95C. If not, the S90C is still a great TV and you'll be happy with that picture too.

[@Em_Dee_Aitch]

We have a 2018 Q9FN, and for the most part, I’ve been happy with it. We bought it because of its recommendation for moderately bright daytime viewing, as well as our off angle seating positions. I suppose I would still like it a bit brighter, and I’m sure the new stuff is, but my major complaint is that some movie scenes are so dark that you can’t see anything without changing setting mid movie. So, do I want this S95C or a Sony X93L?

[@abtelectronics]

@mdhomiak The Q9FN was actually considered one of the better TVs for watching dark scenes. Are you only changing the picture mode when this happens, or have you tried adjusting the local dimming settings or shadow details? Those settings may just need to be tweaked a little to give you a much better experience. That being said, both the S95C and X93L are great for dark scene viewing, but the S95C will produce deeper blacks and have no light blooming around bright objects because it uses OLED technology.

[@cristianmarginean49]

Why does the 55 inch version only have three circles (the place for the speakers) on each side at the back, while the 65 and 77 inch versions have four circles on each side at the back. Is the sound system somehow weaker on the 55 inch version?

[@Accuaro]

Why is TizenOS so laggy though

[@abtelectronics]

@Accuaro We actually found the TizenOS to be pretty responsive on the S95C, and the QN90C for that matter. Some of it has to do with the processor in the TV, and some has to do with the WiFi connection. We've found if the WiFi connection isn't strong we see a lot more lag.

[@djfields1]

I just wish I was Dolby vision. I would get it.

[@abtelectronics]

@djfields1 We wouldn't let that be the deciding factor. There's a good amount of content available in HDR 10+, and the catalog is growing. You can find content on services like Hulu, Prime Video, KZbin, and Paramount + currently. If you live in the Chicagoland area you can stop by our store and check it out in person. It really is an amazing picture! Plus we have free, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies on the weekends :-)

[@VivaLaFamous]

This tv looks good! And I was considering to buy it for awhile now. But I’m leaning more towards the 77 inch LG G3. Heat sink, Dolby vision, wi fi 6. And the S95B was completely ruined by constant updates last year. I’m scared it’ll happen again with this model

[@ktms1188]

I don’t think you owned a s95b and are going off talking points. Not trying to be mean just saying don’t trust people who have to make you watch to make money. The g3 has mla that boost the white subpixel only. That allows for bright white, but not all the color and volume. They do that to get nits, but color brightness is what makes you say wow. The Wi-Fi 6 adapter built in has no real world benefits as you don’t game from tv, rather through Xbox’s, etc… They are all goodmtvs though but IMHO the S95C is the best as it stands with the high color volume by a large volume at higher brightness.

Correct if wrong, but G3 will be brighter in white but not color. Regardless these are amongst the best consumer tvs so they are all phenomenal.

[@MapleMaestro]

It's hard to say. It's said to have tested slightly brighter in whites, but colour volume is still way lower, and they're going to be offered at identical pricing range. Unless you want the gallery style on the wall, the S95C will probably perform better overall as it did last year against the G2.

[@gregdebacker4998]

@Abt Electronics On the Samsung site it says, "Two or more views are supported by the QN900B and QN800B models." With those models being from last year I'm kind of surprised TVs from this year don't support it so it's only the QN900B or C and QN800B or C models that support it?

[@abtelectronics]

@gregdebacker4998 It likely has to do with the resolution of the screens. The QN800 and 900B and C are 8K TVs, while the S95C is only 4K.

No thanks. Already reports of the back panels on these tv's being dented and warped in some spots not to mention Samsung has backed off their initial claim of the tv hitting 2000 nits brightness which honestly wouldnt be a big deal to me. But what is a big deal to me is Samsungs lack of Quality control. Went through 3 S95B'S. 2 bent screens and the third one just went completely dead. I am sticking with my C1 for a few years before I make any move to upgrade. I am going to be concentrating on the audio side of things.

[@MapleMaestro]

Can't speak on the bent panel thing again for 2023, but in terms of the brightness stuff, you have to remember Samsung Display (not Samsung Electronics) rated this panel at 2000 nits. When they buy the panels, just like LG from LG Display or Sony from either, they can do whatever they want with it. Samsung Electronics never advertised the actual tv to hit 2000 nits

[@DonGlassjr]

I already lost $1500.00 to Samsung on a QLED 65" that had a bad panel only after TWO years. So $4500.00 for a TV? No thanks, just like cell phones it's getting ridiculous. Especially when a company wont stand behind there products.

[@stephenpatterson8056]

The benefits of dynamic metadata HDR such as DV and HDR10+ really shrink, if not disappear entirely with a display tech such as QD-OLED. Perfect black levels, high peak brightness and color volume negates the need for dynamic metadata because the display is already well capable of displaying the entire fixed metadata range of most HDR productions

[@YONAHDAD]

[@tears2040]

@@YONAHDAD HDR10+ is an open format that is FREE, if anything you should applaud Samsung for this. Dolby Vision is the problem because they are not an open format. Also metadata can be read by Apple TV hardware/software application and display properly. Amazon, KZbin, even Hulu support and disable 4k HDR 10+

[@stephenpatterson8056]

@@OctaviusGeorge At that point we'll all need new displays anyway lol. For the time being though with 12 bit not being a factor, DV itself is a nothing burger for these types of highly capable displays. If we were swimming in 4,000 nit films and shows then maybe DV would make more sense. But hardly anything is authored that bright. Hell it's still not even a majority of movies authored at 1,000 nits. So, a QD-OLED display is capable of basically perfectly rendering almost all HDR10 content. No dynamic metadata needed. But yeah everybody has gotten it in their head that EVERY new TV just MUST have DV. Honestly I think Samsung is smart to not include it because they know this particular display tech just wouldn't benefit from it and including it would simply drive costs up for no reason
