    When it comes to fine tuning, I recently used the SmartThings Smart Calibration tool on my QN90B with my Galaxy S10e. Holy crap what a difference! Colours are balanced, whites look white, and blacks have separation. Skin tones look realistic, and no more yellowish tinge on cheek and forehead highlights. SDR is defaulted to 150 nits, but I found it a bit dim still, so I bumped it to 200 nits. It's perfect... I can still see details in dim scenes. It also does HDR now. It looks absolutely fantastic! I wish I did this a year ago.

    For the 77" you should definitely get the s89c, as it's an incredible value. I hated mine for a solid month. It's not great out of the box and I really struggled getting picture settings that I liked. But eventually, it clicked, and I love it now. There are specific situations where the motion isn't the best, but overall, it's a great tv for the price. Most people complaining about consistent lousy upscaling and motion probably don't even own the tv.

    Hi Abby. You mentioned in your review the automatic brightness limiter. Does the limiter kick on only in certain situations? How does the algorithm work?

  • @RTINGSdotcom

    @RTINGSdotcom

    2 ай бұрын

    The Automatic Brightness Limiter significantly dims bright highlights when they take up a large portion of the screen. So scenes with a lot of bright areas, like a bright sunny day at the beach or sports like hockey, are significantly dimmer on this TV than they are on a non-OLED panel!

    I wish you would have talked more about motion processing. I own the S90C and it's a phenomenal TV in virtually every way but it has far worse motion processing than my friends old LG CX. Basically for those sensitive to motion the combination of OLED's instant response and this TV's mediocre processing can make some shows and movies unbearable to watch, even with the optional motion interpolation. I had hoped I could get used to it but this problem is basically forcing me to get an LG C3 as the G3 is simply out of my budget.

For some 24fps content the TV is fine but especially content with constant motion (like shows filmed with handheld cameras) it's nearly unwatchable with the constant stuttering even with de-judder raised as high as one can go without introducing SOE. Motion is a very personal setting so it's not going to be the same for everyone. My partner cannot tell the difference between his CX and my S90C when it comes to motion however it's very clear to me that with some content there is no setting that makes motion okay for me on my S90C whereas on his TV I can generally always find something that makes me happy with the very same content.

    Hey all, need a bit of help I have the qn90a 55" and was looking to upgrade to the qn95c but noticed its actually a worse screen than the qn90a. So was looking into the s95c but with the one connect box issues I'm not willing to take the chance at £1700 so is the s90c really worth upgrading to or is it best to wait for this year's tv's to release? BTW I prefer samsung over other brands.

    Can you explain why you want or really even need Dolby Vision on an OLED? The fact is people don't even know what they need to get what they want. Literally the only difference Dolby Vision makes is per scene adjustments that a good TV simply doesn't need, regular HDR looks just as good on a good TV because it can handle displaying any image properly with a wide min/max set for the whole title, it's simply not important at all. I have a Samsung without DV and another high end TV with it and I don't notice a difference between DV and regular HDR on the Samsung mini LED and since OLED is even better it just doesn't matter.

The only time it actually matters is for 4K blu-rays, which is super niche. And even then, nobody can tell the difference. HDR is a gimmick for the most part anyway.

It also has better low-quality content smoothing than the Samsung, making it better for watching streaming content, especially in low-bitrate situations.

    If you buy this TV, make sure to TURN OFF PICTURE OPTIMIZATION. It shifts the whole screen unreasonably blue and gives you just two picture modes "Eye comfort" and "optimized" both are very blue. This setting is not under picture but under General & Privacy -> intelligent Mode Settings. You can't change it on Tizen you have to switch inputs. Then go to Picture and change to Warm 2, full brightness and contrast, and do minimum sharpness... Click apply to all inputs.... And do this for every picture setting.... This will also change Tizen.... I almost returned this thing until I figured this out.

    Its a great tv for sure, especially with the price it comes with compared to other brands ... yet, eventhough its equiped with an QD oled panel and has great gaming chops, such as 144hz, i still have to lean LG's (W)oled offering. Usually they are more stable when it comes to quality control and firmware updates. Plus, you get Dolby Vision and DTS:X support. Gaming wise, except for the 144hz, they are pretty much equal. I'd say LG's HGIG implementation is a bit more intuitive. And i do not understand for the love of me why Samsung refuses to put an input/source button on their tv remotes. Maybe Samsung will fix some of the stuff with these years models (S95D/S90D), who knows, we ll see soon enough.

    Finally, someone at least asking instead of assuming it's a big deal, but the answer is Nope.. High end TV's simply don't need per scene adjustments, a wide range of color and brightness settings for the whole title just works right because the TV can handle whatever it's asked to do without specific narrowing of settings needed per scene
