    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.

    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.

    • @RTINGSdotcom
      @RTINGSdotcom  3 місяці тому +2

      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!

So I checked out the S90C in John Lewis (UK) and yes, it had a distinct kink 3 quarters along the screen! So I've chosen the C3. The quality issues that samsung seem to have along with their poor history of firmware updates was too much of a negative, especially as little to chose between them

    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.

    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.

I have tried with both match frame rate on and off as well as all different changes to motion interpolation. 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.

      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.

    Just managed to grab a 55" S90C for $640! Gonna be replacing my 43" QN90B which is both my monitor and also our bedroom TV, I'm hoping 55" isn't too awkward to use at 1m~ distance (gonna be using either 32:9 or 21:9 aspect ratio as monitor), 122cm width is quite big but still roughly the same size as those 49" ultra-wide monitors though I believe those are curved,, fingers crossed here, worst case I'll end up returning it or selling it in case there's people interested locally but I think it'll be still acceptable as monitor using 32:9 and the extra size will definitely be great for movies
    EDIT: Updating after a few days of use, 55" (122cm width) is quite big at 90cm distance using as a monitor but I adapted pretty quick, been using 32:9 and loving it so far, YMMV though as some people might find it way too big, most noticeable improvement IMO is the near-zero motion blur when gaming, image stays extremely sharp even when moving.

    I noticed you don’t mention 5:5 pulldown, my 90C have a major issue with it.
    Between panning shots it would micro freeze the image.
    Especially in EU regions where cable TV is 50Hz!!!
    There is no way to do inverse pulldown 3:2! Cause you cannot bring back 50 fps from 60fps!
    This caused major problem for me!😢
    The issue is negated only by enabling de judder to 2-4 clicks or disabling picture clarity completely or running AppleTV or Google TV in a Game Mode (for USA you would just ran ATV or GTV in match frame rate off in any mode as it would do reverse pull down correctly).
    I settled to run more de judder for sports 4 clicks and for shows 2 clicks as I don’t notice soap opera effect. But for other people who are more sensitive to this effect this would be a major issue.
    Hopefully with next review this would be also mentioned from here on forward ❤
    It would be lovely if ratings actually could communicate this issue to Samsung about last year models, so they could actually address it 🙏

    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.

    • @nerdstrangler4804

      It can be. S95B uses a first gen panel and early on there was a panel lottery as to whether or not you got a 1st or 2nd gen panel with the S90C. The 2nd gen panels are brighter and more resistant to burn in.
