Hy great video, but I need help or answer, so when I turn on my PS5 and wanna play I need to set game mode on AUTO/ or ON, it runs perfect and it works, and when I turn off my PS5, and wanna watch netflix, HBO YT, S95B picture stays in game mode and dont turn it on standard or filmmaker mode, so question did I always need when I wanna play PS5 turn manually in settings on game mode and later give it back on standard when my seasion on PS5 is over or TV make that automatic....its strange....help....
I don't own A90J, but I do own A8H Sony and S95B I just got is by far best looking TV I ever owned. For me the most impressive thing is the clarity and punch of screen, just off the charts. Makes HDR content look so good I can't even watch SDR content anymore. I got rid of the Direct TV subscription and only stream now and watch 4K blu-rays because how awesome picture look in HDR. It's almost like you watching demo material all the time, I love it
@Paul Bouchard In my opinion the S95B is better if your watching HDR content like 4k blu-ray or Netflix. There is just something about the clarity and colors that in my opinion beats any other OLED I have ever owned including A8H. Plus I didn't install the newest Samsung firmware so my Movie mode still will go up to 1500 nits.
@Paul Bouchard That is hard to say, I think motion on Sony is better by little bit. That is really the only area where I think the Sony beats S95B by small amount.
I prefer the look of the Samsung QD OLEd. I'd love to see a comparison of the QD vs the G2 in that I really want a 77" and would like to know how close the G2 is to the QD.
I can’t until the QD-OLEDs are available in the bigger sizes-nor afford them. Like you, I want a larger TV. I’m looking for the best TV in the 83-85” range without breaking the bank.
These videos are great but I always wonder what settings the reviewer has them in or if it's calibrated or who calibrated it or was it calibrated correctly...I know Sony has lots of brightness boost options so is the reviewer using those options??? Too many factors but all in all these are both EXCELLENT TVS...you can't go wrong
@@nuggyfresh6430 well they just dumbed it down by reducing the brightness significantly with the latest update so I don't doubt it's better but it's not blowing the other tvs away like it was before...A90J and the A80J are still very good
@@RockMathis No they did not,or, the updated the firmware again and brightness is back + more accurate in colors but you can still choose to go vivid colors because brightness and color volume is much higher on qd-oled. S95B is the brightest OLED TV you can get regardless of firmware version. Many reviews updated their test, and S95B is still brigther than G2 for example. QD-OLED is simply just brighter, while running cooler. I have seen S95B in person side by side with a G2 and the S95B looked better for sure. Much better colors. Also the S95B was far brighter in HDR gaming. LG has some kind of HGIG issue and delivers a very dim gaming experience.
@@lort6022 Yes, QDOLED is better with colors and brighter...no argument there. I can't wait until they make them in 77 inches. It'll be 2nd gen tech by then as well so im expecting it to be even more colorful and brighter than now. I don't watch a lot of TV in the bedroom so it's gotta be a living room tv and 65 inches doesn't make the cut for me anymore in a living room.
@@lort6022 The actual brightness difference between the G2 and S95B is not really that different tho. But when you have more saturated colors, it makes them appear brighter. HGIG is meant to be played in a dark room. In a brighter room, you’re supposed to use DTM on the LG. And with that on, the brightness difference isn’t drastic, but color saturation is. Lastly, I also saw the S95B beside the G2, and the G2 maintained inky blacks whereas the S95B blacks looked even more grey than the QN90B that was close to it 😷. Sure, it suppresses reflections well, but it diffuses any light hitting it across the screen, lifting blacks. So basically, it’s not all better. You get better color saturation to make it look better in a bright room, but you also lose a lot of contrast in a bright room, so it’s a double-edged sword.
I have two Sonys and have always looked down on Samsung tvs. Picked up a S95B a few weeks ago and I honestly like Samsung’s presentation. The best way to describe it is that Sony’s tv presentation makes thinks looks like a very detailed picture while Samsung makes you feel like you are in the picture. I’m rewatching movies to just see how the colors will pop with the S95B.
@@andyeban it’s great with Netflix and UA-cam. However, it’s not good with low quality feeds. It’s hard to explain, but it’s almost like all the extra processing to bring out highlights and more vibrant colors makes SD content look really (really) bad. All that said, I hear people talking about accuracy or that the reds are too red, etc. When you are actually watching tv, the point is to enjoy what’s on the screen. I don’t know too many people that only watch 4K movies in a dark room at midnight. You watch all types of things; sports, movies, gaming, at all hours of the day. As a Sony lifer, I can admit that Samsung’s way of doing color is a better approach.
@@PrinceOfHavendale Awesome. Yeah thats exactly me. I use my current tv for all sorts bluray, streaming, sports, youtube, gaming. So looking for an allrounder. Dont have too much content, but i do have plenty of 1080 SDR content, so i think you convinced me to lean towards the Samsung
I'm writing from Turkey. I came across your review on Amazon Turkey. Thank you for making an effort to inform us. Currently, this 55-inch Sony model is priced at $1140 in my country, while the 48-inch LG is $915, making it the most affordable model at an acceptable size of at least 48 inches. Another challenge we face is that Sony has pulled out of our market. Now, we only have LG, Samsung, TCL, Philips, and a few local manufacturers who source panels from LG. The minimum wage in Turkey is $485, and we have the highest inflation rate in the world. For these reasons, the price-to-performance ratio becomes even more critical for us, and we spend days researching before making a purchase.
This video is one of the greatest I've seen ! Well done ! We can talk about accuracy all night long but what I see clearly starting at 13.11 is that on the S95B the whites are white where the whites are blue on the Sony , and it's huge ! Why ?
I own an a80j and brought the s95b like 2 months ago to compare them and my goodness it’s made me want to buy a S95B. The whites on the Sony are blue and look very bad compared to the S95B bare in mind I also have the colour temperature on warm not cool. I thought the A95K would fix this but nope same thing. Colours are an improvement from the A80J in the sense that they’re brighter and more vivid but still the whites are not white like the S95B’s.
I do own a S95B and a A80J and I get to compare it daily when I watch a little of both and for me what I see is that the S95B is just better by far but I do wish Samsung had a few of those features that Sony has like smooth gradation and reality control even though it doesn’t need it due to how detailed the S95B is, definitely would be nice to have those features
@@NexGenTek I'm saying the s95b is the first tv he's shown to beat the a90j. From his showings meaning his videos. I was giving it props lol I'm saying all of his other videos the other tvs can't beat the a90j but the s95b did. Then I said awesome video lol dude I know how good the s95b is I had one and yes it was more impactful then my a90j and had more color.
@@reviewforthetube6485 Yes My S95B And Stealthdragons S95B beats the A90J 2021 king of TVS why do you sound surprised QD Oled is superior newer technology than WOLED
Would love to see a comparison between both TVs in filmmaker mode without the unnatural overbrightening. Otherwise the Sony has to be set to Cinema Home mode at least I think, since filmmaker mode is closer to the intended look.
@Chris I think he likely did all (or most) of the testing before the Samsung S95B's accuracy update to filmmaker's mode dropped and didn't want to re-test everything so he just released the video as is. So now we end up with an outdated comparison. He should have performed all test over or just refrained from releasing this video at all.
@@ThaVillaMan my friend you should take a look at filmmaker mode for the S95B with the 1211 update they really did a masterful job on it to make it what most people would want in accuracy for movies it definitely looks so detailed you’ll enjoy it watching movies 🤙🏽
A90J not really losing, yes the S95B is the best 65 / 55" TV you can buy currently, but when we talk 83" there is only the A90J or LG G2, and I believe A90J is still the King here.
@@luishuerta3007 65" "best picture" not. 77" are usually the cleanest panel, plus the A80J 65" comes with semi matte, instead of glossy finish of the 77" size so it doesn't handle reflection well.
@@ManuelMedellin. The king is the S95B the A90J has been dethroned it lost next is for the A95K to lose and the S95B will be the undesputed king of 2022 people obsessed with size need therapy
@@Faisal-SR Yes but this comparison is between an older oled technology and a newer and improved oled technology. It's not about the brand, it's about the tech. This is like comparing a TFT display to an IPS display, they are both LCDs but the IPS display is definitely better.
I own a c7 and two cxs. Just brought s95b it's not even close the colors are beautiful to look at. Will eventually swap the cx at somepoint. While the cx has value and pay the differnece.
@Tha_VillaMan Could you please clarify: Why is the white color different on Samsung and Sony from 7:15 to 7:22? Is it possible to calibrate Samsung white color to Sony white color? What TV is more accurate in white color?
Enjoyed the comparison especially, anti-ereflection. As someone who would be upscaling internet streaming contend (huge application) it would be very interested in seeing the difference in presentation of streaming video and sports content.
Thanks from 2023. All your tests were important, but the reflective test was the most important and I think put me over the edge. Even though the a90j is Affordable now, I'll be going with a qdoled I believe. I just hope I can stand the jutter
It doesnt look that way in reality, BUT what u will see is that the s95b, in general, is easier on the eyes. A lot of people found plasma to have a more “natural feel,” and they say the same thing for qd oled. The reason is, the spectral power distribution on qd oled and plasma has very distinct separation between the reds, greens, and blues. To me, this effect is extremely noticeable and actually reduces eye strain and migraines, for me. Anyways, the reason i mention this is because this is the cause of the “greener/bluer” appearance of the a90j.
I definitely prefer the s95b. I own a 65" and a 55" C1 and have basically shelved the c1. The a90j looks great, but the colors on the Samsung look so much better to me.
@@smthsmth lol, clowns still thinking filmmakers and creators all like dark content with ABL kicking in when most tolerate cinemas and many don't even like how studios HDR grade their films.
S95B colors are not the issue, 65" lacks immersion so that's why I can't buy the S95B, it would get replaced next year, that's not the point of TV purchases, you want to keep them around for a couple years.
Good afternoon, sorry for my English, I really like your channel, I hope one day to reach your success. Could you tell me what brand and model of video camera you use? , looks amazing. Thank you very much and a hug from Spain
Thanks for your great review. I have a question. Your comparison was the A90j using Dolby Vision vs the s95b using hdr10+. I am wondering, however, how the a90j/DV would compare to a s95b just using hdr10 since that would be a more common combination, since there is so relatively little hdr10+ content available. Is it worth getting the a90j for Dolby Vision alone?
Dolby Vision is highly overrated, and I say this as a LG OLED owner. HDR10 is the standard for a reason. S95B will still beat A90J using HDR10 because of the nature of QD-OLED panel; More vivid, bright and punchy colors and this is exactly what you want for good HDR. Way better specular highlights and better colorpop when needed. QD-OLED simply has way better color brightness than WOLED, which is the reason why WOLED panels look dimmed down. HOWEVER WOLED is still better than LCD and in some scenes also comes close to QD-OLED but 9 out of 10 times QD-OLED comes out on top. I saw S95B vs G2 last week in my local store with 10 other geeks, we tested for like 4 hours one evening, in different content and overall S95B simply stood out as the clear winner. Brighter and more vivid + better gaming experience. G2 became dim in HDR gaming, very dim, it has issue with HGIG and HDR gaming in general. Upscaling is also not that good on the G2. S95B also supports 144 Hz without frameskipping for PC usage. G2 is not a bad TV by any means, but it should be at least 25% cheaper than S95B IMO. A95K is obviously great too but it is simply too overpriced right now, S95B is much much cheaper and they look very identical; Sony is more accurate but Samsung is more punchy and vivid - Personal preference, I like vivid and bright over dimmed down and accurate myself. You need to see QD-OLED in person to really see what people talk about. Side by side on youtube does not do it justice. There is a bigger difference IRL between QD-OLED vs WOLED, not night and day but very noticable.
@@Dr.WhetFarts Thank you for your thorough response. Much appreciated. I went ahead and purchased the S95B and I am blown away. Especially since I am replacing an 11 year old Panasonic plasma. Incredible new technology!!!
I bought the a90j for various reasons, mostly 83inch, and not the neo QLED due to 85 inch not fitting my space. I bought my 55inch monitor for PS5 and Xbox . Definitely the color is amazing. But the a90j makes me feel the colors are a night washed out.at least I watch tv at night so the brightness isn't needed
I have the 55S95B and the 77G2 and at first i thought Wow! The S95B so impactful, but after dialing some settings to normal (contrast enh. Off and color to Auto) i definately prefer the G2 over the S95B. They can go almost evenly bright, but the image processing and clarity are a bit better than the S95B. The S95B has in its return a very impressive colorvolume. Curious as what you found between these two.
I thought the complete opposite gaming seemed much worse on the Lg G2 and brightness was definitely better on the S95B including upscaling and sharpness!
@@NexGenTekYes the S95B is really impressive and enabling Game HDR makes games pop more. I noticed in dark scenes with very bright colorblocks (which was evident in GOTG PS5 Matriarch level) the S95B keeps its colorvolume where the G2 goes more white / diluted to show its brightness. But the G2 has to my opinion more highlight pop and clarity in gaming and movies. This looks a lot like the Sony XR processing. And i like that on the G2 the black / white stabilizer can be easily adjusted. They trade blows, but i do prefer the G2
S95B is the brightest OLED TV in gaming, by far. A95K, even in "prefer brightness mode" is not as bright and this is with both TVs fully updated to newest firmware. Saw them last week side by side. If you like punchy and vivid colors, S95B beats A95K. If you like a dimmer but more accurate picture, A95K is slightly better but for allround usage, the Samsung wins and is 1700 dollars cheaper in 65 inch... That is alot.
@@lort6022 Yeah, it's not even a competition especially since the S95b is nearly half the price. Where did you see them side-by-side? My Best Buy only had the C2 and A80k and the Magnolia Best Buy that had every model closed down altogether. Were they in store mode?
As a owner of a A80J and S95B both TVs make skin tones look really good both natural, only just the S95B can get a lot brighter and can hold it’s colors much better due to it being a QD OLED and having higher color volume is ridiculously good
@@brokenwrench404 S95B is best for gaming the end. It does 1440p and 144 Hz for PC gaming too. It's brigther and more vivid than any other OLED TV in game mode.
The S95B will also win vs the A95K as long as he again will use the overbrightened and oversaturated movie mode on the S95B ... the A95K doesn't do that ... it's way more accurate but less "wowing". Only with Filmmaker Mode on the S95B and IMAX Enhanced on the A95K you will see comparable pictures.
I got a G2 and I am sort of blown away at how much better it is from my CX. I am looking in to an S95B for my loft with lots of lighting. Thanks for the review.
Especially for a bright room the G2 is the much better choice as with real content it gets way brighter than the S95B ... check out Rtings measurements with a 16:9 full screen normal video: S95B: 789 nits peak G2: 1,165 nits peak The S95B lacks a massive 376nits in comparison ! .... overbrightening dim(mer) pictures is not having real high brightness capabilities !
@@Carlos-sn1rk Reading the original post: the dimmer S95B shall be used in the brighter room ("...for my loft with lots of lighting...") ... which is no good idea, I am convinced. The brighter tv should be used in the brighter room ! In addition the S95B picture gets washed out when ambient light is in place ... which is caused by it doesn't have a polariser. The Alienware QD-OLED monitor shows the same behaviour... To get a good picture quality from the S95B you need to use it in a dim (best dark) room without ambient light hitting the screen.
@@marcuscole8796 Got it! Thank you for your knowledge. I’m debating between the LG C2 and the S95B; which one would you recommend? I can always dim my living room by closing the blinds. I guess I’m looking for a more realistic screen and detail.
@@Carlos-sn1rk In the past weeks I have seen Samsung messing around with 3 totally different firmwares for the S95B. The final result at this point in time (fw 1302) is the S95B got nerfed by 500 nits brightness capability (1000nits now i/o 1500) and Filmmaker Mode is buggy again ... FMM was perfect with the previous fw 1211 btw. You can only call this a scam for achieving overwhelming reviews in the beginning and now after some weeks owners have a quite mediocre tv sitting in their homes ... at least not what they thought they have bought. To be honest: besides Samsungs scam ... the S95B is a "first year product" using a "first year technology" ... this carries a high risk I would never except for myself hence I also wouldn't recommend it to others ... but that's just MY point of view. QD-OLED tvs from my point of view maybe finished and known for what they REALLY offer (all pros, cons and failures) in 2023 or 2024 ... no earlier I would buy one. The C2 on the other side is an over the past 9 years thoroughly improved product carrying no surprises at all ... firmware updates are always making it even better as you can see from recently released new firmwares for BX, CX, GX, B1, C1 and G1 ... and not worse ... as happened with the S95B. My real recommendation would be the G2, because it has some important advantages over the C2 ... and at my location the price premium is between 0 and around 300€ only ... depending on screen size. It also outperforms the S95B in every aspect except pure colour brightness (but which is not required by regular content anyway...) Advantages vs C2 are: 1. G2 has a heatspreader the C2 doesn't have ... there are several important advantages coming along with a heatspreader in an OLED tv 2. the G2 uses the latest 2022 "EX" panel vs the C2 uses last years "EVO" panel 3. the G2 can got up to 38% brighter (also colour brightness) ... which is driven by 1. + 2. 4. the G2 has a 5 year warranty ... the C2 two years If you do not want to wall-mount the G2 ... this is no problem as you can get 3rd party stands using the VESA mount of the tv e.g. from Amazon ... and these are about $50 only with a nice black glass base plate. (that's what I did with my 77G2)
Should have put the Samsung in filmmaker mode as you had the Sony in custom mode which is it's most accurate, we know that the Samsung pops in all other modes we've seen it already from every other reviewer... not a fair comparison video in my opinion
Exactly after the S95B got the 1211 update filmmaker mode looks a lot more detailed and bright when it’s supposed to be bright and not so bright when it supposed to be also
Wow what kind of comparison is this old TV versus the new technology TV or old car versus the new car which one is gonna be better it’s obvious why don’t you compare the Samsung QD to the Sony cutie
To pass on roughly 40% screen size (65" vs 77") never sounds like a good idea ... more like one causing regret afterwards. In addition as long as you are using an accurate mode (e.g. FMM on the S95B) you will hardly spot a difference between a S95B and a LG C2 or especially a LG G2. If you are actually prefering the overbrightened and oversaturated picture coming from the S95B ... the best advice will be to wait for next years S95C ... which seems to be released also in a 77" version. Or ... get a 77" G2 now and replace it next year with a 77" S95C ... if your wallet allows it ... but never save on screen size.
Adjust the temperature just a tad cooler on the Sony and you’d have more punchy color like on the Samsung. The processing on the Sony is what makes it a better tv in my opinion. But you definitely pay for it.
@Adanga mom got 65" A90j for $1400 i got Samsung s94bd revised s95b for $1500 65" we both love our tvs.I play videogames mostly and she watches netflix.
I have to disagree, I own a sony a90j and have owned high end Samsungs. I will take a calibrated tv or uncalibrated tv all day. Plus Dolby vision is better than hrd 10. I used both. Samsung is a good tv, but all this brightness talk is getting tiresome. Accuracy beat bright vividness when the sony looks liked your looking through a window outside. I can always make the sony more vivid if I want, but harder to make Samsung more accurate with out sending money 💰 for the average person 😮. I understand why manufacturers make tvs bright and vivid for the showroom because it gets eyeballs. But unless you want everything to look like a fantasy game. I respect your opinion on it but disagree. People need to start talking about the chip set use and longevity and build quality and warranty. Sony is outstanding in all.
This is the problem of Sony for me. In my region the 65 inch A90J model (2021) costs 2,600€, where the brand new (65 inch) S95b costs 2,000€. For the 600€ difference I can get a soundbar system and on top I will have QD OLED panel. Sorry Sony, but I have to go with the Samsung.
Sad, although you were aware of only the "Filmmaker Mode" provides an accurate picture on the S95B with fw 1211 ... you still choose the inaccurate mode resulting in you are now comparing "an accurate vs an inaccurate reproduction". Tbh this alone massively decreases the relevance of your comparison as you gave up on comparability in the first place ! Some viewers who are prefering artificial pop over image depth and high contrast may benefit because they can see what this inaccurate "Samsung's intent" will offer them ... but ... for movie enthusiasts like me who are looking for "creator's intent" and a deep, contrasty and realistic looking picture this "comparison" doesn't offer any value. Sorry for the criticism, but that's how it is for us video and movie enthusiasts ... and I hope you will redecide for your upcoming comparisons and avoid all overly processed content reproduction and regain relevance of your hard work.
Yes that would be the more appropriate compression. A90J colour accuracy is better. Samsung always had this fake vivid look. Over saturated sometimes and less contrasting. But some people like it. If you are the purest then Sony will be better. Unless other TVs catch in the colour accuracy department
You are looking at an overbrightened and oversaturated picture on the S95B whereas the A90J is in an accurate mode. The pictures are no way comparable therefore and the A90J ofc is not as "overly" as the S95B ... so, what does this tell us ? .... precisely NOTHING at all !
@0 random That's not the issue here ... I am convinced the better tv of these two is the S95b ... BUT ... you can't see it because it's real potential is hidden beneath the "overly" Movie Mode being used. Now it actually looks like the S95B can't compete against the A90J when both tvs are showing an accurate picture. I am convinced the S95B doesn't need this artificial help !
@0 random Maybe the A90J can't ... who knows ... but ... in fact you can't see accurate pictures being compared here ... so, again, this so-called comparison is pointless ! ... it doesn't show or prove the S95B being better (or worse) ... only that it looks different ... but not comparable due to the wrong modes were used. You can look as long as you like ... you can only look at incomparable pictures ... proving precisely: zero
@0 random lol ... why should I write a book ? ... I neither care about the Samsung nor the Sony or what your individual preferences are ... I just had to repeat because you haven't read and understood what I actually wrote ... it's NOT what you think/interpret I wrote. I neither have interest in writing a book or wasting more time in this useless conversation. Reminder: I already said ... the S95B is BETTER than the A90J !!! Which proves you obviously are not reading or understanding what I actually pointed out ... so, let's leave it at that.
G2 def hands down. I have always been a stickler for accuracy and natural colors/tone. Samsungs mo has alwyas been a wow factor because people love to make decisions on with their eyes and on first impressions but I was taught first impressions and things that catch your eyes aren’t always what they seem.
A95K and S95B are more accurate than G2 when all are calibrated. Go read reviews. Rtings mentions this. Newest firmware on S95B made it more accurate but you can still unleash the vivid and punchy colors if you want. Some people want that.
Yes Mr. villa man guess what Sony qd a95k is out now and Samsung will have to take a backseat to the master. HD TV test by Mr. Vincent has already put out the comparison video to your Samsung and sony really stepped up its game like always. I am so glad I didn’t jump on the Samsung qd hi train like so many other reviewers have done
The S95B will also win vs the A95K as long as he again will use the overbrightened and oversaturated movie mode on the S95B ... the A95K doesn't do that ... it's way more accurate but less "wowing". Only with Filmmaker Mode on the S95B and IMAX Enhanced on the A95K you will see comparable pictures.
@@vb8428 That's nonsense ... you obviously have no idea about the Dolby Vision mastering process. Dolby Vision mastering is done once only in the workflow ... the result of this one time mastering is: a DV version, the HDR10 version and also the SDR version. That's why studios tend to increasingly rely on DV mastering ... you get the best quality at the lowest cost ... because one workflow generates all three masters of the most important formats at the same time. Due to this "one time process" the results are identical for all three formats ... with the technical limitations of the respective format ofc
I fully agree ... in addition all those "wowed" by "the picture pops so much" guys apparently are completely ignoring: Samsungs overbrightening of all picture elements almost eliminates all shadows on faces or objects ... as a result the picture gets flattened out and loses a lot of it's original depth ! Yes, the picture "shouts" at you ... but more like a flat poster and not like a real person ! ...TVM also states this in his video ! ... the S95B often ruins contrast compared to the (accurate) A90J ... which is entirely unnecessary and not the technologies fault. Furthermore the S95B makes up specular highlights where there aren't any ... this is caused by it's internal tone mapping is just overwhelmed with the overbrightened approach. It is beyond me how anybody can prefer these flat and artificial looking pictures (S95B) over realistic looking pictures which are showing a fantastic depth sometimes even close to like they were filmed in 3D (A90J) !
I primarily use my TV for streaming. Netflix, HBO, Disney+, Prime Video and some next gen gaming. TV is also displayed in the living room so it's not in a dark dungeon thought not super bright either. I can't decide on an OLED Vs Qled. And the other thing is Samsung TVs don't support DV. And streaming services don't support HDR10+. So Samsung seems like a bad choice? DV vs HDR is a huge difference when the support for HDR10+ adaptive is non existent for my use.
You may face some problems due to the static nature of HDR10 ... like "The Manadalorian" on Disney+ will be too dark with a limited contrast range resulting in a less impressive HDR. In general: as long as static HDR10 is mastered correctly and you use a tv capable of achieving 900nits peak or more ... there is no big difference between HDR10 and Dolby Vision ... unfortunately there is still a number of suboptimal produced content out there (and most probably will never disappear entirely). DV is always as accurate as it can get and always using the full potential of your tv especially if it can only achieve e.g. 550 nits (other than HDR10). If you focus on getting a tv capable of achieving 1000nits peak (or close to) you will in most cases be fine with HDR10 only ... because the usual 1000nit mastered content doesn't leave enough "playground" for DV for showing it's potential. If you are looking for a very powerful and a "as hazzlefree as possible" tv with any feature installed you may possibly need ... check out the LG G2. It's for several reasons the much better choice compared to the S95B and also outperforms any LCD tv out there (except for extremely bright room usage ofc).
S95b is amazing in a dark room but suffers from grey blacks in a bright room which defeats the purpose of buying an oled tv. Only people who watch the tv at night should buy this tv or people who don't mind poor contrast in a bright room. Samsung and Sony need to get rid of the put the polarizer back.
@@saladmaster1392 What if the light is on the side and your eyes are not directly seeing the reflection? Do you know what I mean? Normally it shouldn't affect you until you sit at a particular angle where that window becomes visible but does it affect the S95b?
Samsung already has removed the polariser from the S95B ... to achieve higher brightnesses than the max. 600 nits they had with QD-OLED in 2021. I personally hope Sony, LG, Panasonic will never remove the polariser ... the polariser has an important function (other than reducing light output ofc^^). We can be glad for not having the negative effects of a missing polariser with the other brands ... which are: a permanent reddish tint even in a dark room and elevated with ambient light ... and visibly elevated blacks and a washed-out picture with only some ambient light in place.
Deffo the S95, Sony looked blueish and flat, the HDR thing on the wood at the end was brighter on the S95 and looked clearer. I own 1 of them and honestly I think hdr10 plus does a good if not better job than dolby v. I have had a cx and c1. Just my opinion lol. Ty for the vid.
HDR10+ is a "fake dynamic" format because it is algorithm-based and guesses dynamic meta data on top of pre-mastered HDR10 content. DV on the other hand can only be manually mastered by colorists ... hence there is no guessing at all. Needless to point out which one is better ... or even real. But whether HDR10+ is fake or not is anyway not relevant as it is a DOA format with close to zero support and content...
@@marcuscole8796 yeah I hear all that but on first hand experience I personally prefer it. I thought I'd like all the accuracy stuff but tbh I just couldn't get used to it. Whatever it's doing on netflix and other apps I enjoy it. Not for everyone I guess 👍
@@Takeme_DCUO Well of course ... what you like or not is entirely your own decision :-) ... and discussing about it is completely useless ... as with any other subjective matter :-) This is totally fine as at the end of the day we gotta have fun ... whether you get there with 100% accuracy or with psychedelic distorted pictures doesn't matter at all ;-) Good or better is relative and lies in the eye of the beholder ... I learned (for my needs) the closer I get to accuracy and reality the more fun it's for me ... but that's just me :-) Another issue I have is with principles ... I know how intensive Samsung is cheating again and again as far as I can tell from observing them throughout the past 5 years (much more and aggressive than any other of their competitors) ... and ... I actually hate cheaters ... that's how it is ... how I am. HDR10+ is an invention from Samsung to only undermine accuracy and Dolby Vision ... HDR10+ cheats ... Samsung permanently cheats and tries to scam ... so whatever they do it always leaves a bad taste ... and even when it's great at first glance ... I every second expect the ugly other side of it to pop up. I have zero trust in them and as a consequence zero respect... Just to make clear: I very much appreciate Samsung Display they are great and developing fantastic products ... it's Samsung Visual Display only which is the black sheep here.
@@marcuscole8796 haha yeah everything you say is almost right, but people don't buy samsung expecting seriously accurate let alone non psychedelic lol. They're known for it and tbh with you I love that hehe. No they aren't perfect and cheat most things but that's OK for some. I used to love Sony but when they lied that vrr was straight out the box on the ps5 and it took 18 months to get, pushing cosmetic crap and not really caring what gamers were asking for I went right off them. They lie about tons of stuff but people still love em lol. It's all good as long as people are happy with their purchases. It's like taxes and death with tvs, it'll go on forever with each year 😂👍
@@Takeme_DCUO lol ... interesting you are mentioning Sony, because this my personal second black sheep :-) The vrr story you are mentioning already was embarrassing ... but they are on my radar for much longer: in 2017 they made their first OLED (A1E) ... and they were that anxious the tv turned out being very dim and their ABL was extremely annoying ... so far it's quite ok ... to stay on the safe side with your first year product ... but with this tv also their Dolby Vision desaster started: LG introduced DV in 2016, Sony wanted to catch up and announced (only announced!) DV for their tvs at CES 2017 ... after that they forced Dolby Labs. to introduce this horrible "Low Latency" version of Dolby Vision, because their tv were not powerful enough for decoding DV. And - as you wrote for vrr - even for this inferior LLDV it took them more than a year to get a firmware update released which installed their so-called DV on their tvs. To cut a long story short: 1. Sony's handling of Dolby Vision throughout the past 5 years is a desaster ... it took them 4 years (until 2021) to get it right 2. their "promising features and delivering one year later" started in 2017 with DV ... and it carried on with other features (e.g. vrr) ... for me Sony now is 3. well-known for selling unfinished products ... together with the promise to complete the tv/console later on (or never^^) ... 4. even their 4K-players still have no HDR/DV detection in 2022 ... you have to manually switch DV on and off with almost every movie you are watching ... that's a bad joke in 2022 For me the difference roughly is: both are scammers ... Samsung "could do it right" but has decided to be and to stay on the dark side ... Sony for me is just incapable and slowly turning into a shadow of their former shine. (for tvs only ... cameras and projectors Sony is still top notch) The A90J created hope and the A95K might as well (not sure yet) ... so, we'll see. Don't get me wrong I am a (was a huge) fan of Sony ... my very first tv in 1986 was a large and fantastic Trinitron CRT ... and I still use a 42" Sony rear-projection tv in the other room ... but since 5 years their OLED tvs carry too much flaws to convince me of buying one. When it comes to a purchase decision it's either a Panasonic or a LG OLED for me.
@@DallasNYY A90J doesn't even clean up low bit rate content you shouldn't even be watching low bit rate. I use UA-cam TV and it looks great. Upscaling surpassed Sony from last year. Haven't seen this year.
Everyone is entitled to there opinion. Pretty bold statement considering the a95k hasn’t even been released yet. Samsung ruins their TVs with Filmware updates qn90b and their interface is very laggy I personally think thT the a95K will be TV of the year. Brightness isn’t everything. Enjoy your s95b
Hi 👋🏾
Hy great video, but I need help or answer, so when I turn on my PS5 and wanna play I need to set game mode on AUTO/ or ON, it runs perfect and it works, and when I turn off my PS5, and wanna watch netflix, HBO YT, S95B picture stays in game mode and dont turn it on standard or filmmaker mode, so question did I always need when I wanna play PS5 turn manually in settings on game mode and later give it back on standard when my seasion on PS5 is over or TV make that automatic....its strange....help....
Was this comparison done before or after the most recent update where Samsung lessened the brightness on its panels? 📺

@@barracuda7366 I’ma need VillaMan to confirm this information👀
I don't own A90J, but I do own A8H Sony and S95B I just got is by far best looking TV I ever owned. For me the most impressive thing is the clarity and punch of screen, just off the charts. Makes HDR content look so good I can't even watch SDR content anymore. I got rid of the Direct TV subscription and only stream now and watch 4K blu-rays because how awesome picture look in HDR. It's almost like you watching demo material all the time, I love it
@Paul Bouchard In my opinion the S95B is better if your watching HDR content like 4k blu-ray or Netflix. There is just something about the clarity and colors that in my opinion beats any other OLED I have ever owned including A8H. Plus I didn't install the newest Samsung firmware so my Movie mode still will go up to 1500 nits.
@Paul Bouchard That is hard to say, I think motion on Sony is better by little bit. That is really the only area where I think the Sony beats S95B by small amount.
Is Netflix any good ?

I prefer the look of the Samsung QD OLEd. I'd love to see a comparison of the QD vs the G2 in that I really want a 77" and would like to know how close the G2 is to the QD.
Agree wish they had bigger sizes for people I'm ok with the size but most people want a larger living room set.
It's confirmed that Samsung will release a 77 inch QD OLED TV next year if you're willing to wait.
Same here waiting for that comparison myself.
I can’t until the QD-OLEDs are available in the bigger sizes-nor afford them. Like you, I want a larger TV. I’m looking for the best TV in the 83-85” range without breaking the bank.

Thanks VM .. cant wait for the S95B vs A95K comparison vid!!!!!
Yo Villa Man you got 2 monster TV's right there. The best of both worlds WRGB OLED and QD OLED. I wouldn't mind owning any one of the 2 premium TV's.
These videos are great but I always wonder what settings the reviewer has them in or if it's calibrated or who calibrated it or was it calibrated correctly...I know Sony has lots of brightness boost options so is the reviewer using those options??? Too many factors but all in all these are both EXCELLENT TVS...you can't go wrong
You can go wrong, because the S95B is way better in a way that you have to see in person
@@nuggyfresh6430 well they just dumbed it down by reducing the brightness significantly with the latest update so I don't doubt it's better but it's not blowing the other tvs away like it was before...A90J and the A80J are still very good
@@RockMathis No they did not,or, the updated the firmware again and brightness is back + more accurate in colors but you can still choose to go vivid colors because brightness and color volume is much higher on qd-oled. S95B is the brightest OLED TV you can get regardless of firmware version. Many reviews updated their test, and S95B is still brigther than G2 for example. QD-OLED is simply just brighter, while running cooler. I have seen S95B in person side by side with a G2 and the S95B looked better for sure. Much better colors. Also the S95B was far brighter in HDR gaming. LG has some kind of HGIG issue and delivers a very dim gaming experience.
@@lort6022 Yes, QDOLED is better with colors and brighter...no argument there. I can't wait until they make them in 77 inches. It'll be 2nd gen tech by then as well so im expecting it to be even more colorful and brighter than now. I don't watch a lot of TV in the bedroom so it's gotta be a living room tv and 65 inches doesn't make the cut for me anymore in a living room.
@@lort6022 The actual brightness difference between the G2 and S95B is not really that different tho. But when you have more saturated colors, it makes them appear brighter.
HGIG is meant to be played in a dark room. In a brighter room, you’re supposed to use DTM on the LG. And with that on, the brightness difference isn’t drastic, but color saturation is.
Lastly, I also saw the S95B beside the G2, and the G2 maintained inky blacks whereas the S95B blacks looked even more grey than the QN90B that was close to it 😷. Sure, it suppresses reflections well, but it diffuses any light hitting it across the screen, lifting blacks.
So basically, it’s not all better. You get better color saturation to make it look better in a bright room, but you also lose a lot of contrast in a bright room, so it’s a double-edged sword.
I have two Sonys and have always looked down on Samsung tvs. Picked up a S95B a few weeks ago and I honestly like Samsung’s presentation. The best way to describe it is that Sony’s tv presentation makes thinks looks like a very detailed picture while Samsung makes you feel like you are in the picture.
I’m rewatching movies to just see how the colors will pop with the S95B.
I'm torn between the LG G2 and the S95b. How does the S95b look on lesser content like 1080p netflix content, or even youtube stuff
@@andyeban 1080p looks amazing on the Samsung I don't go below that
@@andyeban it’s great with Netflix and UA-cam. However, it’s not good with low quality feeds. It’s hard to explain, but it’s almost like all the extra processing to bring out highlights and more vibrant colors makes SD content look really (really) bad.
All that said, I hear people talking about accuracy or that the reds are too red, etc. When you are actually watching tv, the point is to enjoy what’s on the screen. I don’t know too many people that only watch 4K movies in a dark room at midnight. You watch all types of things; sports, movies, gaming, at all hours of the day. As a Sony lifer, I can admit that Samsung’s way of doing color is a better approach.
@@PrinceOfHavendale Awesome. Yeah thats exactly me. I use my current tv for all sorts bluray, streaming, sports, youtube, gaming. So looking for an allrounder. Dont have too much content, but i do have plenty of 1080 SDR content, so i think you convinced me to lean towards the Samsung

I'm writing from Turkey. I came across your review on Amazon Turkey. Thank you for making an effort to inform us.
Currently, this 55-inch Sony model is priced at $1140 in my country, while the 48-inch LG is $915, making it the most affordable model at an acceptable size of at least 48 inches. Another challenge we face is that Sony has pulled out of our market. Now, we only have LG, Samsung, TCL, Philips, and a few local manufacturers who source panels from LG.
The minimum wage in Turkey is $485, and we have the highest inflation rate in the world. For these reasons, the price-to-performance ratio becomes even more critical for us, and we spend days researching before making a purchase.
This video is one of the greatest I've seen ! Well done ! We can talk about accuracy all night long but
what I see clearly starting at 13.11 is that on the S95B the whites are white where the whites are blue on the Sony , and it's huge ! Why ?
I own an a80j and brought the s95b like 2 months ago to compare them and my goodness it’s made me want to buy a S95B. The whites on the Sony are blue and look very bad compared to the S95B bare in mind I also have the colour temperature on warm not cool. I thought the A95K would fix this but nope same thing. Colours are an improvement from the A80J in the sense that they’re brighter and more vivid but still the whites are not white like the S95B’s.
I do own a S95B and a A80J and I get to compare it daily when I watch a little of both and for me what I see is that the S95B is just better by far but I do wish Samsung had a few of those features that Sony has like smooth gradation and reality control even though it doesn’t need it due to how detailed the S95B is, definitely would be nice to have those features

Would love to see a comparison between both TVs in filmmaker mode without the unnatural overbrightening. Otherwise the Sony has to be set to Cinema Home mode at least I think, since filmmaker mode is closer to the intended look.
Guys guys guys… I’m sure someone out there did that comparison. It’s ok
@Chris I think he likely did all (or most) of the testing before the Samsung S95B's accuracy update to filmmaker's mode dropped and didn't want to re-test everything so he just released the video as is. So now we end up with an outdated comparison. He should have performed all test over or just refrained from releasing this video at all.

Hi. The A90J displays the water shooting out from the ground blue-ish at time 16:07 on my OLED TV. Is it due to VillaMan video camera or is it my TV?
A90J not really losing, yes the S95B is the best 65 / 55" TV you can buy currently, but when we talk 83" there is only the A90J or LG G2, and I believe A90J is still the King here.

The A90J looks really green in comparison to the S95B in this video. Would you say the green push was this stark in person as well?
It doesnt look that way in reality, BUT what u will see is that the s95b, in general, is easier on the eyes. A lot of people found plasma to have a more “natural feel,” and they say the same thing for qd oled. The reason is, the spectral power distribution on qd oled and plasma has very distinct separation between the reds, greens, and blues. To me, this effect is extremely noticeable and actually reduces eye strain and migraines, for me. Anyways, the reason i mention this is because this is the cause of the “greener/bluer” appearance of the a90j.
I definitely prefer the s95b. I own a 65" and a 55" C1 and have basically shelved the c1. The a90j looks great, but the colors on the Samsung look so much better to me.
Some people also prefer comic books instead of real books.

Thanks for your great review. I have a question. Your comparison was the A90j using Dolby Vision vs the s95b using hdr10+. I am wondering, however, how the a90j/DV would compare to a s95b just using hdr10 since that would be a more common combination, since there is so relatively little hdr10+ content available. Is it worth getting the a90j for Dolby Vision alone?
Dolby Vision is highly overrated, and I say this as a LG OLED owner. HDR10 is the standard for a reason. S95B will still beat A90J using HDR10 because of the nature of QD-OLED panel; More vivid, bright and punchy colors and this is exactly what you want for good HDR. Way better specular highlights and better colorpop when needed. QD-OLED simply has way better color brightness than WOLED, which is the reason why WOLED panels look dimmed down. HOWEVER WOLED is still better than LCD and in some scenes also comes close to QD-OLED but 9 out of 10 times QD-OLED comes out on top. I saw S95B vs G2 last week in my local store with 10 other geeks, we tested for like 4 hours one evening, in different content and overall S95B simply stood out as the clear winner. Brighter and more vivid + better gaming experience. G2 became dim in HDR gaming, very dim, it has issue with HGIG and HDR gaming in general. Upscaling is also not that good on the G2. S95B also supports 144 Hz without frameskipping for PC usage. G2 is not a bad TV by any means, but it should be at least 25% cheaper than S95B IMO. A95K is obviously great too but it is simply too overpriced right now, S95B is much much cheaper and they look very identical; Sony is more accurate but Samsung is more punchy and vivid - Personal preference, I like vivid and bright over dimmed down and accurate myself. You need to see QD-OLED in person to really see what people talk about. Side by side on youtube does not do it justice. There is a bigger difference IRL between QD-OLED vs WOLED, not night and day but very noticable.

Did you install the new firmware update on the S95B?
Does the Sony look blue/green tinted in real life?
I have the 55S95B and the 77G2 and at first i thought Wow! The S95B so impactful, but after dialing some settings to normal (contrast enh. Off and color to Auto) i definately prefer the G2 over the S95B. They can go almost evenly bright, but the image processing and clarity are a bit better than the S95B. The S95B has in its return a very impressive colorvolume. Curious as what you found between these two.
I thought the complete opposite gaming seemed much worse on the Lg G2 and brightness was definitely better on the S95B including upscaling and sharpness!
@@NexGenTekYes the S95B is really impressive and enabling Game HDR makes games pop more. I noticed in dark scenes with very bright colorblocks (which was evident in GOTG PS5 Matriarch level) the S95B keeps its colorvolume where the G2 goes more white / diluted to show its brightness. But the G2 has to my opinion more highlight pop and clarity in gaming and movies. This looks a lot like the Sony XR processing. And i like that on the G2 the black / white stabilizer can be easily adjusted. They trade blows, but i do prefer the G2
77-G2 is a beast the best all around OLED in my opinion
So you dialed down some of the settings then say you prefer one over the other. 🤔. I have a C1 S95b Qn90a and the S95b is by far better than either
Consider that both are going to degrade in time.. and the G2 has no room to spare.
Hi. I'm a new subscriber. Can you do a video on your recommended picture settings for the s95b for ps5 and series x? 😀
How is SDR and gaming between the 2? Is the S95b noticeably brighter?
Hands Down
S95B is the brightest OLED TV in gaming, by far. A95K, even in "prefer brightness mode" is not as bright and this is with both TVs fully updated to newest firmware. Saw them last week side by side. If you like punchy and vivid colors, S95B beats A95K. If you like a dimmer but more accurate picture, A95K is slightly better but for allround usage, the Samsung wins and is 1700 dollars cheaper in 65 inch... That is alot.
@@lort6022 Yeah, it's not even a competition especially since the S95b is nearly half the price. Where did you see them side-by-side? My Best Buy only had the C2 and A80k and the Magnolia Best Buy that had every model closed down altogether. Were they in store mode?
Thanks bro. Does anyone know the music name at 3:26?
Great video, best comparisons on the net.
It would have been nice to compare using real people in the demo nideos. For me, the accuracy of skin tones and facial detail is extremely important.
As a owner of a A80J and S95B both TVs make skin tones look really good both natural, only just the S95B can get a lot brighter and can hold it’s colors much better due to it being a QD OLED and having higher color volume is ridiculously good

The brighter tv should be used in the brighter room !
In addition the S95B picture gets washed out when ambient light is in place ... which is caused by it doesn't have a polariser. The Alienware QD-OLED monitor shows the same behaviour...
To get a good picture quality from the S95B you need to use it in a dim (best dark) room without ambient light hitting the screen.
@@marcuscole8796 Got it! Thank you for your knowledge. I’m debating between the LG C2 and the S95B; which one would you recommend?
I can always dim my living room by closing the blinds. I guess I’m looking for a more realistic screen and detail.
@@Carlos-sn1rk In the past weeks I have seen Samsung messing around with 3 totally different firmwares for the S95B.
The final result at this point in time (fw 1302) is the S95B got nerfed by 500 nits brightness capability (1000nits now i/o 1500) and Filmmaker Mode is buggy again ... FMM was perfect with the previous fw 1211 btw.
You can only call this a scam for achieving overwhelming reviews in the beginning and now after some weeks owners have a quite mediocre tv sitting in their homes ... at least not what they thought they have bought.
To be honest: besides Samsungs scam ... the S95B is a "first year product" using a "first year technology" ... this carries a high risk I would never except for myself hence I also wouldn't recommend it to others ... but that's just MY point of view.
QD-OLED tvs from my point of view maybe finished and known for what they REALLY offer (all pros, cons and failures) in 2023 or 2024 ... no earlier I would buy one.
The C2 on the other side is an over the past 9 years thoroughly improved product carrying no surprises at all ... firmware updates are always making it even better as you can see from recently released new firmwares for BX, CX, GX, B1, C1 and G1 ... and not worse ... as happened with the S95B.
My real recommendation would be the G2, because it has some important advantages over the C2 ... and at my location the price premium is between 0 and around 300€ only ... depending on screen size. It also outperforms the S95B in every aspect except pure colour brightness (but which is not required by regular content anyway...)
Advantages vs C2 are:
1. G2 has a heatspreader the C2 doesn't have ... there are several important advantages coming along with a heatspreader in an OLED tv
2. the G2 uses the latest 2022 "EX" panel vs the C2 uses last years "EVO" panel
3. the G2 can got up to 38% brighter (also colour brightness) ... which is driven by 1. + 2.
4. the G2 has a 5 year warranty ... the C2 two years
If you do not want to wall-mount the G2 ... this is no problem as you can get 3rd party stands using the VESA mount of the tv e.g. from Amazon ... and these are about $50 only with a nice black glass base plate. (that's what I did with my 77G2)
I have the Sony A90J and I’m going to get Z9k 85 inch when it releases for my ps5
The 🐐 has resurrected
I don't know what people is seeing!! for me a90j is by far more detailed, crisp and more realistic picture.
Qd oled has a grey black problem. I'd wait till 3rd gen
Isn't A90J from 2021? Isn't 2022's model A90K?
Are these TV's calibrated?
How much closer would this be if we turn live color to max on the A90J?
Not much since s95b still has almost 3x the color volume
If you go vivid mode on both and full brightness, S95B wins for sure. Brighter + more punchy colors. Nature of QD-OLED tech.
I still think the A90J is the superior TV because of it's physical build quality and the addition of a heat sink.
Is the Sony white balanced? it really seems to be producing different colors
WRGB OLEDs appear cool on camera. Nothing you can really do about it
Should have put the Samsung in filmmaker mode as you had the Sony in custom mode which is it's most accurate, we know that the Samsung pops in all other modes we've seen it already from every other reviewer... not a fair comparison video in my opinion
Yeahh I got that same feeling too
Exactly after the S95B got the 1211 update filmmaker mode looks a lot more detailed and bright when it’s supposed to be bright and not so bright when it supposed to be also
Incredible comparison
I bought the A90J just because of Sony's picture processing. Had a Samsung once back in the day of 3D LED tv, remember those? haha
any DS OR BANDING?..
Wow what kind of comparison is this old TV versus the new technology TV or old car versus the new car which one is gonna be better it’s obvious why don’t you compare the Samsung QD to the Sony cutie
Is s95b good enough to justify Passing on 77 inch LG OLED?
To pass on roughly 40% screen size (65" vs 77") never sounds like a good idea ... more like one causing regret afterwards.
In addition as long as you are using an accurate mode (e.g. FMM on the S95B) you will hardly spot a difference between a S95B and a LG C2 or especially a LG G2.
If you are actually prefering the overbrightened and oversaturated picture coming from the S95B ... the best advice will be to wait for next years S95C ... which seems to be released also in a 77" version.
Or ... get a 77" G2 now and replace it next year with a 77" S95C ... if your wallet allows it ... but never save on screen size.
very nice video, can you do a s95b vs a95k
The s95b is cheaper than the a90j in Canada so easy choice for me.
Adjust the temperature just a tad cooler on the Sony and you’d have more punchy color like on the Samsung. The processing on the Sony is what makes it a better tv in my opinion. But you definitely pay for it.
@Adanga mom got 65" A90j for $1400 i got Samsung s94bd revised s95b for $1500 65" we both love our tvs.I play videogames mostly and she watches netflix.
I have to disagree, I own a sony a90j and have owned high end Samsungs. I will take a calibrated tv or uncalibrated tv all day. Plus Dolby vision is better than hrd 10. I used both. Samsung is a good tv, but all this brightness talk is getting tiresome. Accuracy beat bright vividness when the sony looks liked your looking through a window outside. I can always make the sony more vivid if I want, but harder to make Samsung more accurate with out sending money 💰 for the average person 😮. I understand why manufacturers make tvs bright and vivid for the showroom because it gets eyeballs. But unless you want everything to look like a fantasy game. I respect your opinion on it but disagree. People need to start talking about the chip set use and longevity and build quality and warranty. Sony is outstanding in all.
👌
This is the problem of Sony for me. In my region the 65 inch A90J model (2021) costs 2,600€, where the brand new (65 inch) S95b costs 2,000€. For the 600€ difference I can get a soundbar system and on top I will have QD OLED panel. Sorry Sony, but I have to go with the Samsung.
Sad, although you were aware of only the "Filmmaker Mode" provides an accurate picture on the S95B with fw 1211 ... you still choose the inaccurate mode resulting in you are now comparing "an accurate vs an inaccurate reproduction".
Tbh this alone massively decreases the relevance of your comparison as you gave up on comparability in the first place !
Some viewers who are prefering artificial pop over image depth and high contrast may benefit because they can see what this inaccurate "Samsung's intent" will offer them ... but ... for movie enthusiasts like me who are looking for "creator's intent" and a deep, contrasty and realistic looking picture this "comparison" doesn't offer any value.
Sorry for the criticism, but that's how it is for us video and movie enthusiasts ... and I hope you will redecide for your upcoming comparisons and avoid all overly processed content reproduction and regain relevance of your hard work.
Thanks for comparing dv and hdr10+
The vertical banding on the a90j looks really bad
Where on this comparison you see this ????
Great comparison... Waiting for A80K to release in India...
Yah the A80K looks to be pretty good 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Bright areas of colour and white are absolutely not accurate on oled, certainly not after that abl kicks in.
Amazing as always brother!! I would really like to see A90J x G2 - 😍 thank you
Thank you Bro
it would be nice if you make a comparison of Sony QD-OLED A95K tv with Samsung S95B QD-OLED
Yes that would be the more appropriate compression. A90J colour accuracy is better. Samsung always had this fake vivid look. Over saturated sometimes and less contrasting. But some people like it. If you are the purest then Sony will be better. Unless other TVs catch in the colour accuracy department
nice review
It’s crazy that the A90J looks dull next to S95B. Shout out to A90J owners
You are looking at an overbrightened and oversaturated picture on the S95B whereas the A90J is in an accurate mode.
The pictures are no way comparable therefore and the A90J ofc is not as "overly" as the S95B ... so, what does this tell us ? .... precisely NOTHING at all !
@0 random That's not the issue here ... I am convinced the better tv of these two is the S95b ... BUT ... you can't see it because it's real potential is hidden beneath the "overly" Movie Mode being used.
Now it actually looks like the S95B can't compete against the A90J when both tvs are showing an accurate picture.
I am convinced the S95B doesn't need this artificial help !
@0 random Maybe the A90J can't ... who knows ... but ... in fact you can't see accurate pictures being compared here ... so, again, this so-called comparison is pointless ! ... it doesn't show or prove the S95B being better (or worse) ... only that it looks different ... but not comparable due to the wrong modes were used.
You can look as long as you like ... you can only look at incomparable pictures ... proving precisely: zero
@0 random lol ... why should I write a book ? ... I neither care about the Samsung nor the Sony or what your individual preferences are ... I just had to repeat because you haven't read and understood what I actually wrote ... it's NOT what you think/interpret I wrote.
I neither have interest in writing a book or wasting more time in this useless conversation.
Reminder: I already said ... the S95B is BETTER than the A90J !!!
Which proves you obviously are not reading or understanding what I actually pointed out ... so, let's leave it at that.
@0 random LOL you sound like a 12 year old clown. 🤡🤡
Please do the G2 vs A90j NO ONE! Has done that!
How about A80K vs A90J?
A80K is like a A80J. Almost as good as A90J but only almost. S95B is better than all (hence the price).
@@Dr.WhetFarts sadly in my place Samsung did not sold the S95B model (although there are Samsung factories here)
11:55 you can't see any detail in the eyes or feathers!! make them match!
when is someone going to tune this tv for realism?
HDR 10+ details disappear compared to Dolby Vision, including image texture.📽
G2 def hands down. I have always been a stickler for accuracy and natural colors/tone. Samsungs mo has alwyas been a wow factor because people love to make decisions on with their eyes and on first impressions but I was taught first impressions and things that catch your eyes aren’t always what they seem.
A95K and S95B are more accurate than G2 when all are calibrated. Go read reviews. Rtings mentions this. Newest firmware on S95B made it more accurate but you can still unleash the vivid and punchy colors if you want. Some people want that.
Yes Mr. villa man guess what Sony qd a95k is out now and Samsung will have to take a backseat to the master. HD TV test by Mr. Vincent has already put out the comparison video to your Samsung and sony really stepped up its game like always. I am so glad I didn’t jump on the Samsung qd hi train like so many other reviewers have done
The S95B will also win vs the A95K as long as he again will use the overbrightened and oversaturated movie mode on the S95B ... the A95K doesn't do that ... it's way more accurate but less "wowing".
Only with Filmmaker Mode on the S95B and IMAX Enhanced on the A95K you will see comparable pictures.
@@marcuscole8796 well Sony a 95K for me I rather have the best picture quality TV in the market
@@alambe7275 Same for me :-) ... just TVMs comparison video will not show it this way ... it will show advantages for the S95B that aren't there.
☺️ hopefully those TVs get updates to help everyone else to have a better picture@@marcuscole8796
For me, it's accuracy over pop any day. To each their own, I suppose.
Accuracy? Don't give me that crap when cinemas, sdr, hdr and Dv all look different from what they edited at the studio.
@@vb8428 Cope.
@@vb8428 That's nonsense ... you obviously have no idea about the Dolby Vision mastering process.
Dolby Vision mastering is done once only in the workflow ... the result of this one time mastering is: a DV version, the HDR10 version and also the SDR version.
That's why studios tend to increasingly rely on DV mastering ... you get the best quality at the lowest cost ... because one workflow generates all three masters of the most important formats at the same time.
Due to this "one time process" the results are identical for all three formats ... with the technical limitations of the respective format ofc
I fully agree ... in addition all those "wowed" by "the picture pops so much" guys apparently are completely ignoring:
Samsungs overbrightening of all picture elements almost eliminates all shadows on faces or objects ... as a result the picture gets flattened out and loses a lot of it's original depth !
Yes, the picture "shouts" at you ... but more like a flat poster and not like a real person !
...TVM also states this in his video ! ... the S95B often ruins contrast compared to the (accurate) A90J ... which is entirely unnecessary and not the technologies fault.
Furthermore the S95B makes up specular highlights where there aren't any ... this is caused by it's internal tone mapping is just overwhelmed with the overbrightened approach.
It is beyond me how anybody can prefer these flat and artificial looking pictures (S95B) over realistic looking pictures which are showing a fantastic depth sometimes even close to like they were filmed in 3D (A90J) !
@@marcuscole8796 explain why the s95 looks more realistic then dv is garbage
I primarily use my TV for streaming. Netflix, HBO, Disney+, Prime Video and some next gen gaming. TV is also displayed in the living room so it's not in a dark dungeon thought not super bright either.
I can't decide on an OLED Vs Qled. And the other thing is Samsung TVs don't support DV. And streaming services don't support HDR10+. So Samsung seems like a bad choice? DV vs HDR is a huge difference when the support for HDR10+ adaptive is non existent for my use.
You may face some problems due to the static nature of HDR10 ... like "The Manadalorian" on Disney+ will be too dark with a limited contrast range resulting in a less impressive HDR.
In general: as long as static HDR10 is mastered correctly and you use a tv capable of achieving 900nits peak or more ... there is no big difference between HDR10 and Dolby Vision ... unfortunately there is still a number of suboptimal produced content out there (and most probably will never disappear entirely).
DV is always as accurate as it can get and always using the full potential of your tv especially if it can only achieve e.g. 550 nits (other than HDR10).
If you focus on getting a tv capable of achieving 1000nits peak (or close to) you will in most cases be fine with HDR10 only ... because the usual 1000nit mastered content doesn't leave enough "playground" for DV for showing it's potential.
If you are looking for a very powerful and a "as hazzlefree as possible" tv with any feature installed you may possibly need ... check out the LG G2. It's for several reasons the much better choice compared to the S95B and also outperforms any LCD tv out there (except for extremely bright room usage ofc).
Now do the same HDR10+ vs Dolby Vision comparison between the S95B and the A95K, please 😁
Man WRGB looks blue rather than white
Great work as usual, the A90j is sooooo blue. “No sirI don’t like it”. See what I did there?! 👀🤔😂
S95b is amazing in a dark room but suffers from grey blacks in a bright room which defeats the purpose of buying an oled tv. Only people who watch the tv at night should buy this tv or people who don't mind poor contrast in a bright room. Samsung and Sony need to get rid of the put the polarizer back.
Only when shining a light on the display.
Disagree u can literally see yourself on a reflective display completely ruins the experience
Not true. Light needs to be hitting it. I have s95b & blacks r perfect unless fairly moderate of light is directly hitting panel.
@@saladmaster1392 What if the light is on the side and your eyes are not directly seeing the reflection? Do you know what I mean? Normally it shouldn't affect you until you sit at a particular angle where that window becomes visible but does it affect the S95b?
Samsung already has removed the polariser from the S95B ... to achieve higher brightnesses than the max. 600 nits they had with QD-OLED in 2021.
I personally hope Sony, LG, Panasonic will never remove the polariser ... the polariser has an important function (other than reducing light output ofc^^).
We can be glad for not having the negative effects of a missing polariser with the other brands ... which are: a permanent reddish tint even in a dark room and elevated with ambient light ... and visibly elevated blacks and a washed-out picture with only some ambient light in place.
Deffo the S95, Sony looked blueish and flat, the HDR thing on the wood at the end was brighter on the S95 and looked clearer. I own 1 of them and honestly I think hdr10 plus does a good if not better job than dolby v. I have had a cx and c1. Just my opinion lol. Ty for the vid.
HDR10+ is a "fake dynamic" format because it is algorithm-based and guesses dynamic meta data on top of pre-mastered HDR10 content.
DV on the other hand can only be manually mastered by colorists ... hence there is no guessing at all. Needless to point out which one is better ... or even real.
But whether HDR10+ is fake or not is anyway not relevant as it is a DOA format with close to zero support and content...
@@marcuscole8796 yeah I hear all that but on first hand experience I personally prefer it. I thought I'd like all the accuracy stuff but tbh I just couldn't get used to it. Whatever it's doing on netflix and other apps I enjoy it. Not for everyone I guess 👍
@@Takeme_DCUO Well of course ... what you like or not is entirely your own decision :-) ... and discussing about it is completely useless ... as with any other subjective matter :-)
This is totally fine as at the end of the day we gotta have fun ... whether you get there with 100% accuracy or with psychedelic distorted pictures doesn't matter at all ;-)
Good or better is relative and lies in the eye of the beholder ... I learned (for my needs) the closer I get to accuracy and reality the more fun it's for me ... but that's just me :-)
Another issue I have is with principles ... I know how intensive Samsung is cheating again and again as far as I can tell from observing them throughout the past 5 years (much more and aggressive than any other of their competitors) ... and ... I actually hate cheaters ... that's how it is ... how I am.
HDR10+ is an invention from Samsung to only undermine accuracy and Dolby Vision ... HDR10+ cheats ... Samsung permanently cheats and tries to scam ... so whatever they do it always leaves a bad taste ... and even when it's great at first glance ... I every second expect the ugly other side of it to pop up.
I have zero trust in them and as a consequence zero respect...
Just to make clear:
I very much appreciate Samsung Display they are great and developing fantastic products ... it's Samsung Visual Display only which is the black sheep here.
@@marcuscole8796 haha yeah everything you say is almost right, but people don't buy samsung expecting seriously accurate let alone non psychedelic lol. They're known for it and tbh with you I love that hehe. No they aren't perfect and cheat most things but that's OK for some. I used to love Sony but when they lied that vrr was straight out the box on the ps5 and it took 18 months to get, pushing cosmetic crap and not really caring what gamers were asking for I went right off them. They lie about tons of stuff but people still love em lol. It's all good as long as people are happy with their purchases. It's like taxes and death with tvs, it'll go on forever with each year 😂👍
@@Takeme_DCUO lol ... interesting you are mentioning Sony, because this my personal second black sheep :-)
The vrr story you are mentioning already was embarrassing ... but they are on my radar for much longer:
in 2017 they made their first OLED (A1E) ... and they were that anxious the tv turned out being very dim and their ABL was extremely annoying ... so far it's quite ok ... to stay on the safe side with your first year product ... but with this tv also their Dolby Vision desaster started:
LG introduced DV in 2016, Sony wanted to catch up and announced (only announced!) DV for their tvs at CES 2017 ... after that they forced Dolby Labs. to introduce this horrible "Low Latency" version of Dolby Vision, because their tv were not powerful enough for decoding DV.
And - as you wrote for vrr - even for this inferior LLDV it took them more than a year to get a firmware update released which installed their so-called DV on their tvs.
To cut a long story short:
1. Sony's handling of Dolby Vision throughout the past 5 years is a desaster ... it took them 4 years (until 2021) to get it right
2. their "promising features and delivering one year later" started in 2017 with DV ... and it carried on with other features (e.g. vrr) ... for me Sony now is
3. well-known for selling unfinished products ... together with the promise to complete the tv/console later on (or never^^) ...
4. even their 4K-players still have no HDR/DV detection in 2022 ... you have to manually switch DV on and off with almost every movie you are watching ... that's a bad joke in 2022
For me the difference roughly is: both are scammers ... Samsung "could do it right" but has decided to be and to stay on the dark side ... Sony for me is just incapable and slowly turning into a shadow of their former shine. (for tvs only ... cameras and projectors Sony is still top notch)
The A90J created hope and the A95K might as well (not sure yet) ... so, we'll see.
Don't get me wrong I am a (was a huge) fan of Sony ... my very first tv in 1986 was a large and fantastic Trinitron CRT ... and I still use a 42" Sony rear-projection tv in the other room ... but since 5 years their OLED tvs carry too much flaws to convince me of buying one.
When it comes to a purchase decision it's either a Panasonic or a LG OLED for me.
S95B is best overall this year!
Not in upscaling low bit content. Looks amazing in hdr and gaming. Regular tv watching no so much. A90j>s95b upscaling
@@DallasNYY A90J doesn't even clean up low bit rate content you shouldn't even be watching low bit rate. I use UA-cam TV and it looks great. Upscaling surpassed Sony from last year. Haven't seen this year.
Everyone is entitled to there opinion. Pretty bold statement considering the a95k hasn’t even been released yet. Samsung ruins their TVs with Filmware updates qn90b and their interface is very laggy I personally think thT the a95K will be TV of the year. Brightness isn’t everything. Enjoy your s95b
