Great Video. Can't wait to see videos for the LG G4 and C4 and what TV will be on top
Please never stop adding the blooper reels at the end of the videos :-)
Hahaha, they're not going anywhere 😄
Abby, you are awesome! Your delivery is bright, fun, and engaging. Love the content.
Thank you for the kind words! 😄
Bruh
I just found this channel and I became a fan instantly 🙌🏻! Keep up with the good job guys. PS: the blooper is hilarious 😂
Hahaha glad to hear that! Thanks for watching, stay tuned for many new reviews coming soon 😄
Website is also amazing. Been using it for years
Thank you for the great review. Can you tell me if the 77inch is QD-OLED? Thank you
Peter
I got the 55S90D for $1,136.37 including tax! Super slick deal and cheaper than the 55S90C close out sales I saw! Extremely happy with the purchase and price (using it for my gaming/work Area). It's my first QD-OLED TV and I'm loving it so far. I still have my 77C9 and 77A80J which I love as well!
Edit: How to check if you have a QD OLED Panel (2024 model; i think it may work for 2023 as well) - When displaying content/an image, you can use your smartphone camera feature. Get really close to the tv and zoom to the maximum your camera will zoom. If you see what looks like a cross pattern, it's a QD OLED. If its not a cross pattern, its a WOLED.
Loved the content as always 10/10. I would have loved to have seen it next to the s90c for a direct comparison. Everyone keeps saying it's basically the same. So what are the actual differences?
Thanks Abby !!
how is the white luminance uniformity? My S89C becomes darker blue on the top right of the panel when the whole screen is white. Is this issue present on the S90D too?
Thank you so much for all of the reviews! I was just wondering will there be a 77inch for the Samsung S90d? I cant seem to find it in that size
We usually buy the size we expect to be useful to a larger number of users. That usually ends up being the 65”. And since we buy all the products we test ourselves, we don’t usually test mutliple sizes. Sorry about that!
65 inch S90C selling for 1400 USD in Australia through direct Samsung shop, insane value.
Here in Brazil 55S90D with a big promotion less than 900 usd
Do you really notice a big difference between the color gamut/brightness of G4 vs S90/S95D?
how can you tell what kind of panel it is? and that audio problem about no dts.. is that just on the one input?
I agree 💯 with quality control my Q9fn65 I had to send back 3 times first time screen didn't work 2nd the coating was peeling 3rd the back panel was falling off. I should have sent it back a 4th time it had 1 broken pixel in the bottom right corner but this process had taken 6 months and Samsung was giving any discounts or store credits. I do love the TV though even with all these issues. I wish they'd update the firmware with Xbox and they made a bunch of promises of One connect box upgrades they haven't done yet.
Are you sure it does LPCM 7.1? I notice that Rtngs often report this wrongly for Samsung TV. Say you connect a PS5 and set the PS5 to PCM, do you get 7.1 passthrough or rather only 5.1 or worse stereo? I bet it shows stereo like for all Samsung TVs. Otherwise pls let us know how you test the audio passthrough.
Is there a way to know which panel I got before I open the box?
When will the 3rd generation panel arrive in Canada for the S90D or S92D? Great work people!!
You covered all the bases nicely, and the comparison was nice! However you missed whether or not the S90D has actual HDMI 2.1 ports, can you clarify?
The Samsung S90D/S90DD supports the full 48Gbps bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 on all four HDMI ports.
I currently have the 55 S90D I got discounted for review.
Do yourself a favor & just get the S89C/S90C if buying now, at least until these drop considerably in price. They should mostly be Gen 2 panels just like the S90D as well.
Only if the 77 S90D (or maybe if S89D) turns out to be a Gen 3 panel would I recommend right now.
So s90d at this point If it's 65inch is a confirm 2nd gen panel?
@@leoncloud6683 Most likely. You can get a service remote to confirm, but I’ll save you the time since I did for my 55 already.
Lots of useful detail, yet not one mention of the one thing I want to know. How does the bluetooth auracast feature perform?
4:02 this whole eARC limitation only matters if your media source (bluray player/ Apple TV) is plugged into the TV's HDMI for picture and the eARC HDMI is used to pass on sound to your AV receiver to handle sound right? If you plug your source into your receiver to handle audio and use your receiver's HDMI out into the TV, it's a non-issue right?
and if you're using a built-in app on your TV as a media source then god bless you i guess
Is it using the new 3rd Gen panel or its last year's 2nd?
I do watch A lot of SDR Free to air And need a TV that will clear up the NOISE What brand,Model Is Best ???
Excellent review. Thanks.
Thank you! 😄
It's so close to an S90C. Bought the latter production of the S90C and the panels seems to be the same with the S90D. Super thin panels. The difference is minimal, so I'll stick with the S90C for a long time :) Thanks RTINGS!
Yeah S90D is basically the S90C carried over with a new letter at the end. S95D is where the improvements are with the brighter gen 3 panel
Some clarification on the 55 inch S90D GXZD panel sold in Brazil. It is QD-Oled.
Does this panel use third generation panel or is it still using last year’s second generation panel?
Any information on the devices lan speed?
As long as I know every 55" s90d is qdoled. But what about I get a woled how many nits. It has less nits than the qdoled?
Just ordered the 65 inch S90C on Costco Canada, got it for almost half the price the S90D is selling for
Great review. I'm not interested in TVs that are likely to suffer burn in, but I'll watch an Abby review any day of the week.
Amazing review, I have a question is the s95c better?

It's last years Flagship, so It likely is.
If you take a look through our comparison viewer, the S90D is slightly better in terms of both processing and HDR brightness www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/samsung-s95c-oled-vs-samsung-s90d-s90dd-oled/37894/49703?usage=1&threshold=0.10
The S90D is even a little cheaper than the S95C!
Hmm seems difficult to justify this over just getting the S90C
Especially playing panel lottery with the S90D 42" and 48" being WOLED, 55", 65", 77" have a chance of either being WOLED or QD-OLED and the 83" being WOLED
great review!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed our review! 😄
For this price you could get the S95C and still come in a bit under.
How is qn90b in 2024? Also how does QN90B in comparison to QN85C. I could not buy other model from samsung neo qled as they're very highly priced in my place.
Which one has better local dimming and less blooming.

Great review. thx
Thank you for watching! 😄
Not having Dolby Atmos is fine and most people wouldn't notice and it really doesn't really make much difference but not having DTS would be such a pain for most people. I don't mind it on my S90C because I have a receiver with EARC out. I am sure that most people don't have that.
LG OLEDs used to have the same problem for a few years till last year when they started supporting DTS again.
Of course, most people don't notice because the Blu-ray switches to Dolby digital which is normally lower in quality compared to DTS-HD which is lossless on blurays. Blu-rays for newer movies are coming out with Dolby Atmos but most people who buy Blu-rays watch a lot of older movies.
im fine with woled for the 48 inch due to qd-oled isn't available for that size. plus i have a lg c1 and can not buy another lg cause my setup is a gaming type so if i have two lg tvs one remote will control both tvs so im fine
There she is! Lol. Great in depth review as usual!
Ohh I am so sad there is no philips 8 series oled over there. I can't find out where it lines up with all the other high end tvs
I love samsung QDOLED tv, the colors are much superior and produces more natural skin tones than LGs oled tvs
It is unacceptable that the number one company in television sales has such poor quality control of its products in practically all of its price ranges.
Main reason I’m only interested in LG
As Tom Cruise suggested that we should disable Motion smoothening while watching movies to avoid soap opera effect but if I do that how bad will the stutter be? as you said motion smoothen can clear out much of the stutter but how bad it is for movie maniacs. Is OLED not for movie enthusiasts ?
OLED is ABSOLUTELY for movie enthusiast!
@@serge4in1what about stuttering at 24fps ?
@@bruceparker3139 judder or stutter, on an OLED screen is exaggerated because of it's almost instantaneous pixel response.
When will there be a review on the LG, G4, and a review on mla burn in ???
Our G4 review is published, the video review just isn’t ready yet! www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/g4-oled
that jacket is fire
👀👀
Will you review the qn90d?
Definitely! You can track a potential review here: www.rtings.com/discussions/tLV8iwCj1iGTxH7Z/review-updates-samsung-qn90d
When you talk about HDMI connectics of such tvs don't forget to explain which kind of HDMI they are, 2.0 or 2.1, you missed it
Nice video nice review keep up the good work
when come the test for the 42 inch s90d ?
No plans to buy and test that model unfortunately :(
@@RTINGSdotcomare you payed by Samsung or something?
Please,,make videos about gsync latency test with monitor gaming like asus dell asus rog acer, and the best nvidia panel setting
👀👀
5:14 so the power of the sun, in the palm of my hands?
Thanks for another great RTINGS review! I have owned 2 flagship Samsung TVs and they both had problems, so it doesn't surprise me that you found a defect in the unit you tested. I have come to suspect that while many Samsung TVs have excellent picture quality, they may not be built with the best components. I have a relative who purchased 2 LG OLED TVs around the same time, and both have continued to work perfectly without a single glitch. I'd certainly like to take advantage of the benefits offered by QD-OLED, but I have concerns about the build integrity of Samsung TVs (and the Sony QD-OLED models are so EXPEN$IVE...)
hdr brightness 10%: 1193cd/m2 and get 8.7 score meanwhile g3: 1410cd get 8.5, a95L: 1146cd get 8.6, s95c: 1213cd get 8.5 score. higher the candela lower the score or what? it doesn't make sense then a95L would get the highest score for lowest candela
Waiting for Samsung qn 800D 800D review and upscaling performance details
👀
S90c or s90d how much the brightness is noticed? I want the 55 inch. Witch one to go for?
They'd be about the same. Using the same panels

The C friend, but if you're about to get it, get it a bit faster because they're about to expire from the market soon 😉.
I truly don’t understand why they can’t add DTS support
They need to bring one ui to TVs
😊I saw Abby presenting, I clicked the video so fast 💨 n furious! 🎊
Which ones better LG C4 or S90D?

How does the S90D compare to the S95C? The S95C is currently cheaper.

Worth the upgrade from Lg CX to Lg G4?

Best Tv Out there in the market....obviously looks terrible out of the box , but it has the tools....
Can't Wait For 2024 Sony Bravia Tvs 😍
❤❤❤ I will take this any day over Matte screen :) 😊
I agree but the matte one isn't too bad
@@nttinvis says eveyone who has NOT had full gloss screen . Once u have glossy laptop screen u can’t go back with matte . If u have had matte all the time , then it’s not too bad .
@Yoga_Tv_buying i dont like matte i saw s95d its matte isn't bad for a matte screen but it still hurtz quality
@@nttinvis hey appreciate that. Yeah “not too bad” is def too bad enough for most tho for TV buying .Matte screen is like a STACY/chad has acne scars all over face. Cant escape it.
@Yoga_Tv_buying i agreee it destroys the color vibration and makes it look less vibrant and crisp, they should just do like the gorilla glass anti reflective
In Europe s90c is the only option
S90d is not qd oled unless in 65 inch
So 48-55-77-83 all WOLED
Is QD-OLED better than W-OLED?
SIGNIFICANTLY. I will either get QD-OLED, or Premium LED. NO way I will ever get WOLED ever .😅
QD-OLED has the best color and contrast. Nothing comes close to it right now.
They should be selling it as one or the other, not leaving it as a lottery.
LG Chem/LG Displays dominate in the output as well as the quality department of WOLED and OLED displays. Which when bringing up QD-OLED this is primarily a Samsung Display product that is in its infancy stage of production compared to LG's manufacturing and various size offerings in a given year. Thus I would advise getting a product that suits your intended life expectancy which from Samsung not providing this information would only leave historical information as insight, but as mentioned before is in the first year's of production of the display technology for consumer use. The other part is HDR Codec support which Samsung is not folding Dolby Vision into their tv's which some see as a negative for this high end of a tv but support other codec support for HDR.
If you got this far their is also MLA OLED which is mostly a LG/Panasonic OLED with a Micro Lens Array that can focus more light to be displayed outwards in a more straight pattern then disperse on its own which it leading to brighter perceivable output.
I'm excited only when my current TV dies. It's a 85" Sony 4K LCD pre Dolby Vision support. What ever is the most mature product with the best mix use and support for most of what I throw at it. The brightness wars have already begun but so has the efficiency wars which will kill some of the progress of products utilizing older time tested methods of getting desired output. This has introducing now only slight improvements compared to prior years leaps between models (incremental). I do like the quality of displays as a whole are getting better for lower money which as a consumer becomes a buyer market. I would like to support a well established brand that I have had good fortune with ie. Sony and Panasonic but would fully be down to do a refresher course of whom has the best goods on the market when the time comes.
I hate this thin TV trend. All they’re doing is making the TV more fragile. Oof. I mean it’s not like the TV sits more flush to the wall because of the bottom part 🤷♂️
Top🎉😊 Hallo from Bavarian 😊
The panel lottery on 55 inch is holding me back on hitting buy button and this is currently in my cart, cant understand why samsung cant clarify their stand on this. Region wise this might change.
It’s gonna be qd oled for 55-77, it’s only 42,48, and 83 that use woled
@@alexx1917 Hope so i bought it just now.
Kindly do review for phones too please. Samsung galaxy S24 ultra
👀
I bought this TV. The top edge of the frame is not straight, it is curved in the center and on the left edge. Samsung said that this is allowed and they refused to exchange my TV for a good one. In the end, they told me that it was bent during transportation or during installation on the wall. I paid a lot of money for a crooked TV...
Very disappointed.
Why has better rating in HDR than the g3? The g3 has 1400 nits VS 1200 in the Samsung
Our experts are happy to answer any in-depth questions via our forums on our website! www.rtings.com/forums
S90D is the best TV ever according to Quantum TV
Remember people: Never update your firmware on a /Samsung/ TV. They will nerf it to oblivion before newer models come out. Samsung is the only company that does it.
Is this model free from VRR problems?
I think all oleds have this problem
"SDR content is significantly dimmer than HDR content" Isn't it supposed to be?
55 s90c o 55 s90d ??? Cual compró 🙏🏼

I wouldn't buy another Samsung product. I've had Samsung TV's and Clothes Washers and they all fail prematurely (perhaps by design). My 12 Y.O. Panasonic Plasma is still going great however.
No DTS while LG‘s TVs have it is a no-go
❤BONJOUR!!!!🎉
Ads on tv? Well, pull off the network cable, solved.
LG C4 when?
We’re currently testing the unit we purchased! You can track our review here: www.rtings.com/discussions/L8185J3fophocyhb/review-updates-lg-ss
I wouldn't buy Samsung becaus ethe software truly gets worse and slower with time. My QN90A sometimes is unusable, like it's not just slow. It's infuriating.
My old 7000U I moved to the bedroom is the same way.
I got a Q70C and I couldn’t agree more + the picture quality is garbage for 4k panel. No matter if I max sharpness, picture remains blurry and it’s motion handling is bad, a lot of ghosting. Had a technician come in and he said it’s working perfectly as intended and there’s nothing wrong with it…..
My Sony android tv which is only 4-5 years old is terribly slow now. Most smart TVs will slow down after a few years.
Get an apple tv 4k...
You just described literally every single computer. They'll all slow down eventually
น่นรักจัง🥰
The panel lottery problem is not whether you’re getting W or QD OLED, that much is very clear: 55-77 are QD, others are not.
The real issue is Samsung not divulging whether they are using 2nd generation QD OLED panels that were in the the S90C and S95C, or they are using the new third generation panels found in the S 95D. THATs the “panel lottery” problem😡
Loved my ks8000 but when it comes to OLED I’ll stay with LG they have the best oled’s and have awesome customer service
same standard Review
Abby is Queen 🙌🙌
Stop with that, it’s embarrassing
An upgrade would be to an LG or Sony. Lol.
My Samsung continues with eARC issues, never again 😂
Had mine serviced, motherboard replaced and it works but not seemless 😂 takes turning TV on must be done using Samsung remote not Apple TV remote, choosing the HDMI output I want and then turning Apple TV on using its remote, this way enables eARC handshake 99.9% of the time
Samsung TVs are a no go for me due to their firmware bugs, their quality control and because they still refuse to support Dolby Vision, which is pretty much an industry standard at this point for HDR. I wouldn’t buy Sony TVs either because they are still cheapskates when it comes to HDMI 2.1 ports with only 2 of the 4 usually being 2.0 only.
The lack of full DTS support rules this one out for me.
Will LG or Sony have got it right?
You won't have to wait much longer to find out!👀
Who can make review for 83 inch model ? It’s use WOLED panel and that is ? Really
Abby I love you
I like Abby!
So do we!
If I were Samsung I think I’d seriously reconsider the whole not supporting Dolby Vision thing. It’s clear that Hollywood have chosen it as their premium HDR format of choice and Samsung’s stubborn refusal to not support it could end up leaving them behind in the years to come.
I love samsung phones, but having had bad experiences with their tvs, I'll stick to LG.
Hi Abby😊
Stop simping
Buggy mess. Smh…
This is exactly why I don't touch Samsung's OLED and always tell ppl to stay away.
