Hey everyone! Thanks as always for all the great comments! As someone has pointed out, the Auto Mode didn’t trigger the Tv to cover BT. 2020, which I absolutely SHOULD have caught. But I was kinda flying since I had to wait for a replacement. With BT 2020 engaged it will cover in the 90s. I’ll go over this in the VS. with the G3!
One big problem with Samsung’s One Connect box is that at my new house that’s fairly higher-end, the wall for the TV is already pre-wired with HDMI 2.1 e-ARC inputs and power, so as much as I would love to get this TV it’s a no go for my installation - which sucks. Hopefully the Sony version is just all built-in like usual.
God I thought u were serious, and the Oscar trophy 🏆 goes to Caleb
@@993mike then just get S90C, same hardware
Hi, have you tried both tv's. samsung s95c and lg g3. In your opinion, which one is better uncalibrated out of the box, which one would you choose yourself?
Wait, Samsung still doesn't auto-detect the right color space for content?
I am glad that you are finally taking TV reviews seriously and giving it the emotional depth it needs 😔
Haha love this intro. Good to see you injecting more of your personality into these reviews 👍
Thanks!
Brilliant video it was the one I’ve been waiting for and it has confirmed for me my next TV.
Best intro ever! Also, I just bought a 65'' S95C and it will be delivered tomorrow! So excited!
I ordered the S95C this morning and then I saw your review. Now I am really looking forward for delivery. 😊
Caleb you're the man - look forward to every new TV and audio review - you're the AV GOAT lol
I loved the intro , And your reviews, one of the things I wait for.
I still have a LG C2 42” for pc use, bought it the day it came out.
Recently got calman home and calibrated every mode, i’m so happy with it except for one thing.
I would love a 42” size pushing 1500+ nits as well.
Would make a great gaming experience.
Was looking at this tv for black friday sale and wanted to check out some reviews first. Stumbled onto your channel and must say I'm impressed by your work. Great, great review. I will buy the TV today.
Great review Caleb. Loving the comedic opening. Reminds me of Throttle House intros. Keep up the great work!
Your reviews are absolutely fantastic. There are so many points in this video that were really helpful. The extra attention detail, like panning the static and active is just second to none
Caleb thanks for your hard work! will share this
Our verdict on the LG G3 vs. Samsung S95C duel A look at the final scores reveals: The LG G3 and the Samsung S95C lead the field of the best TVs and would win any other comparison with the competition. The differences between the two top models are minimal and the price for both is just under 3,000 euros. Even when it comes to picture quality, which is the decisive argument for many, the televisions are on par. So which TV is best for you depends a lot on your needs. If a well thought-out remote control for linear operation is important to you, we recommend the LG G3. The remote control of the Samsung S95C is designed for streaming and otherwise seems notchy. If you want to save on a soundbar for the time being, you will get better sound with the Samsung S95C. If you already own a soundbar that works with either the Q Symphony or WOW Orchestra, we recommend that you use the corresponding TV model. If you want to put the TV on a dresser, you will be happy with the stand of the Samsung TV. With the LG G3, you have to invest an additional 200 euros for a stand. It is exactly the opposite if you prefer wall mounting. The design of the LG G3 is precisely designed for this and includes everything that is necessary for perfect installation.
Thanks for that useful information- especially re the stand/wall mount
Sounds amazing. Caleb, appreciate your humor and hard work on this. That said, I hope it's not being overhyped like the previous version. I'm wondering what the Sony A95L will have to offer over this? Will it's tendency to have superior color accuracy be enough? Looking forward to it. Obviously Sony will have Dolby Vision but will it's gaming features be lacking in any way comparatively?
I expect the gaming experience will be superior on the Sony they got PlayStation! HYPE
Dear Mr. Denison,
Thank you for all the great reviews, I enjoy them very much. What are the videos that you're using in the Color segment (aroind 15:50)? Would love to check how they look on my old(er) Bravia.
Thank you.
im grateful for this channel for sure
Please Caleb, do review the S90C. Just bought it a few weeks ago, and I'd love watching you reviewing it. In the meantime, this helps :)
Oh, I plan on it! QN90C first, then S90C! 🎉🎉🎉
The thing that blew me away about this tv was its viewing angles. I thought nothing could beat oled tv viewing angles but the qd oleds sh!t on every TV in this regard. I saw no noticeable degradation of brightness when looking at this tv from the side and because it’s so bright it really stands out next to any TV next to it (like at Best Buy or Costco).
My biggest concern with Samsung TVs though, is its reliability and consistency in panel quality.
The intro had me absolutely DYING....XP
Keep up the solid work Caleb!
Lol love that beginning. Loads of pesonality in your videos Caleb...awesome! So heres my thing, and im quite sure im not alone here....is it better than the G3??
And with Samsung even pushing the QN95C on me...how does the QN95C compare here?
I knew where you were going with the beginning, but oh my goodness, that was hilarious!
Love the review. Caleb - You look gooood and healthy! Good for you sir
Great review thanks for the awesome work
Just bought one. Thanks for video was very useful in helping decide
As always great content... Here is an idea though ... What about a revisit of older flagship tvs and how do they stand in todays market ...
For example the 2020 samsung QE65Q95T... And how does it fare today ... And what would be the equivalent tvs that you could get today, that would match it or surpass it in the budget category, if any ....
That would be great for people that would either looking to get a bargain on an older model or people that are looking to upgrade and would like to see from where in the line up should start looking in order for their upgrade to make sense ....
Just an idea ...😉
Keep up the good work both in reviews and weight loss 😉🤘👏
Yeah Caleb love the new review style
Great video. I'm looking forward to you comparing it with G3 and the future Sony.
As always, great review. Any plans on doing a 77" S90C review? The 77" has the same panel as the S95C and is $1000 cheaper. Thanks.
Hey Caleb great video, im obsessing over buying this tv but im on a budget atm lol, is Samsung coming up with more qd oled tvs in this size and maybe even better ones?
Hey @Caleb. Great review as always. Could you do a comparison video of using Chromecast / Apple TV vs native apps? You stated that you would default to your Chromecast for the Google TV experience (heartily agreed), but there are some corners of the internet that believe native TV apps are superior in streaming quality versus the apps on the Chromecast / Apple TV. Would appreciate your thoughts here and maybe a comparison video?
I've made my decision. The A95L will be too expensive for me and I was debating for a while between the G3 and the S95C. I decided to go with the 77' Samsung simply because of the versatility that the one connect box will provide for my living room setup. My current living room TV is a 55' Q6F from 2018 so I can't wait! 😊
huge upgrade bud
I've got a Q8FN and never bother to update the Firmware. I heard Samsung would downgrade their older TVs picture quality through Firmware updates. Do you think this is the case?
@@vprrealtor6244 my KS9000was ruined through bad software updates, i had a path to get my money back and get a q8fn but i was lazy, your tv is a beast with like 90 percent t2020 coverage, never update it dude.
@@vprrealtor6244 although I'm usually "Anti-Samsung", all TV companies do this 😅
DONT UNDERSTAND ALL THE HYPE WITH FILMMAKER MODE ! SDR OR HDR HDR 10 looks like it's in standard mode. Calibrated my 8K with my S23 ultra movie mode 😊
This feels like a Linus tech tips video staring Caleb Denison👍
Linus who? 😂😂😂
Nah we don’t need that lol
What did he drop it on the floor?
Yep it seems like Caleb has become a sub-brand of digital trends. Kudos to Caleb!
What are you talking about? I've been watching Linus for over a decade and I didn't get any of those vibes.
I was confused when you said Sony A95L but in the video somebody wrote Sony A97L 😊. Great review Caleb! Can't wait for the final Top 3 TV for this year to coming out.
So dramatic! Haha love it, Caleb if I knew how, I'd enter you as my nomination for best newcomer in next year's PrimeTime EMMYs, bravo!
As this video gets posted, here in the UK we were literally building our store demo 85" QN800C 8K. And again was initially dubious about the stand (same design as here) however it holds the weight beautifully, and what a great upgrade on the rear design for holding the One connect Box over 2022. 👏 Cannot wait to build the rest of this years lineups of TVs.
What about the 900C?
@DYAUS haven't seen one yet in the flesh. I imagine Samsung like most years have gone for an all in encompassing one Design for their 8K/S95C and QN95C.
@@chris10053 I was referring to their FLAGSHIP QN900C. Not the 4K models, which are the QN95C AND QN90C.
@DYAUS and so was I when I said 8K. Which encompasses QN900C/QN800C and QN700C. The stand will be exactly the same as Caleb has built here as it was on our QN800C. Which to start with looks dubious but once stood up and built is soo solid. 👌
@@chris10053 sorry, didn't realize you were only referring to the stand. Yes you are correct, the stand is EXTREMELY nice and durable. Plus leaves room for a sound bar. But my 85QN900C is still not as bright as my 85X95K in the most accurate modes. I can make the Samsung ever so slightly brighter using things like, contrast enhancer, while in "active" tone mapping mode. But all that just to get the "extra" brightness, is strange. I do think it's great with black level and blooming, although still not quite as good as my Sony X95K. But either equal, or so close that I can't tell the difference. Where my Sony destroys the 900C is the motion. It's night and day. So weird that a TV HALF THE PRICE can match the Samsung in every aspect, yet beat it in other aspects.
Great video trying to decide between this TV the lg g3 and Sony a95l. I liked the TV stand where's it from? Thanks keep up the great videos
More than happy with my S95B, but looks like an awesome TV. Well done, Samsung. Much respect.
That connect box is massive! 😮
I love this channel!😁
Agree with reservations of tizen OS. Can the TV be setup as monitor only and then add a chromecast? Will it retain the use of the factory remote when using chromecast? Struggling with the decision between this and last year's model, hard to justify the price jump however.
I cried, I laughed, I learned. 😂🎉. Great intro, Caleb!
You are No 1 in reviewing terms. Thanks.
The static hdr feature sounds great
Would love a comparison view on the s90c vs the s95c
Caleb, well done my friend, you killed the open
Amazing video. Really learning a lot. So LG or samsung oled? I’m sure both are great.
huh! Didn't know you could act Caleb and yes you do suit the zipper lol! another great review from the best guy in the business keep up the great mate!
I am interested in the furniture the tv stands on. How can I find it?
🤙🏼 *I dno what I liked more, the whole openin or that laugh,* do more!! 🤙🏼
I got this TV and can't agree more with your review, this TV it's a treat, I'm impress on how punchy, vivid and bright the TV is, viewing angle it's amazing, gaming it's a delight, even the kids loved this, I had to watch Moana around 100 times on my older TV but with this TV Te Ka scenes are something else (the reds and black looked so wow) we are all super happy (even wife changed her mind from "too expensive" to "wow you were right, it was really worth it"), on the downside Tizen is not my favorite a few apps I can't find and old shows like Seinfeld on Netflix looked terrible (maybe I need to change settings but not sure how), sound is not really a problem since we see movies only after getting our kids to bed with modest volume and then play games with gaming headsets, so this fits all my needs. P.S. For installation I recommend watching tutorials on UA-cam. The base is heavy and not easy to assemble, but one connect box is very worth it. I was able to get the 55' for 1.3k around $700 less than Sony 55X90L so I think this was the best for her value
Is not having dolby vision a deal breaker? You mentioned it a few times that it's a bummer, but worth going with the LG OLED instead?
Haven’t watched this yet but does it continue the awesome job of dimming a dark scene to near black even with the auto dim turned off like the S95B?
Great intro 😂 loved it
With every video we inch closer to the myth, the legend, the fable, the lore that is the tale of the mystical X95L review.
Looks like the X93L will be part of that inching closer. It’s the first one Sony could send.
Lmao, I wouldn't even waste my time with tech that still uses backlighting and local dimming. Bring on the real Hotness, the A95L...
It is time Simba. Im rocking a 43 Samsung from 2011. Thank you for the review. Needed to see this before clicking buy on the samsung store. My last hurdle is the wife ❤👀
Its a great review. That said I have a Yamaha amp/Kef speaker system and would never use the speakers on this TV. Will you ever do a review of the S90C and or a comparison between the two Samsung OLEDS? I cannot be the only one in this situation.
Thanks for your take
Wonderful review and I think we all are waiting for the face off.
@caleb Loves Tech: Question - Considering this vs the LG C2, would you say that this TV is overall better, equal, or underscore by comparison? Thank you!!!
I love the way you do what you do..."review consumer electronics!". When it comes to OLED dispays can you and the guy helping you wear some gloves please. I feel uncomfortable watching finger prints and smudges when you bring out the brand new displays out of the box lol. This comment coming from a person who has OCD can be completely ignored however haha! Keep up the good work Caleb...
I actually had an LG E8 fall flat on its face after unboxing the top. Amazingly there was actually no discernible damage when I turned it on. It wasn't until a few years later that I noticed the bottom right corner now shows a bit of blotting... but it's only visible in certain conditions and it's so small that you can't really notice it. Basically the bottom right corner is a bit rounded instead of the sharp angle the other corners have.
It's still going strong and I honestly don't think I need to upgrade this thing for a while longer. No burn-in yet! 😊
Just out of curiosity, what made you go for the E over the C or even better G? Just curious.. don't hear many people using the E series and always been a bit of an enigma.. I worked in richer sounds before covid and even then we barely seen the E series on display! Always aas the A,C,G series!
@@Kronorium I think they don't make them anymore but honestly it was price. If I remember correctly they were the same as the C series of that year but a bit slicker in style being a full slab of glass all the way to the base (it gives the unit a floating effect on the stand) and with better speakers.
I got it for a good deal shortly after it came out because apparently they weren't moving. The only reason one would buy it is because of looks honestly. The C8 was technically the exact same unit otherwise. You can actually dump a C9 board on these to get full 4k 120Hz out of the panel via HDMI even!
I think LG realized people weren't willing to pay a bit more just for looks and discontinued them because mine was cheaper than the C8 was at the time.
@@lammyjammer6670 fair enough! Didn't realise that never had hands on with the E series from LG
Best intro ever!
Did the TV bend when you put it face down to put the stand on? I rewinded a few times and I'm pretty sure it bent.
Great review I want one but maybe next year !!!
Thanks DT. This year is the year I replace my 2018 LG C8 Oled.
I am going to buy the Samsung S90C because it has an analogue out, so I can connect my subwoofer to it. Bravo Samsung for thinking about my needs!
Currently, my work around is to use the optical out connected to an audio extractor. This barely works, because I can't control the subwoofer volume as I change the TV volume. That problem will finally be addressed. Again, bravo Samsung!
Still kinda early to be replaced
@@JustxLiving909 It's time DC. My beloved C8 suffers from the dreaded green blob. It's overdue time.
I just ordered myself a LG B2 OLED, the lack of reviews for the price of them blows my mind
For this intro, I already give the like
First and foremost, the intro was hilarious. In the next few weeks I’ll have the same conversation with my C2. Any idea if and when you will do a video comparison the S95C to the G3? I am truly in the fence with these two. I don’t like that Samsung doesn’t support Dolly Vision but I also don’t like that the G3 doesn’t have a stand (which in essence makes it more expensive than the S95C).
Hi Caleb when will you do the QN900c please ?
The limited brightness may also be due to a lack of an actual heatsink. I think they advertised this year that theres a graphite heatsink but from what ive seen people think its marketing talk for their thermal pad they had last year. Maybe sony a95l has a chance of hitting those peak nits because of the heatsink and because they tamed the brightness on the a95k. Also i went to my local electronics store and was talking with the staff in there and they were saying they had a lot more people bring in there s95B with burn in than A95k or G2 owners. So thats why they kept recommending the other OLEDs to people. But it is still a great TV. Would love a comparison between the s95C and A95L or even s95b and a95k to show whether dolby vision is a big deal though because from Stop the Fomo vid there didnt seem a big difference. But not a lot of recent content showing the difference in todays market
It's time for that QN95C next ! lets get it
What’s your opinion on receiving a tv which has not perfectly flat glass panel? When the tv is on it’s fine. But when it’s off, the reflection has a fun house mirror kind of affect.
Hi Caleb, I have the S95C and I kept it offline since day 1. What is the word on the street nowadays? Do you think it's safe to update the firmware?
I’m curious how much heat a tv puts off after running for a few hours
Would love to see how it compares to the G3 and A95L. Good to see they added static hdr. Now nets hope they will get 34" gen2 panels soon. And I hope they will make 83/85% screens in the near future. I would like Sony 83/85 A95M
From my perspective (in the UK anyway), I’m really hoping that Phillips (which is evaluating QD-OLED) takes this technology on as a consumer set. From my perspective, Phillips will offer all HDR formats as well as their brilliant Ambilight technology as well as its competitive pricing.
I’m thinking that MLA will need to be made available at a lower price on LG’s C series to really bring it into the mainstream. Should that be the case, it’ll give QD-OLED a real run for it’s money.
@@jasmadahar9089 The money is in affordable sets right now. I hear much of the budget stuff from brands like TCL is killing it in sales when compared to these 4k costing TVs
@@Kevfactor did you really just compare TCL to the likes of Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic...?
I would love to see more of the Samsung QN85C
Doesn't the one connect cable always carries power to the panel? My old 2018 Samsung with the super thin cable sure does. I love it. LG should really copy that, actually everyone should do it.
I have the first gen qd-oled from samsung. Absolutely love it. Not a fan of the user experience when it comes to Tizen. But, I don’t do much with it as far as swapping inputs or apps.
It’s fantastic. The 2nd gen looks even sweeter!
Same thoughts exactly
Same, i just bought a Google TV dongle for it. My other TVs are Google/android TV so can’t go back to Tizen.
Ditto. I use an Apple TV instead
Just bought an s95b. C didn't innovate enough for me to justify the price difference
@@thegobstopper323 It's a fantastic TV! Really been enjoying mine a lot
Any plans to look at TCL C845 anytime soon? The Samsung S95C looks amazing but it’s wildly expensive…
They just reviewed its North American equivalent, the QM8
Great review! I’m looking forward to see how the A95L compares, if it really reaches 2000 nits (Sony did claim 100% brightness increase in their marketing), then I’m gonna be really tempted to replace my LG G2!
New TV every year? Lucky!!!
@@shroey20 im still using my 2020 CX and have no plans on replacing it any time soon.
Please help. I not sure which go get either the 77 inch LG G3 or the SAMSUNG S95C. I have seen both in store and both look great. Although a concern was the G3 was very hot to touch where as the s95c was cool.
I don't game at all so the tv will be used for streaming watching movies and alot of sports and cable tv.
Opinions much appreciated cheers
Can I ask you a big question? The smaller end of the one connect cable how big is it? I can’t find anywhere such dimensions, at the 6 minute mark it looks bigger than other one connect cables I’ve used in other TVs and I want to make sure it will fit inside the 2 inches PVC behind my wall
Great review. Unfortunately until Samsung supports Dolby Vision, it is not a brand I would consider buying
Finally! Some rationality! Why should ANY TV (consumer grade) not include all the formats? LG. Sony, Panasonic.. all have DV.. I honestly prefer DV for TV content and HDR10 for gaming so I guess C and G2 will do until Samsung or someone else brings along a TV that's all bells and whistles!.
Hey Caleb. Can you do a A95K comparison with G3 and S95C. How does the A95K compare to those 2 TVs?
Awesome TV!!!!! QD Oled is just crazy good!
This was one of the more fun reviews, especially the start. Would love to see future reviews like this.
i feel you when you said you can’t tell a difference with the dolby vision! i have a samsung and a hisense with dolby vision and watching disney+ marvel made content i would still pick the samsung despite no dolby vision because you get better brightness and a sharper overall picture!
Question. S95C or 900B 8k in 65 inch. For the very best picture? Almost dark room viewing only and no gaming. Some say 65 inch 8k doesn't look any better than 4k. What do you think Caleb?
This damage on screen is on A95K too. It's something about antireflecting coating. I returned one 65A95K and got another, and another one has small damage like this, but not like the previous one, and I keep it...
Hey im searching for a good oled i love to watch movies , but could You make a video explainiing the diffrence between har 10 plus and dolbyvision ? , keep up the grate work love it 💪🏼
Cant wait to see the sony a95l review.
Great intro 👏🏾
Caleb when will we get the TCL QM8 info?
Would coming from an LG B7 to the 65 s95c be a massive, noticeable improvement?
The best intro ever 🫲🫲👇😅😅
If I have a Marantz SR-6015 that has Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced, will they work on the S95C?
I too used to like the google chromecast and had it plugged on my panasonic oled but i have noticed that google very intentionally dulls the picture quality of Prime video content. I can notice it distinctly when I compare it with my native tv app and also with the one in apple tv. So apple tv has permanently replaced google chromecast as my go to streaming device.
I have the 77” s95c got for $2989 at bb open item and have 60days to return or exchange. I’m slowly falling in love with it, but want the most 3 dimensional out of the tv so thinking about the LG G3 if it’s the same or if g3 has more pop. Do u know if it does??? Some says it does and some says it’s the same … what u think?? Should I keep my s95c or get a g3 but price is now $3999 for the 77” g3 but still more than my open item 77” s95c.
That freakin' intro, DUDE! 😄
