This is why I will never buy another TV blind until Vincent reviews it. The level of detail and comprehensive information about the pros and cons is why he is the master. Thank you for helping us consumers to have as full a picture as possible before we purchase ❤
I kinda feel like the opposite is true, that I DON'T want to see Vincents review of a TV I just bought. Like I'd be perfectly happy with the new TV and then I'd learn from Vincent that there are a bunch of things it doesn't do quite right, and I'd be left thinking I should have waited for the next models to come out. :sigh:
I've watched countless reviews of this TV, pretty much every key one on YouYube. None, and I mean none, match how comprehensive yours is Vincent. One of the biggest benefits as viewers, besides the detailed analysis, is you having the Sony HX310 reference monitor to compare to. So whilst other reviewers are merely guessing on accuracy and whether or not these TV'e are accurately brighter/more colourful, or instead simply more exaggerated, you're able to not just tell, but show us. It's such a fundamental difference, and stays true to the pursuit of accuracy above all else. Thank you good Sir.
You're a true champ Vincent. Doing what has to be done and taking a quick side-trip to another continent in the name of thoroughness in testing! Never stop 🙂
This guy is the absolute GOAT. His ability to just go so in-depth on all things about televisions is incredible. Not to mention his tenacity is unmatched. He should probably be working for the CIA or whatever government agency he's eligible for. Dude is relentless I love it lmao
Vincent is always catching these sneaky manufactuers . He never assumes and just test everything Love it and people question this man integrity and his ability . But shame on rtings. Wtf is that about.......😢. I guess they dont have a tester for that or just missed it. Thanks Vincent.
Love your videos, you're the goat of tv reviews. One recommendation I have is testing the motion resolution in different BFI modes like at times you do in your reviews. The reason I say this, what may be too dark for you may be tolerable/fine for someone else, so knowing motion resolution of different BFI levels helps a lot. Always appreciate your reviews Vincent.
RTINGS made an update. It is blaming a test equipment malfunction for a false 48 Gbps test result. It has retested and now agrees with Mr. Teoh’s test result of 40 Gbps.
9:08 This is the answer to people saying "this much nits will blind you, you don't need brighter panels". Being able to sustain a much brighter 100% window is beneficial to be able to compensate from the brightness loss of BFI or other flicker/strobing, which, when implemented correctly at least, has extremely beneficial effects for motion clarity of 60fps and below content.
BFI is the main thing I miss now that I've switched to OLED. It was perfect on my Sony LCD but now I feel I have to have a trade-off when it comes to motion.
Finally, at least I know I'm not crazy since the 144hz doesn't work for me with my 4090. 120hz always works. Also dolby atmos seems to have issues with my pc and this tv as well. I wonder if samsung would replace the one connect box with a 48 gbps version since they stated that this TV is 144hz compliant and it obviously is not.
Even as someone who can get 144hz to work, but only under very specific circumstances, this is a real kick in the gut. I'm convinced that had they not cheaped out on these ports and gone full bandwidth, this would just work - for everyone. I am very disappointed.
Having bought an rtx 4090 it's actually annoying to know that this monitor can't support 4k 144hz even though it's advertised as such. These companies need to be held accountable for false advertising
This man’s dedication in reviewing TVs is truly something. I’m glad I watched his videos before purchasing my Sony A90J a couple of years back. No regrets with my purchase.
Love that you pointed out the motion issue, I returned a S90c because my wife and I didn't like it and couldn't get it right. I have a G3 now and its motion is great as is my older Sony A8h
@@NexGenTek that’s not for all panels. Mine wasn’t the best out of the box but after 25 hours my uniformity is 100% fine. My Sony A8h which is an lg panel after 7000 hours is totally fine
@@sduke802 I found that you could use the Judder setting of 0-2 and you would not have SOE or artifacts. Once you went above that though these came into play. Sometimes the motion was ok and then other times it felt like it was stuttering in a weird way and almost screen tearing, dropping frames I guess is what I was seeing but I know that this isn't a problem on Sony sets for myself or LG. I'm probably sensitive to it since I'm used to how other brands process motion on OLED
It never ceases to amaze me how often top-end hardware misses out on basic features on has some restrictions that anything a smidge below that from the same brand does have.
Too little too late. Already got a 77G3. I like Samsung Display's QD-OLED panels, but Samsung Electronic's actual TVs are bottom tier for out-of-box settings and no dolbyvision.

If anybody wants to get rid of most of the clunkiness in the home menu, disable Samsung TV Plus. Go to the icon, hold the select button, choose remove, then disable and it is a lot smoother. Horrific news about the S95C, might explain why my video is frequently cutting out when I'm playing high framerate games on PC, quick black screen every 5 minutes or so. I'll lower it to 120hz and see if it gets rid of the problem but I just plugged in my Series X and the same thing was happening though, but less frequent and shorter black screens.
@@grumpyragdoll2640 No, unrelated to pixel shift that I have turned off, and when I say quick black screen, it's 5-10 seconds on PC (with the TV even putting up a loading circle) and 3-5 seconds on Xbox. I'll take a video of it tonight but unfortunately can't find an example online even though I've seen hundreds of comments with the same issue. It still hasn't happened while using internal apps or USB, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the One Connect cable. Going to test turning off Game Mode tonight to see if it is an HDMI issue or game mode only issue. And then will adjust refresh rates and settings from there. Haven't seen TV experts really weigh in on this, but hoping I can find a workaround.
@@ScottJ2024 You might wanna try disabling VRR on your HDMI connected for that PC since it's having trouble switching to a particular higher frame rate game mode. This is similar to some new gen console and LED/OLED HDR Tvs.
@@linja3946 Yeah, that was on my list, I disabled Gsync from the Nvidia control panel but kept everything else the same, and I'm not getting blackouts. That would explain why I also got black screens from my Xbox considering that's a 40gbps device but has VRR, and why it's only happening in games and not when I'm scrolling around in Windows at 4K144hz. So S95C does appear to be capable of 4K144hzHDR gaming, but no VRR even at 120hz, as I still got blackouts. Can't tell if it's a software issue or hardware issue, but if it's been an issue with One Connect Box TVs for years like I'm reading, then I won't get my hopes up. I only got the 77S95C because of a massive discount that made it cheaper than the 77S90C, but I'm regretting not waiting for a good deal on that. Hopefully broken VRR is the only problem and is fixable, but with Samsung's firmware history, I'm not optimistic.
RTINGS made an update. It is blaming a test equipment malfunction for a false 48 Gbps test result. It has retested and now agrees with Mr. Teoh’s test result of 40 Gbps. I found no Samsung official material about the S95C being capable of 48 Gbps, so I can’t agree with a charge of false advertising for now.
I am a physical media (4K Bluray) enthusiast and since like half of those have Dolby Vision but samsung televisions do not, I never plan to buy a samsung television
My personal review of S95c 77 inch, Pros: 1. Movies looks crazy good. 2. Best Gaming quality i have ever seen. 2. My PS5 runs 4k 120fps. 3. One connect box- it’s amazing, bcz i can use short cables all hidden for clean look 4. TV is super thin, hangs like a painting on the wall, super clean look. (Using samsung slim mount 2022) Cons: 1. I don’t like the tv software because its not good imo, too much unwanted ads & stuff on the screen. ( i personally don’t care because i use Apple TV 4k) 2: idk what it is but when i turn any game on my Ps5, screen goes black for like 2sec, but once the game starts its works great, maybe its a vrr thing idk.
I just got a Samsung S95B 2022 QD OLED and I love the TV. I caught a great sale and I am glad I pulled the trigger to buy one. They only had about 7 tv's for sale and now they are all gone. Exceptional technology of Quantum Dots and OLED together. I have no complaints this far and I am satisfied with my decision to buy a 2022 tv. I don't believe in that crap about people being hesitant to buy a previous year tv especially if the tv is one of the best tvs of that year. S95B was one of the best tvs in 2022. It's a new tv to me as far as I am concerned. 😊😊😊
Wow another comprehensive detailed techical tour de force by Vincent! Thank you! It seems the folks at RTings need to take a class in how to measure HDMI ports.
@@Capricorn_IVThe "odd bits" being the actual measurements? Come on, dude. Rtings' credibility is constantly put to the test for a variety of reasons, but it's delusional to mislabel their review format as "copy-pasting".
Nerfs are nothing new, Samsung is been doing this for a long time. I noticed since 2016. I don't care if only PC owners are affected they are nerfing something I paid for.
Think Panasonic only brand I seen not downgrade but also less market and niche so can’t afford these mistakes. Hisense I can’t personally say how does it but “updates” are business as usual like so much electronic.
"Most people should refrain from using this TV as a PC monitor due to triangle subpixel layout". - I have been using 55" A95K QD-OLED with this same triangular layout as a PC monitor for 10 months now. Color fringing is actually completely invisible unless I lean in uncomfortably close. My eyes are normally 120 cm from the screen, and I have to come as close as 75 cm before I am able to notice it, and I have perfect eyesight. Closest I sit to the screen at times is 90cm, and at that point I still don't notice any fringing, and text looks normal and perfect.
Looking forward to seeing your comparison of the Samsung S95C to the same panel in the Sony 2023 model. The Sony video processor, algorithms, HDMI controller chip, and user selectable options could potentially eliminate all of the negatives mentioned in this review of the Samsung while retaining all the positives of the same QD-OLED panel.
Your review caused RTINGS to retest the S95C’s HDMI ports, and its review has been corrected. RTINGS is blaming a test error for the incorrect 48 Gbps claim.
@@Captainrave RTINGS posted links to screenshots of its initial incorrect test result and a retaken correct test result taken after Vincent Teoh pointed out the discrepancy between his test result and RTINGS’s test result in its corrected S95C review.
It is about 11:52AM Easter Standard Time now in the Monday morning time. I truly appreciate your kind and honest review. I honestly believe that in the near future Micro Led Displays Televisions 📺 Technology with last very much longer life span, Oled Tvs which are currently available now.
My S95C video suffers periodic dropouts (black screen for 3-5 secs) when using my Xbox Series X at 120hz. This is my second S95C which not only had that problem but more prevalent loss of HDMI sync when using Apple TV, consoles, and Nvidia Shield. My current one only suffers the 120hz dropouts.
I am going to tell you as it is. DV for gaming is bliss, I play BFV online with my SX and 4K 120HZ is a must for competitiveness. You're able to convey much more detail, specifically clouds when flying, so when you're in an AA, you can see planes better, when you're in a plane, you just see everything much better. It may not mean much but it is a game changer and does bump your game play. I would not have it any other way.
Can you chase up the HLG issue with Samsung directly? Loads of people are reporting this but of course Samsung doesn't care about individual complaint, whereas you might get more traction.
Yeah it's ridiculous. I have SkyQ and when I watch anything in HDR I've had to try brighten it up by putting Contrast enhancer on low, Active tone mapping, Peak brightness on high and upping the gamma and SD.
@@phillydavison To be brutally honest, I'm not sure if I'm experiencing the issue or not. I had my S95C up and running for a couple of weeks, during which time I did watch F1 in HDR as I always do and don't recall it being unnaturally dark or anything. That said I do watch in a dim environment. Unfortunately the TV has been out of commission for over a month now due to major redecoration work so I won't be able to check for a few more weeks. Either I'm not affected for some reason (I've seen speculation it could be down to particular Sky boxes) or it was dim but I just didn't notice due to my environment. Regardless there's clearly some kind of issue here.
@@tobygroves2112 I've always thought it was purely a Sky problem because I've had this issue on my previous TVs including Sony TVs the X900F and X90J, I've also had it on my last TV the QN95B. There are numerous threads about this issue just type SkyQ dim HDR in any search engine and you will find them. Watching in a dark room does mitigate it to an extent but in a bright room you'd easily see the problem, the F1 in my bright room looked like I'd set the brightness to 5 lol I tested my S95C's native iplayer app to check the HLG from something other than the SkyQ box and it was still dim so god knows what's going on. Vincent says its not tracking right so I'd like him to raise it with Samsung but this issue has been going on for a few years with dim HLG on various TVs, some suffer and some don't it is just a very weird issue.
@@phillydavison Maybe I had the problem on my old Sony but never realised it should have been brighter, so I've not noticed any appreciable difference on the Samsung.
only 1min into the vid and I'm already amazed.. my 2019 LG 55B9 has the full 48Gbps bandwidth And this, on top of being 4 years old is also one of the cheapest OLEDs of the time
Great Video. Have the S95C 77 inch. Tv is amazing. Noticed the black outs sometimes when using series X. Also have not connected it to the internet, so not sure if update will fix that. Tv gets crazy bright and looks amazing in person. Was this or the G3 and i chose the S95C.
Keeping my Sony A90J. Vincent is the BEST in the business. So surprising he doesn't have as many subscribers that Caleb has. Btw, what is that movie Vincent shows that shows a pirate ship in the sky filled with water bubbles? Looks like great HDR!
Tom's Guide found out how Samsung was able to advertise 4K at 144 Hz using full 4:4:4 color at 10 bits per color channel while limited to 40 Gbps instead of having the full 48 Gbps: the S95C requires Display Stream Compression to make this fit within the 40 Gbps limit.
As owner of s95c and rtx 4090 I have no issue playing 4k HDR 144hz with windows dolby atmos for home theater audio output. VRR is also on and gsync compatible on . Am using nvidia color settings RGB with 10 bit.
12:00 I have a UK 55" S95C and it clips at 1800 nits MaxTML and 1200 nits MaxFFTML with the Series X. HDR looks stunning. My settings are Game Mode On, HDR10+ GAMING Basic, Game HDR Basic, HDR Tone Mapping Static, and Colour Space Settings Auto (DCI-P3).
I don't have a S95C, but my guess is you have the white balance set to very blue (as is usually the default)? Vincent always tests at D65 / 6500 K, which on LG OLEDs is usually the reddest option available. Cooler white balance gives higher brightness numbers but very inaccurate colors.
@@exscape I have the TV in the default Filmmaker Mode values, which includes Colour Tone at Warm2 which is the reddest white point on Samsungs. Vincent even mentions at 3:33 that the S95C is well calibrated in Filmmaker Mode out of the box.
@@Capricorn_IV Who says HDR10+ GAMING should be off? A quick Google search suggests turning it to Basic results in a MORE accurate and impactful HDR image than having it off. Vincent also has it set to Basic at 11:28. Also, what do you mean by "it should be off and basic on"? There is no setting to switch on called "basic" lol. Besides, more importantly, even with HDR10+ GAMING off my TV still clips the checkerboard at 1800 and 1200 nits which is the point I'm making.
Hey King Louis i can Help you. For HDR clipping at 2000 nits (1300 nits) u have to adjust st.2084 to -1 and Shadow Details -2. At First I wondered too, but after i made the Settings according to classytecs, it was selfexplaining to me. Out of the Box its 1800 nits clipping in the HDR calibration App.
@@PSYCHOV3N0Muhm… Panasonic won and for movies last year model still better then 2023 models… Until we see release of MZ2000 though sadly only 65 and 55” has best panel and properly made for gaming.
Just got an S95C. On my Onkyo RZ50 receiver, initially it limits bandwidth to 18GBPS for all HDMI ports-- I believe this is the 4K Enhanced setting. This was causing HDMI sync issues on my Series X, PS5 and Apple TV as all were trying to use more bandwidth. I then set this to the 48GBPS setting (8K Enhanced) which also caused HDMI sync issues. Finally, I remembered this video where Vincent mentioned the S95C only supports 40GBPS. So I changed the setting in the receiver to 40GBPs (8K Standard) and now everything works without issue. I still get the occasional blip in the HDMI signal maybe once every 6-8 hours of viewing, but I think it might be more related to the HDMI cables I have than any issues with the TV or Receiver.
So much drama with HDMI 2.1 for Sony and Samsung even in 2023…meanwhile, LG has had this problem solved for years. LG is far from perfect, but they’ve embarrassed the competition on this specific topic.
LG is their own worst enemy. They've essentially gone all in on OLED when the market would have benefitted from them carrying forward miniLED tech as well. It would be great to see what LG could do with QD-OLED panels too.
LG were the first ones to pull a fast one and change hdmi bandwidth from 48gps to 40gps and got really bad public backlash from it, they didn't "solve" anything
Get away with what exactly? Samsung haven't mentioned anywhere that the s95c is 48gps on hdmi ports. RTings mentioned it was, but they like to copy/paste from previous reviews and edit some bits
@@Capricorn_IV RTINGS did run a test, but its test equipment reported an erroneous 48 Gbps speed. RTINGS reran the test with its own equipment and also got the same model of HDMI test kit that Vincent Teoh used, and now both agree on 40 Gbps.
I am going to say this Again........ It seems Samsung has Decided to Intentionally make their Products WORSE every yr instead of better on the software end and its ALWAYS right after You Reviewers put out your Reviews !!! FACTS !!!!
Yep last year most reviewers shilled the S95B only to have its brightness nerfed with an update. Seems like they all forgot and shilled for Samsung again this year
@@gwac1963 100%, as he said, could be related to some issues Pc gamers have held. The inconsistencies with black out are not limited to S95C but also 90C and, those issues for me were resolved once I did the latest firmware from the video I did following up from the video where I went over my issues with it. I’m more stomped on things like why QHD at 144Hz isn’t an option. No movie player needs 48GBPS. No current Gen. Console even uses 48GBPS. My NVIDIA 3090TI doesn’t have any issues and can game at 4k 144Hz no overclock. This only fuels the fanboy discussion on how Sony or LG is better because they offer full, my opinion. I appreciate this man work done for the community, currently uploading a reply video just offering my small circle on YT my opinion. Max Luv.
Had to return my Samsung Q95T (2020) a few years back due to HDMI 2.1 not working with my RTX 3080, kinda sad how people are still running into problems when it comes to HDMI 2.1. Tried 2 separate PCs with 3080's when I had that Q95T btw, and 4 different HDMI 2.1 cables. Got myself an LG G1 after that which luckily worked without any issues.
I heard this year’s Samsung TVs have added restrictions on retail mode usage. I watched one of the videos from the TV Dan channel and saw that it’s only possible to select retail mode when first setting up the TV and access the built-in demo content. When selecting the usage mode in the settings menu, if you select ‘home mode’ in the usage mode option it will be greyed out and you can’t change it unless you reset the TV to factory default. I’m not sure why they would add this restriction.
@@NexGenTek Yeah I think so. Could be restricted on specific regional models like in the UK. I’m not sure if my local variant [I’m based in Singapore] can switch between store demo and home use anytime during use. I haven’t see it in person in retail stores.
So I guess the only remaining questions are: (1) Will the Sony A95L correct all of the issues that the S95C has? and (2) Will the Sony A95L be worth the premium?
Only you can decide if its worth it, I got the 65" S95C for 1519. The 55" A95L will cost double the price of what I got the 65" so who knows how much the 65" A95L will be, 4k, 4.5k? Not worth it for me at all
I wonder if people who purchased the s95c can file to get their money back for false advertising. This is a huge issue if you are a PC gamer and made a purchase decision to buy this tv to game on it.
@@TechDoneRight1 You would have to find proof of the false advertising by Samsung Electronics for that to work. I searched, and I was unable to find any official Samsung material or press releases that prove that Samsung spread false information. I think that this could be a case of one or more reviewers making an error in their reviews.
Well, I have the S95C, A95K, and last year's S95B, very little difference amoung them, they all look stunning, the way I have them calibrated. I only brought the S95C for the 77" size, and I plan on purchasing the A95L 65", to do a side by side...
Are you planning on reviewing either the samsung qn95c or the sony x95L ? Would love to see how they compare to OLED and hear your full detailed thoughts on them since usually its hard to trust anyone else (at least for me personally, you're my go to)
So I have the 77" S95C since the day it launched. No issues for me with 4K, HDR, 10bit, 144hz on an RTX 4090. The couple I know that don't have this issue have the tv from an early purchase at launch. The ones that have the issue seem to have TV's that might be later releases. Wondering if there was a change to the design.
Worse yet. What if samsung sent out brand new tvs at a launch correctly then for later shipments sent them out with older one connect hardware? It is weird. I've had 0 issues with 144hz on my s95c but I keep seeing people having issues.
No issues for me either. That's the trouble with pc gaming, there's so many different combinations of pc components, cables, pc setting and driver versions. It could be anything causing issues
Why did the LG G3 have a green tint compared to the Samsung and reference TV? You can see it clearly in the Arrival scene on her face, and also the beach scene. Im assuming they were all calibrated to correct white point.
This man is the nightmare of tech companies and I love it 😀

Being able to sustain a much brighter 100% window is beneficial to be able to compensate from the brightness loss of BFI or other flicker/strobing, which, when implemented correctly at least, has extremely beneficial effects for motion clarity of 60fps and below content.

Finally, at least I know I'm not crazy since the 144hz doesn't work for me with my 4090. 120hz always works. Also dolby atmos seems to have issues with my pc and this tv as well. I wonder if samsung would replace the one connect box with a 48 gbps version since they stated that this TV is 144hz compliant and it obviously is not.
Works perfectly on my 3090 4K 144hz 10bit
Even as someone who can get 144hz to work, but only under very specific circumstances, this is a real kick in the gut. I'm convinced that had they not cheaped out on these ports and gone full bandwidth, this would just work - for everyone. I am very disappointed.
@@ReflexArc Works for me no compromise
Works on my pc at 144hz @4k HDR 10bit and dolby atmos works amazing as well but I have q990c soundbar
How much did you pay for it? 💵
Having bought an rtx 4090 it's actually annoying to know that this monitor can't support 4k 144hz even though it's advertised as such. These companies need to be held accountable for false advertising
Thats why avoid samsung. They are known for marketing not based on facts.
Ex: qled which doesnt mean anything and is the same as every other tv
I have Rtx 4090 too. I have no problems 4k, 144hz, 10bit, RGB.

This man’s dedication in reviewing TVs is truly something. I’m glad I watched his videos before purchasing my Sony A90J a couple of years back. No regrets with my purchase.
Love that you pointed out the motion issue, I returned a S90c because my wife and I didn't like it and couldn't get it right. I have a G3 now and its motion is great as is my older Sony A8h
What did you see in the motion interpolation that bothered you?
But the G3 uniformity. Don't do any panning of the sky's in games
@@NexGenTek that’s not for all panels. Mine wasn’t the best out of the box but after 25 hours my uniformity is 100% fine. My Sony A8h which is an lg panel after 7000 hours is totally fine
Isn’t there a low setting in dejudder or deblur that lightly smooths 24fps or 60fps with no SOE? Or do u just get soap or artifacts no matter how low?
@@sduke802 I found that you could use the Judder setting of 0-2 and you would not have SOE or artifacts. Once you went above that though these came into play. Sometimes the motion was ok and then other times it felt like it was stuttering in a weird way and almost screen tearing, dropping frames I guess is what I was seeing but I know that this isn't a problem on Sony sets for myself or LG. I'm probably sensitive to it since I'm used to how other brands process motion on OLED
It never ceases to amaze me how often top-end hardware misses out on basic features on has some restrictions that anything a smidge below that from the same brand does have.
Just the fact that overscan is still a thing in 2023 is pathetically sad.
you said it brotha
Too little too late. Already got a 77G3. I like Samsung Display's QD-OLED panels, but Samsung Electronic's actual TVs are bottom tier for out-of-box settings and no dolbyvision.

Vincent showing RTINGS the meaning of thoroughness
RTINGS made an update. It is blaming a test equipment malfunction for a false 48 Gbps test result. It has retested and now agrees with Mr. Teoh’s test result of 40 Gbps.
Thankyou so much for mentioning the dim HLG, this desperately needs fixing.
For this HGIG problems that continue with Samsung no go for me
Fixed yet?
@@whitecrowuk575 Nope TV hasn't had any firmware updates for a while.
If anybody wants to get rid of most of the clunkiness in the home menu, disable Samsung TV Plus. Go to the icon, hold the select button, choose remove, then disable and it is a lot smoother.
Horrific news about the S95C, might explain why my video is frequently cutting out when I'm playing high framerate games on PC, quick black screen every 5 minutes or so. I'll lower it to 120hz and see if it gets rid of the problem but I just plugged in my Series X and the same thing was happening though, but less frequent and shorter black screens.
I've never had a issue on my series x or ps5. Runs flawlessly so I doubt it's due to only 40gps limitation. On pc it might be though
could the periodic quick black screen be the pixel shifting for oled protection?
@@grumpyragdoll2640 No, unrelated to pixel shift that I have turned off, and when I say quick black screen, it's 5-10 seconds on PC (with the TV even putting up a loading circle) and 3-5 seconds on Xbox. I'll take a video of it tonight but unfortunately can't find an example online even though I've seen hundreds of comments with the same issue.
It still hasn't happened while using internal apps or USB, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the One Connect cable. Going to test turning off Game Mode tonight to see if it is an HDMI issue or game mode only issue. And then will adjust refresh rates and settings from there. Haven't seen TV experts really weigh in on this, but hoping I can find a workaround.
@@ScottJ2024 You might wanna try disabling VRR on your HDMI connected for that PC since it's having trouble switching to a particular higher frame rate game mode. This is similar to some new gen console and LED/OLED HDR Tvs.
@@linja3946 Yeah, that was on my list, I disabled Gsync from the Nvidia control panel but kept everything else the same, and I'm not getting blackouts. That would explain why I also got black screens from my Xbox considering that's a 40gbps device but has VRR, and why it's only happening in games and not when I'm scrolling around in Windows at 4K144hz. So S95C does appear to be capable of 4K144hzHDR gaming, but no VRR even at 120hz, as I still got blackouts. Can't tell if it's a software issue or hardware issue, but if it's been an issue with One Connect Box TVs for years like I'm reading, then I won't get my hopes up.
I only got the 77S95C because of a massive discount that made it cheaper than the 77S90C, but I'm regretting not waiting for a good deal on that. Hopefully broken VRR is the only problem and is fixable, but with Samsung's firmware history, I'm not optimistic.
Wow flying to the US to find you are the man , Samsung and lg both have got caught lying about 48 gigabytes on some of there tvs. Great job Vincent.
RTINGS made an update. It is blaming a test equipment malfunction for a false 48 Gbps test result. It has retested and now agrees with Mr. Teoh’s test result of 40 Gbps. I found no Samsung official material about the S95C being capable of 48 Gbps, so I can’t agree with a charge of false advertising for now.

Bro, you just wanted to go to NYC. I could have tested this for you! Call a brother up next time!
My personal review of S95c 77 inch,
Pros:
1. Movies looks crazy good.
2. Best Gaming quality i have ever seen.
2. My PS5 runs 4k 120fps.
3. One connect box- it’s amazing, bcz i can use short cables all hidden for clean look
4. TV is super thin, hangs like a painting on the wall, super clean look. (Using samsung slim mount 2022)
Cons:
1. I don’t like the tv software because its not good imo, too much unwanted ads & stuff on the screen.
( i personally don’t care because i use Apple TV 4k)
2: idk what it is but when i turn any game on my Ps5, screen goes black for like 2sec, but once the game starts its works great, maybe its a vrr thing idk.
Probably switching to and from HDR or changing hz

I just got a Samsung S95B 2022 QD OLED and I love the TV. I caught a great sale and I am glad I pulled the trigger to buy one. They only had about 7 tv's for sale and now they are all gone. Exceptional technology of Quantum Dots and OLED together. I have no complaints this far and I am satisfied with my decision to buy a 2022 tv. I don't believe in that crap about people being hesitant to buy a previous year tv especially if the tv is one of the best tvs of that year. S95B was one of the best tvs in 2022. It's a new tv to me as far as I am concerned. 😊😊😊
Wow another comprehensive detailed techical tour de force by Vincent! Thank you! It seems the folks at RTings need to take a class in how to measure HDMI ports.
TLDR… even Rtings can’t be trusted with factual/objective stats about the TV, but Vincent can!
Rtings just copy/paste everything from previous year models review and just change the odd bits
@@Capricorn_IVThe "odd bits" being the actual measurements? Come on, dude. Rtings' credibility is constantly put to the test for a variety of reasons, but it's delusional to mislabel their review format as "copy-pasting".

Nerfs are nothing new, Samsung is been doing this for a long time. I noticed since 2016. I don't care if only PC owners are affected they are nerfing something I paid for.
Every company nerfs stuff, LG did it with dts and hdmi ports at only 40gps with previous models

"Most people should refrain from using this TV as a PC monitor due to triangle subpixel layout".
- I have been using 55" A95K QD-OLED with this same triangular layout as a PC monitor for 10 months now. Color fringing is actually completely invisible unless I lean in uncomfortably close. My eyes are normally 120 cm from the screen, and I have to come as close as 75 cm before I am able to notice it, and I have perfect eyesight. Closest I sit to the screen at times is 90cm, and at that point I still don't notice any fringing, and text looks normal and perfect.
Looking forward to seeing your comparison of the Samsung S95C to the same panel in the Sony 2023 model. The Sony video processor, algorithms, HDMI controller chip, and user selectable options could potentially eliminate all of the negatives mentioned in this review of the Samsung while retaining all the positives of the same QD-OLED panel.
Doing a upscaling comparision between higher end tv's would be nice.
Love to see LG G3 and Sony A95L comparision.
Absolute madlad, really flew to another country just to visit a best buy and check a TV.
Your review caused RTINGS to retest the S95C’s HDMI ports, and its review has been corrected. RTINGS is blaming a test error for the incorrect 48 Gbps claim.
Probably didn’t check it in the first place.

So, are you ok that the LG G3 is really the best TV on the market at this point ? before Sony and Panasonic comes out maybe ?
Lmao, G3 definitely isn't the best, I traded it in and got the best, S95C...
lol Sammy loves their One Connect box. I hate one connect boxes.
My S95C video suffers periodic dropouts (black screen for 3-5 secs) when using my Xbox Series X at 120hz. This is my second S95C which not only had that problem but more prevalent loss of HDMI sync when using Apple TV, consoles, and Nvidia Shield. My current one only suffers the 120hz dropouts.

Can you chase up the HLG issue with Samsung directly? Loads of people are reporting this but of course Samsung doesn't care about individual complaint, whereas you might get more traction.
Yeah it's ridiculous. I have SkyQ and when I watch anything in HDR I've had to try brighten it up by putting Contrast enhancer on low, Active tone mapping, Peak brightness on high and upping the gamma and SD.
@@phillydavison To be brutally honest, I'm not sure if I'm experiencing the issue or not. I had my S95C up and running for a couple of weeks, during which time I did watch F1 in HDR as I always do and don't recall it being unnaturally dark or anything. That said I do watch in a dim environment. Unfortunately the TV has been out of commission for over a month now due to major redecoration work so I won't be able to check for a few more weeks. Either I'm not affected for some reason (I've seen speculation it could be down to particular Sky boxes) or it was dim but I just didn't notice due to my environment. Regardless there's clearly some kind of issue here.
@@tobygroves2112 I've always thought it was purely a Sky problem because I've had this issue on my previous TVs including Sony TVs the X900F and X90J, I've also had it on my last TV the QN95B. There are numerous threads about this issue just type SkyQ dim HDR in any search engine and you will find them.
Watching in a dark room does mitigate it to an extent but in a bright room you'd easily see the problem, the F1 in my bright room looked like I'd set the brightness to 5 lol I tested my S95C's native iplayer app to check the HLG from something other than the SkyQ box and it was still dim so god knows what's going on.
Vincent says its not tracking right so I'd like him to raise it with Samsung but this issue has been going on for a few years with dim HLG on various TVs, some suffer and some don't it is just a very weird issue.
@@phillydavison Maybe I had the problem on my old Sony but never realised it should have been brighter, so I've not noticed any appreciable difference on the Samsung.

This is apex mountain for TV tech research. V's a boss.
Tom's Guide found out how Samsung was able to advertise 4K at 144 Hz using full 4:4:4 color at 10 bits per color channel while limited to 40 Gbps instead of having the full 48 Gbps: the S95C requires Display Stream Compression to make this fit within the 40 Gbps limit.
As owner of s95c and rtx 4090 I have no issue playing 4k HDR 144hz with windows dolby atmos for home theater audio output. VRR is also on and gsync compatible on .
Am using nvidia color settings RGB with 10 bit.
Have you ever had a blackout issue since then?
12:00 I have a UK 55" S95C and it clips at 1800 nits MaxTML and 1200 nits MaxFFTML with the Series X. HDR looks stunning.
My settings are Game Mode On, HDR10+ GAMING Basic, Game HDR Basic, HDR Tone Mapping Static, and Colour Space Settings Auto (DCI-P3).
I don't have a S95C, but my guess is you have the white balance set to very blue (as is usually the default)? Vincent always tests at D65 / 6500 K, which on LG OLEDs is usually the reddest option available. Cooler white balance gives higher brightness numbers but very inaccurate colors.
@@exscape I have the TV in the default Filmmaker Mode values, which includes Colour Tone at Warm2 which is the reddest white point on Samsungs. Vincent even mentions at 3:33 that the S95C is well calibrated in Filmmaker Mode out of the box.
You have HDR10+ gaming on, it should be off and basic on. your hdr settings are inacurate. You need to play with the settings dude 😂
@@Capricorn_IV Who says HDR10+ GAMING should be off? A quick Google search suggests turning it to Basic results in a MORE accurate and impactful HDR image than having it off. Vincent also has it set to Basic at 11:28. Also, what do you mean by "it should be off and basic on"? There is no setting to switch on called "basic" lol.
Besides, more importantly, even with HDR10+ GAMING off my TV still clips the checkerboard at 1800 and 1200 nits which is the point I'm making.
Hey King Louis i can Help you. For HDR clipping at 2000 nits (1300 nits) u have to adjust st.2084 to -1 and Shadow Details -2. At First I wondered too, but after i made the Settings according to classytecs, it was selfexplaining to me. Out of the Box its 1800 nits clipping in the HDR calibration App.
Once again weakness in chipset (motion ,upsaling, HDMI) & software like last year.
IT could have been the TV of the YEAR
Nah, not a chance. Nothing will beat the A95L even with the improvements in better chipsets

Most professional reviewers and calibrators say it isn't and I had both the g3 and s95c, sent the G3 back 😮
@@Capricorn_IVWhich reviewers? AVForums, WhatHIFI, Flatpanels HD and HDTVTest have all awarded the G3 higher marks than the S95C.
Great job but not surprised. Samsung up to its questionable stuff again!!
Just got an S95C. On my Onkyo RZ50 receiver, initially it limits bandwidth to 18GBPS for all HDMI ports-- I believe this is the 4K Enhanced setting. This was causing HDMI sync issues on my Series X, PS5 and Apple TV as all were trying to use more bandwidth. I then set this to the 48GBPS setting (8K Enhanced) which also caused HDMI sync issues. Finally, I remembered this video where Vincent mentioned the S95C only supports 40GBPS. So I changed the setting in the receiver to 40GBPs (8K Standard) and now everything works without issue. I still get the occasional blip in the HDMI signal maybe once every 6-8 hours of viewing, but I think it might be more related to the HDMI cables I have than any issues with the TV or Receiver.
So much drama with HDMI 2.1 for Sony and Samsung even in 2023…meanwhile, LG has had this problem solved for years. LG is far from perfect, but they’ve embarrassed the competition on this specific topic.
LG is their own worst enemy. They've essentially gone all in on OLED when the market would have benefitted from them carrying forward miniLED tech as well. It would be great to see what LG could do with QD-OLED panels too.

I heard this year’s Samsung TVs have added restrictions on retail mode usage. I watched one of the videos from the TV Dan channel and saw that it’s only possible to select retail mode when first setting up the TV and access the built-in demo content.
When selecting the usage mode in the settings menu, if you select ‘home mode’ in the usage mode option it will be greyed out and you can’t change it unless you reset the TV to factory default. I’m not sure why they would add this restriction.

Marvelous work...i have set up my oled lg c1 in game best of all..congratulations
So I guess the only remaining questions are: (1) Will the Sony A95L correct all of the issues that the S95C has? and (2) Will the Sony A95L be worth the premium?
Only you can decide if its worth it, I got the 65" S95C for 1519. The 55" A95L will cost double the price of what I got the 65" so who knows how much the 65" A95L will be, 4k, 4.5k? Not worth it for me at all
I wonder if people who purchased the s95c can file to get their money back for false advertising. This is a huge issue if you are a PC gamer and made a purchase decision to buy this tv to game on it.
@@TechDoneRight1 You would have to find proof of the false advertising by Samsung Electronics for that to work. I searched, and I was unable to find any official Samsung material or press releases that prove that Samsung spread false information. I think that this could be a case of one or more reviewers making an error in their reviews.
Well, I have the S95C, A95K, and last year's S95B, very little difference amoung them, they all look stunning, the way I have them calibrated. I only brought the S95C for the 77" size, and I plan on purchasing the A95L 65", to do a side by side...
Are you planning on reviewing either the samsung qn95c or the sony x95L ? Would love to see how they compare to OLED and hear your full detailed thoughts on them since usually its hard to trust anyone else (at least for me personally, you're my go to)
So I have the 77" S95C since the day it launched. No issues for me with 4K, HDR, 10bit, 144hz on an RTX 4090. The couple I know that don't have this issue have the tv from an early purchase at launch. The ones that have the issue seem to have TV's that might be later releases. Wondering if there was a change to the design.
Worse yet. What if samsung sent out brand new tvs at a launch correctly then for later shipments sent them out with older one connect hardware? It is weird. I've had 0 issues with 144hz on my s95c but I keep seeing people having issues.
I haven't experienced it either 4K 144hz 10bit has been flawless on my S95C hmm 🤔
I also use it as PC Monitor. No issues at 10 Bit and 144hz.
No issues for me either. That's the trouble with pc gaming, there's so many different combinations of pc components, cables, pc setting and driver versions. It could be anything causing issues

Thanks again Vincent, another reason why you just can't trust Samfung. Either get the 55-77G3 or wait for the Sony.
The king has spoken thank you
Hope Samsung sees this hlg is a mess
Why did the LG G3 have a green tint compared to the Samsung and reference TV? You can see it clearly in the Arrival scene on her face, and also the beach scene. Im assuming they were all calibrated to correct white point.
