QN95C vs QN95B vs QN900B: I should've elaborated further but the image quality of the 95B is same as 90B, and both are behind the QN90C if we're talking dark room movie performance. QN900B is brighter than 95B/90B but blooming is worse and shadow detail is crushed despite over 1000 dimming zones. However, in a BRIGHT room at 85", you may not notice the contrast differences in mainstream TV content like Netflix and sports between 95B, 90B, 900B but 90C and 95C have less rainbow this year. For dark room watching, the 95C is better than the 95B/90B/900B due to way better blooming control and black bar consistency. 65QN95C 1344 dimming zones is a substantial improvement over the 720 zones of the QN95B/90B and it shows in the shadow detail and blooming control. I would not consider the 900B/95B/90B over the QN90C/95C if you're willing to wait until BF for deals. If you must buy an 85" NOW for around $2K, I'd buy the QN90B and if 55"/65"/75" it would be the U8H for HDR movies.
Do you really consider the S95C to have better image processing compared to QN95C? I was under the impression that the QN95C has the 2023 8K Neural Processor and the S95C has an upgraded 4K Neural Processor? So the QN95C should have the better image processing? How many tests where done on low bitrate content to varify your conclusion?
Hey FOMO. If you had a choice between an 85inch QN90A (at 2300.00) vs the QN95C (At MSRP). Do you think there is that big of a difference in HDR Content (Both gaming and movies which are my uses) for me to upgrade. This year I was considering the QN95C or the S95C. Please let me know!
I need a 48 - 55 inch for my bedroom. I value clarity and detail above all other aspects of picture quality. Not much light in the room. Content is 95% Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu. Should I wait for the U8K before I decide? Should I buy the C2 48 inch for $900?
Great review for mini led fans , almost all videos are all about oleds , I am a oled man , but a few of friends who have a sony Z9K and and Samsung mini Led tvs don't feel oled is better , I went with 2 of them to see the G3 and S95C side by side and to them oled was still way to dim at 1500 nits. I wish brands like lg and Samsung would put out a tv that doesn't need so many updates to fix or break the tv , I have had my my Panasonic LZ2000 for over a year with 2 updates because they send there tvs to Hollywood to be tuned by a Hollywood colurists so it doesn't have to be updated to death . now that's caring about your customer.
This is the type of tv I've been waiting for. It has the majority of features I need. Now, I will wait until January or February when the price drops between $1,500-2,000 $3200 is too much at the moment.
But then Samsung will release another firmware update that will ruin something and then you are going to want to buy the QN95D which will also be $3200
Getting a QN95C in 20 days or less. Samsung failed to fix my QN90B, 3 times because of bad panels, so they are sending a new tv. More dimming zones will be nice.
Same thing is happening for me. My 85" QN90B came warped and they can't get a replacement so they're sending me the QN95C. I have been really impressed with the TV (minus the warped display) in our super bright living room (vaulted 18' ceilings with floor to ceiling windows), I'm hoping the brights on the QN95C are just as good.

@@stopthefomo There's gotta be some kind of software issue holding back the QN900C because the price to performance ratio just isn't making any sense as of now.
@@bryanrivera1528 Well its mainly because the QN900C has 4 times as many pixels to light up. 85" QN900C has typical power consumption at 199W and max of 495W. Same size 85" QN95C has typical power consumption at 119W and max of 390W. So by the power usage the 8k is working a lot harder, but cannot get enough without using more power.
Hey Fomo, I’m in the market for a Samsung 75inch. I know the QN95C has more dimming zones but it’s 4200.00, yet the QN90B in 75 is only 1799.00. Is the QN95C really that much better? What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance for your response!
I am wondering the exact same thing. Black Friday is coming up and I'm considering replacing computer monitors (I use TVs) and I'm not sure if it is worth it to go for the QN95C over the much cheaper 90B. I'm sure the 95C is better, I'm just not sure it is THAT much better.
You really didn't go into the 95B vs the 95C at all. I think when you factor everything into it, the 95B with one connect, VA panel etc might be the better overall buy and it's insanely cheaper right now. I have an 95B 85' that I got for $3,499 earlier this year and absolutely love it. I also have a 55 S95B and think the QN95B does an excellent job overall.
95B and 90B literally identical at 65", so I should've been clear that my conclusions regarding the 90B apply to the 95B in terms of worse blooming control and deep blacks compared to the 95C. But at 85" in a bright room, those issues are unlikely to be even visible.
Thankyou Fomo. Your coverage of this tv has been very helpful. Just to clarify..would you say the upscaling of 1080p hd content will look slightly sharper on the S95C or the QN95C. Thanks, Steve
Great video as usual ;) Given Samsung usually crushes shadows to avoid blooming, do the 1300+ dimming zones allow the QN95C to show Sony LED level shadow detail, or does it still crush slightly to avoid blooming to max?
yep, first year where crushing was NOT an issue while preserving deep blacks with minimal blooming although if we were pixel peeping with exposure on high, the U8H has a touch better blooming control but crushes black more in return.
Was it the inaccuracy of the U8H that made it look really washed out (lifted EOTF)? The QN95C was more accurate is maybe why it was so close to the S95C? How can you recommend the U8H, can you get it more accurate for APL? Great comparison otherwise, the QN95C looks pretty incredible! Love to see how well it does next to a Sony X95L, Samsung S95C and Sony A95L!
Can you compare the qn95b zoll the qn95c, one connect Box vs. more dimming zones but the qn95b is at 3000k for 85". Wanted to buy the C but for this Deal i consider the B qs 85" for this C is too expensive right now
I can get the QN95C , 75'', at £4,000 (instead of £5,000, so 20% discount), plus £500 cash back. I will settle for that. I have a quite bright south-facing Livingroom. Besides, I am worried about Oled in the long term (color degradation and burn in) - maybe I am overly worried about this technology, but for my own peace of mind, I think mini-led is still the technology to go for me. Same reasons why I am not upgrading yet my PC monitor to an expensive Oled :)
that's pricey, Sony just revealed launch price in Europe for the 85" (!) X95L to only 4999 €, that would be the WAY more attractive option if I were you, and it's coming in June.
I'm strongly considering buying the S95C after Samsung offer me 2 years of free Samsung Care +. One last question I need help with. Hows yall experience with Samsung customer service when it comes to tv?
Curious Fomo, would you buy a G2 77", C3 77" or a G3 65". I guess what I'm asking, is if the quality will be that big of a difference with HDR Movies and Gaming? With that said, between cost and quality, which would you buy?
If u dont want black crush go non oled. Go oled but its too dim i think in some bright scenes to me it dont get bright enough for bright scenes . SKY SCEnes look better to me on mini led . If u look close u will see the black crush on oled screen when u have them side by side .
Is Samsung ever going to give us Dolby Vision? I currently have a Samsung Q70R QLED, which I have been very happy with, but I would really like Dolby Vision support for my next TV.
Can you please help me. It says on Samsungs website the 85" QN95C has 100hz(up to 144hz), while the 85" QN90C has 120hz. Does that mean the 85" QN95C has lower or can you please explain? Also, which model of the two would you recommend buying? Thanks!

Great video Fomo! I have a concern, hopefully, you or someone in the comments can help me: I just got the Samsung QN95C. When I was watching some Blu-ray movies, standard blue-ray quality as well as Ultra HD 4k, there was noise in the image. Like a layer of grain across the entire screen quite noticeable and distracting, especially in dark scenes. I have changed different image modes (filmmaking mode, etc) and it does not fix this issue. I have called Samsung's technical service but, after checking remotely, they said the TV was fine. It's the first time I purchased a 4k smart TV and I am not very impressed by the image. I thought it would display a clean, sharp, and detailed image. I am quite puzzled. Could it be a problem with the HDMI cable? I am using the one that comes with the PlayStation 5. I am thinking of returning the TV. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
It’s between this QN95C and the S95C. I’ve never had an Oled much less a QD-OLED. I watch sports, game PS5, and stream shows. I have an older Samsung that blooms and I’m sick of it. With 1344 dimming zones does this do the job or should I go S95C
Don’t forget to mention their software update always ruins the television. there’s no HGIG support for gaming, and lastly, the one connect box all 4 HDMI 2.1 ports are only capped at 40 GB and not the full 48 GB
We'll have to wait and see about the effects of updates, this TV DOES have HGiG integration "for gaming" (what else do you suppose it would be for?) and your last point would be valid if the video was about a model with a one connect box - it isn't - and all four of the HDMIs support the full 2.1 spec including uncapped 48Gbps bandwidth.
if anything it's the other way around, QN95C might have better processor, that's at least what I thought when I saw the QN95B next to S95B in a store, I saw more fine detail on the QN95B.
Just bought the 85" QN95C for the equivalent of $3,000 here in Norway and hands down it's the best picture I've seen. Playback of 4K BluRay discs is astounding.
I currently have the Sony X85J and Sony X85K because they are flicker free. I need flicker free because of eye strain/headaches. I would love to upgrade to the Samsung S95B/C or Sony A95K or LG G3 or Samsung QN95C. Are any of these new 2022/2023 models flicker free?
Hello Fomo, I wanted to ask you if this new TV will make rainbows? I have the 85” QN95B, it looks beautiful during the day, but at night, all the ceiling lights in my kitchen are reflected on the screen, I'm going to change the tv I have at Best Buy, but I wanted to ask your advice? I wait for the QN95C? Will I have the same problem? I don't want rainbows on my tv 😀
Would like to see testing with "Standard" Local Dimming vs "High". Same test on QN900C without LD bug. Classy Tech has said on older models that "Standard" has less blooming suppression and a brighter image compared to "High".
it really is content dependent, and this year Standard appears to do little on the QN95C compared to previous years. I normally reserve Standard for full screen sports if I need a little extra brightness but conrast suffers noticeably.
Its simple, its basically the same for all Samsung mini LEDS. You get higher APL on standard local dimming but you lose a bit of contrast, since shadow details are lifted, and as a result, you get a bit more blooming. If you want minimal blooming, always set LD to high!
@@Sejuani89 I've got one and have to correct you on using Standard LD, in HDR it's the brightest for APL and Highlights, so it does reduce contrast and increase shadow detail but doesn't have any more blooming since raising the APL by a decent amount means you can have brighter highlights with the same amount of blooming as LD High. So you should use High for a dark room and Standard for a bright room.
@Barry Jones you just repeated everything I said except for the blooming part. Standard increases blooming because the backlight pushes more light. I have QN90B and thats what I see, FOMO even said it on one of his videos how the standard and high LD works.
My next TV will need to be Adaptive Sync, 8k, 120Hz, 10 bits, HDR with no Burnin... whatever technology can get there, this will be my next PC monitor. Until then I sit on my QN82Q900R.
Great review al Always! Its Just a shame you Guys never got to experience tcls best tv from last year the tcl 93. Its equivalent to the 8series in the us. It already had around 2000 dimming zones in 75 inch version. Maybe this year)
7:05 No you don't have to go with OLED. What you failed to show was that you CAN just turn on "Active tone mapping", use "Standard" picture mode instead of FFM. You can even use a little "Contrast enhancer" on "low" and now the image will be more brighter. Please stop presenting the TV as though it only can do FMM with STATIC tone mapping. It can be brighter. It's up to the consumer to do so. But acting as though your only choice is OLED is not true if you can tweak settings to at least increase the capability . I mean what is the point in getting any high end TV if you are just going to hold it back because some arbitrary rules like "creators intent". I and most others wouldn't care. If I had the S95C I would watch it in Standard or movie mode and I would always use active tone mapping, even more so on an OLED that has perfect contrast. So even the S95C can also turn those on and be brighter. But the point is that you can get these highlights as bright as the S95C using the FMM mode. Also when you have the TV in your home, you're not going to have an S95C sitting next to it being compared. It will be you adjusting to what your TV can do. You guys always present and review TVs according to some FMM standards. 90% of people wouldn't even use them. This in turn makes the TV look less that what it can actually do. I am not talking "Dynamic" mode here. I am talking "Standard" with "warm 2", "Active tone mapping", maybe "Contrast enhancer" on "low or high" (dealers choice). That would make the TV a lot brighter and punchier on all levels. Some constructive criticism that should apply to all you YT reviewers because if you review a TV, you should show all it can do. Not base it on your personal preferences. We that watch your videos have OUR preferences but we never get to see them or see if the TV we might want, can do it. Do you understand what I mean by that? You also don't just need 85". In my case an S95C at 77" would mean I need to get a BB warranty and here in Canada it would cost me $1500+ tax. So the TV would end up costing over $8000. Which means I would have to get the 65" version with BB warranty. But with the same price of $6500+ tax for that 65" and BB warranty I can get a 75" QN95C. So it would mean a bigger TV for me.
6:54 the problem is this scene is not QN95C but U8H you're showing I know that the U8H was on top and the QN95C at the bottom where you now have blacked out with the black square. This footage is all from the stream. Why? Besides, there are things you can do with the QN95C to get stronger specular highlights in scenes like this one. This is FMM with Static tone mapping. Just turning on Active tone mapping would make it a little brighter and using Contrast enhancer on low you could also potentially increase the impact. Not everything has to be FMM with static all the time. Most people would rather have some umph. Did you forget that we talked about it in the stream, you put it on at my request and the QN95C even beat out the S95C in that instance because of CE and Standard with active tone mapping. The point I am making there IS a way to make it "more". But this review make it sound like "this is what you get and nothing can be done about it". That's not true. Nice review otherwise, but you need to start doing more examples and get more into detail in your TV reviews. Could have had far more examples. This is just a mini-take on the TV.
Have to wait to see if the qn95c local dimming works just as good inside game mode as it does out of game mode. If it does it would finally make Samsung leds very competitive as a gaming tv
Im Having FOMO between the Qn800C and Qn95C, my size limit is 65 (i know, how horrible) , Can you compare these two please ? Use case Console gaming and streaming services
I really like how you boil things down and simplify all the tech-speak. There are plenty of other sources that "pixel peepers" can go to and wade into that "analysis paralysis" zone and analyze things to the N-th degree. But I'm wondering do people actually hinge their decision on scenes like the one in "Mad Max" and "The Greatest Showman"? I mean those shots (taking up just a few minutes) make up very little of the overall performance of a panel. Plus, aren't those played on Blu-Ray DVDs? Does anyone still even watch DVDs anymore? I could be wrong, but I keep getting the sense that most people are watching content like "The Bachelor", "Survivor", "American Idol", "Real Housewives of _________". "The Masked Singer", or "The Voice". Not exactly the most visually dazzling content to warrant spending $3000+ TV. How good is the HDR streaming from the various services? Does it depend on the bandwidth of the TV service provider? I'm still using an '09 46" Samsung 8500 Series 1080 TV so I can't take advantage of those features until I upgrade.
For me the step was very big to my 4k tv with hdr, i have the qn90a. Streaming from Netflix with hdr or prime video is amazing. As are films. Bit of course, if you only watch reality, you wont notice that much of upgrading. Although a 55 or 65 inch is a very different viewing experience than say: 40 inch.
With the lag of no Dolby vision. Only 2 real full 2.1a hdmii ports , no Atmos... It's a no go Samsung has to stop banning Dolby .. Samsung with Dolby visio and 4 real 2.1a hdmi ports it would be my favourite

Thank you
he is right, it does look quite mediocre. Tech with KG had it in comparison stream against the S95C, G3 & C3 and it didn't fare too well against these. I'd wait for the QN95C reviews, that one will look much better, since it's using VA panel and better processing.
Good bye QN90b, hello QN90C! Getting rid of my QN90b and getting. Anything older then 12 months is “old news”. I need a fresh TV every year or two. Usually 2!
I am so freaking out with my new Sony A80L purchase and the burn in inevitable to be. I feel like it’s a waste of money to enjoy your tv and Sony won’t cover the repair. Who has 2500 bucks to throw at this luxury each time it fails? What’s plan B?
ok -ok but my use case Blu-ray images with DTS sound or DTS:X .For the qn95c I have to put in a streaming device ( oppo 203 or other) Samsung is NOT ABLE to handle audio passthrough with a DTS signal. This is a huge problem for anybody who wants to enjoy a Movie with movie sound . Hisense u8h can handle the DTS sound. This Sammy tv is more than 3grand! My 10 years old sony tv is able to handle DTS . Sammy is still in the stone age . Movie = picture + sound ! For me a flagship modell you can expect to handle DTS !
Stop the FOMO: What about the Hisence UX 85 With 2,500 Nits, 20,000 mini led's, 5000 local dimming zones. Everyone seems very quiet about reviewing this TV. It might just blow away any Samsung, Lg and Sony out of the water! The 85 inch monster is currently selling for $4,999 at Best Buy, Amazon and Walmart. Who will be the first to review this extremely promising TV?
Nice LED video, FOMO. Here I am once again to fly the LG banner. On the QLED side, true, nothing new from LG this year, so why would you want to consider a QNED 85? Wide Angle Viewing, a criteria you continue to ignore in your reviews. The QN95C and X95L both have it and high dimming zone counts. If you can't pay the Sony Tax, the QNED 85 is a great choice; it even has DolbyVision. For OLEDs, check out the TV longevity tests out there. Based on those tests, my OLED money would go to an LG C3 or G3.
QN95C vs QN95B vs QN900B: I should've elaborated further but the image quality of the 95B is same as 90B, and both are behind the QN90C if we're talking dark room movie performance. QN900B is brighter than 95B/90B but blooming is worse and shadow detail is crushed despite over 1000 dimming zones.

I would not consider the 900B/95B/90B over the QN90C/95C if you're willing to wait until BF for deals. If you must buy an 85" NOW for around $2K, I'd buy the QN90B and if 55"/65"/75" it would be the U8H for HDR movies.

Same size 85" QN95C has typical power consumption at 119W and max of 390W. So by the power usage the 8k is working a lot harder, but cannot get enough without using more power.
Hey Fomo, I’m in the market for a Samsung 75inch. I know the QN95C has more dimming zones but it’s 4200.00, yet the QN90B in 75 is only 1799.00. Is the QN95C really that much better? What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance for your response!
I am wondering the exact same thing. Black Friday is coming up and I'm considering replacing computer monitors (I use TVs) and I'm not sure if it is worth it to go for the QN95C over the much cheaper 90B. I'm sure the 95C is better, I'm just not sure it is THAT much better.
You really didn't go into the 95B vs the 95C at all. I think when you factor everything into it, the 95B with one connect, VA panel etc might be the better overall buy and it's insanely cheaper right now. I have an 95B 85' that I got for $3,499 earlier this year and absolutely love it. I also have a 55 S95B and think the QN95B does an excellent job overall.
95B and 90B literally identical at 65", so I should've been clear that my conclusions regarding the 90B apply to the 95B in terms of worse blooming control and deep blacks compared to the 95C. But at 85" in a bright room, those issues are unlikely to be even visible.
No one connect with 95C..Yes for 95B
95c is a definite step up as someone who had to swap their B for a C due to the B dying on me
The 95B is outdated and obsolete. Gets severely outperformed by the 95C.
95c supposbly has va panel to
Thankyou Fomo. Your coverage of this tv has been very helpful. Just to clarify..would you say the upscaling of 1080p hd content will look slightly sharper on the S95C or the QN95C. Thanks, Steve
Does the smaller 55 inch qn95c also come with 1300 dimming zones or only the bigger models?
Great video as usual ;)
Given Samsung usually crushes shadows to avoid blooming, do the 1300+ dimming zones allow the QN95C to show Sony LED level shadow detail, or does it still crush slightly to avoid blooming to max?
yep, first year where crushing was NOT an issue while preserving deep blacks with minimal blooming although if we were pixel peeping with exposure on high, the U8H has a touch better blooming control but crushes black more in return.
Was it the inaccuracy of the U8H that made it look really washed out (lifted EOTF)? The QN95C was more accurate is maybe why it was so close to the S95C? How can you recommend the U8H, can you get it more accurate for APL?
Great comparison otherwise, the QN95C looks pretty incredible! Love to see how well it does next to a Sony X95L, Samsung S95C and Sony A95L!
I just want a 43" RGB subpixel TV with good colors and ~1000 or more dimming zones. Is it that much to ask for?
Help me , is the Samsung 85 QN93C neo qled tv the same as QN90C
Can you compare the qn95b zoll the qn95c, one connect Box vs. more dimming zones but the qn95b is at 3000k for 85". Wanted to buy the C but for this Deal i consider the B qs 85" for this C is too expensive right now
I can get the QN95C , 75'', at £4,000 (instead of £5,000, so 20% discount), plus £500 cash back. I will settle for that. I have a quite bright south-facing Livingroom. Besides, I am worried about Oled in the long term (color degradation and burn in) - maybe I am overly worried about this technology, but for my own peace of mind, I think mini-led is still the technology to go for me. Same reasons why I am not upgrading yet my PC monitor to an expensive Oled :)
that's pricey, Sony just revealed launch price in Europe for the 85" (!) X95L to only 4999 €, that would be the WAY more attractive option if I were you, and it's coming in June.
I'm strongly considering buying the S95C after Samsung offer me 2 years of free Samsung Care +. One last question I need help with. Hows yall experience with Samsung customer service when it comes to tv?
Hi, what do you think about Samsung QN90C?
Same here
Thanks for reviewing a MiniLED. I love seeing the comparisons but have no interest in an OLED.
Great review! What's better for gaming (PS5) and watching sports 77 inch S95C or 85 inch Q95C? Also my room is kind of dark
Why isn't the qn95c available? Samsung doesn't even have a price for it on there site.
Where do you live?
Curious Fomo, would you buy a G2 77", C3 77" or a G3 65". I guess what I'm asking, is if the quality will be that big of a difference with HDR Movies and Gaming? With that said, between cost and quality, which would you buy?
If u dont want black crush go non oled. Go oled but its too dim i think in some bright scenes to me it dont get bright enough for bright scenes . SKY SCEnes look better to me on mini led . If u look close u will see the black crush on oled screen when u have them side by side .
is it worth to get 75" qn95c over 75" qn85c? around $900 more expensive at my area
Awaiting the Hisense u8k to see how that compares or the 85" Hisense ULED UX if it comes out this year in the US
Is Samsung ever going to give us Dolby Vision? I currently have a Samsung Q70R QLED, which I have been very happy with, but I would really like Dolby Vision support for my next TV.
Let’s see what Sharp, Hisense and TCL bring to the $1200 TV segment!
Can you please help me. It says on Samsungs website the 85" QN95C has 100hz(up to 144hz), while the 85" QN90C has 120hz. Does that mean the 85" QN95C has lower or can you please explain?
Also, which model of the two would you recommend buying? Thanks!
What would you recommend for cable tv hd transmision and a lot of sports?

Can you do a comparison video with qn90b?
Great video Fomo!
I have a concern, hopefully, you or someone in the comments can help me:
I just got the Samsung QN95C. When I was watching some Blu-ray movies, standard blue-ray quality as well as Ultra HD 4k, there was noise in the image. Like a layer of grain across the entire screen quite noticeable and distracting, especially in dark scenes. I have changed different image modes (filmmaking mode, etc) and it does not fix this issue.
I have called Samsung's technical service but, after checking remotely, they said the TV was fine.
It's the first time I purchased a 4k smart TV and I am not very impressed by the image.
I thought it would display a clean, sharp, and detailed image.
I am quite puzzled. Could it be a problem with the HDMI cable? I am using the one that comes with the PlayStation 5.
I am thinking of returning the TV.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
It’s between this QN95C and the S95C. I’ve never had an Oled much less a QD-OLED. I watch sports, game PS5, and stream shows. I have an older Samsung that blooms and I’m sick of it. With 1344 dimming zones does this do the job or should I go S95C
Don’t forget to mention their software update always ruins the television. there’s no HGIG support for gaming, and lastly, the one connect box all 4 HDMI 2.1 ports are only capped at 40 GB and not the full 48 GB
We'll have to wait and see about the effects of updates, this TV DOES have HGiG integration "for gaming" (what else do you suppose it would be for?) and your last point would be valid if the video was about a model with a one connect box - it isn't - and all four of the HDMIs support the full 2.1 spec including uncapped 48Gbps bandwidth.
The qn95 doesn't have a one box
You’re on about the S95C, not the QN95C
7:38 how does the S95C have a better image processor than QN95C. You do realize they have the same 20 thread Neural quantum processor.
if anything it's the other way around, QN95C might have better processor, that's at least what I thought when I saw the QN95B next to S95B in a store, I saw more fine detail on the QN95B.
Is qn95c coming to us?
Just bought the 85" QN95C for the equivalent of $3,000 here in Norway and hands down it's the best picture I've seen.
Playback of 4K BluRay discs is astounding.
I currently have the Sony X85J and Sony X85K because they are flicker free. I need flicker free because of eye strain/headaches. I would love to upgrade to the Samsung S95B/C or Sony A95K or LG G3 or Samsung QN95C. Are any of these new 2022/2023 models flicker free?
I would like to know this as well!
Need dolby vision. I'm excited to see how the Hisense compares this year.
😅 you really don't though
When will the QN95C be released? Samsung and Best don’t have the tv for sale.
Soon, probably later this week
Whats the difference between VA and ADS panel
Va better contrast less blooming, ips better viewing angles worst contrast more blooming
Hello Fomo, I wanted to ask you if this new TV will make rainbows? I have the 85” QN95B, it looks beautiful during the day, but at night, all the ceiling lights in my kitchen are reflected on the screen, I'm going to change the tv I have at Best Buy, but I wanted to ask your advice? I wait for the QN95C? Will I have the same problem? I don't want rainbows on my tv 😀
You could turn off your lights or get a QN90C that doesn't have any rainbows. The QN95C still has some it looks like.
@@barryjones2366is qn90c 50 inch va that good ???
How should I calibrate this TV for PC using Windows HDR calibration app?
Would like to see testing with "Standard" Local Dimming vs "High". Same test on QN900C without LD bug. Classy Tech has said on older models that "Standard" has less blooming suppression and a brighter image compared to "High".
it really is content dependent, and this year Standard appears to do little on the QN95C compared to previous years. I normally reserve Standard for full screen sports if I need a little extra brightness but conrast suffers noticeably.
@@stopthefomo Could you do a quick check on the 900C to see if it behaves differently?
Its simple, its basically the same for all Samsung mini LEDS. You get higher APL on standard local dimming but you lose a bit of contrast, since shadow details are lifted, and as a result, you get a bit more blooming. If you want minimal blooming, always set LD to high!
@@Sejuani89 I've got one and have to correct you on using Standard LD, in HDR it's the brightest for APL and Highlights, so it does reduce contrast and increase shadow detail but doesn't have any more blooming since raising the APL by a decent amount means you can have brighter highlights with the same amount of blooming as LD High. So you should use High for a dark room and Standard for a bright room.
@Barry Jones you just repeated everything I said except for the blooming part. Standard increases blooming because the backlight pushes more light. I have QN90B and thats what I see, FOMO even said it on one of his videos how the standard and high LD works.
from what i know 75qn95A has 1000 diming zones and it performs better with blooming than qn95B. Does the qn95C worth the upgrade?
What one is better for gaming
Which 65" TV do you recommend in a bright room and I don't want to baby my TV anymore (if you know what I mean) .. 😅
Has QN95c been released yet ?
What do you think compared to the qn90c ips panel.the motion in samsung even off has alot of fake smoothness. I cant imagine va panel in qn 95c
Va panel in 50 qn90c is great 🎉
My next TV will need to be Adaptive Sync, 8k, 120Hz, 10 bits, HDR with no Burnin... whatever technology can get there, this will be my next PC monitor. Until then I sit on my QN82Q900R.
What would you recommend for gaming tv the oled or mini led?
OLED without thinking twice! Samsung S90C, LG B3,C3,G3 or Sony A95L, A80L
And what about "game motion plus" on QN95C ? Are there any artifacts on fast camera movements like FPS games ?
Are there big difference between 85qn85c vs 85qn90c? Price difference is around 1000€
Great review al Always! Its Just a shame you Guys never got to experience tcls best tv from last year the tcl 93. Its equivalent to the 8series in the us. It already had around 2000 dimming zones in 75 inch version. Maybe this year)
7:05 No you don't have to go with OLED. What you failed to show was that you CAN just turn on "Active tone mapping", use "Standard" picture mode instead of FFM. You can even use a little "Contrast enhancer" on "low" and now the image will be more brighter.
Please stop presenting the TV as though it only can do FMM with STATIC tone mapping. It can be brighter. It's up to the consumer to do so.
But acting as though your only choice is OLED is not true if you can tweak settings to at least increase the capability .
I mean what is the point in getting any high end TV if you are just going to hold it back because some arbitrary rules like "creators intent". I and most others wouldn't care.
If I had the S95C I would watch it in Standard or movie mode and I would always use active tone mapping, even more so on an OLED that has perfect contrast.
So even the S95C can also turn those on and be brighter. But the point is that you can get these highlights as bright as the S95C using the FMM mode. Also when you have the TV in your home, you're not going to have an S95C sitting next to it being compared. It will be you adjusting to what your TV can do.
You guys always present and review TVs according to some FMM standards. 90% of people wouldn't even use them. This in turn makes the TV look less that what it can actually do. I am not talking "Dynamic" mode here.
I am talking "Standard" with "warm 2", "Active tone mapping", maybe "Contrast enhancer" on "low or high" (dealers choice). That would make the TV a lot brighter and punchier on all levels.
Some constructive criticism that should apply to all you YT reviewers because if you review a TV, you should show all it can do. Not base it on your personal preferences. We that watch your videos have OUR preferences but we never get to see them or see if the TV we might want, can do it.
Do you understand what I mean by that?
You also don't just need 85". In my case an S95C at 77" would mean I need to get a BB warranty and here in Canada it would cost me $1500+ tax. So the TV would end up costing over $8000.
Which means I would have to get the 65" version with BB warranty. But with the same price of $6500+ tax for that 65" and BB warranty I can get a 75" QN95C.
So it would mean a bigger TV for me.
Oled lot better than this junk Samsung sells
@@Toddscamry-lk5wr Show me where Samsung hurt you. Especially enough that you would go and watch a review about "crap" wasting your time.
Honestly mike Tyson should come and punch you in the mouth for using contrast enchantments
6:54 the problem is this scene is not QN95C but U8H you're showing I know that the U8H was on top and the QN95C at the bottom where you now have blacked out with the black square. This footage is all from the stream. Why?
Besides, there are things you can do with the QN95C to get stronger specular highlights in scenes like this one. This is FMM with Static tone mapping. Just turning on Active tone mapping would make it a little brighter and using Contrast enhancer on low you could also potentially increase the impact. Not everything has to be FMM with static all the time. Most people would rather have some umph.
Did you forget that we talked about it in the stream, you put it on at my request and the QN95C even beat out the S95C in that instance because of CE and Standard with active tone mapping.
The point I am making there IS a way to make it "more". But this review make it sound like "this is what you get and nothing can be done about it". That's not true.
Nice review otherwise, but you need to start doing more examples and get more into detail in your TV reviews. Could have had far more examples. This is just a mini-take on the TV.
Qn90b vs qn95b 65 at the same price. Which is better for basement viewing?
Boss man!! So one question what tv is the best for video games right now?????
Have to wait to see if the qn95c local dimming works just as good inside game mode as it does out of game mode.
If it does it would finally make Samsung leds very competitive as a gaming tv
Any chance you will be reviewing the Hisense 85UX?
Years ago I read something about the blue in oled TV's dimming over a long time. Is that a real thing or was it a thing?
Im Having FOMO between the Qn800C and Qn95C, my size limit is 65 (i know, how horrible) , Can you compare these two please ? Use case Console gaming and streaming services
Why doesn't Smart TV (Google TV) update in sony A90J ?? Who will tell? Thank you!
Is this a VA panel or an ADS panel?
all QN95C sizes are VA panels
Is there a difference between VA and ADS panel ?
Just imagine a 85” inch with more zones!
Does QN85C come with more dimming zones vs QN85B?
No, same as 90B/C.
Thanks for the information ❤
55 inch qn95c how many dimming zones does it have?
FantasticA wonderful review TopDraw
been out of the loop for a short while. When are we going to see Sony L series reviews? when do they come out?
X95L In June, and the A95L later end of July I believe
A80L perhaps was released already
I really like how you boil things down and simplify all the tech-speak. There are plenty of other sources that "pixel peepers" can go to and wade into that "analysis paralysis" zone and analyze things to the N-th degree. But I'm wondering do people actually hinge their decision on scenes like the one in "Mad Max" and "The Greatest Showman"? I mean those shots (taking up just a few minutes) make up very little of the overall performance of a panel. Plus, aren't those played on Blu-Ray DVDs? Does anyone still even watch DVDs anymore? I could be wrong, but I keep getting the sense that most people are watching content like "The Bachelor", "Survivor", "American Idol", "Real Housewives of _________". "The Masked Singer", or "The Voice". Not exactly the most visually dazzling content to warrant spending $3000+ TV. How good is the HDR streaming from the various services? Does it depend on the bandwidth of the TV service provider? I'm still using an '09 46" Samsung 8500 Series 1080 TV so I can't take advantage of those features until I upgrade.
For me the step was very big to my 4k tv with hdr, i have the qn90a. Streaming from Netflix with hdr or prime video is amazing. As are films. Bit of course, if you only watch reality, you wont notice that much of upgrading. Although a 55 or 65 inch is a very different viewing experience than say: 40 inch.
I would buy an 85" QM8 before this TV. I also would get a great soundbar/sub & a PS5 for the price of an 85 QN 90 or 95C
With the lag of no Dolby vision. Only 2 real full 2.1a hdmii ports , no Atmos... It's a no go
Samsung has to stop banning Dolby ..
Samsung with Dolby visio and 4 real 2.1a hdmi ports it would be my favourite
One day you’ll realize Dolby vision means nothing
Does the QN95C support 1440p?

QUANTUM TV dissed the qn90c as horrible mini led with IPS panel.
What are your thoughts?
The master calibrator lol why would you even bother listening to him
he is right, it does look quite mediocre. Tech with KG had it in comparison stream against the S95C, G3 & C3 and it didn't fare too well against these.
I'd wait for the QN95C reviews, that one will look much better, since it's using VA panel and better processing.

I am so freaking out with my new Sony A80L purchase and the burn in inevitable to be. I feel like it’s a waste of money to enjoy your tv and Sony won’t cover the repair. Who has 2500 bucks to throw at this luxury each time it fails? What’s plan B?
Does like fantastic
ok -ok but my use case Blu-ray images with DTS sound or DTS:X .For the qn95c I have to put in a streaming device ( oppo 203 or other)
Samsung is NOT ABLE to handle audio passthrough with a DTS signal. This is a huge problem for anybody who wants to enjoy a Movie with
movie sound . Hisense u8h can handle the DTS sound. This Sammy tv is more than 3grand! My 10 years old sony tv is able to handle DTS .
Sammy is still in the stone age . Movie = picture + sound ! For me a flagship modell you can expect to handle DTS !
Stop the FOMO: What about the Hisence UX 85 With 2,500 Nits, 20,000 mini led's, 5000 local dimming zones. Everyone seems very quiet about reviewing this TV. It might just blow away any Samsung, Lg and Sony out of the water! The 85 inch monster is currently selling for $4,999 at Best Buy, Amazon and Walmart. Who will be the first to review this extremely promising TV?
X95L is available in 65 in Germany 😮
Nice LED video, FOMO. Here I am once again to fly the LG banner. On the QLED side, true, nothing new from LG this year, so why would you want to consider a QNED 85? Wide Angle Viewing, a criteria you continue to ignore in your reviews. The QN95C and X95L both have it and high dimming zone counts. If you can't pay the Sony Tax, the QNED 85 is a great choice; it even has DolbyVision.
For OLEDs, check out the TV longevity tests out there. Based on those tests, my OLED money would go to an LG C3 or G3.
U the real MVP
