I can get the 55 inch Samsung S95C for $1599 and the S90D same size for $1799 so which one should I get? I'm not interested in the S90C because I want either a 55 or 65 inch panel and the S90C only comes with 2nd Gen in 77 inch.
I got the S95D because I have the big windows with the sun shining directly in. My previous 10 year old TV was absolutely unwatchable at any time the sun was coming in. So I chose the S95D specifically because of the anti-glare. I have not had the same experience you had with glare being spread out. When the sun comes directly in the window and directly onto the screen, yes I can see the glare. The glare is in the shape of the window, not spread out. The glare is just a white blur, and not a sharp mirror-image like on a glossy screen. More importantly, even when the glare is there, I can still clearly see the image on the television through the glare. We do have blinds, but they aren't completely opaque. They are the kind that simply reduces the sunlight coming in, but the room is still extremely bright with them closed. No, we can't change them or do anything about this. The point is, that with those blinds closed, and the sunlight merely reduced, but not even close to being eliminated, the S95D is completely glare free. It's very comfortable to watch, as if the room was dark, even though the room is very bright. Previous crappy TV was impossible to see anything. We couldn't use it at all during certain hours of the day. S95D, no regrets. YMMV
Why don’t you just buy blinds that block out the sun better? No one should be watching a television with the sun directly on it indoors. The Suns light will always win!
Seeing the s95d in a Best Buy was AMAZING. now I have to wonder what’s more important for me, great performance during the day or perfect performance at night :(
I think a point a lot of reviewers are missing regarding the glare/reflection debate is the ability to actual focus on content. I will take washed out screen 100% over a reflection in brighter rooms. I simply can not maintain focus when reflections are prominent.
Walked into my local Best Buy to check out the new TV's. They had the S95D and S90D on display but NONE of the new LG's. I will say the S95D was amazing. I could not tell any difference in the non reflective coating. Don't discount the S95D until you see it in person...
That’s a good point you should see it in person. I’ve seen matte screens before many times and just don’t prefer them. One thing to note is that the professional displays that they edit on are usually matte finish and they are always in a light controlled room. Personally I’m not certain what’s the point of this tv. There’s probably a reason TV companies haven’t been making matte screens displays. This is not a new technology not at all. Looking forward to seeing it for myself. When I watch TV, I usually watch at night or if I watch it today I pull the shades so again I’m not sure the purpose of a matte finish TV. And from what I’ve heard thus far from Brian, this TV seems to be best in a darker room.
@@michael-4k4000 yeah somewhat confusing with this TV being best in a dark room. I agree with you I prefer the more glossy screens. I did go back into the Best Buy today and they had both 65 and 77 inch S95D displayed and they looked awesome. I couldn’t tell it had matte.
Thanks for the video review! I just ordered the S95D open box discount at Best Buy, I can not stand glares so that is why I chose it. All TVs I had need a sound bar or SRS!
I had a feeling the s90d would start as a 2nd gen, as the s90c started as a 1st gen. What would be interesting, and I have a feeling... the s90d will be equal to a s90c 2nd gen modded (512) in service menu to s95c brightness levels (they did reduce 2nd gen to ana peak 512 from 588 to get that 20% push for upcoming next gen) . That gives the 20% brightness increase, and could be exactly the same exact thing that they can charge a higher price for. It will be interesting to see a s90c vs a s90d at some point, especially if anyone was brave enough to do the +20% s90c mod for brightness.
You have the best reviews ever WHY don't others do this wtfff man they're front page and i had to put "vs" in my search to discover you. that sound test was so fun to listen to
Thanks a lot. Although maybe mentioned a bit in the video, what can you say about the details of each tv? Is the 95d more soft? Is it bad as sometimes mentioned in other videos? And what do you think of adding the soundbar Q990D to the 95D tv? Is that a good choice?
The QD-OLED version of the S90D is fantastic. The WOLED versions are a bit average. Some lucky Americans get a QD-OLED 77" reportedly. The rest of us get WOLED 77".
The key feature that you were not able to delineate is; On the S 90 D , the 55 and 65” sizes have QD OLED, but are they second generation panels or third generation panels like the S 95 D?? This makes a difference . I would definitely pay for the third generation. I don’t know if I have to get the 95 to get that on the 55 and 65”
Hey I’m trying to decide between 48 inch S90D & the 50 inch QN90D both around £1300 I’ll mostly be using it for PS5, Switch gaming & watching movies I’m aware of the Woled/QD-OLED situation but I’m still wondering wether the S90D or QN90D is better for me.
I think I remember you saying that last year the 77” S90C should be the go to for most people and that it had a superior panel compared to the 65”. Rn I’m think I’m between the 77” S95C and the 77” S90D. Also considering the 65” S95D. What’s your personal pick between these?
I'm looking to buy the S90D model for a movie room. I worried about the stuttering. Can you turn off features to prevent this from happening? I don't stream movies often; I always buy the Blue Rays.
Question for fomo or anyone that has an S95D, or maybe any QD-Oled, I just purchased the S95D, coming from a A9G Sony Oled, and I don't know if it's normal or not, but I see red around white text on dark backgrounds similar to an old CRT gun setup that isn't properly aligned, mainly around the bottom of the text, normal or not?
I was initially considering the 77-inch S90D here in Australia and almost bought it, but after reading reviews and articles, I discovered it has a WOLED panel. I visited a store and compared the 65-inch S90D and S95D (both with QD-OLED panels) side by side, and immediately noticed that the S95D had a cleaner image with no reflections at all. Currently, in Australia, the 77-inch S95D is priced around AUD 7,999, while the 77-inch S90D is on Black Friday sale for about AUD 3,900. The WOLED aspect of the 77-inch S90D really put me off, though - no wonder it’s much cheaper. I managed to snag a great deal on the 77-inch S95D, still AUD 1,000 more than the S90D, but it was definitely worth it.
I picked up the S90D last week, and have found that although the picture looks amazing 95% of the time, it’s not quite as crisp and smooth while watching certain content in both SDR and HDR as I was expecting it to be (motion is a bit juddery as well). I played with the settings, and am fortunately having it calibrated tomorrow. Will that make a difference in sorting out these minor issues? Is there anything else I can do myself to really bring out the best in this tv?
anti-judder motion should be at 3 to 4 to eliminate stutter while minimizing soap opera; filmmaker is the best mode more often than not (other than Dynamic for sports) and the 2 settings you can play with is Static (dark room) or Active tone mapping with Contrast Enhancer normally OFF in the dark, but you can play with Low to Medium for a little more pop. Shadow Detail is 0 at default but you can decrease it by -2 for deeper blacks in a dark room.
@@Icipher4 I'm SO much happier with it now. I have the occasional motion issue from time to time, but beyond that it looks amazing with the settings I have programmed in. I'll admit that it's not the tv you want to buy if you just plan on using the out of box settings because they are pretty awful. Sony will still have the best out of box, set it and forget it kind of settings, but when properly calibrated the S90D is a tank. It's back up to regular price right now, but if you can find a deal on it in the near future, I highly recommend getting it
@@Whitewolf_1186 That's awesome and I'm glad to hear it. I'm thinking of buying one soon. Did you do a full calibration or did you just really tinker with the settings on screen? Also, do you mind sharing what was a good price when you bought? I'm looking at the 77-in.
@@Icipher4 I had it fully calibrated because the price of it along with everything I bought was dirt cheap, so I figured why not? lol. I also did my own modifications to it to fit my personal tastes. I ended up getting the 65 inch for around $1900 Canadian. Right now it retails for $3300, but pretty much all the upper mid range OLEDs are the same price right now. The 77 inch would likely be around $4500-5k. If you can stand to wait till Black Friday, I'm sure around a grand will be shaved off that price
@stopthefomo looking for a quick answer. I am looking to replace an older tv in my bedroom since I got out of the hospital. I'm either looking at the Samsung S90J, LG C3 or budget tv Neo Qled QN90C. This is strictly for gaming and streaming some netflix. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
0:32 "Why?" A. Reduce life expectancy by adding more failure points and unnecessary parts? B. Shoving the remaining connect boxes from our LCD lines into the buyers throat instead of recycling them? C. Intentionally pushing a proven defect part into uninformed users so some of them give us the benefit of the doubt and repurchase next year in hopes of a fix? D. Free griller Box, so you can cook your stake on it while consuming your favorite media? E. Eye Care feature, take a free black screen every few minutes of TV usage to relax your eyes? F. Always bet on peoples ignorance, some people think it must be a premium feature since it costs more right? RIGHT?? Correct answer = ALL of the above. Bonus Feature: Portability and low weight. A major plus since we all carry around our TVs in our everyday life! I suggest a bundled Power Bank to sweeten the deal!
Saw the S90D in its 55in QDOLED variant and compared it to a 77 inch S95D. Absolutely loved the S90D. The S95D in my opinion is 🫤. That matte screen, while being extremely effective, is vile. That’s just my 2 bits. Take it for what it’s worth, which is nothing. 🙃 I wish Samsung had released it in both glossy and matte variants so that consumers had a choice. I prefer the build quality of the S95D over the S90D. As for the sound - don’t care at all, as my preferred listening mode is through Bluetooth headphones.
One question that I thought of is since the S95D appears to have better audio processing but worse sound due to its thinness that limit the built-in speakers, will the S95D make much better use of a paired Samsung sound bar system like a Samsung HW-Q990D than an S90D would due to the former’s better audio processing?
Thanks for your amazing and honest review FOMO! Thanks to your live stream, I realized I would not be happy with either S90D or S95D and will probably pull the trigger on S89C for 1799$ instead. (Unless your review of G4 tomorrow changes my mind to spend double the amount of money 😄)
Ive had the S89C for 3 months now and it has not failed to continually impress me every time I turn it on. Gaming is amazing, best gaming TV out there period. Great with HDR, 4k, 1080p, 1080i, 720p. If the G4 is better, I guarantee its not double the price better...ALSO got a Q990C Soundbar to complete it cause I SAVED so MUCH MONEY by getting the S89C.
@@trewright1482 thanks for your response! my current OLED is a 55C1 Oled. My only worry is if the s89c motion interpolation and upscaling is gonna be significantly worse. By the way, would you say the 77" size is gonna be too large for 9ft distance when it comes to gaming? (Especially FPS games)
@@kasramoghaddam1389 I have not seen a problem with upscaling and motion. I watch a ton of sports and no notice of stutter. I have my S89C mounted and sit about 11 ft away. I would not think 9 ft would be a problem. I play Halo and cod and it’s just mind blowing how great the TV does in gaming.
When will we find out if the S90D has the S95D panel? I'm guessing we won't know until December or later but do you have any ideas on when they might switch it?
Now I'm more confused than ever. So with bright windows in the background, it might make it unwatchable. Sigh. I guess it's a BF buy with the understanding it might be terrible in my room and I'll have to return it. Not ideal.
I am not having this issue at all. I replaced an LG C1 with an S95D 77-inch in a bright room with floor-to-ceiling windows on 3 sides, and the S95D is a dream. One of the big reasons I replaced the C1 was because when the sun was shining in the screen was like a mirror and I wasn't seeing much. The S95D is perfectly watchable and in fact looks brilliant.
There is still issue with S95B, C and this one with TV and dual monitor setup, when u turn off tv when u hear click sound from TV it disconnect second monitor, and when u turn on TV it turn on aswell.
I bought this TV. The top edge of the frame is not straight, it is curved in the center and on the left edge. Samsung said that this is allowed and they refused to exchange my TV for a good one. In the end, they told me that it was bent during transportation or during installation on the wall. I paid a lot of money for a crooked TV... Very disappointed.
Thanks for the comparison. Very helpful. One comment, the Samsung website shows both the S95D AND the S90D come with the One Connect box. You said One Connect was unique to the S95D. I'm curious if that is a mistake on their website.
Hi KG 1) If Sony A80L is compared with S90D , for movie/sports watching which tv will you prefer considering both might be similarly priced in July 2024 in India. 2) How can I check whether in India S90D 55" is QD OLED as you raised concerned for few countries?
was watching on my brand new 55 inch S90D a tv series on Amazon prime and ive had some heavy stutter seems some preset like movie mode and other would have some better smoother experience... not entirely sure which settings exactly mitigate stuttering on a tv show that fairly modern
@@stopthefomo btw compared to the G4 i had omg this s90D has crazy colors its a night and day difference. im glad ive returned that G4 the colors pop like its nuts and ive barely started a game on my ps5 with it and the difference is also night and day specially compared to my old samsung tv from 2016 XD
What I will never understand, is why, if the S95D has the One Connect Box, the wire that connects the One Connect Box to the TV, isn’t rated for in-wall installation? To me this would be a no-brainer, with it being such a premium TV. Is there a specific reason why Samsung would make such a ridiculous decision?! 👀🤷🏽♂️🤔
As I understand it, you said that a bright point light source would make the S95D unwatchable. But with that condition, would the S90D also be unwatchable? Did the anti-glare treatment not solve that light-source problem, or did it create or magnify that problem? Thanks.
S90D will just limit the reflection to that bright point rather than diffuse it outward (“magnify”?) so S90D more watchable but no TV is good with that glare just that the S95D made it worse
Hi. I got my Samsung s90d oled. Everything looks great but watching cricket is not that good. The motion looks blurry especially the white ball. The native content is up to 1080p, sometimes 720p. It is less noticeable when the content is higher quality. I have tried looking for reddit on the topic but because the tv is no new, couldn’t find any for s90d. I searched older model s90c and it had similar issues. I tried the settings they said in the threads but didn’t change much. I tried changing the judder to 2 like the posts had suggested and so on. Any suggestions please? I plan on watching a good amount of sports on this tv and don’t want to be disappointed. Please let me know of the settings that will reduce motion blur. Thanks!

I'd like to see what sony does with the s95d panel. Samsung make great hardware but they're processing just isn't up to Sony/Panasonic/Philips standards. Also the Panasonic z95A with the LG G4 panel will be fantastic
so the S90D is a S90C repacked? the S95D barely improved from last year, kinda Samsung dropped the ball here, what about power consumption? I know they are power hungry to reach the full white, what about the smudges difficulty to clean? are there at least improvements on these regards?
@stopthefomo what Do you think of the samsung 55 inch QNS92D? my old samsung is dying from 2016, its currently on sale seems like the S95D minus the Ai chip that from previously i guess... anyways compared to my old Samsung 55Ju6400 i assume the new OLed S92D will absolutely destroy it, i just went to see it in store it looks amazing. or should i invest in S90D? Thx you for any help or Suggestion FOMO :)
Not a lot the d is brighter they say but 200 more I think the d has a stand c doesn't not for sure on that I bought a d for the close out price of a c at video only
Absolutely not. The power supply voltages from an S95C One Connect Box and S95D One Connect Box are different, with the high voltage power rail on the S95C having a higher voltage than the S95D’s high voltage rail. AllAboutTKK tried a One Connect Box swap and fried the mismatched panel and box fried.
I'm speaking on behalf of those for whom money is no object who want the best image. No 77-inch size for third-generation QD-OLED? Could it be that maybe the 77-inch second-generation QD-OLEDs didn't do well because larger brighter QLED LCDs were selling for a lower price?
@@stopthefomo I'm glad to be wrong and am glad there IS a 77-inch third-generation QD-OLED out there. I hope Sony carries on with Samsung Display's QD-OLED technology so third-generation QD-OLED lovers could also get Dolby Vision.
@@Menorahdude I have a Dolby Vision compatible, Full Array Local Dimming Sony non mini LED. Compared to HDR10, I love Dolby Vision's clearer distinction between various luminance levels up and down the gray scale. In case you saw my previous complaints about Dolby Vision months ago, I wasn't fully aware that disc authorers want a display to reach peak brightness in some movies, while they don't want a display to reach peak brightness for other movies. Now that I'm aware of that and appreciate its abilities, I'll either only watch Dolby Vision in dark rooms, put up with the scenes which are difficult to watch in high ambient light, or mix SDR with the BT.2020 color space in high ambient light.
I was personally set on getting the G4, but when looking at the screen during upscaling (because we watch a lot of "normal" television), boy the Samsung is worlds better. I mean massively better at taking a bad picture and making it look good. And since we are "upgrading" from a 10+ year old 43" LED Full HD TV to a 65", anything we could buy today, even the most el-cheapo TV, is going to look amazingly better to us. So, to sum it up, because we still watch satellite TV (not always Full HD either), then the Samsung S90D is the choice for us, hands down. In some ways, I can't even believe how bad the LG G4 looked. Sony's flagship wasn't much better. I'm still blown away at the difference, especially in price. But, as my son noted, it's probably because the TV manufacturers are no longer concentrating on making "old" content look good. Maybe true. I'm not certain, because in reviews I keep hearing Sony's upscaling was the best. I just know what I saw and the Samsung S90D took the cake by miles. I mean, it really wasn't even close.
Returning s95d and getting a g4. I tried really hard to like it, but samsung will not let me. Its always blurry. Not even close to as sharp as my cx. There are too many other negative things about the user experience and about samsung themselves to try and overcome anything other than the best display in the world. Its not. The processing sucks and it needs to be hacked or calibrated to track eotf properly. And im clipping at 1370 nits in windows hdr calibration in hgig game mode. Anyway. Its blurry. Its film grain on 1000, at all times. I tried really really hard to like it but when earc doesnt work and samsung tells me "not all devices are compatible" about my $7000 processor from 2023, i lost it. In the time ive been typing this..fomo is still doing a tv speaker comparison. What the...
I want to return my S90D for a LG C4 I’m not a fan of the processing it feels artificial. I can’t believe I made such a bad decision. Hoping I can return it now.
I’ll never buy a Samsung tv again. I had a horrible experience with mine constantly losing connectivity, they’re cheaply made and they push out updates that neuter the picture. I’m sticking with LG
Certain people like matte screens, it’s obviously a small percentage as just about every display out there, computer tablet, phone, etc. is a glossy finish. Our phones are used every day outside with sunlight on them all the time and no one complains about the gloss screen.
I remember that I had to put my KS8000 in Game Mode to watch movies due to that random occasional skip in the motion. Drove me crazy. I have a S95B and it does not have that same problem. I should note that sometimes when a scene starts from a blank screen, there might be a slight studder. I am super sensitive so most will probably will not notice it. I watch stuff without interpolation as it still creates occasional artifacts.
Thanks! I keep hearing about it. Cause? Frame matching, maybe? Native apps only? Just want to have a tv with the least annoying quirks(I know none are perfect)

Thanks a lot. Although maybe mentioned a bit in the video, what can you say about the details of each tv? Is the 95d more soft? Is it bad as sometimes mentioned in other videos? And what do you think of adding the soundbar Q990D to the 95D tv? Is that a good choice?
The QD-OLED version of the S90D is fantastic. The WOLED versions are a bit average. Some lucky Americans get a QD-OLED 77" reportedly. The rest of us get WOLED 77".
S95D sounds brighter and more clear/defined. But, the S90D sounds more bassy ... albeit also a bit more muffled.
I love your videos, man! Waiting for the lg g4 review.
The key feature that you were not able to delineate is;
On the S 90 D , the 55 and 65” sizes have QD OLED, but are they second generation panels or third generation panels like the S 95 D??
This makes a difference . I would definitely pay for the third generation. I don’t know if I have to get the 95 to get that on the 55 and 65”
Thank you. No bs clickbait and an actual factual comparison.
Hey I’m trying to decide between 48 inch S90D & the 50 inch QN90D both around £1300 I’ll mostly be using it for PS5, Switch gaming & watching movies I’m aware of the Woled/QD-OLED situation but I’m still wondering wether the S90D or QN90D is better for me.
I planning on getting the Lg G4. So I'm looking forward to the review for the G4.
I think I remember you saying that last year the 77” S90C should be the go to for most people and that it had a superior panel compared to the 65”. Rn I’m think I’m between the 77” S95C and the 77” S90D. Also considering the 65” S95D. What’s your personal pick between these?
Does S9xD support Auracast (and therefore LE Audio)? Or is it just limited to Neo QLED 8K & Micro LEDs?
I'm looking to buy the S90D model for a movie room. I worried about the stuttering. Can you turn off features to prevent this from happening? I don't stream movies often; I always buy the Blue Rays.
Question for fomo or anyone that has an S95D, or maybe any QD-Oled, I just purchased the S95D, coming from a A9G Sony Oled, and I don't know if it's normal or not, but I see red around white text on dark backgrounds similar to an old CRT gun setup that isn't properly aligned, mainly around the bottom of the text, normal or not?
I was initially considering the 77-inch S90D here in Australia and almost bought it, but after reading reviews and articles, I discovered it has a WOLED panel. I visited a store and compared the 65-inch S90D and S95D (both with QD-OLED panels) side by side, and immediately noticed that the S95D had a cleaner image with no reflections at all. Currently, in Australia, the 77-inch S95D is priced around AUD 7,999, while the 77-inch S90D is on Black Friday sale for about AUD 3,900. The WOLED aspect of the 77-inch S90D really put me off, though - no wonder it’s much cheaper. I managed to snag a great deal on the 77-inch S95D, still AUD 1,000 more than the S90D, but it was definitely worth it.
Do you offer specific calibration settings to bring out the best image quality out of the s90d?
I picked up the S90D last week, and have found that although the picture looks amazing 95% of the time, it’s not quite as crisp and smooth while watching certain content in both SDR and HDR as I was expecting it to be (motion is a bit juddery as well). I played with the settings, and am fortunately having it calibrated tomorrow. Will that make a difference in sorting out these minor issues? Is there anything else I can do myself to really bring out the best in this tv?
anti-judder motion should be at 3 to 4 to eliminate stutter while minimizing soap opera; filmmaker is the best mode more often than not (other than Dynamic for sports) and the 2 settings you can play with is Static (dark room) or Active tone mapping with Contrast Enhancer normally OFF in the dark, but you can play with Low to Medium for a little more pop. Shadow Detail is 0 at default but you can decrease it by -2 for deeper blacks in a dark room.
What are your thoughts on the S90D now that you've had more time?
@@Icipher4 I'm SO much happier with it now. I have the occasional motion issue from time to time, but beyond that it looks amazing with the settings I have programmed in. I'll admit that it's not the tv you want to buy if you just plan on using the out of box settings because they are pretty awful. Sony will still have the best out of box, set it and forget it kind of settings, but when properly calibrated the S90D is a tank. It's back up to regular price right now, but if you can find a deal on it in the near future, I highly recommend getting it
@@Whitewolf_1186 That's awesome and I'm glad to hear it. I'm thinking of buying one soon. Did you do a full calibration or did you just really tinker with the settings on screen? Also, do you mind sharing what was a good price when you bought? I'm looking at the 77-in.
@@Icipher4 I had it fully calibrated because the price of it along with everything I bought was dirt cheap, so I figured why not? lol. I also did my own modifications to it to fit my personal tastes. I ended up getting the 65 inch for around $1900 Canadian. Right now it retails for $3300, but pretty much all the upper mid range OLEDs are the same price right now. The 77 inch would likely be around $4500-5k. If you can stand to wait till Black Friday, I'm sure around a grand will be shaved off that price
@stopthefomo looking for a quick answer. I am looking to replace an older tv in my bedroom since I got out of the hospital. I'm either looking at the Samsung S90J, LG C3 or budget tv Neo Qled QN90C. This is strictly for gaming and streaming some netflix. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
0:32 "Why?"
A. Reduce life expectancy by adding more failure points and unnecessary parts?
B. Shoving the remaining connect boxes from our LCD lines into the buyers throat instead of recycling them?
C. Intentionally pushing a proven defect part into uninformed users so some of them give us the benefit of the doubt and repurchase next year in hopes of a fix?
D. Free griller Box, so you can cook your stake on it while consuming your favorite media?
E. Eye Care feature, take a free black screen every few minutes of TV usage to relax your eyes?
F. Always bet on peoples ignorance, some people think it must be a premium feature since it costs more right? RIGHT??
Correct answer = ALL of the above.
Bonus Feature:
Portability and low weight.
A major plus since we all carry around our TVs in our everyday life!
I suggest a bundled Power Bank to sweeten the deal!
Saw the S90D in its 55in QDOLED variant and compared it to a 77 inch S95D. Absolutely loved the S90D. The S95D in my opinion is 🫤. That matte screen, while being extremely effective, is vile. That’s just my 2 bits. Take it for what it’s worth, which is nothing. 🙃 I wish Samsung had released it in both glossy and matte variants so that consumers had a choice. I prefer the build quality of the S95D over the S90D. As for the sound - don’t care at all, as my preferred listening mode is through Bluetooth headphones.
What are the dropouts he was talking about in the gaming section of the video? Is that a problem with the s90d or s95d?
Hey buddy welcome back home.
One question that I thought of is since the S95D appears to have better audio processing but worse sound due to its thinness that limit the built-in speakers, will the S95D make much better use of a paired Samsung sound bar system like a Samsung HW-Q990D than an S90D would due to the former’s better audio processing?
Thanks for your amazing and honest review FOMO!
Thanks to your live stream, I realized I would not be happy with either S90D or S95D and will probably pull the trigger on S89C for 1799$ instead.
(Unless your review of G4 tomorrow changes my mind to spend double the amount of money 😄)
Ive had the S89C for 3 months now and it has not failed to continually impress me every time I turn it on. Gaming is amazing, best gaming TV out there period. Great with HDR, 4k, 1080p, 1080i, 720p. If the G4 is better, I guarantee its not double the price better...ALSO got a Q990C Soundbar to complete it cause I SAVED so MUCH MONEY by getting the S89C.
@@trewright1482 thanks for your response! my current OLED is a 55C1 Oled. My only worry is if the s89c motion interpolation and upscaling is gonna be significantly worse.
By the way, would you say the 77" size is gonna be too large for 9ft distance when it comes to gaming? (Especially FPS games)
@@kasramoghaddam1389 I have not seen a problem with upscaling and motion. I watch a ton of sports and no notice of stutter. I have my S89C mounted and sit about 11 ft away. I would not think 9 ft would be a problem. I play Halo and cod and it’s just mind blowing how great the TV does in gaming.
dont sleep on the C4. the dark horse
Quick question,,, are the 24 models twice as as good as the 23? Cause their twice the price?
When will we find out if the S90D has the S95D panel? I'm guessing we won't know until December or later but do you have any ideas on when they might switch it?
Now I'm more confused than ever. So with bright windows in the background, it might make it unwatchable. Sigh. I guess it's a BF buy with the understanding it might be terrible in my room and I'll have to return it. Not ideal.
Yep
I am not having this issue at all. I replaced an LG C1 with an S95D 77-inch in a bright room with floor-to-ceiling windows on 3 sides, and the S95D is a dream. One of the big reasons I replaced the C1 was because when the sun was shining in the screen was like a mirror and I wasn't seeing much. The S95D is perfectly watchable and in fact looks brilliant.
Do you have settings for the s90d?
There is still issue with S95B, C and this one with TV and dual monitor setup, when u turn off tv when u hear click sound from TV it disconnect second monitor, and when u turn on TV it turn on aswell.
Which one to get lg c4 vs s90d
Does anyone have any recommendations for a calibrator in the Los Angeles area. S95D
I bought this TV. The top edge of the frame is not straight, it is curved in the center and on the left edge. Samsung said that this is allowed and they refused to exchange my TV for a good one. In the end, they told me that it was bent during transportation or during installation on the wall. I paid a lot of money for a crooked TV...
Very disappointed.
which one the S90D or S95D?
Thanks for the comparison. Very helpful. One comment, the Samsung website shows both the S95D AND the S90D come with the One Connect box. You said One Connect was unique to the S95D. I'm curious if that is a mistake on their website.
Hi KG
1) If Sony A80L is compared with S90D , for movie/sports watching which tv will you prefer considering both might be similarly priced in July 2024 in India.
2) How can I check whether in India S90D 55" is QD OLED as you raised concerned for few countries?
I'm trying to decide between the S95D 65" or the S90D 77" I'm leaning on the 77" S90. Sunlight is not a big issue where I plan to set it up.
Agreed 77" S90D is the better choice due to larger size immersion and $2499 at BB howl.me/cmZXnyLjAK5
Just got my s89c for $1799. What a deal. It's awesome!
was watching on my brand new 55 inch S90D a tv series on Amazon prime and ive had some heavy stutter seems some preset like movie mode and other would have some better smoother experience... not entirely sure which settings exactly mitigate stuttering on a tv show that fairly modern
go to Custom motion and set Anti-Judder to 3 that's where I have it at on mine
@@stopthefomo thx for the info.
@@stopthefomo btw compared to the G4 i had omg this s90D has crazy colors its a night and day difference. im glad ive returned that G4 the colors pop like its nuts and ive barely started a game on my ps5 with it and the difference is also night and day specially compared to my old samsung tv from 2016 XD
What I will never understand, is why, if the S95D has the One Connect Box, the wire that connects the One Connect Box to the TV, isn’t rated for in-wall installation?
To me this would be a no-brainer, with it being such a premium TV.
Is there a specific reason why Samsung would make such a ridiculous decision?! 👀🤷🏽♂️🤔
They have an in wall rated cable available. It's just not included and has to be purchased separately
Can the s95c match the s90d in terms of picture quality?
As I understand it, you said that a bright point light source would make the S95D unwatchable. But with that condition, would the S90D also be unwatchable? Did the anti-glare treatment not solve that light-source problem, or did it create or magnify that problem? Thanks.
S90D will just limit the reflection to that bright point rather than diffuse it outward (“magnify”?) so S90D more watchable but no TV is good with that glare just that the S95D made it worse
@@stopthefomo Thank you. I understand now.
Hi. I got my Samsung s90d oled. Everything looks great but watching cricket is not that good. The motion looks blurry especially the white ball. The native content is up to 1080p, sometimes 720p. It is less noticeable when the content is higher quality. I have tried looking for reddit on the topic but because the tv is no new, couldn’t find any for s90d. I searched older model s90c and it had similar issues. I tried the settings they said in the threads but didn’t change much. I tried changing the judder to 2 like the posts had suggested and so on. Any suggestions please? I plan on watching a good amount of sports on this tv and don’t want to be disappointed. Please let me know of the settings that will reduce motion blur. Thanks!
Were you able to fix the issue?
Did you manage to find a solution?
@nash797 Hello. Turned out it was only happening in willow app, and that too in certain matches. Has not happened for months now. I watch tennis, football, soccer, ice hockey, formula 1 on UA-cam, tsn, through my antenna and no such issues.

sometime has passed, so for the S90D in 55 inch, is there any confirmation for the QD Panel in other parts of the world?
Europe its WOLED in all sizes except 65 inch
In Indonesia s90d 55 is qd oled
I'd like to see what sony does with the s95d panel. Samsung make great hardware but they're processing just isn't up to Sony/Panasonic/Philips standards. Also the Panasonic z95A with the LG G4 panel will be fantastic
so the S90D is a S90C repacked? the S95D barely improved from last year, kinda Samsung dropped the ball here, what about power consumption? I know they are power hungry to reach the full white, what about the smudges difficulty to clean? are there at least improvements on these regards?
Why in your opinion the s95s don't improved much from s95c?
Amazon has the 77 inch S90C for $2K..is that a good deal?
GOOD INFORMATION ..... THANK YOU
@stopthefomo what Do you think of the samsung 55 inch QNS92D? my old samsung is dying from 2016, its currently on sale seems like the S95D minus the Ai chip that from previously i guess... anyways compared to my old Samsung 55Ju6400 i assume the new OLed S92D will absolutely destroy it, i just went to see it in store it looks amazing. or should i invest in S90D?
Thx you for any help or Suggestion FOMO :)
It’s any huge difference between s95c and 95d
Not a lot the d is brighter they say but 200 more I think the d has a stand c doesn't not for sure on that I bought a d for the close out price of a c at video only
Hey fomo, will a s95d one connect box work with last years s95c tv?
Absolutely not. The power supply voltages from an S95C One Connect Box and S95D One Connect Box are different, with the high voltage power rail on the S95C having a higher voltage than the S95D’s high voltage rail. AllAboutTKK tried a One Connect Box swap and fried the mismatched panel and box fried.
So I am somewhat new to the channel, but just wondering if he has ever explained why he is always in the dark with white gloves?
Looks like Samsung Website has S90D 77” on there now $3699 looking at Spec sheet says QD OLED? Can anyone else confirm I am reading that correct?
Confirmed in USA 77” S90D is QDOLED
Awesome thanks for reply it’s my TV of choice for 2024 but I will wait for the price drop in the future.
@@stopthefomois it 2nd generation QD OLED or 3rd generation? Thanks!
is the 77" S90D W-OLED or QD-OLED? someone help!
Chdck last 4 digits of s95d. If you see same last 4 alphabets on s90d model it is QD else not. Europe only has qd oled in 65 inch
화질에는 차이 없는거야?형 그리고 SD95는 빛반사 있어?
Has anyone found a wall mount compatible to the S90D?
Literally all wall mounts
Thank you for clarifying for us, the masses
I just got the S90D and I’m not a fan of the motion processing it has slight soap opera effect even when turning off picture clarity mode. Not happy.
I love Soap Opera
@@Pichoniix some people don’t mind if I can’t stand it.
Everything except the 65” is currently WOLED (without MLA) where I live. 1 size out of 6.. Someone needs to review the WOLED version TBH.
if the s90d panel is qd-oled for the size you want i'd just get that. But that's just me.
The real question for customer to ask is will they get qd-oled in s90d?
Yes that's the screen. U get qd oled
I'm speaking on behalf of those for whom money is no object who want the best image. No 77-inch size for third-generation QD-OLED? Could it be that maybe the 77-inch second-generation QD-OLEDs didn't do well because larger brighter QLED LCDs were selling for a lower price?
Yes, 3rd gen QDOLED on 77” S95D at launch
@@stopthefomo I'm glad to be wrong and am glad there IS a 77-inch third-generation QD-OLED out there. I hope Sony carries on with Samsung Display's QD-OLED technology so third-generation QD-OLED lovers could also get Dolby Vision.
@@chriskelly1740 Dolby vision is irrelevant. Just marketing now.
@@Menorahdude I have a Dolby Vision compatible, Full Array Local Dimming Sony non mini LED. Compared to HDR10, I love Dolby Vision's clearer distinction between various luminance levels up and down the gray scale. In case you saw my previous complaints about Dolby Vision months ago, I wasn't fully aware that disc authorers want a display to reach peak brightness in some movies, while they don't want a display to reach peak brightness for other movies. Now that I'm aware of that and appreciate its abilities, I'll either only watch Dolby Vision in dark rooms, put up with the scenes which are difficult to watch in high ambient light, or mix SDR with the BT.2020 color space in high ambient light.
direct sunlight is terrible on all QD-OLED. LG OLEDs handle direct sunlight better.
I was personally set on getting the G4, but when looking at the screen during upscaling (because we watch a lot of "normal" television), boy the Samsung is worlds better. I mean massively better at taking a bad picture and making it look good. And since we are "upgrading" from a 10+ year old 43" LED Full HD TV to a 65", anything we could buy today, even the most el-cheapo TV, is going to look amazingly better to us.
So, to sum it up, because we still watch satellite TV (not always Full HD either), then the Samsung S90D is the choice for us, hands down.
In some ways, I can't even believe how bad the LG G4 looked. Sony's flagship wasn't much better. I'm still blown away at the difference, especially in price. But, as my son noted, it's probably because the TV manufacturers are no longer concentrating on making "old" content look good. Maybe true. I'm not certain, because in reviews I keep hearing Sony's upscaling was the best. I just know what I saw and the Samsung S90D took the cake by miles. I mean, it really wasn't even close.
Returning s95d and getting a g4. I tried really hard to like it, but samsung will not let me. Its always blurry. Not even close to as sharp as my cx. There are too many other negative things about the user experience and about samsung themselves to try and overcome anything other than the best display in the world. Its not. The processing sucks and it needs to be hacked or calibrated to track eotf properly. And im clipping at 1370 nits in windows hdr calibration in hgig game mode.
Anyway. Its blurry. Its film grain on 1000, at all times.
I tried really really hard to like it but when earc doesnt work and samsung tells me "not all devices are compatible" about my $7000 processor from 2023, i lost it.
In the time ive been typing this..fomo is still doing a tv speaker comparison. What the...
I want to return my S90D for a LG C4 I’m not a fan of the processing it feels artificial. I can’t believe I made such a bad decision. Hoping I can return it now.
Thanks
95D audio is louder especially on highs but 95D has better bass and a litter warmer.
Maybe just add a sub woofer why do you need a full sound bar
65 S95D is $2700 right now on samsung site. No brainer at that price, right?
Good choice the s95D is way more premium tv overall, alot brighter aswell 🎉
Slightly like he mentioned
I’ll never buy a Samsung tv again. I had a horrible experience with mine constantly losing connectivity, they’re cheaply made and they push out updates that neuter the picture. I’m sticking with LG
Same here, s95c had 4 faults. Samsung called me at 6am 5 times. Its gambling buying their trash, never again
The fact that updates ruin the tv make me hate samsung
S90C, S90D or S95C? (S95D is a bit too pricey rn)
C4 vs S90D please
Wasn't it reported the S95D also has woled models, and Samsung being sketchy about it?
No. The reporting that I have seen so far is that the S95D is exclusively gen 3 QD-OLED.
Great buying tips as always Fomo!
I dont like the one connect box but you dont know what your getting with the s90d either woled or qd oled
Great comparison. But I figure when it comes to sound and you are a real enthusiast you don´t bother at all with TV sound, since it is crap anyways.
Certain people like matte screens, it’s obviously a small percentage as just about every display out there, computer tablet, phone, etc. is a glossy finish. Our phones are used every day outside with sunlight on them all the time and no one complains about the gloss screen.
Phones now get to 1200 or 1600 or even 2000 or 2400 nits full screen which can fight thre glare. Not feasible for oled TVs right now
Prices sure have changed a lot in 5 months. Costco has the S95D @ $3,100 and S90D @ $1,700 for the 65".
Do the Samsungs still have the occasional skip in their motion?
I remember that I had to put my KS8000 in Game Mode to watch movies due to that random occasional skip in the motion. Drove me crazy. I have a S95B and it does not have that same problem. I should note that sometimes when a scene starts from a blank screen, there might be a slight studder. I am super sensitive so most will probably will not notice it. I watch stuff without interpolation as it still creates occasional artifacts.
Thanks! I keep hearing about it. Cause? Frame matching, maybe? Native apps only? Just want to have a tv with the least annoying quirks(I know none are perfect)
Is nobody going to mention the panel lottery in the S90D???
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Money talks. Reviewers are muted
I dont want a 77 inch tv so the S90C 55 or thr S90D 55 or the S95C 55 for $1599 right now
I saw a place selling 55 inch s90d for 1200 with three year warranty
S90D or S90C, and why?
The s90D sounds far better
because it's cheaper?
You're not lying about that tone mapping on the s95d but the matte ruined it 🤦🏽♂️
The S95D, to my ears, had a tin can sound
Great review FOMO
Deuterium is the important thing. Hopefully the s90d has it.
Deuterium is in all types of panels that are used to produce the S90D. This includes WOLED, Gen 2 QD-OLED, and Gen 3 QD-OLED.
