I did as well. But gotta be honest. The TCL qm8 picture is better in some ways. Brightness obviously. The only problem with that TV is sports the background does a weird thing because of the mini LEDs.
I replaced my 50" tu8000 with the same tv from best buy $999. I made sure to get the 5 year warranty because I don't want screen burn in. Anyway, in having a hard time finding the best picture settings so here I am
@@DarthRaider for me. Brightness at 40. Low contrast on contrast enhancer. Dynamic picture mode. Auto brightness etc all turned off. I do use low clarity settings. 5 on the first and 2 on the judder. Peak brightness high. Could do better than this but I like the tv to pop. All these movie or filmaker mode settings. Look bad to my eyes
I have to admit that your settings are dope. The picture quality changed from above-average to OMG this looks so beautiful 🤩 I can finally fully enjoy my new TV. Thanks a lot for your effort.
Game really helped tone down the reds especially and bright greens. Notice in hitman Colorado I see the beams of lights from the sun displaying in more places and colors which is cool!
Third step is how black should be black. Set it on 0 clicks if you want to have shadows/dark corners as black as it is intended to be. Set it to 1 or 2 clicks if you play games where someone might hide in shadows (e.g. in some multiplayer). Then black corners are slightly lightened up which might be kind of dark grey then.
Just picked one of these up from PC Richard and Son from Enfield. It replaced a 3 year old 65” C1 and so far I’m impressed. Appreciate the video man! Paid $1699.94 out the door for a 65” which seemed like a solid deal
For 77 s90c with newest Apple TV 4K, how should my settings be set on the video on the Apple TV? I am seeing conflicting info on ycbcr vs RBG High and don’t seem to understand the difference or what’s best for the 77 oled
@@karlos5885 LG fanboys imo, they really don’t like the colour saturation out of the 📦. However you can easily turn the saturation down to your own preference.
C3 less bright, worse remote, higher input lag (I think). But it has Dolby Vision, better low quality content upscaling, more stable apps (No Tizen rubbish) and consistent panels. The Samsung is often significantly cheaper but if you can find the LG at a comparable price point it'd be my choice
Awesome!! Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!! I've used ur settings for Hisense U8H, and those were amazing. Just bought a 65-inch S90C for $899.99. It is my first OLED and the picture quality is just amazing. I was using Hisense U8H, which is also another awesome tv, still have it. This S90c was just such a good price that I couldn't miss it. Thank you for your review and settings!
I tried this out for PS5, too warm and dark for me. I reset the picture and turned off the TV HDR and changed to BT 2020 and have game motion on level 2 and turned on my PS5 HDR. Seems pretty good and fixes the orange and red saturation I was getting in some games like fallout 4 during certain weather patterns that are applied with mods. Still worth trying out and good information, thank you sir. Might try turning HDR back on with warm off and see how that looks maybe
Just tried out these settings myself and maybe it's just that I'm used to the other settings but I'm with you. Looks way too warm overall and dark. I did pretty much all of these settings but turned the color to standard and the contrast enhancer to low.
In 12:40 you say that if you have 55 or 65 inch version, you should count up 17 clicks, and if you have 77 inch version, you should count up 18. If I have a 65 inch 2nd gen panel (ANA_PEAK = 512), should I use 18 clicks as well?
I have an S95B. These settings verbatim didn't look good on my TV but when I used your color space settings in combination with what I was using before, it looks miles better than the oversaturated look that I'm accustomed to.

Classy, if you make the settings identical, brightness, color, motion, clarity, gamma, all and everyone of them, in 2 different picture modes, say Standard and Custom, would the resulting pictures look different and why?? Thanks
If viewing HDR10+ content, shouldn’t one set HDR tone mapping to active for night mode, to get the best fidelity from HDR10+? Then keep it passive if regular HDR10?
Hey classy, quick question about game hdr basic. I know that the s95c clips at 20 clicks (or 2000 nits) and 17/18 clicks (1300/1500 nits) for the s90c. What do i do if a game doesnt support the system hdr calibration? Cap it in my case with my s95c to 1300/1500 nits via the in game slider( so basically copying the rtings peak brighness level). Or do i just mimick the system side clipping point i.e. 2000 nits? Pretty new to oled so this would really help me out
Would you say the NIGHT MODE is the more technically accurate image setting?

Suer easy easy to switch it from hdr to sdr in settings. It’s the best streamer made, best codecs no surprise it’s his go to day to day streaming device.
Hi mate when you said you flipped over to HDR mode and then made further adjustments, how did you actually do that? I didn't see you click / do anything on screen to go and indicate you were now in HDR mode relative settings?
Hello Classy 😊 I wondered if you know which firmware S90C comes with om newer tvs? Happily used my S95B for over 13000 hours before Moving country and looking for another doled and reading yet again about firmware issues, live in Brazil so exchange not same as Norway. You think its safer go with S90D? I am looking for the 65” btw, worst case a 55 but hard downgrade too a size I used 9 years ago. First time I been out of the tv world this year since 2015 because of private life and things needed to sort for the move. I know its a old video so don’t expect a reply but would love to hear what you think, Thanks and hope all is well 😊
Are there any difference to picture settings for gaming when the input is set to PC instead of Console? I believe I read with the input set to PC sharpness should be increased to 10? Should anything else be changed?
So thankful you were able to do this video. Question, I recall the 95c “fidelity and overscan” settings being 12 bit color depth. In this vid you kept it to 10 bit. Is that intentional for 90c? Curious why not 12 or higher for xBox.
@@ClassyTechCalibrationss90c and s89c should be 48Gbps (even though marketing claims 40Gbps for s89c) with s95c being limited to 40Gbps because of the one connect box. Although some say it tested at 48 before firmware 1212. Both Xbox and ps5 aren’t capable of 4L12 so that sucks. If your tv displays 8 bit poorly in sdr you could select higher and let your tv “upscale” it in essence. It might produce a better picture.
Sir I have a question🙋♂️,.. are apps such as Netflix play superb within the TV itself? or run by Roku or Xbox X for example, wich one you'd recommend?
@classytechcalibrations I tried your PS5 HDR settings, and on the Adjust HDR 1/3 and 2/3 screen, going 18 clicks makes the logo super dark? Also on the Adjust HDR 3/3 screen, you can only go up 15 clicks total before it runs out?
Another question, I have the 65 gen 2 and in the ps5 calibration it clips at 17 clicks when it s all white, should i do 18 clicks anyway like 77 model?
this video should be linked in the manuel from samsung!!! holy moly absolutely fire!! great job explaining! yes it‘s fast but guys take it step by step you won‘t be dissapointed!!!
Fantastic video. My SDR looks richer and the ridiculous over saturation in HDR mode is gone: the picture looks vibrant without looking fake. Any recommendations for color space settings in SDR mode? Do you just leave it at auto? I noticed the native or normal modes look a little more punchy. Do you recommend any custom numbers for color space in SDR?
Hey Classy, is there a way to save the SDR settings and HDR settings at the same time for Filmaker and Movie modes? Or we have to change the settings each time we switch? Also, the Movie mode is dimmer than the Filmaker one on my S90C and I have the Power saving modes turned off on both :(
Why not original for hdr while gaming? Is the pseudo hgig really worth it over better eotf? Does the 4000 bit tone curve really matter when there’s tone mapping anyway? I’ll do some pic comparisons myself to see which preserves the highlight detail the most but I suspect it’ll be original as standard starts clipping too on the curve (aiming for a couple hundred nits above tv reference brightness).
Do you use HDR original with static tonemapping? How do you like specular highlights? They say they are pretty dull with this setting. I use original preset in SDR and I find that input lag is lower. And I would like to try HDR original but may be I'm using wrong settings - the picture seems a little bit off. Could you share your settings please?
Got the Samsung S90d last week. Afraid to update it. Is it true samsung nerfs brightness with updates? Have you noticed a difference in them from when you first used them until now, after a few updates? Thanks in advance.
I currently have a Q90T bought in 2021 and I use the TV largely for stream from Apple TV 4K and playing from PS5. I have a full Sonos audio system 7.1.4 and unfortunately Samsung audio passthrough causes drop outs every 20mins. Would you recommend S90C for this usage or rather an LG C3 or G3 or Sony A80L? The A95L is just too expensive for me. Thank you
Thanks a ton for this video! For the 77" model (2nd gen panel) would you recommend to follow this guide or the S95c one? Especially in regards to the BT2020 color adjustments.
@@Brytech1216 thank you. Which video are you referring to? I've seen the video where the BT2020 adjustments are covered and I don't remember to have my question addressed there.
i have the 77 in s90 also just bought at costco, question do any of you guys have a problem with judder? like soap opera effect? if so how can i get it to stop doing that LoL for some reason my streaming does not seem as sharp! lmk because i really do not want to return
Hello Classy or someone who could help. If i set Rec.2020 and content will be mastered only in DCPI-3 will it be worse than set this colorspace to auto? Rec.2020 should have all the colors DCPI-3 has and more. These settings that are posted make colours more realistic according to measures? Thank you.
I saw HDR and SDR settings in the video. A question: does HRD mean only the hdr10+ content? If that's the case, for normal HD TV series, do I use SD or HD settings?
Did not like that Samsung requires all my private info and an account to set up the tv. When did that Bs start? I did not set it up for that reason. That’s my only major disappointment with this TV. I can’t even update the firmware without an account.
Do you have any specific recommendations for screen cleaner solutions? Apparently, QD-OLED screens can be difficult to clean (i.e., smudging when attempting to wipe any spots of residue) with only distilled water.
i know little about this, but i have a couple questions. 1. i run movies and stuff from my pc which apparently has 4:4:4 color or something. will a movie that i stream from my pc look worse, than if i just streamed it through the tv itself, or will it be just the same? 2. when using my pc and pc only, i am unable to use filmmaker mode. the regular options are replaced only by entertainment/graphic modes. can i make it in any way possible so i can use filmmaker mode? the only thing i figured out that works is setting the refresh rate to 24hz, and then i can use filmmaker mode, but that is not suitable to use for pc use.
I was going to ask the same thing, I only use my S90C as a gaming desktop monitor and the only HDR modes available are graphic and entertainment. I'm assuming that these settings wouldn't have the intended effect with those modes. Of the two, I choose to use graphic mode as it appears more neutral/correct in colouring. I did switch to bt.2020 though assuming that I get a larger colour space but I dont know if the detailed settings would have the same effect.
Hi Classy. Thank you for the very detailed review. Should I keep both the blur and judder reduction on 0? If I increase blur reduction would I not see more details in motion? Thank you. Peter
I just bought the S90C and to be truthful with you I like the standard setting the best. I don't care for movie or filmmaker mode. Those settings are way too dim.
I got my 77 s90c a few weeks back, I don’t know if I got lucky with the panel but the windows HDR calibration tool sets me to about 1590 nits until I can see the pattern disappear, also, on the ps5 calibration tool I have to go up 19 clicks until the sun disappears, aren’t those measurements above average for this tv model?
I just got this bad boy 65" for 999$ with 5y warranty total 1300$ , beautiful color and picture, still love my c1 48 for gaming but qd oled is the next gen lmaooo
@@TheMasterTMTheMaster1507 I didn't, not definitively. I kept it on 1310 firmware and disabled updates in the end. As I've read in numerous places that the 1410 firmware exhibits stuttering in some content. Very happy with it as is.
@@N1337w thanks for the answer ! I really can’t decide between the S90C in 65inch or the LG C3 65inch since they are the same price in Germany on Amazon… I watched so many reviews and both have some pros and cons
When you show color settings for BT2020 at the top of the screen, i have no idea what im supposed to do! Each RGB only has one number. You list 3 settings per RGB. Can you help me interpret how to set these? Thanks.
I must have missed this but do I turn peak brightness off or on med or high for HDR? Also, do I apply settings to current source, or all sources when applying presets? Thanks in advance.

Yo, I just bought the s90c partially because of what you said when answering my question earlier. Looking forward to setting it up. Thanks again
What about the third step for adjusting PS5 HDR? You can only go 15 clicks up or down total on that one
Third step is how black should be black. Set it on 0 clicks if you want to have shadows/dark corners as black as it is intended to be. Set it to 1 or 2 clicks if you play games where someone might hide in shadows (e.g. in some multiplayer). Then black corners are slightly lightened up which might be kind of dark grey then.

Happily used my S95B for over 13000 hours before Moving country and looking for another doled and reading yet again about firmware issues, live in Brazil so exchange not same as Norway.
You think its safer go with S90D? I am looking for the 65” btw, worst case a 55 but hard downgrade too a size I used 9 years ago.
First time I been out of the tv world this year since 2015 because of private life and things needed to sort for the move.
I know its a old video so don’t expect a reply but would love to hear what you think,
Thanks and hope all is well 😊
I'm in doubt if I use these settings or the settings from the avs forum...
Are there any difference to picture settings for gaming when the input is set to PC instead of Console? I believe I read with the input set to PC sharpness should be increased to 10? Should anything else be changed?
seconding this question @classy
Also curious because the filmmaker mode isnt available on PC mode.
So thankful you were able to do this video. Question, I recall the 95c “fidelity and overscan” settings being 12 bit color depth. In this vid you kept it to 10 bit. Is that intentional for 90c? Curious why not 12 or higher for xBox.
It'll automatically change to 10bit regardless, and being 40gbps couldn't do 12bit at 120hz anyway.
@@ClassyTechCalibrationss90c and s89c should be 48Gbps (even though marketing claims 40Gbps for s89c) with s95c being limited to 40Gbps because of the one connect box. Although some say it tested at 48 before firmware 1212. Both Xbox and ps5 aren’t capable of 4L12 so that sucks. If your tv displays 8 bit poorly in sdr you could select higher and let your tv “upscale” it in essence. It might produce a better picture.
Sir I have a question🙋♂️,.. are apps such as Netflix play superb within the TV itself? or run by Roku or Xbox X for example, wich one you'd recommend?
Wondering the same thing
Can these settings be applied to the S90D?
Are this settings good for modded s90c to s95c?
@classytechcalibrations I tried your PS5 HDR settings, and on the Adjust HDR 1/3 and 2/3 screen, going 18 clicks makes the logo super dark? Also on the Adjust HDR 3/3 screen, you can only go up 15 clicks total before it runs out?
What is your opinion on using a fire stick to stream content instead of the TV apps? Which is better?
Fire stick/cube or AppleTV is better to use.
Another question, I have the 65 gen 2 and in the ps5 calibration it clips at 17 clicks when it s all white, should i do 18 clicks anyway like 77 model?
You can do 17 if it's clipping then.
this video should be linked in the manuel from samsung!!! holy moly absolutely fire!! great job explaining! yes it‘s fast but guys take it step by step you won‘t be dissapointed!!!
Fantastic video. My SDR looks richer and the ridiculous over saturation in HDR mode is gone: the picture looks vibrant without looking fake. Any recommendations for color space settings in SDR mode? Do you just leave it at auto? I noticed the native or normal modes look a little more punchy. Do you recommend any custom numbers for color space in SDR?
Hey Classy, is there a way to save the SDR settings and HDR settings at the same time for Filmaker and Movie modes? Or we have to change the settings each time we switch? Also, the Movie mode is dimmer than the Filmaker one on my S90C and I have the Power saving modes turned off on both :(
For sdr you need to be watching sdr content and hdr content for hdr and it will save automatically
Why not original for hdr while gaming? Is the pseudo hgig really worth it over better eotf? Does the 4000 bit tone curve really matter when there’s tone mapping anyway? I’ll do some pic comparisons myself to see which preserves the highlight detail the most but I suspect it’ll be original as standard starts clipping too on the curve (aiming for a couple hundred nits above tv reference brightness).
Do you use HDR original with static tonemapping? How do you like specular highlights? They say they are pretty dull with this setting. I use original preset in SDR and I find that input lag is lower. And I would like to try HDR original but may be I'm using wrong settings - the picture seems a little bit off. Could you share your settings please?
Any recommendations for the colour space settings for SDR gaming?
Just leave it in auto and use original game mode preset.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations thank you for the fast response! Have a great evening!
Hi! Is there any way I need to know how to calibrate HDR games that use original HDR settings?
Got the Samsung S90d last week. Afraid to update it. Is it true samsung nerfs brightness with updates? Have you noticed a difference in them from when you first used them until now, after a few updates? Thanks in advance.
I currently have a Q90T bought in 2021 and I use the TV largely for stream from Apple TV 4K and playing from PS5. I have a full Sonos audio system 7.1.4 and unfortunately Samsung audio passthrough causes drop outs every 20mins. Would you recommend S90C for this usage or rather an LG C3 or G3 or Sony A80L? The A95L is just too expensive for me. Thank you
Thanks a ton for this video! For the 77" model (2nd gen panel) would you recommend to follow this guide or the S95c one? Especially in regards to the BT2020 color adjustments.
No follow the s90c he states this in his older video
@@Brytech1216 thank you. Which video are you referring to? I've seen the video where the BT2020 adjustments are covered and I don't remember to have my question addressed there.
@@ptdayton81 sorry I think he actually commented on that video and thats where I saw it. I have the 77 s90c as well
He mentions 1st gen panel or 2nd gen the same, software limited restricted
i have the 77 in s90 also just bought at costco, question do any of you guys have a problem with judder? like soap opera effect? if so how can i get it to stop doing that LoL for some reason my streaming does not seem as sharp! lmk because i really do not want to return
Do you have a calibration guide/optimal settings guide for the LG G3 yet? I haven't seen one.
I have since earlier in 2023
Is it the one that says complete settings guide/tips?
@@NorthShoreDrama yes
Bro thank you for the video but how do you go to HDR? I don’t understand that, I did everything until you said you go to HDR
You need to get HDR content my friend. Just open UA-cam and search for an HDR video so you can set the correct settings
Hello Classy or someone who could help. If i set Rec.2020 and content will be mastered only in DCPI-3 will it be worse than set this colorspace to auto? Rec.2020 should have all the colors DCPI-3 has and more. These settings that are posted make colours more realistic according to measures? Thank you.
I saw HDR and SDR settings in the video. A question:
does HRD mean only the hdr10+ content? If that's the case, for normal HD TV series, do I use SD or HD settings?
No hdr10+ is not used on gaming yet except one or two use cases and shouldn’t effect settings in movie/film mode.
Did not like that Samsung requires all my private info and an account to set up the tv. When did that Bs start? I did not set it up for that reason. That’s my only major disappointment with this TV. I can’t even update the firmware without an account.
Do you have any specific recommendations for screen cleaner solutions? Apparently, QD-OLED screens can be difficult to clean (i.e., smudging when attempting to wipe any spots of residue) with only distilled water.
2nd gen panels are much easier to clean. I used distilled water with a tiny drop of dawn in it and a high GSM microfiber towel.
Would custom by.2020 on normal filter in HDR be a good setting if you don’t want to use custom values?
i know little about this, but i have a couple questions.
1. i run movies and stuff from my pc which apparently has 4:4:4 color or something. will a movie that i stream from my pc look worse, than if i just streamed it through the tv itself, or will it be just the same?
2. when using my pc and pc only, i am unable to use filmmaker mode. the regular options are replaced only by entertainment/graphic modes. can i make it in any way possible so i can use filmmaker mode? the only thing i figured out that works is setting the refresh rate to 24hz, and then i can use filmmaker mode, but that is not suitable to use for pc use.
I was going to ask the same thing, I only use my S90C as a gaming desktop monitor and the only HDR modes available are graphic and entertainment. I'm assuming that these settings wouldn't have the intended effect with those modes. Of the two, I choose to use graphic mode as it appears more neutral/correct in colouring. I did switch to bt.2020 though assuming that I get a larger colour space but I dont know if the detailed settings would have the same effect.
Hi Classy. Thank you for the very detailed review. Should I keep both the blur and judder reduction on 0? If I increase blur reduction would I not see more details in motion? Thank you. Peter
I just bought the S90C and to be truthful with you I like the standard setting the best. I don't care for movie or filmmaker mode. Those settings are way too dim.
I got my 77 s90c a few weeks back, I don’t know if I got lucky with the panel but the windows HDR calibration tool sets me to about 1590 nits until I can see the pattern disappear, also, on the ps5 calibration tool I have to go up 19 clicks until the sun disappears, aren’t those measurements above average for this tv model?
That's because it's tone mapping and not clipping.
I just got this bad boy 65" for 999$ with 5y warranty total 1300$ , beautiful color and picture, still love my c1 48 for gaming but qd oled is the next gen lmaooo
Best settings on UA-cam. Thank you
This is very confusing I don’t get the red green and blue three different sets of numbers and letters for each individual color. ?
Does the same apply for the s95c? Thanks
Thanks for this great video! Do these settings still apply to the newer firmware?
did you find and answer or tried it yet?
@@TheMasterTMTheMaster1507 I didn't, not definitively. I kept it on 1310 firmware and disabled updates in the end. As I've read in numerous places that the 1410 firmware exhibits stuttering in some content. Very happy with it as is.
@@N1337w thanks for the answer ! I really can’t decide between the S90C in 65inch or the LG C3 65inch since they are the same price in Germany on Amazon… I watched so many reviews and both have some pros and cons
@@N1337wi updated to 1430 and i got the stutter in gamemode never had any stutter before updating
When you show color settings for BT2020 at the top of the screen, i have no idea what im supposed to do! Each RGB only has one number. You list 3 settings per RGB. Can you help me interpret how to set these? Thanks.
Question, just bought this tv and I have a relatively dark room, can I just use the dark settings for both sd and HD content?
It's ok I've set sdr and hdr up separately as well as gaming but only for dark room setup
Is this the settings for the 43/50 inch version or the bigger ones?
are these tips comparable to use on QN90D ?
I usually can’t stand warm 2 but with your HDR colour space settings I prefer it for movies and games in HDR now, thanks Classy
I'm missing the color space settings for yellow, cyan and magenta. Can you help? Many thanks
@@ecanor6386 haven’t added anything that’s not in the video
Great video Classy 👍🏽👍🏽
I must have missed this but do I turn peak brightness off or on med or high for HDR? Also, do I apply settings to current source, or all sources when applying presets? Thanks in advance.
I wonder if these settings apply to s90d now that it’s confirmed to basically be the same as s90c
It’s not same TVs, actually S95D made quite a leap rather than the typical a couple % gain. So better with new settings
Was this for the 77 inch s90c? Second gen panel? 50 is way too bright.
