Don't see the benefit of Samsung OLEDs when they don't support Dolby Vision. Especially when they're so much more expensive.

QD-OLED tv's have much brighter individual colors than a WOLED does because of it's pixel structure. Specific colors get hundreds of nits brighter than on a WOLED. Dolby Vision is nice to have, and it's ridiculous Samsung doesn't include it, but you can get the same panel tech in the Sony A95K with Dolby Vision. The Samsung OLEDs are actually priced cheaper the LG G2 line and have better performance overall.

This is a QD-OLED with a different pixel sub-structure... Overall, a much brighter OLED panel

Quote from SlickDeer507 :
This TV's HDR10 is better than Dolby Vision on 99% of other TVs. If it had DV, maybe it would look better, but it's already so good, there is very little room for improvement.
Came here to say this. I own a 65" LG CX, and I also took home the S95B for almost two months thanks to Best Buy TotalTech program's 60 day return window. HDR10 on the S95B is just as impactful as Dolby Vision on the LG CX. Depending on the content, there may be more detail at the extremes (i.e. shadow detail and specular highlight detail) in the DV implementation than the HDR10 version, but it's really difficult to notice unless you're going frame-by-frame with the displays side-by-side. It's not something that will be apparent in any real-world viewing scenarios.

In my opinion, the absence of Dolby Vision on the S95B is overblown. It may be a bigger issue in the future when more source material is graded to 10,000 nits and presented in 12-bit color depth (HDR10 is capped at 10-bit), but by that time we'll likely have new display panels with higher peak brightness and color depth capabilities.

My next TV will definitely be a QD-OLED. Dolby Vision is a nice-to-have feature, but the increased color luminance of QD-OLED is a more significant improvement over OLED than the step up from HDR10 to DV.

One thing I learned buying this TV, preordering at the original price of $3000 is, never buy a Samsung product at MSRP. Almost every product sells for half the original price in barely few months. Luckily I was able to return my original purchase and buy back at a price even more attractive than this.

It is a great TV at this price, except that the build quality is poor compared to others like LG and Sony because Samsung didn't reinforce the panel as much as other brands have done.

This is the lowest recorded list price, unless I'm missing something. Were you given additional money off via cancelling and being offered $50 to keep it (as some users have said in previous threads) or did you receive a $200 Samsung credit a few weeks back (that was the deal at the time)?

There was a bundle pricing with few other items like tablet, monitor etc. which brought the price down to little bellow $1600 for a day for the 65". It was in May.

Between Samsung's shady test settings and the fact they've only offered EDU/EPP discounts for (what feels like) forever, not a company I'd ever support. For those of you who only care about price- the smart play is to wait. Retailers have had unprecedented returns in the past 6 months and sales are well below expectations. This might be a record breaking discount year come November.

Should be interesting to see how Sony prices the A95K in the months to come.

Seconded.
I don't think there is just one way. Too many variations in panels, size etc. Plus, it's highly dependent on source, content. Having said that, ultimately the best remedy was doing a factory refresh TWICE! After that, it was vastly improved and then I adjust settings.
Pay attention to shadow detail, local dinming, color (native v auto,) and gamma setting (-1 was always best in mostly all sources).

Lastly, make sure ALL power savings is OFF, and don't use the intelligent setting!

2022 QN series have auto calibration with phones! Would love to hear if anyone has experienced it? If only Samsung could do a software update and introduce the feature to 2021 models.

This has been Samsung's way for a while. They've learned that when faced with a choice between two similar items, one priced 599.99 and one priced 699.99, most people will buy the 599.99 item. But if the 699.99 item goes on sale and is now 599.99, people are more likely to buy that one because they think they're getting a better product at the same price as the other. With that knowledge, Samsung has decided to over price their products at launch so that when they inevitably go on sale, they are far more attractive than the competition

I am NOT a videophile. I enjoy watching TV with. QUALITY picture.

For me, I don't care what the official black levels are etc. I only care by what I can see in the room I use it in.

Have both C1 and QN90, and BOTH are fantastic sets and IMO, equal picture quality overall.

My only gripe with QN90, and it was serious when I first got it, was how much tinkering and resets required to finally get it looking good. Plus it's menu take way too many steps to access (would be same on s95b!)

Besides that, qn90a 85inch, and C1 48" and G1 55" ALL satisfy me equally.

Perhaps when OLED is available at 80+" without costing double more, I'd consider it.

I don't game, I don't do blue ray. That's my use case.

Dolby vision v HDR 10 is merely marketing! But I do understand that feeling of just wanting DV so it doesn't nag.
Do you care to share the settings you use? I just got the QN90 today.

Evo OLED is standard OLED

Qd-OLED wins all day long...and I personally own Evo OLED( LG G1)

The TV in this thread is a better set to my eyes in every way

Quote from ilikemoneys :
Yep, burn in payout here too, granted, it was a display model originally. It's literally fundamentally impossible for it not to exist as a possibility because it is uneven subpixel degradation. Technically speaking, even with QD OLED, single color subpixel degradation can still lead to visible burn in if the algorithms don't adjust for the brightness shift. It's just a bad video linked by someone who isn't exactly well educated on the subject. No offense intended but one can't be that wrong and well informed at the same time. The real benefit of OLED as you have pointed out, made even more apparent by QD OLED, is in color detail, not to be confused with color gamut or color volume. Instead of having multiple pixels displaying close to, if not exactly the same color due to the limitations of a backlight, each individual pixel can actually display it's own gradation of color. This isn't something that can be reasonably measured for any review because of how labor intensive it is. However, the fact that so few reviewers bring it up all that often really shows how little most of them actually understand about the things they review.
I used to have a 65" E7. At 3 years old It had a little burn that was so slight and it had to be in a full red screen to see it. Even then it was tough to see
The Tv was still very watchable, but I thought since I had like 12 more months on the Geek Squad protection plan I would make a claim
This was during Covid. I emailed them pictures and they sent me a gift card for my full original purchase price. They did not come and pick up the E7 after they paid the claim
Because prices had fallen, since I originally bought the E7, I was able to buy a G1 and another 5 year warranty
Then I sold the broken E7 on CL for $450. So new TV with a 5 year warranty and money in pocket to spare

They should do trade ins for tv... I don't know what to do with my perfectly fine tv
Its very difficult to sell a TV you cant ship
You can try CL or facebook marketplace but be prepared for a lot of low ball and non serious offers

I am VERY tempted on this Samsung S95B...but the thought of trying to sell my LG G1 is just not something I find appealing
