The initial yield rate when mass production started earlier in Fall of last year was 50% and they rapidly improved the yield rate to 85% which is much faster than LG which took them several years for their WOLED tvs. Not to mention the fact that Samsung Display only has one gen 8.5 line producing 30,000 substrates a month compared to LG display with 90k substrates a month. OLED tvs will get cheaper due to economies of scale, so we can see the price of QDOLED go even lower than the price of current WOLED if production capacity is increased.

We will most likely see Samsung Display announce by Q4 of this year or Q1 next year that they'll expand capacity to produce 60,000 substrates per month given that that they sold off their last lcd fab and need to transition to another display technology as soon as possible.

In the long run, if Samsung finishes their research for QNED and irons out all the kinks to enable mass production, we will see an even better display technology. The eventual evolution of qdoled is to replace the oled backlight with leds and it would be a qd-microled/nanoled display which is what QNED is. The equipment for QNED/QDOLED is similar except the expensive deposition machines for OLED are not necessary for QNED so the conversion of qdoled to qned wouldn't be difficult and QNED's launch price should theoretically be cheaper than qdoled. Of course this is likely a couple of years away from now happening the earliest by 2025 or 2026.

They didn't so much nerf the brightness as they improved accuracy. If all you care about is brightness and not picture quality, then buy an LED instead of OLED and set it to Vivid mode.

I can't think of anything less in the spirit of what this forum is all about than this comment.
I'd wager that all of us have the money for most of these things at their retail price, but we are here for the deals. We all know that a dollar saved feels better than a dollar earned. And so with that in mind, your comment makes little sense.

Quote from ryunohadouken :
No Dolby Vision
Normally I'd be like, "Who cares? Dolby Vision is just another gimmicky feature." But I did some research.

If you're like me and you buy a new TV every 7-10 years, this is something to consider. I expect that the next TV I buy (sometime this year most likely) will last me until the PlayStation 6 and Xbox One X Series Y Heterozygous Edition arrive, and Dolby Vision will likely matter a lot more.

If you're buying a new TV every 3-6 years, this shouldn't matter to you as much. Dolby Vision is more future-proofing than anything else, as few applications can actually utilize it to it's potential today.

Since I ordered it has dropped from 1839.99 -> 1724.99 ->1649.99.

I got it price adjusted to 1724.99 but took some time. Debating whether to go back in for the second price adjustment. I wonder if they are dropping the price more and more until they clear out the amount of TVs they need to? Crazy cause the TV came out this year.

I really hate that the only way to get a good deal on this TV is with an EPP/EDU account.
You should cancel them on social media for not being inclusive.

Was going to get a 65" Sony A80cj(costco) for $1300, but I think I'm going to go w/this S95B & wait to see how much this drops in price.

So you were able to get a price adjustment. I bought it at the 1725 price and Samsung Customer support would not do a price adjustment, rather they suggested I had to reject the first shipment when it arrives and reorder, which I did.

This is soooo tempting with the price drop, but holding out for 75" oled to replace my current 65" ks8000.

Such very new model and new tech. Wondering why they are slashing price this low. Any problem with this tv? Anyone knows?
This is a good year for mid to upper end consumer products due to overstock and tightening economic conditions. Everybody has been calling it for a couple months now and I've gotten some great deals on some electronics (TVs, speakers, etc.) in the past month or two. Furniture is another area to keep an eye on this year if you need.

Tried again on the lower price, but shot down again. They are seriously very firm on the 15 days from delivery when it comes to giving you the price difference. Thankfully store credit and cb made this lower for me, but brutal on the return/pm policy. They should be 30 days from delivery day.

On a side note, at least it updated to firmware 1303 so appears plenty bright and perhaps some of the bugs worked out.

I still have the ks8000 also. Still looks great with zero problems. Why would you want to buy another TV if yours is still fine?

I've got the 60" KS8000 and mine has a massive bloom in the lower left of the panel that shows up on any dark scene and in sports. I loved the TV and am sad to see it degrading quickly, but yea... It's time to get replaced. Especially when the TCL series 5 I bought recently has just as good of a picture.
