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.

Anyone know if their educator discount applies to retired educators as well or only ones currently teaching?
As long as you have .edu email address, you should be good.

So what you're really saying is you've made up your mind as to why you won't purchase it and are thus heavily biased.

That's typical for any 30 day purchase with most companies. Amazon forces you to return and reorder. Hit up Samsung and they should price adjust.
FYI.. Samsung is a HARD 15 days from delivery date to price match. No exceptions! So if one has purchased this already, track the days and price. 16 days or later, you aren't getting the price match. You CAN get your two week return date extended a week easy though.

on paper its better its the next gen tech but its 1st Gen which will likely have bugs. I dont like it due issues with bent panels and just general problems. C2 is more evolved if price being same I would take C2.
If this guys experience with premature burn in is any indication, you might be onto something.

Seems to be backed up by a few people.

Got my 65 S95B for $1,400 due to Samsung bundle pricing mistake a few months ago ($1,000 after selling discounted laptop and tablet). Sold my 75 QN90A (which was a great TV also) as I didn't need it anymore the S95B is so awesome. First OLED tv and would never go back.

Does anyone know if we are able to purchase a BestBuy warranty when picking up the tv at BestBuy?
I don't believe you can. It's basically as if you were picking up from a warehouse, just that warehouse is a Best Buy.

(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Well, it'd be horribly burnt in, so it would actually be free by 2028.

Sorry for non deal related rant.... But as consumers...I can't help but feel that we've enabled manufactures to not give us a deal that includes durability as a criteria.

When I read comments in these threads of a TV maybe lasting 5 years or needing extended warranty....It's odd to me that as consumers.... durability has slipped as a priority to so many people and generations that we enable manufactures to progress towards the "you will own nothing and be happy", planned obsolescence and ever increasing inflation culture.

I remember a time where all tube TVs lasted 10 years easy, that was the expectation. And... Only remotes would fail.

Plasmas first introduced shorter lifespan because of burn in and power requirements where capacitors that were mounted improperly or cheap

Phones, computers, tvs and even cars are going towards this route of shortened lifespan and we only have ourselves to blame as we have emphasized consumerism and need to have "better technology" at higher frequency.
