I picked up my TV this morning and I have some advice based on my experience:

First - DO NOT UPDATE THE TV IF IT COMES WITH FIRMWARE 1098 OR 1211 INSTALLED. I would highly recommend avoiding the Wi-Fi setup all together to ensure this. If you do setup Wi-Fi (which you shouldn't because Tizen is an awful operating system in the first place), make sure to go into the setting immediately and ensure auto updates are off. YouTube has a lot of info on the firmware situation.

Second - You absolutely need a second (or third person) to help. Make sure you follow the unboxing instructions to the letter of the word. There are a lot of horror stories about people bending their units because of how thin the panel is, and the hoops you have to jump through to install the foot base. You absolutely need a flat and padded surface to lay the TV on. We used an inflatable mattress and a microfiber blanket.

Third - As an add-on comment, I highly recommend picking up an Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, or 4K Chromecast. Tizen UI is horrendous, slow, and has ads. Other than that, this TV is incredible for the price.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Aren't we already in a recession according to objective measures?
I think companies are unloading inventory across the board, in case there is a recession next year.
Nice! I'm still going to wait more since every month is dropping price little by little

Idk man I have this tv and it's amazing. I am on the latest update. But I am not sure who would even run this tv at max brightness 24/7??? That isn't something you do with OLEDs. Yeah so the price went down if you have Samsung employee discount but that's it. I had my little over a month now. I play only ps5 and have watched a couple movies. I don't have one thing of burn in on the tv. I don't baby it at all. If I'm playing a game… there have been times where I'll just go and make some food and come back. But in reality I know my hours probably don't add up to a lot. Yeah the software does suck, but comparing the colors on this Samsung to the LG it blows it away
I have two OLEDs, the B9 and the A80J. Lack of brightness is the biggest weakness of those two sets so for me, Samsung reducing the brightness of their QD-OLED is a big deal for me.

It's brighter than any previous oled

There is also qled tech which is very bright

Samsung reducing peak brightness on this set doesn't affect much because it was for hdr peaks. The normal viewing didn't take a hit.

For color accuracy, updating is the smartest thing to do. Anyone hanging out on previous firmwares is doing themselves a disservice.

If you're putting in this in an overly bright room the qled is the way to go. If you're able to control room brightness, this qd-oled is the best you can do

Isn't the Samsung brighter than both of those?

Bro I turned the brightness down because when playing at max brightness with 100% best contrast while playing Splatoon 3 the colors just fark with your eyes because it's so vivid. I'm used to a QLED (q90t - go google it) at max brightness but something about the contrast not being washed out with super bright colors were messing with me. I'm not sure if you saw the colors that Splatoon 3 uses but yeah eventually your eyes will get sick of the bright pinks and bright greens. I just couldn't do it anymore. I had it set to max for like two weeks after buying the tv, and just had to bring it down. I didn't bring it down to baby the TV at all. Do not think that.

I assure you the S95B with new software is still SIGNIFICANTLY brighter than your old set, or any OLED set really.
I ran it with the OLD software and the NEW software and in normal viewing, I can't really tell a difference. Besides, when you CALIBRATE the TV correctly (something you should do) you're not running it flare bright anyway... so it's all mental gymnastics.

I enjoyed OLED for 8 years and this is some next level [expletive].

I have a friend that is a hardcore techie and he says this TV is the most advance, phenomenal TV made right now in the < $5000 price range. The tech behind this OLED is the future, I'm just waiting for the > 65" to come out.

Grab you a G1 or G2 if you want a bright Oled with a beautiful picture, after some tweaking.

I haven't looked lately but im sure 85 inchs from 2021 can be found cheap.. Already bought a 75 inch 90A for 1400 6 months ago. The HDMI 2.1 ports is the pits though on it. I have to switch between PS5 and XBSX. Why they put only 1 HDMI 2.1 o. That top end TV is just plain dumb.

Buy a newish receiver that supports HDMI 2.1. Problem solved and you can start adding speakers for a much better experience. Costco has some deals and there's always BF.

Quote from shogen28 :
Your whole reply is hard to believe as the "same panel as Sony" comment had already been discussed and disproven.
Sanding did the manufacturing/supplying aspect of panels and has been for ages. If your comment was true Sony would not exist in this market, especially with today's standards.
It's fair to say that many will not care for much of the differences in the two TVs or brands when you're looking at spending so much more to have the Sony TV. It's definitely not worth the price difference to many people out there
"Sony is setting some pretty grand expectations with its 2022 TV lineup — led by the introduction of the world's first consumer QD-OLED TV. The company's current and well-regarded OLED sets use panels from LG Display that are tuned with Sony's own processing. But the new flagship Bravia XR A95K TV will include a QD-OLED (quantum dot organic light emitting diode) panel manufactured by none other than Samsung Display." - The Verge

Grab a automatic HDMI switcher.
