EDIT EDIT EDIT This appears to be gen 2 QD as now a screenshot of the service has been posted. Below is old info.
EDIT EDIT: This TV is a mystery. We only know for sure the original press release said WOLED by LG, then when it hit shelves, "Quantum" was quietly added to the item description. No independent testing has been done yet, but Rtings got one delivered Dec 7. No official word from Samsung on what panel it is (chat reps don't count).
My theory (speculation) is these are previously never released 77" Gen 1 panels. Why?
1) Uses a bit more power per specs than an S90C (Gen 1 was less efficient than Gen 2)
2) Only comes in 77" size (the only size never released during Gen 1 fabrication)
3) Probably low production numbers since it's only sold at Best Buy (Gen 1 had low yield issues which Samsung cited as the reason for no 77" QD TVs at first.)
4) They named it S89C implying it's somehow inferior to the S90C in the same way the S90C is to the S95C.
5) It doesn't makes sense to basically sell a S90C under a new name if it's wasn't somehow different to justify the different model number.
Before i get another comment about "Samsung never made a 77" gen 1" no, they never *released* a 77" gen 1. There's a very important distinction there.
Again, one more time this is QD-OLED! Not WOLED!
I own this TV, the guy quoting months old articles that are talking about the EU version does not. Again, in EU it was WOLED, in NA it is QD-OLED.
Here is the Canadian spec sheet, which shows it is QD-OLED. https://www.samsung.com/ca/tvs/ol...s89cbfxzc/
Somewhere in between? Maybe these are underperforming gen 2 panels? Thats extremely likely given this finding.
No wait 512 is 65" It should be 588. Gen 2 confirmed. Buy away lads. Samsung was just drunk.

"But then we heard that Samsung is planning to launch a regular OLED panel in a different size, but with an all-new third model name, the Samsung S89C (or S85C)."
I'd grab this for sure if I wasn't waiting on a S90c for $1875 + $200 credit + 2 yr Samsung Care+.
Still tempted to switch due to delayed shipping.

Not saying you are wrong, but it would be one massive risk for new buyers since all published media is saying its WOLED. For all we know Samsung made a batch of these with their own QD panels just to meet the launch date because the shipment of panels from LG was running late.
That said, i got the 77" S90C for $1800 with free 2 year care in October, so not even sure why we are arguing about this (bad) deal that is a risk due to mixed information.

This is directly from Samsung.com. same model # as Best Buy. I don't know what tell you. I'm sure a lot of reviews are from other countries, which has the woled in this model.

I can't imagine why Samsung made 2 TVs with the same panel, so i have to imagine something is different about it than the S90/95C.
Specs list it as drawing 22 watts more power than an S90C and 20 less watts S95C which might be a clue to it's panel specs. I wish someone with testing equipment can explain what this panel is.
