An 83 inch is about 16% bigger than a 77 inch mathematically speaking. About 5 inches wider and 2.75 inches taller. I was initially going to get an 83 inch but the combination of $$ saving plus getting a nicer screen pushed me to the 77 inch. Really to each their own though.
Only thing that sucks about this is that my non-paid BB account would not price protect/Price match to $1799. I paid $1999. I still love the TV but anyways to get $200 back from BB?
Read on several sites that out of the box the settings on the S89C are significantly poorer than the S90C or greater model. Not knowing what I purchased, other than following the suggestions of others here that it was a quality TV at around the 2k mark, I pulled the trigger since our old tv stopped working. So my questions, does anyone have any direct links to sites or direction they can share that relate to configuring the picture for best results. I was referred to the 'settings' that Rtings used when testing the TV and to be honest, dont think they are better than the presets. Simply said, trying to ensure I have generally the most appropriate settings configured for best image quality...
Curious if anyone has found any modifications that improve picture quality. TIA
We waited for the Proper Mounting Kit and Screws to arrive (pay attention to screw length if your going to mount) and used the legs/stands... now now want to wall mount it but the size of the tv coupled with how thin it is leaves us nervous to apply any pressure...
Thanks in advance!
So, here's an explanation.
Video files are broken up into color, chroma, and luma, brightness pixel values.
For 4K video files (broadcast, streaming, bluray), the Luma is 3840x2160 size, Chroma is 1920x1080. This is known as 4:2:0 encoding, it saves a little bit of storage space, because the human eye is not very sensitive to high frequency color information, whereas it's very sensitive to the Luma, high frequency brightness information.
DOLBY VISION, assuming Full-Enhancement-Layer, is an extra layer of 1920x1080 parity information which is typically only used to retain more gradation on peak-specular-highlights, very bright pixel values. So, in a middle to darker scene, there's 0% dolby vision, it's not there, the dolby vision layer has 0 information in that scene.
Dolby vision Minimum-Enhancement-Layer (most streaming DV content), is just a tiny text file that tells the TV the brightness of the frames for tone-mapping purposes, there's no enhanced visual video information at all.
In either case, the parity file is completely 100% USELESS, from the consumer point of view.
That extra layer (typically) is set to hundreds of nits+, so it only affects peak highlights. When your eye views very bright highlights, it is not sensitive to such small texture differences. If you pause the scene walk up with your nose touching the screen, and squint really hard, wait for your retina to adjust, you might see a tiny bit of extra fluffiness, but at a distance, while the image is moving, YOU WILL NOT SEE IT.
So, for all practical purposes, if you truly want to Experience_Dolby_Vision. Sit 1 inch away from your TV, and pause every scene with bright highlights, and stare at it for 30 seconds while paused.
Then they said, Samsung TVs has the best reflective coatings amongst all TVS.
Then Samsun joined OLED TV world, now they are all good with OLED Samsung TVs.
Now there is so much Dolby Vision content is there, they started throwing jumbo-mumbo to degrade Dolby Vision itself. It is their pattern.
Movie studios and ocntent makers are stupid to pay License to use DV. Huh

Oled vs LED is a different tech way different looks. One brighter other better contrast.
