We bought and tested the 77-inch Samsung S89C, and it's the only model available. The S89C is a variant of the Samsung S90C OLED, with the only notable difference being that it uses feet instead of a stand. The S89C, also known as the Samsung S89CB in North America, performs the same.

The Samsung S89C OLED is an incredible OLED TV. It is a variant of the Samsung S90C OLED, but it uses feet instead of a stand.
From what I have seen online, if your main source of content are streaming sources like Netflix, in blind tests HDR10 has won vs DV. If you are watching Blu-Rays and you like DV then definitely get an LG or Sony.
Also, if you have mainly Blu-Rays keep in mind that there are ways to extract the DV metadata and convert that into HDR10+ with free open source tools. Not everyone wants to go through that hassle though.
For gaming, at least PC gaming, I'm sure someone will come up with mods that convert DV into HDR10 on the fly.

The TV looks fantastic and can't find any issues.
My experience was great, but it's just online purchase and delivery and installation. I did not have to talk to anyone and nothing went wrong.
I also got 15% discount on top of EPP pricing from support + referral. So there is nothing to complain about.
But again, new LED TVs, specially at normal usage, will be hard to get noticeable burn-in.
One proof of this is that Samsung used to offer 10 years of burn-in warranty for LED TVs. If they didn't get Burn-in at all like you mentioned why even offer that warranty.
OLEDs in the other hand are more more sensitive in this area and can get burn-in more easily.
As always, I might be wrong as I'm not an expert in this area.
