This tv is my first Oled, yes it's 100% QD-Oled gen 2 panel and the refresh rate is 144hz, not 120 as reported above. Lots of people will try to tell you not to buy because it's missing Dolby Vision or that the set is is WOLED or don't buy because it doesn't have DTS. If you decide not to buy because of any of those three factors, you will be missing out on an amazing deal.

To be fair, telling people to dismiss those differences as not beneficial, this is better and you're missing out is not correct either.

A deal is determined by each person individually based on wants & needs, not universally.

I got this last week and am super happy so far. My main holdup was Dolby Vision not being included. I will say I am annoyed at how many streaming services offer DV content, and when you pull up such material on this TV, it even skips regular HDR and goes right down to SDR for some reason (as if DV is the only HDR encoding the material comes with, or perhaps when DV compatibility isn't detected it assumes no HDR capability at all). I am looking for ways to fix this. It may be an Apple TV issue, as I haven't checked the behavior of the built-in apps yet. Apple TV+ content and other HDR10+ stuff looks absolutely pristine. Even quality SDR 1080p content looks stellar. Lower bit rate stuff does suffer a bit (e.g. 720p source broadcasts like some on youtubeTV). Classy Tech put out a video a few months ago about calibrating the S90C and S95C for BT.2020 colors. Since I did the service menu tweak I followed the S95C and it does look incredible, slightly better than his S90C settings.

All told, this is the top panel on the market right now, for a pretty amazing price. Hard not to recommend. Get one!

Quote from RepFree83 :
You're spamming this thread with false info, I say this as some one with 2 lg worlds, and one QD-oled. The QD-oled is far better at producing color that is never washed out, the current benefit of LG appears to be panel longevity (potentially a much lower chance of burn in - which may be insignificant since 77" Samsung panels are second gen)

To be fair "QD-oled is far better" is doing the same.
They are far more similar than apart!
Having seen both calibrated, imo the LG processed the colors better than Samsung.

I can't figure out a good source for material on this TV. Using Paramount + on the TV's os to watch a movie didn't seem to have the best quality. I saw parts of the picture move as if it was rippling thru water. Is there some processing I need to disable? My other source is a 4k fire stick. Watching Xfinity stream is very low quality, but I suspect they are using very high compression. I might try using Paramount thru the fire stick to see if it's any better, but why would it be better than the native app??

Is it even worth having a high quality tv if all my sources stink??

How can I improve this?

TBH no not really, a display isn't going to fix inferior content.
Disc content is still the best source content especially on the audio side.

Streaming service are getting worse and worse unless you pay for the highest tier... for paramount plus, that means you need to have the showtime tier to get the best quality. Disney+ has 4k/HDR still on their ad supported tier... I've calibrated my tv to make SDR content still look pretty great but watching the Marvels on D+ was on another level.

Thanks all... Just logged in to Netflix on the tv native app, and immediately got hit with a nag screen to pay $7.50 more a month for 4k content...

So I'll just try to tweak the upscaling to get the best image and wait for streaming services to catch up...

Quote from wbs3333 :
I suspect Samsung will block the S95C tweak in a future firmware, so make sure to keep the TV offline to avoid automatic firmware updates. I'm tempted to try it myself but kind of concern it might play against me if I end up needing to make a warranty claim.

Is the difference worth it?
Good point, I always keep my TVs offline and use an Apple TV for everything.

I may be taking a gamble on the warranty issue, but to each his own. I'll swap it back before updating firmware or doing a warranty claim. I think the brightness is worth it since it's in my living room with huge windows and I do a lot of daytime sports viewing (it raises ABL level too, not just peak). If you have this TV in a light-controlled room, or only watch at night, no, I would say the mod probably isn't worth it.

Silly question - I was looking at guides to enter the hidden menu online and it seems like you need a remote with numbers on it, but the remote that comes with the TV does not have any buttons. Did you buy a different remote or did you find a way to enter the menu with the stock TV remote?
Yeah like someone else mentioned the remote in the app works fine for this. Technically I did the numbers on the app and the mute/volume up stuff on the physical remote, no problem.

Ha! Yeah…idk. I'm not a hater and have ZERO brand loyalty as well. I have an LG C2 77" and saw this deal and some reviews on the QD-OLED performs better than the panel on the C2 so I was excited and bought this tv.

And everyone seems to love the picture quality on this TV…except me. And I wish I did love it. My LGc2 just looks perfectly clear and crisp. Whereas this TV just looks like a projector that is slightly out of focus. I then tried the rting.com calibration settings but it didn't change much for me.

If anyone has any advice on what I'm doing wrong or a setting I can change….please LMK!!!
How close are you sitting? I think due to the QD-OLED pixel structure, the fringing effect (green on top, magenta on bottom) can play with my brain to make certain objects look slightly hazy if I'm sitting too close. This is equivalent to how LG's OLED can make text look like it has a shadow sometimes. But at normal distance, I can't notice either.

Also, and this may sound silly, but this is the first TV I've ever seen with absolutely zero DSE as far as I can tell. Objects against a perfectly even background can tend to look unnaturally floaty or almost like they have a halo, because our brain has no frame of reference to pull from the background. Even a little DSE, or other patterns in the background, help our brain anchor things like focus and location for objects.

These are just guesses to help explain what you might be seeing (unless you actually got a bad set), but they are actual things I've noticed on my TV so far, mostly when looking at setup menus or calibration screens, etc. Any time I play actual content, all of these issues go away and I'm floored at the actual picture quality.

Thanks for the feedback. Just keep in mind that the S95C mod gets logged. So even if you revert back there is a risk that if you make a warranty claim they might look at the log and deny the claim. Usually for warranty claims they first send a tech to try to fix it and if he says that the TV can't be fixed they send you a replacement TV. In other words, it would depend on that tech if he is curious enough to look under the TV log.
