Well the BB employees are wrong. S89C has a qd oled panel while c3 has a wrgb panel. Qd oled is much brighter and has more color volume
Got cold feet last time, jumped in now! Lets see what this OLED mumbo jumbo is all about!
if i had both for the price you got the amazon deal... id keep the C3. can't believe i missed that one

How big of a deal is the lack of Dolby vision support for watching movies, etc?
IDK.... about everybody else but I do not like DV. I wish that I could turn it off on my Sony.
It takes over the picture control... brightness is at max and also dims the overall picture !!

Quote from Crabs :
If you care that much about upscaling why not get an nvidia shield? Isn't it considered like the best at upscaling?
Because the content in question looks terrible at 4k no matter who/what is upscaling it--- even using my desktop PC as a source, which is a ton more powerful than a shield... recall my post was in reply to a comment specifically about if there's content worth watching that has issues upscaled to 4k.



Quote from xtp :
Oh come on Knightshade, that CGI looks bad on every tv. shake head

Not a fair complaint against any upscaling implementation. It only looks better when we go full retro CRT tv, 37 inch from 15 feet away. Ah, memory lane.

I mean, I've shown it (both shows in fact) to at least a half dozen people on both my 1080p plasma, and my 4k C3- and 100% of em (and myself) agree it looks a ton better on the plasma.

It's why I still have the plasma. (that and it's not like I'd get much for a 64" plasma at this point no matter how good it is).



But this is all getting pretty hilariously off topic- as I say was just addressing the point about if there's still content worth watching at below 1080p source resolution.

FWIW...I had the LG and swapped it out for the Samsung and we are much happier. The LG pic quality was similar but the Samsung is a bit better. The LG OS (webOS) is trash. Samsung is much easier and quicker to navigate.
Also, you CANNOT add ESPN+ because it isn't supported on webOS so you have to use a different method/device to get to ESPN+.

This was due to bad marketing and has been debunked. Samsung and independent reviewers have confirmed that the 89C has a QD-OLED panel.

If you read the first comment pinned by Digital Trends (Caleb), and the 33 replies within, it is confirmed that the S89C (US version) has a QD-OLED panel. Rtings' S89C review also cofirms it has a QD-OLED panel.

This always gets blown out of proportion, they are VERY comparable even rtings points this out.
https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/c...shold=0.10

Having compared both calibrated side by side you can't go wrong with either.
At this close price point DV is just a plus.

This whole how HDR is "implemented" is kinda silly, there's a lot of implementation that happens way before we ever view it.

The irony, here, how people believe how technically Samsung technology is better, as is dynamic HDR is to static HDR.
Yet that implementation with these displays gets overlooked.
LG/Sony have the edge on how content is "implemented" imo.

Yea that is not how AI upscaling works. What color to make a pixel is not being decided locally on your hardware. It is being decided on a server farm processing millions of images.Then after figuring out the best formula for upscaling, it transfers it to your local hardware to process, which requires minimal effort to run.

It doesn't matter if your hardware is more powerful than a shield. What matters is that your hardware hasn't been processing millions of images for years trying to figure out the best way to upscale images.

This is a really good wall mount. I have the same.

When I bought my Samsung tv, I bought the recommended tv mount from their website. When the guy came to install it, he told me that the Samsung mounts weren't very good. I ran out to Best Buy and bought this mount. It's a bit pricey but very very good.

I saw a similar mount at Costco as well for a lower price. I'd recommend that one also.

Just don't get a Samsung mount. Not worth it.

Which mount at Costco is similar?

Are you using the right tone curve to watch buffy nightshade ?

If you look at that youtube link from your first response about Buffy dvd vs Bluray comparison, that guy's Captured image is rendering a 2.4 pure gamma curve as is typical of modern tvs.

Older dvds/ blurays were color graded on CRTs, they have a gamma behavior more similar to SRGB 2.2 gamma tone curve which is elevated at the bottom which is very different from pure power 2.4.

OLDER tvs, plasma era were tuned for older content may look better for this reason.

You can see this demonstrably by using gamma correction on PC. The details instantly pop out. Whereas 2.4 pure crushes.
