This very popular Best Buy exclusive QD-OLED has dropped another $100 and now it come with free installation as well.

YMMV...as it doesnt appear to be available in all markets.

There are also open box units available for lower prices and in varying conditions.

Alternatively Best Buy also has the S90C in a 77" for $1999 with a $100 gift card

Just came here to post this deal! It's now $100 cheaper then when I purchased this TV back on February 4th. My family has been enjoying this set. My wife has never really mentioned liking any new TV purchase I had made in the past, but with this TV, she immediately noticed how bright and vibrant the colors are and the picture quality. I recommend it, even without DV.
This is probably a good read for you...along with their summation about the specific panel versus the format importance

"Ultimately, the difference between the three formats isn't that important. The quality of the TV itself has a much bigger impact on HDR"
It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in this thread, but this S89C NOW also comes with a $100 Best Buy GC.
Edit: GC has now been added to thread description

Samsung quality is pretty awful in general, I would never buy a samsung tv without that 5 year warranty.

With the 5 year, this is pretty safe. Although costco has a better deal right now. Much cheaper, same TV.

I thought Costco doesn't cover burn in? Is that not true?

What's going on with the One Connect Box these days? I've had it for a couple years now with my 83" QN800A and has given me zero issues.

Consider yourself lucky, haha. Pretty much the performance isn't consistent across the board. Some people have zero issues with the One Connect Box where it'll drop the connection intermittently. My first S95C 65" constantly dropped the signal regardless of what device I was using. I was forced to use the longer Fiber Optic Cable because we mounted the TV. The audio kept dropping out with our Apple TV 4K. My 3090 gaming PC was unusable. My PS5 and XSX would intermittently drop out.

After a failed tech visit, Samsung offered to exchange the entire unit out. I accepted, and the replacement is much better. My gaming PC still drops out every so often. It's game dependent I guess, but it's annoying. I tried $300 worth of certified HDMI 2.1 cables, and each cable had issues with the One Connect Box.

I recently bought the S90C 83" so I wouldn't have to deal with the One Connect Box. The S95C will be my bedroom TV. Lastly, I briefly tried the QN900D 65" 8K to test 4K240. Same thing. The consoles worked fine, but my gaming PC kept dropping out. That makes it a no go for me.

I think if you're streaming content directly from the One Connect Box or an external streaming device, you should be fine. Gaming can be iffy so I always recommend a model without the One Connect Box. It's not worth the headache or the premium. I haven't heard of any reported One Connect Box Issues with the S95D, but I'm not interested in an OLED with a Matte anti reflective coating.

HDR is mostly a scam and Dolby Vision is a scam for idiots.

That said, I own an LG TV with DV which I never use because it does nothing, and I'm not all that impressed with Samsung's offerings.

Aah.... I do no gaming whatsoever and only streaming movies and TV shows. My Roku that I use sometimes have no issues either but I tend to use the on board Samsung apps so as you said, that's probably why I've had no issues.

I got this a couple months ago and the picture is amazing. My first OLED, its very thin and delicate - you gotta be careful lifting and mounting it. It also took all of the cargo space in my yukon to get home. It will sometimes slip into screen saver when I switch aps/inputs. The interface is so similar to fire stick, wife couldnt tell difference so we mostly just use the onboard apps. My solar remote had to be replaced already as it was dying needing usb charging almost daily so I had to use smart things on my phone. Really nice boob tube...

Yea, geeksquad covers burn in, costco doesn't, but realistically. The tv is obsolete before that happens, unless you go and abuse the tv.Big Grin

That doesn't tell us anything. Not all models would be good enough to show you any difference.

I have an a80j77 and I'm always disappointed when I have to watch things that aren't being streamed in hdr or DV, or when the game I play doesn't launch with hdr. Most content across the board is not hdr or DV.

It's as obvious as when things are only 1080p instead of 4k, or when they are low bitrate instead of high bitrate.

Is 4k a scam too in your world?

Sorry you are missing out.

Plenty of people own oleds and don't know what they are doing.

I'm watching a ~700mb Bluray 1080P HEVC rip of a 2006 Heroes S01 episode right now in MPC-HC with MadVR NGU Sharp VHQ on a Hybrid 3090 at ~115w and it looks just as good as a smart tv delivered Dolby Vision stream of a movie made in the last five years. And yes my TV is 4K with FALD, dialed in and finely tuned, probably better than most oleds in the wild with BS settings.

But hey, my PC cost twice as much as your TV so it's not really a fair comparison.

I bought this on 4/10. I opened a live chat and told them about the price drop since I bought it. They actually refunded me 212 dollars to price match the drop and the gift card. Super duper slick deal here.

I bought on 4/17 so I'm hoping they'll hook me up too.

That's quite the flex to be watching a pirated bluray rip of a TV series from 2006 in 1080p at a very low bitrate on a LED LG fed by a computer that costs twice as much as my OLED, and you have that tv so dialed in that you can't see any difference between that and much higher quality content.

I have a 4k LG LED from 2017 myself, I never watch it because I wouldn't be able to see any difference on that tv either, it's a turd, and that's what forced me to get a decent OLED so that I could see the difference.

I can't help but wonder which model your tv is, do you care to share?

It really doesn't matter what computer you are driving that tv with, you'd get the same video quality from my spare 5600g desktop that was $200 used from facebook marketplace. Also just FYI, if you are using a computer to stream anything it's never giving you dolby vision or HDR and often not giving you 4k on any streaming other than youtube or netflix. Computer output from almost all streaming services is heavily crippled to prevent piracy.

Good call! Low bandwidth devices such as streaming devices, cable boxes, Nintendo Switch and older consoles should be fine. The higher bandwidth items like the PS5, XSX, and newer gaming PC's require more bandwidth.

I'm glad it's working out for you. It's hard for me to recommend any Samsung device with a One Connect Box.

It's mostly due to the display being in demo mode where everything is cranked to the max. It's possible that sharpness is cranked as well. You won't really know how a display truly performs until you have it in your home.

https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/h...lby-vision



"Ultimately, the difference between the three formats isn't that important. The quality of the TV itself has a much bigger impact on HDR"

To be fair this is being taken out of context.

The context was HDR10 content vs Dolby Vision. I wholeheartedly agree if you have two TV's where each have access to the same content with the only differentiator being HDR vs DV, there will be almost no difference.

That's what your quote is saying.

**This is not the same as saying that a television where Dolby Vision is the ONLY OPTION will look similar to one where there is no HDR option which is compatible with the television set.**

So this brings people back to the fact that many streaming services such as Netflix are *only* providing Dolby Vision as their HDR format, not HDR10. This will create a difference, especially in things like shadow crushing which is really visible with the infinite contrast ratio of OLED displays. In things like shadow data, you can really put the panel and the extra dynamic range to work.

Make your choice whether this matters or not, but there's a bunch of hand-wavy nonsense saying "It DoEsNt mAtTer". That'd be correct if all services offered both, but that's not the world we find ourselves in.

I bring this up so people aren't misled. It's up to you to decide if it matters enough or not. Samsung would be smart to allow it as an additional paid license, like how you can add Dolby Surround to Xbox with a $10 license. But I know they're invested and dug in on HDR10 so they would never.
