Got C3s awhile back. They're ok. Not amazing. One of them is a defective with bad uniformity.

Hoping the S90Cs fair better. Reviews all seem to indicate the S90C is the superior panel.

Any tips on getting Best Buy to price match? They could not for me because it is a member deal (despite membership at BrandsMart being free).

Is there a way to get a best buy price match if you don't live near a Brandsmart?

Brandsmart is in their list of "qualified competitors" to price match. Just Google "price match best buy". Click on top result, then click on "qualified competitors" and you will see it there. I was just able to get a price match.

edit: Just want to add that this was an in-store purchase.

It definitely is. QD-OLED is the real deal. Samsung as a company is meh, sadly.

The 65 inches I heard is a lottery panel. You might get 1st gen or 2nd gen QD-OLED Panel.


I got the 77in version which has the 2nd gen panel and I can tell you that it is brighter and more colorful the the C3.

The C3 has a better video processing though and some people prefer the color science, video processing of LG.

I found that for high bitrate, high resolution sources of video the S90C was better for my liking than the C3.

Also be aware that the S90C doesn't have Dolby Vision which some people consider a deal breaker. In my experience the HDR10 (not even plus) looks as good or better than Dolby Vision C3 TV specifically because of the brighter panel and better colors that the S90C has.

For gaming I found the S90C to be better too than the C3, although some people are having drop-outs while in gaming mode.

For those looking to pricematch, another alternative to Best Buy might be Samsung.com.

Try chatting with a rep and asking if they can pricematch with Brandsmart.

Glad it worked for you. Did you talk to a Best Buy rep via phone or chat? If by chat, did you paste in the BrandsMart link for them?

The issue is that BB will probably try to add the BMUSA shipping prices (which are extreme) to most people's orders. How did you work around that?

I think one of the C3s I got were made with the newer C4 panels. Green tints on the screen periphery as reported by rtings. The other panel has a huge fuchsia area on white/grey content. There are several reddit threads with others who have the same problem. A qc issue.

Because of the better handling of sdr content, I would be keeping the C3s were it not for the above issues.

The s90c is discontinued. These panels are from the end on the manufacturing run. My thoughts are that they will be 2nd gen panels.

Short return window at best buy, so decision will have to be fast.

If there's issues with these too, I'll forego oled and get a miniled.

Had to stack a few discounts with a Samsung rep to get this down to 1250 a few months ago so this is a great deal!

I told the rep I was planning to pick up in store (even though I do not have a Brandsmart near me) so they matched the price before shipping.

The screen on this TV is a fingerprint magnet. Oils tend to stay there as blue streaks despite using Samsung's cleaning tips: distilled water and a clean lint-free microfiber cloth.

I had better luck with using 70% iso-alcohol and a lint-free microfiber cloth
