Great video! I appreciate the work you put in with this tv to help out users.
Talk about timing! I’m getting ready to start going through the settings on my new 77” S95C in just a few minutes! Thanks!
@@jarekzahary cost $4500 for 77 inch , cheapest is $2400 for 55 inch.
I got my 77 S95C for £2700 from Samsung UK through something called InsidersUK. Amazing deal

Thanks so much for this Classy. It’s really helpful. Regards from Adelaide Australia. Chris
Dude I just got mine yesterday coming from a LG cx 65 inch I got the S95C 77 this tv is crazy good major upgrade I'm loving the games on this thing
I’m thinking about going from a C9 65in to S90C 77in, what do you see the biggest difference? Colors? Vibrancy? Do you use for gaming or movies? Both?
@@joshuasavoy7443 not sure if you already bought or not, but I got the s95c for gamming and is a beast, s90 is almost the same the same but without the one connect box, I'm just curious how far you play from the tv 77' is a lot and if you play close it might ruin your eyes long term, I got 55' thought
Getting this TV delivered next week so will be using this video to get the picture modes set up. Thanks
Love these videos 😍
THANK YOU BROTHER!!
Best tv I got. Love S95C OLED 😊
This is the best tv out rn. Loving my experience
Same here. It’s been great
Do you think the S90C is close to S95C? Would I be missing much by getting the S90C instead?
@@suraj4020 I do think you’ll be missing out. The S95C is a great experience, and you won’t regret it. If you get the S90C you’ll always wonder what could have been.
@@suraj4020 Depends on the size. 77inch should be the same panel
@@NexGenTek Looking at 55 inch.
Thanks
Just picked up the s90c. Would love a video on that one as well 😊
Me too!!
their the same
S90C is the same. The only difference is the one connect box.
Thanks Classy!
Kudos in these very detailed videos!. I've a Samsung S90C 55" TV, would it make sense to use these S95C settings on it?
Thank you classy
Thank you so much for this.
At the beginning of the video you had Apple TV output to 4K SDR. Would you recommend this over 1080? Thanks
Thanks buddy
Do you recommend changing any colour setttings to tone down the red, which seems a little pushed?
Hey classy, thx for the video. Can you please send me a photo or text guide on Game mode settings for PS5? You were really quick in the case of PS5 and I didnt catch up. THX
Classy the motion settings on “custom” is also right for the qn90b?
Just followed this for the S90C and the two fully configured modes are very similar whereas your QN90C video is dramatically different focused on day vs night... Or am I missing something? The QN90C was great and love those settings!
Hey classy. Any updates to this video after the shoot-out? Did your opinion change for the use any of these settings?
@classytechcalibrations I have the 77”S90C on the way. Should I engage the HDR Optimizer on my Panasonic UB 9000 and set it to OLED (peak brightness 1000 nits)? Do I need to make any changes on the TV (such as Tone Mapping) if I engage the HDR Optimizer?
Really enjoying your videos Classy. The S95C looks the beast. Classy which tv out of the G3 and the S95C gives better whites?
same question about which car between BMW and Audi is better 😅
If you want "whiter" whites, then go with the G3. However, the S95C has higher color brightness.
@@sachaburki8535That's an easy one: BMW ;)
Hey Classy, great video as always. I just purchased a 77 S90C for 1999, would you mind to make a setting video for S90C?
Thanks for the great review.
1.Which tv has more depth and detailing.( i.e better processor)
2. Which tv has better low content upscaling.
I need you suggestion before buying one
Hey classy, I used these settings and your game mode settings for the s90c, do these settings translate well to the s90c as well? Thanks
Also wondering?
I have a question 😊 Do you recommend that everything be played in HDR? With the Fire TV Stick, I can force the movies to display as HDR even though the movie is only SDR. Do you recommend that SDR content should remain SDR content? Or does it have advantages to play an SDR film in forced HDR? Thank you 😊
And at minute 1:35 ... Did I understand that correctly? Should you activate the "Brightness Optimization" for Filmmaker Mode SDR? Because later when you set it up you don't say anything more about it. Or what exactly did you mean? 🤔 Something should only be activated in Filmmaker Mode SDR during minute 1:35, not sure if you meant "Brightness Optimization" in the Power and Energy Saving settings.
Classy have they fixed the hgig on s95c? If you set xbox hdr calibration at 2000 nits wouldnt that overbrighten everthing? Also which tv has better upscalling and motion?
4k 144hz seems to work fine in this video. When did the dropout start to happen on your set?
At 2:27 when you start talking about Sound Output, my receiver does not show up in the list. It only shows the TV Speaker/Optical/Bluetooth options. As a result when I go to the Expert Settings and set HDMI eArc Mode to Auto, the "Pass-Through" option for Digital Output Audio Format" is greyed out. I have a Yamaha RX-V583 7.2 receiver and when I initially setup the TV it just says "Hometheater" as a connected device in the device list, it didn't try to figure out what device I had. My receiver is setup to use AUDIO1 for the HDMI control and I have it set to AUDIO1. I have the receiver's HDMI ARC port plugged into the HDMI3 eARc on the TV. I did a cable test on the TV and ti reported no problems. I previously had a Sony TV and the ARC stuff worked flawlessly with this receiver.
I also feel like the colors between movie calibrated and filmmaker mode are entirely different when I switch between them on an hdr show. I can’t figure out why but they’re way off. So I turned intelligent mode back on and it seems fine.
Hey Classy just something I noticed. When hdmi connection is set to pc, pressing the settings button shows that tv is in HDR 10+ Game mode even though HDR10+ is turned off. When I set the hdmi connection as Game Console it shows as HDR 10 Game mode.
Hey classy, bought my s95c for an amazing price. 55 inch for 1750 euros (basically the same in dollars i guess if you convert it) if i exclude my warrenty and include the 150 euros cashback from samsung. And so far no issues with game mode ( ocb was made in july of 2023) *knocks on wood* . I have one question is the color space in HDR finally fixed? Or do you still need to do custom bt2020 (or native) for hdr
Nice video I’m kinda on the fence I got a 77in G3 that has a defective issue with sound going out until I unplug and kinda reset it I suppose. They are out of the G3 replacement but they have a s95c so I’m curious to what your opinion would be on this. Wait on a g3 until date unknown for a swap to s95c ? Which one do you think is truly better. I watch allot of tv , movies, and game for 3-4hrs a day. Thanks
LG's warranty is longer than Samsung's
@classytechcalibrations would you recommend the same settings for the s90c 77 Inches?? It should be delivered next week and have stared doing some research on settings, also ha e you tried the smart calibration using the Samsung app, do you know how good it is.?? I am wondering whether it would be enough or whether should still pay for calibration
From what I have seen most of the S90C settings are the same. Samsung smart cal doesn't work, don't bother.
What home cable do you recommend for 120144hrz?
I plan to buy a 65” S90C. Would it be suitable if I apply your S95C settings on S90C? Thank you.
Do you have good settings for the x90l? Or can i use the x90k settings
Do you have any idea of how to force the TV to interpret the input as HDR? If that was possible it would be possible to retrofit the S95C with DV for something like $30.
On my S95C (1310 firmware) Classy's "accurate" settings resulted in horribly crushed blacks in SDR and HDR and retina vaporizing brightness in HDR Night (Filmmaker Mode). Everything seems to be fixed by using Classy's settings but leaving Peak Brightness off in Night, Med in Day, reducing Brightness to 32, and cranking BT.1886 and Shadow Detail to max in all 4 modes. I also put Color at 34 in SDR and 37 HDR. I'm not thrilled that my best-in-class TV turned out to be a compromise in picture qualities.
Hey Classy. Long time fan here. I just noticed today that using your SDR settings for game mode the picture looks a bit saturated? When I switch to HDR mode in windows and windows then plays SDR content in an HDR container the saturation looks okay now. Any ideas?
Great video! Any idea how I can turn off all the energy saving warnings that I need to press OK on every time? As soon as I toggle between Filmmaker mode or Movie for example I get a window regarding power usage that I need to accept EVERY TIME...
From AVS forum (and be careful - Here be dragons!), you'll also need to be on tv not hdmi and be using the standard remote (apparently the phone app can also enter the necessary numbers) :
Press the following buttons on the remote to access the service menu.
Mute > 1 > 1 > 9 > OK > OK
Then.. to expand the options available, press
1 > 2 > 3 > 4
Then go to the following options
fms
fms
factory menu app
option
production option
setting.eu_energy_regulation
Change to Toggle OFF / Set to 0
Press back
Put the tv into standby then turn back on for setting to be set.
If you change stuff you shouldn't, you could very possibly brick the tv or fry the panel or something so Google stuff before you go exploring.
I'm using the Odyssy OLED G8 on DisplayPort for PC. game mode is on, and i'm wondering about the settings to use. For SD mode. The peak brightness is grayed out, and when using a black levels site like Logam i set the shadow details to +1 because i def can't see shade level 1 nor 2 on the 0 setting.
something that i find disturbing, is i can't seem to adjust the RGB range on DP cables. tv seems to be set to Full which is ok, but that'll cause a problem when i watch blueray movies right? which are mastered in RGB Limited.
anyway i use this for gaming, just wanting accurate colors and stuff. on the "what shades test" i feel like the tv is crushing shade 254, but no setting i mess with helps that.
note about the black levels comment: my house almost always has lights on, so it would be foolish to turn them off just for this calibration - right?
Hi there when I'm in live tv mode the picture is slightly blurry. Would this be a connectivity issue? Picture in apps are perfect. Thanks
Hi Classy. When calibrating HDR, do you recommend calibrating while the TV is set to BT2020 or P3? I think I saw you mentioning BT2020 is correct in a recent video, but I can't find it now. Hope you have the time to reply. Thanks.
BT2020
Hi, I have a question. I don't know how to set the image for individual outputs. How do I set Picture values for individual outputs, for example different values for Netflix, different values for antenna output, different values for game mode and so on.
Hi Classy tech, I see you also used the S95C with apple TV 4k, i noticed something, when you set the apple tv to HDR mode. You have two options for Chroma setting 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 , but when you set 4:2:2 the colours look quite different compared to chroma 4:2:0, what is the explanation for this phenomena? As i experience the colours of 4:2:0 setting is look closer to the in built player colours, however the menu of Apple tv looks clearer at 4:2:2 setting.
Thank you in advance!
So I’ve been messing with this quite a bit. I found that the OLED switch doesn’t seem to match original well. I went into a custom mode and feel like I matched it better but I’m so neurotic I can’t quite tell. Did you test this with a regular switch or an OLED switch? I feel like the colors are completely different from OLED switch to original picture mode.
Do you plan on doing the same for the S90C or are they about the same?
Any updates on the game mode blackouts?
In ur opinion which one better? Sony a90j 83' or Lg c2 77'? Movies/tv shows use
Hey Classy, when will you do a Complete Settings Guide for the Sony A80L?
Can these settings be used for S90C or should I use your settings for S95B?
If I remember correctly, in your comment on that famous shootout you said that setting s95c shadow detail to +1 was closer to reference monitor, and here you set it to -1. Can you clarify that part please? I'm a sucker for shadow details and would like to know.
What peak brightness you have set in cp2077 pc. It maxes out at 1500 nits.?
Hi Classy! Will all your videos be in HDR? Are you using DaVinci Resolve to make the HDR videos? Thank You !
Most will be. Settings videos dont need to be. No, I use Final Cut Pro.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations OK sounds great. Thank you very much!
@@jarekzahary Sony A7IV
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Great camera!
Can you show all the picture, sound settings and other settings on Panasonic MZ2000?
please make the s90c video
So please I'm so confused can you explain why HDTV TEST say on the Sony A90 J you need for th3 ps5 hdr setting for the first pages 24 clicks and the second 19 so why is it on the s95 c 20/20 clicks?
Hey Classy, would you say the Window11 HDR calibration app (which White Point goes up to 2800 nits on both screens and 0 black) is the exact same or similar as the Xbox HDR calibration screens?
Aside from the difference in how high it goes, yeah its the same.
Are these the best settings still after any firmware updates since this video came out?
when will there be a review of X95L. Thank you
Is brighting limiter aggrassive on this tv?
Everything looks over saturated for me when streaming HDR content in 4K with BT 2020 turned on, however, for example, Top Gun Maverick 4K Blu-ray looks incredible with BT 2020 on Samsung S 95C, definitely not oversaturated. Not sure why this is.
Hi classy which tv do you think has better picture quality overrall s95c or g3??
S95C
When will s90c gen 2 settings be uploaded please?
Hey classy software you using is Calman home for Samsung 2023 for measurements?
No, Calman Ultimate
What about best audio settings?
Does shadow detail change the black level?
Hi! The settings worked well in my s95c but I have an issue with subtitles in HDR + a dark room. They are insanely brigth and affect the experience. Any trick to make them less shiny? I've seen that some apps like disney plus allow you to change it , but most doesnt.
Same issue with me. Had to change subs to yellow in Disney +. Duno if there is a better fix
@@Philbyyyy the only solution I"ve found in apps like Amazon Prime was to use the smallest fonts.
Hey Classy, if I want to use BT.2020 anyway, which other settings should I change? Thanks in advance!
Color at 20. 18 for game mode.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Thank you.
Hi
Have you done a setting video for Samsung qn900b 75 inch .? Or can i use these settings for the qn900b 75 inch also.? I have a realy bright room.
No I haven't, but I'd guess they should be similar.
how did you get rid of the 4096 resolutions in the nvidia control panel ?
Classy, I have s90c. Any idea why presets don’t switch from sdr to hdr sources? If I set hdr to film maker it will stay on filmmaker when I go to sdr and vice versa. Hdr kicks on but preset remains the same from SDR. I’ve tried Apple TV and native apps, same problem.
Because there is SDR FMM and HDR FMM, and SDR movie and HDR movie. So it will stay in the same picture mode but will adjust between SDR and HDR.
In your S90C video you recommended changing setting to bt2020 but in this video you recommend leaving at S95C at P3. Do you still stand by that or should I just leave the S90C in P3 also?
This was before that video. I have another video about Samsung auto gamut not being broken with recommended CMS and color settings for bt2020.
Will this work for the S90C as well????
Anyone know if this TV can be set to have variable volume control for the TOSLINK out? If one were using a power amp that was wide open and using a D/A converter to the amp, is there a way to control the volume of that digital output with the TV remote? Or does such a scenario absolutely require a preamp/receiver?
Hi Classy, was just wondering about the shadow detail and gamma settings sliders. I have been watching sdr and hdr black level test videos on youtube and find with 0 and -1 set points that the test video black bars are totally black where it is not suppose to be. Are there any black crush issues with these tv's? I have a S90C 55inch
TH-cam videos usually aren't the correct levels. S90C has slight crushing at the very bottom end 9 ire and under.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations thank you for your feedback. I have no idea what IRE means but will do some research. I have been watching Friends on netflix in SDR and you if you watch someone wearing black clothes or have black hair the black is very crushed or has little to no detail. Maybe it is just the recording that was not as good back then. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa!
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Hi
Can i use yours settings in my S90C Gen 2 ANAPEAK 512 ? What brightness does this panel have to properly set the HDR sliders?
On your video calibrating be s90c
You recommended to use 2020, why on the s95c auto ??
Which peak brightness for sdr is the most accurate though?
Does this apply to the S90 also ?
I want to know too.
Can I use these settings on my S90C?
Hey classy, currently using a Panasonic UB420 with my Q90T. HDR tv type is super high luminance like the video. So with the s95C i should keep it the same,and Not use the OLED option? Thanks!
Yes though it won't matter if you disable the HDR optimizer (recommended).
Do you have SDR settings for the S95B?
I got a S90C and used your settings for it. I found that peak brigtness "off" for filmmaker at night was way too dark (in my very dark room) so I set to medium but I'm actually using your movie settings with peak brightness set to medium. So basically 50 brightness and medium peak brightness is what looks the best to me. The weird thing is that on ESPN and Bally's I'm getting a ton of pixelation and what I can only describe as screen tearing and I can't figure out why as I have the contract set to 38 and blur/judder are at 0.
that is what's confusing to me is I tried sdr night with peak brightness off and shadow detail -1 and it seems so dim and so bad in shadow detail. I have calibrated several other sets (woled and plasma) with an i1pro and i1d3 and put to 100 nits and they looked much brighter than this, so it doesn't seem right that this would be 150 nits and look so much duller than sets I calibrated to 100 nits. I am using a s90c, but it has the gen2 panel. So not sure what is up and why mine looks so off with these sdr night settings.
I have an S90C as well and have been underwhelmed by the brightness. I am coming from an KS8000 mini led tv and admittedly don't know exactly what brightness levels should look like in real life based on their nit level because never had any instruments. But there is no way that the recommended settings for this TV online result in an acceptable brightness level. I am wondering if this just OLED, or if my tv is defective. And the fact that you feel this way and have calibrated TVs before makes me think it is a possibility it is. Is there any way to test if my tv is performing as it should?@@dunktheball
@@shmoggy417 it looks like I accidentally had brightness optimization on, so I am hoping that was the main problem. I am soon going to try to calibrate it, but the only way to do it on this model, since I don't have the highest end meters, is to use "corrections" someone made and see how it does.
@@dunktheball Ah, the power and energy saving setting? I have that turned off and still don't think it is bright enough. Maybe I'll get used to to
If I set same the brightness, does movie mode is brighter than filmmaker mode？
Color tone warm2 makes tv picture yellow and dimm , do you know why ?
Hello classy tech, in ur opinion which tv would u recommend sony A90J 83’ for 4400$ or Lg C2 77’ for 3300? Bit confused, my usage should be 80% tv shows/ movies and 20% gaming! Little help
Neither. Buy a 77” s90c for $2600
How do you set it up with an amd graphic card?
How is the tv operating for you these days? I've read that a few firmware updates over time have made things like Game Mode worse or something unintentionally less bright and pissed people off. Assuming you do update the tv as opposed to keeping it offline, is the performance still good or have firmware updates caused issues for you? That's the one major thing keeping me away from Samsung.
Can you do a s95c review like g3?
I will be, yes
Thank you. that review just too good🍻
You will make a settings video for the s90c?
So in windows hdr calibration app we also set peak brightness to 2000 nits?
Yeah
@@ClassyTechCalibrations thanks for the reply. Does the picture look accurate enough with the settings in this video? I see someone on the forum a while back said the image on this tv still looked cartoonish even in accurate settings compared to lg oled.
@@vmd1293 It is very good, just people making fanboy comments.
@@vmd1293 Yeah, that may have been me. I definitely described the OOTB picture settings as oversaturated and cartoonish. Especially when gaming. Unfamiliarity with the UI was leading to me not really knowing what I was doing in trying to get it more pleasing. Classy's settings videos have helped a lot. some reds, oranges and greens still look "off" to me at times (in comparison to my calibrated LGs) but they are certainly no longer garish to my eyes. I do think an eventual proper calibration will help, but it does look pretty good!
Does setting the slider to 2000 nits in W11 affect HGIG compliant games that are supposed to clip at like 800 nits?
will these settings work on the s90c?
Copied these settings looks very good and natural, however i always switch back to dynamic mode in movies idk why but it looks the best for my eyes
When game mode is set to 'Auto' it makes motion juddery when watching content. I had to set to off then it's smooth motion again
QN90B updated to 1520. version. Please new settings?
Bonjour, est ce que quelqu'un peut m'expliquer pourquoi il faut mettre sharpness at 0 ? Why not 20 ??
How is the motion for the s90c compare to the G2 I am trying to decide between those 2 in 77inches? Thanks in advance.
Basically the same
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Thank you for taking the time to answer me. I really appreciate it. Which one would you choose? I am 50/50 movies/sports and gaming. Thank you again.
