Love that you have your dog and fam making guest appearances. Makes your videos even more fun and relatable. And hilarious surprise and couch summersault. Obvious you guys are having fun. I think Sansung may be charging waaaay to much for their AI enhancement on this year's models. I'm lifelong put their pricing to performance ratio is no longer attractive vs competition. Love and thanks for the review!!! ❤️🍻👊🏽
@@BTheInstaller- I think he meant it as a compliment, like she’s tough and she works hard. You don’t have to say she’s beautiful because that goes without saying.
As a calibrator may I suggest you NEVER use Contrast Enhancement when evaluating a television. Why? In SDR you’re completely altering the Gamma. Programs are mastered in either 2.2 to 2.4 In HDR you’re altering the PQEOTF. In either case you’re altering dramatically the image from the creators intent. Specifying the image looks odd while setting Contrast Enhancement to on is par for the course. It will enhance higher lumen content while crushing detail in dark scenes. It’s a kin to setting an equalizer for super high treble while lowering the bass. Also I really would recommend learning how to calibrate a televisions White Balance. Depending upon the Picture Mode you’re in it often over emphasizes Blue and gives the image a very cool two dimensional appearance, again rendering an image very different than the creators intent. Calibration when done right will not sacrifice brightness and will give you a much more realistic image to critique. Annnd who wouldn’t want that ☺️ Hope this helps. In other news your reviews are entertaining. Thank you ☺️
I love your videos Brandon! You explain the set ups of these TVs so I well that I feel like I could do it myself and I could be the installer. …… Ohhhhhhhh
you guys spend your money and effort to give us reveiws thanks we love you and thats good at some point we might like and them thanks have a great day and you also tell us about how the tv specs are thanks and you also tell us how to install thats good keep it up maybe you might be given an award for this we love and support
This review is a winner as you did a fair review on this overpriced TV and great comparison on competing models. For those of already own 85" tv, and are now looking to go bigger, you sir are THE source to rely on. Thanks, Brian.
I just bought an LG 97" OLED G2 (tomorrow installation) for the same price, about $11400.. This review makes my deal a real steeeeeel..!! Thanks, B. ❤ your channel..
What a nice video guys. Loved Caesar and Jen participating more in the video. I thought 🤔 well it looked like Jen hurt her neck when she rolled onto the couch. 😲
My friend owns this TV and find the lighting zone transitioning is a bit off, there is blooming but not too bad, DVD upscaling/smoothing is not very good, HDR gradient is not very good, lots of stuttering during fast action movies, the smart interface has plenty of ads and I do notice some vignetting.
I also forgot to mention the stand is secure but if you brush the TV it will wobble. My other friend was bringing in a bowl of popcorn to watch the movie and just lightly brushed the edge of the TV and it began to wobble. I've never seen my other friend move so fast to stop the TV from wobbling. My friend paid nearly 23 grand Canadian for the TV and it is also on sale right now at Visions Electronics for $14,999 plus tax.
Great video as always. Mini LED still has a bit to go before I’d consider it over Oled. As soon as I see one I immediately spot the fall in contrast and colour from off angle. As well as the backlight tricks it uses to deal with possible blooming. Love that enormous glossy black screen though. Also, holy good god, Jen in this video 🔥🔥🔥 … B looks good too 😜
Put it on Dynamic and as far as picture quality u will get the most out of the picture. Mix that with the high setting I promise u won't be disappointed
Some reviewers like Andrew Robinson noticed serious issues concerning scaling and picture processing with the 98" QN90D. I recommend staying away from this model until the issues have been addressed. If at all of course.
Cheaper Sony bravia 7 upscaling and smoothing is better ,, it's just as bright and cheaper and color is more accurate ,,, motion is better ,, noise reduction better
Really good review Brandon & Jen. I'm wondering whether you test apps like TH-cam TV using the onboard app or with an external streaming device? It's been my experience that streaming quality is better when using an external device. Maybe that's no longer the case in 2024. Also, and it's likely you know this... the QN90D line is not Samsung's 4K QLED flagship. That's the QN95D however it only goes up to 85 inches. I'd be curious to see how it compares to the gargantuan 98" you just reviewed. How was the sound quality on the QN90D? Thanks again for a great review. It's a pleasure to watch you guys do your thing.
Sounds like to many flaws in this tv for this hi price. From the tone in your voice it sounds like you were expecting more. Didn’t see side views of this tv. If it’s me a big NO.
Me...I'd only buy 85in+ for 4k, so I don't expect it to perform miracles upscaling 720p sports. 85+ is about immersion, and this tv has huge HDR impact because of brightness and size. That said, it sounds way overpriced.
I will buy a TCL 98'' QLED TV for my PS5. The price is reasonable, this TV is $10,000, 5 times more expensive than my TV. I will invite a few friends, it cannot be alone, it is too heavy. I will buy a box of beer and have a barbecue.👍👍
I would rather buy an 86-inch OLED at $1500- $2000. At 98" imo just get a home theater. It would be cheaper. Also, after using OLEDs, LED TVs are just not good enough.
I looked at the Samsung, but Sony put the 98” X90L on sale in July for $5K, so I went for it. Great picture with the usual superior Sony video processing. Since standards change a lot every few years, it’s better in my opinion to spend $5K now vs $13K so your not so all-in on an item you may want to upgrade in a few years.
Bro I had to return my 100 inch Hisense cuz of shipping damage and Best Buy was tryna spin me some bs that I wouldn’t be able to get an exchange for 6 weeks unless I brought it in myself, so me and my buddy put it back in box and hauled it away and it was shitty, 152lbs. Wasn’t the issue really cuz we have lifted 300lbs+ which is was wayyyyyy worse, it was the size of the thing and the weight spread across the entire item that made it so cumbersome
good video, just a favor could you try the following video "4K HDR Fireworks Sony Oled TV Demo" on TH-cam with the local attenuation on high and see the blooming that it presents a lot or a little, because mine presents a lot in this specific video and in subtitles in general.
Let's be honest, 50% of us didn't click on the video because we care about the TV. We know, and they know it. Otherwise she wouldn't be in the thumbnail, would wear long clothes... etc. But we all clicked. 🤷♂️
OMG ......the motion processing for the sports clips are awful/atrocious/bad!!!!!! I am very sensitive to bad motion processing and this is as bad as it gets!!!!!!
The G4 97" oled does NOT have MLA. So why bother? Get the older model and save $, and donate the savings to a children's hospital ecology ward. Thanks for watching.
Samsung QC is totally unacceptable on LED TV's. DSE, dead pixels, light bleed, clouding. It's almost impossible to get a clean set. I would not even try at this point.
I have to ask, why is it any concern of yours what someone wears? I have lots of friends who wear sports gear or gym gear almost all the time. I wouldn’t dream of asking them why. And it’s Jen not Jane. Pay attention to the important things please.
$15,000 so much about time instead of quality cause it looks worse then tvs I see at walmart they just me 200 inch tvs so i can hire a truck to bring one into my house I'm bored of small tvs....
You might as well have your wife wear a bikini while unboxing. The title of the video would be Bikini Unboxing. I'm betting you'll get more views. Love your channel. 😊
I’m pretty sure B doesn’t dictate what Jen wears. She can wear whatever she wants and she’ll always look great. I will draw a line over B wearing a mankini though.
@@LESTATAK Agree that he sets up the thumbnail for optimal affect. And why wouldn't he. If you've got it, flaunt it. And Jen certainly has got it. Also the banter between B and Jen is becoming one of the highlights of these videos so she more than justifies her inclusion in the thumbnail.
This TV resumes what Samsung has been doing: - cheapening the build construction with doubtful panels and light - horrible and user UNfriendly and heavy UI - upscale and motion control need a lot of work - no Dolby tech. Nop, not good
I have their 8k qn900b tv. I bought it new and it was supposed to be the best Samsung TV so I had high expectations. It's a good and bad tv. Seems like Samsung has been dropping the ball. The screen panel was replaced three times, plus the main board was replaced all in one year. And Samsung and their technicians were horrible to deal with. They didn't even resolve the issue and kept scheduling appointments until it hit the 1 year mark and ended up telling me, they normally would have sent me a replacement, but I'm out of warranty now so they can't do anything. And their technicians no showed numerous times and they kept sending people who looked like they just got out of prison. Horrible experience. If this reviewer is showing issues with their test unit, I would not gamble on this TV otherwise you will get left with a very expensive paper weight.
Love this channel. Yall are literal goals and the way yall both interact is so real !
Wow, what a thumbnail! 😍

She knows what she doing!

Another Big AZZ TV in da house.😊
No Dolby Vision or DTS passthrough. I believe the QM8 has both so I'd go with that. Not sold in the UK though. :(
Great vid...... thank you
I'll buy this when they make a Micro LED version of it !
Hey some one lost a few pounds good for u by the way u lucky guy wife is knock out especially in shorts 😊
NO ONE REALLY NEEDS A TV THIS BIG🧐
It's 98 inches but once those black bars show up in movies the tv becomes 30 percent smaller. Can you change the aspect ratio on this TV?
That is a bad ass tv.
Cheaper Sony bravia 7 upscaling and smoothing is better ,, it's just as bright and cheaper and color is more accurate ,,, motion is better ,, noise reduction better

are they specifically for inside the house?
I wouldn't buy it if it was $5k. At their price it needs to be a perfect set.
top notch
If only Sony made a 98” mini led😢
Comparison to q80c and qn990 series please
