How are you surprised that there is no Dolby Vision on a Samsung? There is no DV on ANY Samsung, and they are adamant about that. They have been pushing HDR10 since its inception.
I've heard s95b has issues when connecting PC, especially turning the Game Mode on, so my answer is no... 'cause I wanna use my TV with my RTX4090... It's so sad LG OLED has the weak point when drawing yellow colour, it is the only choice so far... I wish Samsung cares their softwares including the f**king tizen OS... their qd-oled pannel is astonishing... (Not fluent at English. If there is an annoying expression, please 🙏 understand there is no intention from me to bother anyone.) Thank you for your video everytime ☺️
I bought both the 65 and 55 inch, one for the living room the other for the bedroom. These are my first OLED TV's and they don't disappoint. The S95B is great for watching 4K movies and playing games. The recent firmware update seems to have fixed the sluggishness of the menus. I don't seem to have a problem with lag, everything runs fluid.I have no regrets with the S95B purchase this was a great buy. .
S95B is the first TV where HDR amazed me truly. Playing Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 in HDR showed me colors and image quality that I have never seen before from a TV. QD-OLED simply has the color brightness to make HDR pop right and with 1000+ nits peak it can look insane at times. Had C9 and G1 before S95B and while they were good TVs on their own, they are not close to S95B for sure. It is not even close. Shadow detail on S95B is amazing and brightness is crazy + Colors just pop making content look almost 3D at times.Hard to explain, needs to be seen (and not in a store, in full lighting - OLED first shines at home with lights dimmed or off obviously)
I'm glad you love it. Did you look at the A95K and still decide on Samsung? I am curious because over 1/2 my 4K UHD movies have Dolby Vision so that is a thing for me... I'm coming from LG B8 so it's tough to think about losing compatability... arrrgh. But tempting due to price of 55" in my market. Australia.
I think top end Samsungs in general since 2018 have had the best hdr every yr, well in gaming at least. No other brand has blown me away in gaming like top end samsungs.
@@alyssacrypto Dolby vision movies/shows are just beautiful. I have an A9G and everything on it blows me. Game mode is meh, but movies and shows....in dolby vision...immaculant lol
My S95B is amazing! I got the 55in so it seems that they are less prone to bending cause mine is perfect. I think there’s been too much hate for this TV right now. Yes there’s lag in the UI and there’s little things you can pick at it but over all it’s an incredible TV. I’d highly recommend over any TV this year.
How is the lag on yours? Mine can be pretty bad at times but I can’t be bothered to return it for and have been trying to simply live with it. How does yours get?
@@iLoskii you can’t pick up the tv holding the top corners. It’ll bend. Seen plenty of people in unboxing vids film themselves doing it. Just follow the instructions and you’ll be fine 👍
@@Giroutte when you say lag, do you mean gaming? The game mode is disabled out the factory, you have to go fairly deep into the settings to find it and enable it, should be zero noticeable lag after that.
By the way when I first purchased my Samsung S95B OLED TV in April 2022 at Best Buy in the USA, it cost $2,100. When Black Friday game in 2022, it was selling for $1,400 at Best Buy. 😭You sound like you located in the England with a British accent. I wish you made your TV stand to be sold in the United States. Wow, that stand is awesome and I plan to upgrade from a Samsung 55 OLED S95B to a Samsung 65 inch OLED in about 2 years and your stand would be perfect in my apartment.

In Germany Samsung currently offers insane promotions and bundles for this TV.

Incredible value for that.
Seeing HDTVtests on how blown out and inaccurate the colors are really opened my eyes to why this tv is so popular. I've always looked at comparison videos and thought the colors were blown out but I guess thats why this TV is popular.

I am not sure how much a human can tell the difference in picture quality at a certain point. I just got a budget 65" TV under £400 and to me it is fantastic. It has everything apart from QLED it has dolby vision HDR1O HLG. dolby ATMOS sound through the sound bar (ARC) is amazing. I don't play games so not to sure how good it would it would be.

I have the 55" version no bending at all and truly stunning image. Yes the UI is laggy but updated to firmware 1420 via usb from Samsung website vastly improved it, also I mainly use Amazon fire cube which avoids any issues. Paired with Philips hue hdmi sync box makes this an amazing experience. Guess I was lucky (or just smart) but I only paid £1000 so made this a no brainer Vs the sub par lg c2, it needs some tweaking to get it perfect but once done looks gorgeous.

Very nice video. Im really interested in this tv but even more interested in the A95K so look forward to your video comparing them. The problem I have watching lots of videos of these tvs is the s95b is soft when watching normal sky tv but great with gaming, and the A95K is better with everyday viewing but not so good with gaming...Arrrrrgh!!
I am fully happy with my 55 inch LG C2, this Tv is the best all round tv at the moment, this Tv is so good at gaming it almost makes you forget the fact that this tv is equally great for content consumption as well, especially Dolby vision content, lack of Dolby vision in Samsung TV’ s are a bit turn off for me.
Nice review "QD-OLED" sir: pros (1. great picture quality) and cons (1. "the motion isn't quite as smooth as I would like it to be", 2. "Tizen OS = I have noticed how slow, "laggy" and buggy it can be", 3. No Dolby Vison support) . Could all of these be related to some slow processing power in part? the other part I can think of is that it could be the UI designed without resource optimization and/or reclaiming.
I've had the SONY A9K for a week now. My mind is blown and my nights are long. Truly the best looking TV I've ever own and will be interesting to watch the review on that. As far as this Samsung S95B, I heard similar concerns across the board. Like how did they make the bezel that thin without making sure it wouldn't be compromised? I don't care how "affordable" a high tier TV is I can't forgive it being bent out of the box.
Hi Spawnpoint!!! Excellent review, very honest and straight to the most important points. I can't wait for the Sony A95K review and comparison. Lastly but not least important, let's go England! Please remove France from the world cup! You have all my support!!! 💪🏻⚽️🏴
Excellent gaming TV! I’ve had mine since launch and it’s running great! I have the paired with the new Samsung soundbar HW-Q990B which sounds fantastic.
Got this the other week the 55inch, my first oled screen, but I must say, I only really use it for gaming as its the bedroom screen, and I must say it's bloody amazing. After going in store going to get a budget screen ended up with this ££ later ahha
I bought the s95b qd oled 2 weeks ago. After one week the screen turned green, the tv switched on/off by itself. Now im waiting for a new tv, but don't know if i should accept it because im afraid that it will happen again. What do you think about it? Thank you
Had mine a month now, it's WAY better than my LG C1 OLED. Had to move that to the bedroom due to it being unusable in my bright living room during the day, the Samsung is bright and vibrant even in a bright room with reflections, LG was imppossible to watch. In the dark, the Samsung still looks better. This is the TV to get at the moment unless you really want Dolby Vision then get the Sony but it'll cost you a lot more.
Great video from an honest consumer point of view. I'm on the fence between this and the LG C2, mainly for gaming but also some movie watching. Is this a major leap over the C2 considering the lack of Dolby Vision, bent panel, etc?
I have the s95b in my living room and it's Great because of the colors. But I hate the UI, and honestly the motion does bother me at times, I have no idea how to describe it but it isn't as crisp as a LG ( I owned a LG c9). I Plan on getting the LG c2 in my room a 55inch as my main gaming display along side my monitor for productivity work. Honestly For gaming I prefer LG because of the motion and it's a a technology that has been refined by LG. You cannot go wrong with either but If I had to be 100% honest on my decision yes the colors of the s95b are amazing but unless you had them both side by side the LG c2 would be the winner for Gaming because of the Motion and epically for their UI and menus. The s95b for Brightness and colors. I went Crazy over these two deciding what to get. Do not go crazy like me. Get the C2 for gaming Or if you really wanna try it out, get the s95b from best buy as the returns are extended till January see if you like it, If not return it for the C2 as it is slightly cheaper and still one of the TOP Tv's on the market right now.
If you’re gaming and want an all rounder, go LG Oled. If you’re a movie/tv buff go with Sony Oled (no need for master series) A80 range is perfect. Best out of the box performance for content watching. All down to your personal requirements.
I'm unfortunately one of the few people who received my second S95B 65" with a slight bend as well, which is why I'm waiting for a third replacement soon. Otherwise the TV is phenomenal. Picture quality is incredible and it integrates well with all my other Samsung products. Sure, the colors look blown out at first but once you've calibrated it using your phone (yes, that is possible using a built in app) it looks pretty amazing.
Slight bend? Why do you care if it's very little? Pretty much ALL OLEDs that are thin at the top, have a slight bend. My 2 LG OLEDs have slight bends as well. It makes no difference unless it's very noticable.
Not to break your bubble but you ain't getting a bendless one, lol. I've seen 20+ of those in various stores and they're all bent. If someone says his isn't bent he's either visually-impaired or has a lucky 55".
@@bloodknight2012 Have a 65" right here that isn't bent. I have to admit it took a lot of care and 2 people with plenty of yelling and planning involved to place the thing whilst preventing bending. I have no doubt that there's no way personnel in a tv-shop wouldn't bend it. Biggest reason other than the fragility of the TV is that the manual is not correct: it specifies you have to grab the TV at the halfway point of the edge of the screen and place 1 hand at the bottom of the panel to lift&stabilise/pivot it. If you do this your panel WILL bend. At 65" it is too big and too thin not to bend due to it's own weight when grabbed at the edges. I used a thick matress held against the panel to lay it down and pivot it back up to place it. This way the forces were equally distributed across the panel as much as possible when pivoting it from vertical to horizontal and vice-versa to install the foot. To place the panel on the TV stand afterwards didn't require holding the panel anywhere other than on the bottom.
@@m.m.x.4244 Unfortunately, I didn't care enough to thoroughly observe my own 65" before we got it out of the box. I noticed the bend only a few days later when I was really looking for it. But to be fair, I don't think it's actually people bending it themselves during the unpackaging. We were 2 people and were extremely careful too. Also, the way we were handling it, if we were the ones that bent it, we would've bent it outwards while my two slight bends are inwards. I talked to a customer service guy in a retail shop a few weeks back and he told me that all their S95Bs were bending over time due to the heat, otherwise they didn't come to them as bad. I'm not sure if I really believe this as my own unit has been in use every day for more than a month and the bend hasn't developed further one bit. Although, theirs are pumping out full brigthness Dynamic mode full 24/7 in the Showroom mode so who knows.
Firmware 1420.9 fixed lag in interface ... TV is perfect, cleanest, brightest panel I have ever had. Moved from LG C1. No need in Dolby Vision. It looks better , than dolby vision on LG C1. TV must be calibrated for natural colors.
Surprised you left out multi-view should have mentioned it imo. Also personally I'd recommend standard picture setting for sports, I don't think filmmaker mode is perfect for all scenarios, just for netflix, prime and disney+ imo.
QD-OLED, I actually love the S95B from the looks and all.. But the build quality.. Idk. The bending seems to be an overall issue since the TV got released, I want to upgrade next year, I guess i wait till mid/end of next year and see what we get! Can't wait for the Sony TV video!
@@takumifujiwara9181 Well, you can make it up to your own taste, I do like vibrant colors and such, I watch him from time to time. His knowledge is absolutely amazing.
@@xPenitentOne Yup! picture is personal preference but I think its important for consumers to know what they are purchasing especially if its a consumer whose job is photography,film,3D artist etc.
This is the best TV I've owned, but I would not recommend buying it due to the QC issues. Took 3 tries to get a working one. I also have found that for competitive gaming, I prefer using my LG C2 42". The price right now is amazing tho and if you are up to the risk you can probably snag one open box for under $1000
I'm about to pre order the 77 inch S95C BUT i had my heart set on a 85 inch tv Decisions Decisions 8 inches does make a difference but so does quality I currently own a lg cx 65inch
My S95B malfunctioned on day 7. Massive green line right down the middle right of the screen. Luckily I was able to return it for a different tv. Best Buy guys said this was the most returned tv of the year due to QC issues.
exactly, i was tempted to buy the s95b but the idea of being an early adopter doesn't really excite me. The picture quality is better than the lg's oled but overall the c2 is better: is lighter, is better made, it support dolby vision, and last but not least, is less expensive. Furthermore lg c2 is the latest model of a very solid and quality series that never dissapoints.
What have you been smoking? C2 is not better LOL. S95B has better features, 144 Hz support, way better colors (QD-OLED has 2-3 t imes the color brightness), way better shadow detail, better viewing angles, better brightness. S95B will blow C2 away in both SDR and HDR. C2 is a fine TV but it's not high-end. More like a mid-end OLED. G2 is LGs high-end model and even that is losing to S95B and A95K. QD-OLED simply beats WOLED easily. S95B in game mode looks 3 times as bright as C2 with way better colors on top.
Most people keep these expensive oled's much longer than 2-3 years. Looks fantastic except for the Tizen os lag. That screen bend is a problem. Companies really need to focus on getting it all right from the beginning instead of cost cutting. Yup, wait for 2023 upgrades. Informative, thanks.
I was going to say I've had my TV for 10 years and I'm just now starting to shop around. Can't decide on the QN85B or spending the extra $1000 for the QN95B
Nice video, i was thinking to buy s95b but i already have CX & Qn90a which i choose over s95b, can you do comparison G2 or C1 and S95b? thanks more power to your channel.
@@gamerss7797 no regrets. Picture is great. Value is unrivalled, and paired with a Sonos beam it’s everything I wanted in a main room TV. 55” has been absolutely fine as well which I thought might be a regret but at a £1000 price point I think it’s best all round choice.
Hi I am little bit confused about my gaming room?...what would you suggest ..shall I get a 32 inch LG gaming monitor or shall I get 42 inch LG c1 or LG c2 tv for PS5?
QD-OLED! Debating between this and the QN800B. What are your thoughts? I'm hoping you can do the x95 review quicker. One thing please keep in mind when you're comparing the two is the price and if the Sony is worth the premium.
returned a 8k qled for s95b. Some instances in 8k 4090 gaming the 8k looked better but for the most part the oled even at 4k was significantly nicer looking. 8k oled ftw but yeah.... no one should give that much to any tv manufacturer.
I have a request. Would you mind referencing and comparing black crush on future OLED reviews? No one talks about improvements with this issue on OLED panels.
QD-OLED, i like this honest review. also I had NO IDEA they had QC issues such as the bend and UI. I'm looking to get a QD-OLED TV soon and I've been peeping the S95B and Sony. i might go the Sony route at this rate? Honestly hope these TVs continue to get more affordable though.
Nice video as always Chris. Congrats on the new house! I had my eye on this QD-OED and I almost got it from Samsung directly, but their finance system was down. It was on a very good deal and I was willing to sacrifice lack of Dolby Vision and use Tizen for it. I am very glad I missed out as lots of people on the thread reported bent panels and dead pixels within a short time of use. Last I heard, they were then struggling to get Samsung to fix / replace it as their customer support is not the best. In the end, I went for the 2021 LG QNED91 Mini-LED on a discounted price from Costco, so I have peace of mind if anything was ever to go wrong with it for at leat 5 years. Loving the TV and Web-OS and the magic remote. I thought I would miss Google TV, but we've not even used our fire stick since getting it except on one occasion. I know you are a big fan of OLED, but many of the affordable ones are unfortunately not bright enough for my bright living room. Hopefully by the time I need to upgrade (or my QNED91 goes wrong) I can upgrade to QD-OLED or OLED-EX which is supposed to be brighter as well. BTW - love the Christmas jumper! I have the same one as well! :-D Merry Christmas to you!
I’d wait until next year personally as the new Mediatek chip comes out on next years models, which could mean Sony TV’s having 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. All of those are good TV’s, but if you want a good TV for gaming then I’d personally go for the Samsung S95B even though I don’t like the build quality or the LG C2.
Depends if you care about picture accuracy. The S95B is very inaccurate and they artificially blow up the contrast to make it appealing to the average consumer. HDTVTest has a great video on the S95B about its blown out colors.
It’s a hard choice for gaming as there are pros and cons. If you game on Xbox and want DV gaming then your choice is made, go with the C2. 1300 firmware has corrected most of the over brightening of the S95B but I like to do gamma -1 shadow detail +1 for a slightly darker yet more contrasty picture. So if best picture quality is your priority it’s hard to beat the S95Bs colors and brightness. Tweaking the settings will get you a very accurate image. People who complain about the accuracy must not know what they are doing because out of the box this TV is one of the most accurate non sony or Panasonic TVs out there.
Dude, this is very easy to answer. C2 is not even close to S95B in gaming. S95B has better colors, higher brightness and better shadow detail. S95B easily wins. S95B also supports 144 Hz without frame skipping for PC usage.
It’s great value for money, but I really don’t like the build quality of this TV it feels flimsy and cheap, but compared to the Sony A95K it’s a bargain and has better features for gaming, although I think that the Sony has the better picture and build quality overall.
Would you buy this? If not, what else?
Sony a85k. Only other tv with the same tech. C1 would be next one but you mindaswell get the Samsung
LG C2 65 or 77”
The build quality isn't good enough for me, like i want a TV to survive a house move for example, also I do like accurate colours

I have got a better chance pulling Jennifer Lawrence than Samsung updating their TV's with Dolby Vision.
Lmao
You’re not wrong, I still don’t know why they don’t support Dolby vision, one of the reasons I wouldn’t get a Samsung tv
The HDR10 plus looks just as good if not better. Have this tv and the LG. Enjoying the Samsung more.

"Tizen OS = I have noticed how slow, "laggy" and buggy it can be", 3. No Dolby Vison support) . Could all of these be related to some slow processing power in part? the other part I can think of is that it could be the UI designed without resource optimization and/or reclaiming.
Nice dude, i'll be giving this one a try soon
1/3 of the way to 1 Million Subs.
Keep it going
Incredible tv. The bend is user error when picking it up. You don't need dolby vision as the tv is so bright and pops anyway
I totally agree, the PQ has blown me away
I've had the SONY A9K for a week now. My mind is blown and my nights are long. Truly the best looking TV I've ever own and will be interesting to watch the review on that. As far as this Samsung S95B, I heard similar concerns across the board. Like how did they make the bezel that thin without making sure it wouldn't be compromised? I don't care how "affordable" a high tier TV is I can't forgive it being bent out of the box.
QD-OLED -wise, the A95K was hailed by many as this year's best TV. The next video will be interesting!
Hi Spawnpoint!!! Excellent review, very honest and straight to the most important points. I can't wait for the Sony A95K review and comparison. Lastly but not least important, let's go England! Please remove France from the world cup! You have all my support!!! 💪🏻⚽️🏴
Excellent gaming TV! I’ve had mine since launch and it’s running great! I have the paired with the new Samsung soundbar HW-Q990B which sounds fantastic.
How's it holding up? thinking of purchasing it or would you recommend getting the latest Qd old samsung will offer this year?
@@TheFloresFam562 It's been great no issues so far. I guess that depends if you want to wait and if it will be worth the wait
The Bend is happening because the heat of the TV to its ultra thin design I am glad you brought that up because I noticed it when I went to best buy
Naa
I love you SpawnPoint happy holidays! W
QD OLED
Hey bro nice house it been a while I've checked up on your channel
You're doing really great bro keep it up
I appreicate it, thank you.
@@SpawnPoiint always here to support bro ❤️🧡💛💙💜💚💜
12 seconds. New record for first comment! Love the vid btw
Got this the other week the 55inch, my first oled screen, but I must say, I only really use it for gaming as its the bedroom screen, and I must say it's bloody amazing. After going in store going to get a budget screen ended up with this ££ later ahha
It would be great if you also show us some clips in a dark room with no lights on. Would love to see how TVs look then.
Ok, thanks for the feedback. Will include that in the comparison videos.
I just got the SB95 55 inch with 980 euros, no bending, 1304 firmware out of the box, Awesome tv, impressive quality in image and sound.
That's an amazing price! Do you mind sharing where? I'm based in EU, thank you.
I bought the s95b qd oled 2 weeks ago. After one week the screen turned green, the tv switched on/off by itself. Now im waiting for a new tv, but don't know if i should accept it because im afraid that it will happen again. What do you think about it? Thank you
Mine just broke too
You forgot to mention that waiting for the 2023 models means you also pay about 1000 euro/dollar more compared to the S95B
Just spotted burn in on mine after 8 months of usage. Most i can do is pop a pixel refresh with my fingers crossed 🤞
No burn in on qd oled
Had mine a month now, it's WAY better than my LG C1 OLED. Had to move that to the bedroom due to it being unusable in my bright living room during the day, the Samsung is bright and vibrant even in a bright room with reflections, LG was imppossible to watch. In the dark, the Samsung still looks better. This is the TV to get at the moment unless you really want Dolby Vision then get the Sony but it'll cost you a lot more.
I love your videos big bro
Love you man
Would you recommend get it as a monitor? Or burning 🔥 is a big issue here
Great video from an honest consumer point of view. I'm on the fence between this and the LG C2, mainly for gaming but also some movie watching. Is this a major leap over the C2 considering the lack of Dolby Vision, bent panel, etc?
I have the s95b in my living room and it's Great because of the colors. But I hate the UI, and honestly the motion does bother me at times, I have no idea how to describe it but it isn't as crisp as a LG ( I owned a LG c9). I Plan on getting the LG c2 in my room a 55inch as my main gaming display along side my monitor for productivity work. Honestly For gaming I prefer LG because of the motion and it's a a technology that has been refined by LG. You cannot go wrong with either but If I had to be 100% honest on my decision yes the colors of the s95b are amazing but unless you had them both side by side the LG c2 would be the winner for Gaming because of the Motion and epically for their UI and menus. The s95b for Brightness and colors. I went Crazy over these two deciding what to get. Do not go crazy like me. Get the C2 for gaming Or if you really wanna try it out, get the s95b from best buy as the returns are extended till January see if you like it, If not return it for the C2 as it is slightly cheaper and still one of the TOP Tv's on the market right now.
If you’re gaming and want an all rounder, go LG Oled. If you’re a movie/tv buff go with Sony Oled (no need for master series) A80 range is perfect. Best out of the box performance for content watching. All down to your personal requirements.
I'm unfortunately one of the few people who received my second S95B 65" with a slight bend as well, which is why I'm waiting for a third replacement soon. Otherwise the TV is phenomenal. Picture quality is incredible and it integrates well with all my other Samsung products. Sure, the colors look blown out at first but once you've calibrated it using your phone (yes, that is possible using a built in app) it looks pretty amazing.
Slight bend? Why do you care if it's very little? Pretty much ALL OLEDs that are thin at the top, have a slight bend. My 2 LG OLEDs have slight bends as well. It makes no difference unless it's very noticable.
Not to break your bubble but you ain't getting a bendless one, lol. I've seen 20+ of those in various stores and they're all bent. If someone says his isn't bent he's either visually-impaired or has a lucky 55".
@@bloodknight2012 Have a 65" right here that isn't bent. I have to admit it took a lot of care and 2 people with plenty of yelling and planning involved to place the thing whilst preventing bending. I have no doubt that there's no way personnel in a tv-shop wouldn't bend it.
Biggest reason other than the fragility of the TV is that the manual is not correct: it specifies you have to grab the TV at the halfway point of the edge of the screen and place 1 hand at the bottom of the panel to lift&stabilise/pivot it.
If you do this your panel WILL bend. At 65" it is too big and too thin not to bend due to it's own weight when grabbed at the edges.
I used a thick matress held against the panel to lay it down and pivot it back up to place it. This way the forces were equally distributed across the panel as much as possible when pivoting it from vertical to horizontal and vice-versa to install the foot. To place the panel on the TV stand afterwards didn't require holding the panel anywhere other than on the bottom.
@@m.m.x.4244 Unfortunately, I didn't care enough to thoroughly observe my own 65" before we got it out of the box. I noticed the bend only a few days later when I was really looking for it.
But to be fair, I don't think it's actually people bending it themselves during the unpackaging. We were 2 people and were extremely careful too. Also, the way we were handling it, if we were the ones that bent it, we would've bent it outwards while my two slight bends are inwards.
I talked to a customer service guy in a retail shop a few weeks back and he told me that all their S95Bs were bending over time due to the heat, otherwise they didn't come to them as bad. I'm not sure if I really believe this as my own unit has been in use every day for more than a month and the bend hasn't developed further one bit. Although, theirs are pumping out full brigthness Dynamic mode full 24/7 in the Showroom mode so who knows.

Firmware 1420.9 fixed lag in interface ... TV is perfect, cleanest, brightest panel I have ever had. Moved from LG C1. No need in Dolby Vision. It looks better , than dolby vision on LG C1. TV must be calibrated for natural colors.
Surprised you left out multi-view should have mentioned it imo. Also personally I'd recommend standard picture setting for sports, I don't think filmmaker mode is perfect for all scenarios, just for netflix, prime and disney+ imo.
Great Video. I was wondering how do you get rid of remote play and the media gallery off your ps5 dashboard?
Nice review QD-OLED
I was close to going for this on black Friday but in the end went for the c2. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with either.
Dam! You should’ve got the newer tech! Qd oled is the future for oled right now. Sony a95k and s95b are the best tvs imo for 2022
@@GlassfilmWeddings I would have, but 65" is too small, maybe I'll get the new QD model next year for the bedroom.
@@GlassfilmWeddingsDo you have the s95b?
QD-OLED, I actually love the S95B from the looks and all.. But the build quality.. Idk. The bending seems to be an overall issue since the TV got released, I want to upgrade next year, I guess i wait till mid/end of next year and see what we get! Can't wait for the Sony TV video!
Got mine the other week, build was solid. But I’ll upgrade to 75/77” inch once they’re are available as well.
@@HonorRollStudent51 Sounds great! I'll consider it for sure, maybe even when it's cheaper so to a newer model or some! Thanks brother.
You might want to look at HDTVtests video on it too. He shows how blown out and inaccurate the colors are.
@@takumifujiwara9181 Well, you can make it up to your own taste, I do like vibrant colors and such, I watch him from time to time. His knowledge is absolutely amazing.
@@xPenitentOne Yup! picture is personal preference but I think its important for consumers to know what they are purchasing especially if its a consumer whose job is photography,film,3D artist etc.
Thank you!
Qd oled
I wonder how you use your main tv, i mean wether or not you use it with a tv box and if so which one do you go with
Nice review of a QD-OLED TV. Interesting to see how the Sony A95K will stack up against this.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to testing and comparing it this week.
I am watching this on a CRT monitor, but I can tell this is an amazing TV
This is the best TV I've owned, but I would not recommend buying it due to the QC issues. Took 3 tries to get a working one. I also have found that for competitive gaming, I prefer using my LG C2 42". The price right now is amazing tho and if you are up to the risk you can probably snag one open box for under $1000
i like seeing your videos
You are my idol
Great video 👍
Does this TV have a OneConnect box to allow flush wall mounting?
Seems to me the only glaring omission
Hows the gaming HDR I heard the firmware updates have caused some issuea and you need to edit the service menu to restore it to some extent
I'm about to pre order the 77 inch S95C BUT i had my heart set on a 85 inch tv Decisions Decisions 8 inches does make a difference but so does quality I currently own a lg cx 65inch
My S95B malfunctioned on day 7. Massive green line right down the middle right of the screen. Luckily I was able to return it for a different tv. Best Buy guys said this was the most returned tv of the year due to QC issues.
Liar
QD OLED I am in the Market for a 65” QLD tv and have set my eyes on the Samsung S95B and the LG C2.
I was going to buy one, I might wait until you review the Sony. What surround system have you got there? Thanks John
exactly, i was tempted to buy the s95b but the idea of being an early adopter doesn't really excite me. The picture quality is better than the lg's oled but overall the c2 is better: is lighter, is better made, it support dolby vision, and last but not least, is less expensive. Furthermore lg c2 is the latest model of a very solid and quality series that never dissapoints.
And I can barely game on a 48 inch C2. 55 minimum isnt feasible to me. I actually wish I went 42
Same here, same reasons… So i have c2 at home now 😊
What have you been smoking? C2 is not better LOL. S95B has better features, 144 Hz support, way better colors (QD-OLED has 2-3 t imes the color brightness), way better shadow detail, better viewing angles, better brightness. S95B will blow C2 away in both SDR and HDR. C2 is a fine TV but it's not high-end. More like a mid-end OLED. G2 is LGs high-end model and even that is losing to S95B and A95K. QD-OLED simply beats WOLED easily. S95B in game mode looks 3 times as bright as C2 with way better colors on top.
Farts: 😂 and you forget mention 2-3 times better and smoother Tizen, every new firmware is 2-3 times better as well etc. 😂😂😂
@@NeoPlexCZ tizen is bullshit, slow and confused, i prefer the mistreated webos
Most people keep these expensive oled's much longer than 2-3 years. Looks fantastic except for the Tizen os lag. That screen bend is a problem. Companies really need to focus on getting it all right from the beginning instead of cost cutting. Yup, wait for 2023 upgrades. Informative, thanks.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the comment too.
I was going to say I've had my TV for 10 years and I'm just now starting to shop around. Can't decide on the QN85B or spending the extra $1000 for the QN95B
How does it compare to the LG G2 if you had to buy one or the other?
Nice monitor audio.
Nice video, i was thinking to buy s95b but i already have CX & Qn90a which i choose over s95b, can you do comparison G2 or C1 and S95b? thanks more power to your channel.
After a lot of consideration, I’ve purchased the S95b 55” for £1079 via Samsung. I wanted the 65” but can’t justify the extra £400 at this point.
How are you finding it 3 months later?
@@gamerss7797 no regrets. Picture is great. Value is unrivalled, and paired with a Sonos beam it’s everything I wanted in a main room TV. 55” has been absolutely fine as well which I thought might be a regret but at a £1000 price point I think it’s best all round choice.
Hi I am little bit confused about my gaming room?...what would you suggest ..shall I get a 32 inch LG gaming monitor or shall I get 42 inch LG c1 or LG c2 tv for PS5?
I'd do 42 c2
@@nonyabizz3533 what about the burn in issues in a long run???
SpawnPoiint now become a TV Poiint😅😅😅
Thanks for this video. What hdmi cable do you recommend- is 4k hdmi ok to use, or should I buy the hdmi 2.1 8k 48 gbps cable. Thanks
Always go hdmi 2.1 if you can
QD-OLED!
Debating between this and the QN800B. What are your thoughts? I'm hoping you can do the x95 review quicker. One thing please keep in mind when you're comparing the two is the price and if the Sony is worth the premium.
returned a 8k qled for s95b. Some instances in 8k 4090 gaming the 8k looked better but for the most part the oled even at 4k was significantly nicer looking. 8k oled ftw but yeah.... no one should give that much to any tv manufacturer.
How do you get the best motion settings on this set?
Merry christmas sire
I have a request. Would you mind referencing and comparing black crush on future OLED reviews? No one talks about improvements with this issue on OLED panels.
It's a fair request, I will include in my A95K full review!
QD-OLED, i like this honest review. also I had NO IDEA they had QC issues such as the bend and UI. I'm looking to get a QD-OLED TV soon and I've been peeping the S95B and Sony. i might go the Sony route at this rate? Honestly hope these TVs continue to get more affordable though.
I’ve spent today with the Sony. Wow.
I know it’s custom. But man do I need your lowboard ❤❤❤
Nice video as always Chris. Congrats on the new house!
I had my eye on this QD-OED and I almost got it from Samsung directly, but their finance system was down. It was on a very good deal and I was willing to sacrifice lack of Dolby Vision and use Tizen for it.
I am very glad I missed out as lots of people on the thread reported bent panels and dead pixels within a short time of use. Last I heard, they were then struggling to get Samsung to fix / replace it as their customer support is not the best.
In the end, I went for the 2021 LG QNED91 Mini-LED on a discounted price from Costco, so I have peace of mind if anything was ever to go wrong with it for at leat 5 years.
Loving the TV and Web-OS and the magic remote. I thought I would miss Google TV, but we've not even used our fire stick since getting it except on one occasion.
I know you are a big fan of OLED, but many of the affordable ones are unfortunately not bright enough for my bright living room. Hopefully by the time I need to upgrade (or my QNED91 goes wrong) I can upgrade to QD-OLED or OLED-EX which is supposed to be brighter as well.
BTW - love the Christmas jumper! I have the same one as well! :-D
Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you! The QNED91 is a great screen, you’ve picked well for the brightness too.
Do you notice the TV seeming too purple or pink during the day or in ambient lighting with a lamp on?
I have sony xe9305(55 inches) and I thing it's time to move on.Between lg c2 and samsung s95b which one do you believe is better for my ps5?
Wait, how did you not get that new solar/radio wave charging remote that goes with this model? It should be the same remote as for QN90B.
Sup spawnpoint, cool tv btw so are you ready for England vs France?
Isn't the sound system linked to Bowers & Wilkins?
or is that the upcoming generation of TV's
Hell YEAA is worth every penny, I can't stop loving mine S95B on Series X ,, so BEAUTIFUL 🥹
Hello, im french. For you what is the best technologie for gaming ? OLED, Qled miniled ?
Hi, C2 or s95a or a80k? What would you go for?
I’d wait until next year personally as the new Mediatek chip comes out on next years models, which could mean Sony TV’s having 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. All of those are good TV’s, but if you want a good TV for gaming then I’d personally go for the Samsung S95B even though I don’t like the build quality or the LG C2.
S95
U should try making ur videos aspect ratio more wider for more immersive viewing on mobile like mkbhd, ltt, mrwhosetheboss
Did you installed the newest Update before this statments ? 😀
Yes it is i have it
Is it worth to baying this tv or Lg c2 oled because I'm confused between them only for gaming i need it.
Depends if you care about picture accuracy. The S95B is very inaccurate and they artificially blow up the contrast to make it appealing to the average consumer. HDTVTest has a great video on the S95B about its blown out colors.
It’s a hard choice for gaming as there are pros and cons. If you game on Xbox and want DV gaming then your choice is made, go with the C2. 1300 firmware has corrected most of the over brightening of the S95B but I like to do gamma -1 shadow detail +1 for a slightly darker yet more contrasty picture. So if best picture quality is your priority it’s hard to beat the S95Bs colors and brightness. Tweaking the settings will get you a very accurate image. People who complain about the accuracy must not know what they are doing because out of the box this TV is one of the most accurate non sony or Panasonic TVs out there.
@@joelman1989 Thanks for replying and the information it is helpful
could you do a comparison between this and the LG C2 oled
I buy 55 inch s95B but when I connected with my pc i get only 60 fps is it cable issue? Or settings
you need hdmi 2.1
Is there a steam app or is this through Geforce Now?
Does anyone know what stand the TV is sitting on in this video? Really like it.
Good TV but went for the LG C2 instead. Very happy. Picture quality is stunning 👌
My tv freezes and I have to disconnect it and the remote sucks.
This vs the LG C2 for playing games, which has the prettier picture in your opinion?
Dude, this is very easy to answer. C2 is not even close to S95B in gaming. S95B has better colors, higher brightness and better shadow detail. S95B easily wins. S95B also supports 144 Hz without frame skipping for PC usage.
It’s great value for money, but I really don’t like the build quality of this TV it feels flimsy and cheap, but compared to the Sony A95K it’s a bargain and has better features for gaming, although I think that the Sony has the better picture and build quality overall.
That's why I'm fully thinking about getting me a LG oled and I perfer that tv over a Samsung oled since it does got doby vision
Dolby vision license is $2,500 per year
