I own the Samsung q900rb and it has antireflection coating. I like it. Is also vibrant. Less vibrant than my C1 but is good. Thank you Brian enjoyed seeing my videos on this TV.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Jennifer! It's an honor and a pleasure to showcase your amazing work on the best TV'S in the world. youtube.com/@jennifergala?si=ivYkkvHdfYJLRtjZ youtube.com/@TheHDRSuperchannel?si=Ww_zAvf-YGMS7GGH
Brian does great videos with great information. I feel he’s one the most honest reviewers, I would love to get his honest opinion on this guys content of the S95D? Do you really need to change the contrast on this TV this drastically or are the settings Samsung creates actually just as good? th-cam.com/video/hNshFm-Bv5k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ID1ay584AzE5lQtS
@stephenpatterson8056 th-cam.com/video/TVx3HKCTUVY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3gEmoDQN8qnL2Ip2 here it is my friend. It's after the volcanos but the whole video is amazing
really thought I was going to stop watching this channel and tv content in general once I made my informed purchase last year in the s90c 77in. I simply cannot walk away as I enjoy the vibes and awesome content you make. The information is out there, but the way you deliver it is just next level Thanks Brian!
Spot on. I bought my Sony 65 "A80J OLED 2 years ago this May, in large part with info from the gang but Brian in particular. LOL. I told him the same thing. I thought that took care of my TV research, but Brian does such a good job in his expertise, delivery and thoughtful analysis, I still watch him anyway. I think there are more than a few of us who stick around to watch the TV magician work his magic. Anyway, glad to know there are so many out there that appreciate his hard work and dedication aimed directly at us, the consumer....Cheers !!!!🍾🥂
Passion goes a long way. I think many if us feel the same way about tech making the content even better. My G4 55" is nearly here, wall mounting in my office as a monitor. Later this year, depending on deals, I may go for the 83" for the living room, otherwise holding off until next year to see if QDOLED comes up in size and/or what the deal is with the rumored 4000 nits monsters.
I saw the TV in the show room- and immediately popped out to me as amazing. I also happen to have an exceptionally exceptionally bright room, even after I draw the shades, I have floor to ceiling windows on two of the four walls… I feel this TV is for me …
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Ur welcome-you provide good info and don’t seem to me to be “selling” stuff so much as reporting or explaining. Talk about a “mirror”-when I bought this apartment, the tv was literally behind a 2-way mirror, so you could see the TV especially at night, but in the day, the mirror in front of the TV reflect all of the brightness so that you can barely see the TV. So I am going to be bringing the TV out front replacing the center mirror. So when you talk about other TVs being a “mirror”- they won’t be quite the literal mirror that I had before, but this antireflective solution seems to me to be completely out of the way in a dark room, as it had been before, but will allow me to at least watch the TV when the sun is shining which I literally cannot right now with a mirror in front. Not sure it would be as bad with the TV in front even without the antireflective. But that’s why I think Samsung should allow the consumer to make a choice of what coating they want by making both types of panels for their high-end TVs…
Brian you are one of the most knowledgeable well spoken TV Utuber’s and on top of that u are one handsome son of a gun. You are definitely going places with this
Brian, thank you for the detailed video in the sunlit room! I have huge, gorgeous windows perpendicular to my TV with blackout curtains, but the sunlight in the corners drives me nuts with my Vizio. I think you've won me over; this image is truly stunning!
Hey Brian, I've been watching tv reviews for a month now and wanted to thank you and Fomo for all the product reviews that you do. I have been on the fence about the G4 and S95D 77" or 83" for my main room in my house. I have a QN90B in the main room now and the reflections during the day and high ceiling lights coming across the screen were unbearable. We got a entertainment unit to try to handle some of the reflections and it helped with the ceiling lights but the reflections through our large windows is a pain. I ended up purchasing the 77" S95D for my main room just because of how it handled reflections and lights when I was in bestbuy. I almost bought the s95C last year but glad I waited for the S95D. When I saw the reflections in store on the G4 it made me think I would be dealing with the same issues most gloss tv screens face. Thought I prefer the image processing on the G4 over the S95D ill wait until LG comes out with their updated OLED technology which incorporates hybrid blue pholed into their OLED tvs. How long will it take? Who knows but that'll be my home theater tv whenever it comes out.
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY what about the g4 though 😉. Something I'm finding is oled strains my eyes more. I guess the pwm modulation? That human eyes can't see but I'm realizing that sometimes I wish I had led purely for less eye strain and head fatigue. Something alot of people don't realize is that some users can't use oled of any kind due to that. So I'm back and forth on this. Led? Qd oled? Regular oled? Dangit to many choice and all good! I love my a95l for my movies and TV for watching and even gaming but I want something purely for spending tons of time on literally within a foot to 2 feet of my face lol. On my rig/cockpit.
First video i see in a bright natural light room of this TV, which is my situation at home. I never looked to buy oled, because during the day my living room is bright. Direct sunlight can't hit my TV directly, but the room is bright. The S95D 77" is on my number one spot to replace my 65" samsung 9QFN around black friday vs samsung 75" QN95D.
Those matte haters are so annoying. There is only one TV like that on the market and the haters want to kill it so desperatly, taking away the only option for those ppl with bright rooms, who reall need a TV like this. Honestly whats the matter with you? Just STFx
Samsung matte been awful 2019-2023 so it’s ok people are upset how it got downgraded from Q9FN from 2018. Not seen S95D in real and I have to say this looks interesting.
Thank you for the great videos! I like to think that I'm somewhere between a simp and a HT enthusiast, so I was really hesitant with the S95D due to all the YT reviews. But I just upgraded from a 77" S89C to a S95D, and WOW I was floored. I don't care what anyone says, this is the perfect TV for a multi-use room. I have an open concept great room with 20ft windows and sheer blinds. This TV looks amazing and IMO much better than the S89C during the day and EVEN during night time. The increased brightness and highlights are incredible on the 3rd gen panel, and I don't see any loss of contrast or raising of blacks (at least compared to S89C with reflections). What was surprising to me, was the lack of reflections actually amplifies the wow factor, because all your focus is now on how incredible the contrast and image depth is. For anyone hesitating on TESTING this TV out in your bright room, do it, you will be simply floored. Another factor for me was the 77" S95D is cheaper in Canada, it was only $3400+tax CAD through Samsung (only $500 more than what I paid for the S89C) and came with Samsung Buds Pros.
@@dante19890 I don’t have the numbers, but I’m gonna guess the QD OLEDS are a small share of sales. As good as they are, I think this might make em more main stream
Thank you, Brian. I had already seen enough to know the matte screen doesn't affect the image quality in a negative way by the time this video came out. But your analysis and video here further cements my perception as you had a ton of quality time with it. As i said before, the G4 is a monster, but my set of eyes are in love with Quantum Dots for gaming. For better or worse, just how my mind has been whipped up so far. That said. I appreciate all your work once again. You provide an amazing analysis, and i respect your insights to a high degree. Thanks again!
I love your videos…I don’t think the vast majority think your “bought” by these companies, just passionate about many tvs😀 keep up the mini led coverage, as that’s what I’m looking for this year, qn800d
Sure you lose a bit of vibrancy, but it's easier on the eyes, and you forget about reflections completely. The tech is amazing. Another great video, thx.
Man this video was amazing I even rewatched some segments. Wonderful just wonderful what you explained to us! You made my choice much harder now I'm considering this tv, s90c and g4. Of course price will be the major factor but if I can get it for like around 2k euros I'll likely get it. Oh yeah also super happy that they fixed one connect box (at least I hope so) Can't wait for the battle between it and g4!
So glad you enjoyed my friend. For me the G4 and S95D is on another level. The S90C is an excellent value . LG has the best Dolby Vision implementation in the business. They also have a new Dolby Vision Filmaker mode preset. I'll definitely show it when u see the 83" next week. Thank you so much for watching
I ordered the s95S in 77" a few days ago. Look forward to seeing how it handles my dark basement home theatre. I have very little in terms of reflection sources usually, but do have a light strip at the back of the room for some ambient lighting (Govee). My LG Oled CX is a mirror, and occasionally it will show a very clear reflection of that light strip. Hoping the S95D takes care of that tiny issue
Hello your opinion for 95 d. I am curious when is dark and night i dont loose real black like in oled 95 c model because of matt? I know it is on bright little more gray but is not problem for day watching... i was thinking before neo qled but oled even better i think overall.
@jadranpetesic144 I have had it for several months now in a pretty much pitch-black home theater, and the blacklevels are at least as good as they were on the regular Oleds I had before
@@rolandrohde thanks for fast answer... my doubt was when you compare at night time is like others oled same real black color because of matt tehnology. On day time i understand it looses some black because of that. Thanks again..
@jadranpetesic144 I also have Sony A95L and I was thinking the same thing about the black level lost because of the Matte screen. Honestly, it looks amazing and I actually love the Matte screen now. I think the s95D has better colors also than my Sony A95L and it's brighter
Great video and great explanation, thank you! Quick question...its a bit difficult to understand how detailed the s95d is versus other models? Can you answer this....?
Thanks for the content Brian... appreciate the shootout you and FOMO did a few days back. Granted, it was Filmmaker most of the way (not my bag tbh), but it was a balanced and detailed analysis. Great watch!. "matte'-gate' has been put to bed (for now at least). I was really looking forward to this one my friend and it didn’t disappoint! No long message this time... just a 'hi' and 'thanks' for the great content 👍
Awesome review, Brian! I can get the S95D for almost half the price of LG G4 but I am worried that the matt coating makes it significantly worse in a dark room.
He definitely has its place and its use case I see it as a great OLED alternative for a living room TV LG G4 I see is like an amazing movie room TV four bedroom TV
@@garrettstrutz7421 But very little content is made with HDR10+, and we have a lot of content made with Dolby Vision HDR. So although HDR10+ is likely as good as Dolby Vision HDR we are still missing the ability to watch content made with Dolby Vision HDR as Samsung will only use the HDR10 version that is also available for TVs that do not support Dolby Vision HDR.
I just took my LG G4 back and bought S95D and honestly, the S95D is better. HDR Content looks better and more vibrant. The overall image quality is a tie except for the color volume. Sports and gaming are amazing on S95D. I was questioning the matte finish, but now I actually love it. It looks different in your house than at Best buy
Being that the S95D's third-generation QD-OLED technology itself beats so much from the past, I think Samsung should consider manufacturing two versions of the 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch S95D--the one with the matt screen, and one with a glossy screen. I can't think of a better way to expose ALL the strengths and weaknesses of glossy and matt than when using the same panel BEHIND both screen types.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I made this very comment myself the other day, on the stream you had with what’s the name of that other dude-Asian guy with glasses: Samsung should offer glossy and Matte in 55 and 65 for the S95D
funny thing is it would get even brighter with a glossy panel, cuz some of the light output will get refracted against the matt coating from the inside
Brian, was able to see the Q95D at bestbuy the other day. It looks different then the other TVs as every other tv on the show floor, except for the Samsung frame are glossy. IMO I can see why someone would like this matte finish but I think the vast majority of people would prefer a glossy screen. Myself included. It’s great that we have the option. I felt the S95D felt more cinematic as a movie theater screen is obviously not glossy.
I started watching you Brian due to Vincent (HDTVTEST), Stop the FOMO, Gaming Tech, Plasma TV For Gaming, and some other youtubers, because I have had OLED TVs since 2016 but never had time to talk about them or show them myself over the years. But I do love OLED Gaming, I can can now fix any broken HDR PC game which most people can't do which I have learned in the recent years, but what is very interesting with your videos is how you are completely honest, we share the same interests and you also know what you talk about and you share many good tips which is superb, anyone who can do that deserves a sub and support. About the QD-OLED S95D: For me most important is that it keeps the blacks in dark room, if it raises a single bit, its not worth buying, regardless how bright it gets!
I hope there are many bright and colorful game scenes. Colorful scenes from gow ragnarok, ghost of tsushima, last of us2, forza horizon5. Deadspace and Resident Evil 4 are sufficient for the shadow detail verification game. I hope the above games are included as a must.
Nice work, Brian. The anti glare screen doesn't bother me....but have to see the Sony Bravia XR90 and then decide. There's a reason Sony went with miniLED instead of Samsung Display QD-OLED for 2024.
To me this tv is a godsent. My tv is opposite a couple of glass doors that lead to my garden. With all other tvs i see my garden reflected in the tv. Not sure if creators intent always inclides images of my garden. With s95d i have slightly lifted blacks in the most extreme of circumstances but my garden stays where it belongs)
Thanks Brian. This helps. I have been wanting an old but my family room has a lot of windows. I have the 2018 QLED which has great color but still get reflections. This may just do the trick as mirror images in my content does bother me.
Coming from a S95B 55". Mostly for PC 4090 gaming. I got an S95D. Can't decide if I like it. Something about it just doesn't wow me. Should I try a G4? Worried the loss of color going from qd Oled to woled is real. Thoughts?
@@Enzel02 I spent some time with the G4. I have it setup near my S95D. The S95D appears brighter. The S95D colors are a big leap over the G4's. Not to say the G4 looks bad at all. I had Abyss 4K running on them both at the same time on a 4K bluray player. I thought the S95D looks better overall at least on that movie. For 4K HDR gaming I tried Cyberpunk and Diablo 4. Again, the colors for the Samsung are better. G4 still looks good but it just can't reach QD oled colors. Where the G4 pulls ahead is in how sharp the game image looks. Details come out on the screen I don't see on the S95D. The G4 makes it feel like you have a higher pixel density then what a 55" screen really really is. And that can matter if you are using it as a PC monitor and are sitting fairly close at a desk like I do. So it is not an easy win for either.
Hello Brian 🤘🏼 My first year not test TVs since 2015 and busy year with moving country, sort court case with my daughter which was taken away in 2010 being denied dna for 13 years, yes, pretty long and fucked up story belonging in a book or movie. But too the point as we had some nice discussions in past and I love your content as I always say. I am going tomorrow look at TVs (live now in Brazil) and I been a little torn about S90C as I don’t know the firmware and how the S90/95D is in Brazil concerning qd oled. Samsung support could not give my fiancé an answer if it was qd oled or woled which is important for me after over 13000 hours use on S95B without the slightest image retention and looked like day 1 when I gave it too my brother, honestly would love to keep it but hard travel the world with. 😊 I am a gamer but will be used a little more with series now but gaming been my area pretty much through life give and take when I messed around in my youth. 😊 I know roughly the chance of problems with OCB but willing to do that as it be bad luck and can be sorted. This year for first time I’m a little off with 2024 TVs so I will ask you what you recommend? I know camera ding show full truth so I need to go with what your opinion is if you manage see the message. You think the S90C is a risk get 14xx firmware? Do you think S95D is a better buy in general for my use? I got a rather boring eye when it comes to screens and gaming, it looks nice in dim room as well bright? How you think it compares too S95B/S90C in dim and light? Almost convinced myself with S90C but firmware and buy tv so late is a gamble I never done and now with 14xx a little worried. Is S95D universal qd oled as far you know? Sorry for so many questions, just keep it short if you got the time to answer, just don’t want to mess up. So much money blown on the moving and yesterday needed a plumber and toilet which was not in calculation. 🤣 Looking for a 65” by the way this year until we sorted all things we need. Thanks brother, hope all is well and I keep watch some more videos so I catch up on your work. 🙏
Thanks a lot. You are the best. Why is a channel like quantum tv saying that calbration is needed for the s95d? Is it really worth spending 5 dollars if not needed...hope you can help.
I haven't had a new TV since the Samsung KS800. Now I'm so interested in the LG G4 and one of the newer Samsung. What midel would go head to head or even better than G4 on the Samsung side? Any suggestions?? Thanks
When you watch TV, your eyes are focused on the screen. The reflections are at a much farther distance, so your eyes will not be focused on them. That's why I believe that we can get away with reflective screens most of the time. If I watch Mandalorian during the day, I feel like I am one of the characters on the screen! But most of the time, most of the content I watch is bright enough that I never see reflections. My concern with the matte finish is that what would normally distant reflection that I'm not focused on will now be at the surface of the screen. Which is better, which is worse?? In my new home that I'm not in yet, my money is on the matte finish. I'll let you know in a few months if I made the right choice. Another thing that sealed my decision, is that I'll be using a retractable acoustically transparent screen that will occasionally be rolled down in front of the TV. I think the matte finish will help greatly in preventing reflections from the projector.
Thanks Brian my main two viewing areas at home is surrounded by windows with alot of uncontrollable light so this is no doubt the best choice me plus I need to upgrade over my 2015 samsung 3D tv.
La verdad... muchas gracias ahora considerade el s95d al fin y al cabo es un televisor aceptare el matte, aun asi quisiera un supper matte con las ventajas de glossy 😃
I have my G2 in my basement and it’s great down there and it will most likely get replaced by the 83” G4 or 85” QN900D at which point the G2 will get moved to my bedroom instead of the main floor living room where I have a QN90B. The only tv I’d consider getting next for my main floor living room is the 77” S95D.
At least Samsung to their credit are doing something to make a matte coating better and improving them which they have achieved here. It is the "best" matte coating to date. However, I still think for a flagship TV such a coating (any coating) should be optional for those who want it with the default being full gloss for maximum clarity in a controlled viewing environment.
Hi Brian, I’m late to the show with watching this review but I’m feeling a lot better about my purchase! I’ve got the S95 still in the box waiting to be installed and was wondering if I should have got the G4. Do you or anyone know if the box dropout is still an issue? I’ve just subscribed to the channel and will have to play catchup. Great content 👍👍
Hello Richard! Welcome to the community and family. I love the G4 but it's a wrgb oled. The S95D is a 3rd generation QD-OLED and is truly the future. What i liked about it since this video has only grown . There are also not reported the drop out issues that plagued the S95C. Enjoy your new TV my friend.
Hey Brian. Best Buy and Visions in Canada right now hava the 77" S95D 33% off. We don't even have the G4 available yet. I have had my eyes on the A95L and G3/G4 for the most part, but this deal seems pretty crazy. The S95D is $4100, A95L $7000, and the G3 for $5000. I am guessing the G4 will be around $6000. I mean...that price is crazy right? There isn't a $3000 dollar difference between it and the A95L or $2000 to the G4 right? Thanks for taking the time.
After i watched so many videos on TH-cam and special thanks to your channel and fomo's and the others, there are 2 things i need to know about, 1st, is the S95D has the red color better than the almost reddish in LG g4 ? 2nd, if S95D don't have freesync or g-sync, will i lose the benefits of them for my detailed gaming experience ?
Samsung has its own signature, my friend . All I can say is that QD-OLEDs have more color. The S95D can also be made to look very accurate. Secondly, the S95D has Freesync premium, so you're not losing VRR or any other gaming features.
I bought The Frame 2022 for the children's room. Just because he was just pretty. However, maybe not immediately, but I loved the image without reflections. So much so that I bought The Frame 2023 for the bedroom. I wanted a QN900C for the living room because it has an amazing design. Well, now I have a problem. Buy a TV that I really like or one that I love because of its lack of reflections. I mostly watch it during the day because I work night shifts. That's why I know there are others like me who also need this type of TV. Samsung may not have a great remote control or processor, but it has an amazing design.
Brian question for your opinion i am.in doubt what to buy 95 c or d model. I have in room just one window mostly let say darker i watching.. d model is also good with real black like 95 c model when is dark and night time? This is doubt with me... other things i see 95 d is slightly better more brithness hdr pro better procesor 2 generation and so on... thanks i hope you answer...
The S95D is significantly better then the S95D . More in terms of processing and tone mapping. The 3rd generation QD-OLED is amazing and definitely worth it especially in a dark environment.
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY you mean better then s95 model? Even in dark room or night this real black? Of course i ask because of that black and that is why i am interested more in oled then neo qled... thanks... then s95 d better option because of also other better details on that tv?
Is the S95D the best OLED tv for AV enthusiast with dedicated Dark cinema rooms. No. Is it the best OLED tv for the AV enthusiast that needs a tv for the family living room, with big windows. Yes, without a doubt.
Hello Brian, this is Jordi from Barcelona. Thanks your fantastic video. Which one do you chose, in 65 inches , S95D or G4? Mainly for cinema and streaming platforms. I never play games, I am to old for this. Once again many thanks.By the way I have an oled Sony from 2019.
Hello Jordi. I personally still favor the LG G4 my friend. Unless you are concerned with bright room performance where the screen on the S95D I'd much better. The G4 has Dolby Vision as well and a new processor with better upscaling. G4 for the win.
Hi to All ! If you check 6:06 to 6:20 you will see halo effect on screen that it is not from outside source On 6:21 the halo is not there It seems that on some specific lightning conditions there is a strange blooming on the screen Is it the camera or the TV ? Please check and advice
I actually want the matte for a little bit of diffusion so text isn't so sharp to read and to give a little FXAA because I don't use AA on 4k. This will be my computer screen.
People need to understand that this TV has a use case, there are plenty enough people that don’t care for an accurate TV in bright light, they want rid of reflections and glare which the S95D does. If you don’t need the matte then buy the S90D.
Brian, how do you rate this TV in a completely dark room viewing experience vs the S95c? I can get both at same price of 2750$ (77" size) Worried S95D might be actually inferior in a dark room!
I play and watch in dark room, or semi-dark, no direct reflection unless its very sunny outside, but I do have blinds, yes there are some acceptable reflections, but usually when there is daytime and sunny, I am either at work or outside, not inside watching TV. So based on this information, which do you recommend, G4 or S95D? I have previously the 65" CX, might be going for 77" which G4 and S95D both are eligible for me.
I saw the S95D in person recently and I own the S95C. I personally did not like the S95D and will have to take a hard pass on it. I would rather have a mirror appearance, because when light hits the S95D it just blows out all the colors. It’s not just the blacks, it’s everything.
The filmaker and movie modes are made to look most accurate. Try tweaking those presets and you can bring them to life. They can look very bland on their own
I’m about 98% of the way to pulling the trigger on this one. Great in the light, better in the dark. Just don’t understand the negativity around this one. I’m hoping to be “gob smacked” soon enough 😅
It's absolutely amazing! We were all cold on it initially but it's an absolute beast! Beating the a95L in my comparison . This should seal it for you th-cam.com/video/PBbD6tqnY1U/w-d-xo.html
The vessel frame of the tv kinda looks cheap and big and can be very distractful compared to other tv's of this year. But none the less, matte finish is not the future of display coating. Period. Image quality and proccessing is looking good but the finish ruins when the light hits the display, you will lose alot of detail. Cant have that during gaming sessions.
I really wanted this tv to work. The sale price is fantastic. I actually ordered it, but kept returning to compare and eventually got a refund. The shop has the S95D above the S95C both in 77s displaying the same Samsung media video with the eggs and bunny, etc. The way it diffuses light across the screen didn’t bother me as much as the murky blacks and lack of sharpness. I’m a photographer and pixel peep and up close the S95C looked tac sharp while the S95D was slightly out of focus. At a distance they looked similar. The colours looked great on the D but at all angles the black just looked off. And worse while standing to the side. It looked like someone put a drop of white in a jet black can of paint and mixed it. So close to black but just not quite there.
Appreciate your content! I watched your video comparing this to the A95L a number of times before pulling the trigger. It’s a great tv but think I’m just too particular. Most people will likely see the upsides as worth any perceived trade offs
This comparison is hardly like for like. The s95d is flanked on 3 sides. 2 sides by tvs and one by the wall. The only light that comes in is indirect. I recommend that you go to the store and take a look at it for yourself. You’ll have the privilege of being disappointed in person. It’s like those lcd matte finishes. Anyone who’s used that when sun is coming in will know that it’s far worse than the reflections. The matte finish scatters the light all over the screen making it completely unwatchable.
I explained and showed the settings in detail. Including the TV to it's right. The other TV'S don't even have direct sunlight. I show the TV with direct sunlight on the Screen. Thanks for watching
Anyone calling this OLED or any OLED a bright room superstar is either ignorant or lying. Even the very brightest OLED like the G4 or S95D can barely even reach a pathetic 300 nits full screen brightness. Even If a very moderate amount of the screen is meant to be bright ABL completely neuters brightness. TVs can only hit high nit specular highlights and that's it. Brightness stability is terrible and if you have even a tiny amount of natural lighting in the room they will be extremely difficult to see and very washed out looking. All OLED are very dim TVs.
Samsung loses a sale from me with S95D. Not because of the matte coating. In my environment it would have zero problems. But they lose out to LG G4 because 5 year panel warranty and LG has their best processing on the G4. Samsung messed up with these things. I would have to buy a best buy warranty. In Canada that would cost me $1500+ tax on a 77" S95D. And it last 4 years. Starting to see the problem why they lose. Less processing the 900D got the best, S95D basically the same as last year give or take. But I would have to pay ~$1600-1650 more for the S95D. Hell no. The G4 looks more "fun" this year, more 3d effect, better processing, fixed gaming issues and so on. But I am still waiting for Sony MiniLED and it's performance before I bite the bullet on that or G4.
You can get this for $3550 from Visions plus $670 for 5 year warranty. Certainly fhe cheapest flagship tv. That said I returned mine before it arrived as i kept returning to the shop to compare it with the glossy S95C and it just didn’t look as good. Figured if I’m going to have the tv for 5+ years I don’t want to compromise
@samr7537 are you liking your new S95D, I am from Canada looking to buy . I have bright lit room. Also, how long is one connect box? 6 ft or below? Wanted to wall mount tv. Appreciate you help!
I honestly returned it. I think I tried to justify it due to its great sale price but at the end of the day the picture just didn’t impress as much as the S95C/sony A95L/G3/G4 etc. I’m not sure if I made the wrong decision, I’m really on the fence about it. G3 let alone G4 for example will never come close to that price Yeah, about 6’ cable.
@@samr7537Appreciate your response. The price really tempted to me buy. Currently, I have QN90B65inc so thinking to upgrade 75 or 77inc tv. After your response I will hold off buying for now
@@samr7537 Appreciate your response! I got tempted to price drop of New Samsung TVs. so still thinking to buy or hold off for now. Currently, I owned QN90B65 inc still loving this TV bought this tv based on Brain, Fomo reviews. Looking to upgrade to 75 or 77inc no ideas on OLED tech
The A95L is one of the best TV'S on the planet! I compare the A95L 77" to this S95D. th-cam.com/video/PBbD6tqnY1U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u56PpZXHydjUJGXp the A95L has better processing and is more detailed. Check out it and feel better about your decision
I don’t get the hype for Samsung TV’s. To me the colors look exaggerated and cartoonish and the one Samsung tv I owned had horrible connection issues. I ve looked at the lg c3 next to the Samsung s95c in Best Buy and I think the lg looks way better. Plus their largest oled is 77 inches and I need (want 🤣) bigger for my living room
I own the Samsung q900rb and it has antireflection coating. I like it. Is also vibrant. Less vibrant than my C1 but is good. Thank you Brian enjoyed seeing my videos on this TV.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Jennifer! It's an honor and a pleasure to showcase your amazing work on the best TV'S in the world.

👋, Brian, as of now, which TV between the S95C & the LG G3 has better picture? 🤔 In gaming is the S95C a lot brighter than the G3? 🤔
Brian does great videos with great information. I feel he’s one the most honest reviewers, I would love to get his honest opinion on this guys content of the S95D? Do you really need to change the contrast on this TV this drastically or are the settings Samsung creates actually just as good? th-cam.com/video/hNshFm-Bv5k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ID1ay584AzE5lQtS
Jennifer, which video is that of yours featuring the fire dancers? Would love to check that out in person on my S90C but you have so many videos lol
@stephenpatterson8056 th-cam.com/video/TVx3HKCTUVY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3gEmoDQN8qnL2Ip2 here it is my friend. It's after the volcanos but the whole video is amazing
really thought I was going to stop watching this channel and tv content in general once I made my informed purchase last year in the s90c 77in. I simply cannot walk away as I enjoy the vibes and awesome content you make. The information is out there, but the way you deliver it is just next level Thanks Brian!
Lol. This comment describes my situation exactly. Except I also bought a 65s95B the year before. I love staying current and supporting B and FOMO.
It's one of the nicest comments ever! It truly means the world to me and so grateful to have you here. Thank you!
Spot on. I bought my Sony 65 "A80J OLED 2 years ago this May, in large part with info from the gang but Brian in particular. LOL. I told him the same thing. I thought that took care of my TV research, but Brian does such a good job in his expertise, delivery and thoughtful analysis, I still watch him anyway. I think there are more than a few of us who stick around to watch the TV magician work his magic. Anyway, glad to know there are so many out there that appreciate his hard work and dedication aimed directly at us, the consumer....Cheers !!!!🍾🥂
Passion goes a long way. I think many if us feel the same way about tech making the content even better.
My G4 55" is nearly here, wall mounting in my office as a monitor. Later this year, depending on deals, I may go for the 83" for the living room, otherwise holding off until next year to see if QDOLED comes up in size and/or what the deal is with the rumored 4000 nits monsters.
I bought a S89C in particular because of Bryan and FOMO. Also KG and Classy were big helps.
I saw the TV in the show room- and immediately popped out to me as amazing. I also happen to have an exceptionally exceptionally bright room, even after I draw the shades, I have floor to ceiling windows on two of the four walls…
I feel this TV is for me …
So do I, my friend! Thank you so much for watching.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY
Ur welcome-you provide good info and don’t seem to me to be “selling” stuff so much as reporting or explaining.
Talk about a “mirror”-when I bought this apartment, the tv was literally behind a 2-way mirror, so you could see the TV especially at night, but in the day, the mirror in front of the TV reflect all of the brightness so that you can barely see the TV. So I am going to be bringing the TV out front replacing the center mirror. So when you talk about other TVs being a “mirror”- they won’t be quite the literal mirror that I had before, but this antireflective solution seems to me to be completely out of the way in a dark room, as it had been before, but will allow me to at least watch the TV when the sun is shining which I literally cannot right now with a mirror in front. Not sure it would be as bad with the TV in front even without the antireflective. But that’s why I think Samsung should allow the consumer to make a choice of what coating they want by making both types of panels for their high-end TVs…
Brian you are one of the most knowledgeable well spoken TV Utuber’s and on top of that u are one handsome son of a gun. You are definitely going places with this
Thank you so very much for the wonderful comment, my friend . I truly appreciate you being here.
Brian, thank you for the detailed video in the sunlit room! I have huge, gorgeous windows perpendicular to my TV with blackout curtains, but the sunlight in the corners drives me nuts with my Vizio. I think you've won me over; this image is truly stunning!
Hey Brian, I've been watching tv reviews for a month now and wanted to thank you and Fomo for all the product reviews that you do. I have been on the fence about the G4 and S95D 77" or 83" for my main room in my house. I have a QN90B in the main room now and the reflections during the day and high ceiling lights coming across the screen were unbearable. We got a entertainment unit to try to handle some of the reflections and it helped with the ceiling lights but the reflections through our large windows is a pain. I ended up purchasing the 77" S95D for my main room just because of how it handled reflections and lights when I was in bestbuy. I almost bought the s95C last year but glad I waited for the S95D. When I saw the reflections in store on the G4 it made me think I would be dealing with the same issues most gloss tv screens face. Thought I prefer the image processing on the G4 over the S95D ill wait until LG comes out with their updated OLED technology which incorporates hybrid blue pholed into their OLED tvs. How long will it take? Who knows but that'll be my home theater tv whenever it comes out.
Legit looks like a beast, this may be teh tv I get for me sim racing needs. It will be purely for my gaming and will be right on my rig/cockpit.
That would be an amazing use case my friend
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY what about the g4 though 😉. Something I'm finding is oled strains my eyes more. I guess the pwm modulation? That human eyes can't see but I'm realizing that sometimes I wish I had led purely for less eye strain and head fatigue. Something alot of people don't realize is that some users can't use oled of any kind due to that.
So I'm back and forth on this. Led? Qd oled? Regular oled? Dangit to many choice and all good!
I love my a95l for my movies and TV for watching and even gaming but I want something purely for spending tons of time on literally within a foot to 2 feet of my face lol. On my rig/cockpit.
Is amazing s95d from Spain. Review fantastic. Great job!
First video i see in a bright natural light room of this TV, which is my situation at home. I never looked to buy oled, because during the day my living room is bright. Direct sunlight can't hit my TV directly, but the room is bright. The S95D 77" is on my number one spot to replace my 65" samsung 9QFN around black friday vs samsung 75" QN95D.
Those matte haters are so annoying. There is only one TV like that on the market and the haters want to kill it so desperatly, taking away the only option for those ppl with bright rooms, who reall need a TV like this. Honestly whats the matter with you? Just STFx
If you have a bright room then don't use OLED. it's not designed for it.
@@gopherfan118 s95d is qOLED and it is bright enough otherwise a matte finish wouldnt be possible
Samsung matte been awful 2019-2023 so it’s ok people are upset how it got downgraded from Q9FN from 2018.
Not seen S95D in real and I have to say this looks interesting.
@@Cruelladevil79 yes take a look and see the S95D, watching displays on yt is one thing, reality sth else
@@gopherfan118 I have a bright room that gets dark at night... 🤔
Thank you for the great videos! I like to think that I'm somewhere between a simp and a HT enthusiast, so I was really hesitant with the S95D due to all the YT reviews. But I just upgraded from a 77" S89C to a S95D, and WOW I was floored. I don't care what anyone says, this is the perfect TV for a multi-use room. I have an open concept great room with 20ft windows and sheer blinds. This TV looks amazing and IMO much better than the S89C during the day and EVEN during night time. The increased brightness and highlights are incredible on the 3rd gen panel, and I don't see any loss of contrast or raising of blacks (at least compared to S89C with reflections). What was surprising to me, was the lack of reflections actually amplifies the wow factor, because all your focus is now on how incredible the contrast and image depth is. For anyone hesitating on TESTING this TV out in your bright room, do it, you will be simply floored. Another factor for me was the 77" S95D is cheaper in Canada, it was only $3400+tax CAD through Samsung (only $500 more than what I paid for the S89C) and came with Samsung Buds Pros.
Excellent comment and anylsis my friend! Thank you!
Mass appeal right there. That’s why Samsung pushes as much product as they do. Thanks B
Always amazing to see you G! Much love my friend
But why do it in the highend tho. Its gonna more than likely pull enthusiast away
@@dante19890 I don’t have the numbers, but I’m gonna guess the QD OLEDS are a small share of sales. As good as they are, I think this might make em more main stream
Great video Brian. Very informative and useful.
Thank you so very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed
Thank you, Brian. I had already seen enough to know the matte screen doesn't affect the image quality in a negative way by the time this video came out.
But your analysis and video here further cements my perception as you had a ton of quality time with it.
As i said before, the G4 is a monster, but my set of eyes are in love with Quantum Dots for gaming. For better or worse, just how my mind has been whipped up so far.
That said. I appreciate all your work once again. You provide an amazing analysis, and i respect your insights to a high degree.
Thanks again!
My absolute pleasure! I'm so glad that my videos were able to help you. I'm some small way. Thank you so much for being here.
Looking to buy A95L or S95D. My question is which QD OLED has better color pop?
I love your videos…I don’t think the vast majority think your “bought” by these companies, just passionate about many tvs😀 keep up the mini led coverage, as that’s what I’m looking for this year, qn800d
I truly appreciate that my friend! I will definitely cover the 800D my friend. I have a short of it on the channel. Please check it out.
Sure you lose a bit of vibrancy, but it's easier on the eyes, and you forget about reflections completely. The tech is amazing. Another great video, thx.
Excellent comment and anylsis my friend. Thank you for watching!
Nice video. I'm actually impressed with that coating. I guess the same rollercoaster feelings as Brian 😄
Man this video was amazing I even rewatched some segments. Wonderful just wonderful what you explained to us! You made my choice much harder now I'm considering this tv, s90c and g4. Of course price will be the major factor but if I can get it for like around 2k euros I'll likely get it.
Oh yeah also super happy that they fixed one connect box (at least I hope so) Can't wait for the battle between it and g4!
Oh yeah and I would add show us DV content on it vs g4 please. It's a big deal for a lot of us
So glad you enjoyed my friend. For me the G4 and S95D is on another level. The S90C is an excellent value . LG has the best Dolby Vision implementation in the business. They also have a new Dolby Vision Filmaker mode preset. I'll definitely show it when u see the 83" next week. Thank you so much for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thank you my friend for making my day better!
@PetrucciIbiza the pleasure is mine my friend! Have a great day!
I ordered the s95S in 77" a few days ago. Look forward to seeing how it handles my dark basement home theatre. I have very little in terms of reflection sources usually, but do have a light strip at the back of the room for some ambient lighting (Govee). My LG Oled CX is a mirror, and occasionally it will show a very clear reflection of that light strip. Hoping the S95D takes care of that tiny issue
I have the S95D 55 and I love it. Amazing TV especially after calibration
Hello your opinion for 95 d. I am curious when is dark and night i dont loose real black like in oled 95 c model because of matt? I know it is on bright little more gray but is not problem for day watching... i was thinking before neo qled but oled even better i think overall.
@jadranpetesic144
I have had it for several months now in a pretty much pitch-black home theater, and the blacklevels are at least as good as they were on the regular Oleds I had before
@@rolandrohde thanks for fast answer... my doubt was when you compare at night time is like others oled same real black color because of matt tehnology. On day time i understand it looses some black because of that. Thanks again..
@jadranpetesic144 I also have Sony A95L and I was thinking the same thing about the black level lost because of the Matte screen. Honestly, it looks amazing and I actually love the Matte screen now. I think the s95D has better colors also than my Sony A95L and it's brighter
Just wow 😲😳
Great video and great explanation, thank you! Quick question...its a bit difficult to understand how detailed the s95d is versus other models? Can you answer this....?
Thanks for the content Brian... appreciate the shootout you and FOMO did a few days back. Granted, it was Filmmaker most of the way (not my bag tbh), but it was a balanced and detailed analysis. Great watch!. "matte'-gate' has been put to bed (for now at least). I was really looking forward to this one my friend and it didn’t disappoint! No long message this time... just a 'hi' and 'thanks' for the great content 👍
Keep them long, my friend! Filmaker mode is not my thing either😂😂 which is why I kept fighting it on our stream! Always great to see you!
I saw that too, Brian! You speak for the masses
Awesome review, Brian!
I can get the S95D for almost half the price of LG G4 but I am worried that the matt coating makes it significantly worse in a dark room.
th-cam.com/video/PBbD6tqnY1U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u56PpZXHydjUJGXp this is how it behaves in a dark room vs last years best TV my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY wow, don't know how I missed this awesome video. Thanks again Brian!
@kasramoghaddam1389 my pleasure my friend!
He definitely has its place and its use case I see it as a great OLED alternative for a living room TV LG G4 I see is like an amazing movie room TV four bedroom TV
Have miss it , off to work 😢😢😢 the better half I’m sure will be checking in…have great evening BRIAN ,,,,,👍
Thanks for making this video.
My pleasure, thank you for watching it.
I don’t know why I like this tv so much. I shouldn’t, but I do 😂
You and me both😅😅
Hey Brian, Great video. You have convinced me with this video. If Samsung offered Dolby Vision I would definitely get this TV.
Dolby vision just isn’t important anymore. HDR10+ is just as good. You really wouldn’t know the difference
Every manufacturer except lg has troubles with dv so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that Samsung doesn’t have dv.
@@garrettstrutz7421 But very little content is made with HDR10+, and we have a lot of content made with Dolby Vision HDR. So although HDR10+ is likely as good as Dolby Vision HDR we are still missing the ability to watch content made with Dolby Vision HDR as Samsung will only use the HDR10 version that is also available for TVs that do not support Dolby Vision HDR.
I just took my LG G4 back and bought S95D and honestly, the S95D is better. HDR Content looks better and more vibrant. The overall image quality is a tie except for the color volume. Sports and gaming are amazing on S95D. I was questioning the matte finish, but now I actually love it. It looks different in your house than at Best buy
Awesome comment! I'm so glad you are enjoying the S95D! Thank you for watching!
It really does look different on its own. It was made to stand alone.
When will there be a 83 inch QD-OLED?
I am waiting for a Black Friday deal and I am going to pick this rig up. I am a huge fan of Samsung electronics, not appliances, but the electronics.
Man, you may have changed my mind on the matte screen since my main TV is in the living room. Now we just need a flagship in the BIG sizes. 😁
Being that the S95D's third-generation QD-OLED technology itself beats so much from the past, I think Samsung should consider manufacturing two versions of the 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch S95D--the one with the matt screen, and one with a glossy screen. I can't think of a better way to expose ALL the strengths and weaknesses of glossy and matt than when using the same panel BEHIND both screen types.
100% agreed! Excellent comment
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I made this very comment myself the other day, on the stream you had with what’s the name of that other dude-Asian guy with glasses:
Samsung should offer glossy and Matte in 55 and 65 for the S95D
funny thing is it would get even brighter with a glossy panel, cuz some of the light output will get refracted against the matt coating from the inside
Brian, was able to see the Q95D at bestbuy the other day. It looks different then the other TVs as every other tv on the show floor, except for the Samsung frame are glossy. IMO I can see why someone would like this matte finish but I think the vast majority of people would prefer a glossy screen. Myself included. It’s great that we have the option. I felt the S95D felt more cinematic as a movie theater screen is obviously not glossy.
Helpful video. Thanks.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thanks Brian
Thank you as always Craig!!
I started watching you Brian due to Vincent (HDTVTEST), Stop the FOMO, Gaming Tech, Plasma TV For Gaming, and some other youtubers, because I have had OLED TVs since 2016 but never had time to talk about them or show them myself over the years. But I do love OLED Gaming, I can can now fix any broken HDR PC game which most people can't do which I have learned in the recent years, but what is very interesting with your videos is how you are completely honest, we share the same interests and you also know what you talk about and you share many good tips which is superb, anyone who can do that deserves a sub and support.
About the QD-OLED S95D: For me most important is that it keeps the blacks in dark room, if it raises a single bit, its not worth buying, regardless how bright it gets!
Looks great Brian! I would love to borrow it and put it next to mine. Im sure it would convince me to stamp on my one...
I just love the glossy screen
So do I my friend . Thank you for watching
I hope there are many bright and colorful game scenes.
Colorful scenes from gow ragnarok, ghost of tsushima, last of us2, forza horizon5.
Deadspace and Resident Evil 4 are sufficient for the shadow detail verification game.
I hope the above games are included as a must.
Nice work, Brian. The anti glare screen doesn't bother me....but have to see the Sony Bravia XR90 and then decide. There's a reason Sony went with miniLED instead of Samsung Display QD-OLED for 2024.
To me this tv is a godsent. My tv is opposite a couple of glass doors that lead to my garden. With all other tvs i see my garden reflected in the tv. Not sure if creators intent always inclides images of my garden.
With s95d i have slightly lifted blacks in the most extreme of circumstances but my garden stays where it belongs)
Thanks Brian. This helps. I have been wanting an old but my family room has a lot of windows. I have the 2018 QLED which has great color but still get reflections. This may just do the trick as mirror images in my content does bother me.
So glad you found the video helpful my friend
Coming from a S95B 55". Mostly for PC 4090 gaming. I got an S95D. Can't decide if I like it. Something about it just doesn't wow me. Should I try a G4? Worried the loss of color going from qd Oled to woled is real. Thoughts?
I have a s95b for gaming too, and would like to know your thoughts vs the G4 if you get it
@@Enzel02 I have a G4 waiting for me to pick up at Best Buy. I will grab it this week to try out.
@@tracyfox1892 thats great, It would be nice too see how does It compare to the S95b
@@Enzel02 I spent some time with the G4. I have it setup near my S95D. The S95D appears brighter. The S95D colors are a big leap over the G4's. Not to say the G4 looks bad at all. I had Abyss 4K running on them both at the same time on a 4K bluray player. I thought the S95D looks better overall at least on that movie. For 4K HDR gaming I tried Cyberpunk and Diablo 4. Again, the colors for the Samsung are better. G4 still looks good but it just can't reach QD oled colors. Where the G4 pulls ahead is in how sharp the game image looks. Details come out on the screen I don't see on the S95D. The G4 makes it feel like you have a higher pixel density then what a 55" screen really really is. And that can matter if you are using it as a PC monitor and are sitting fairly close at a desk like I do. So it is not an easy win for either.
Hello Brian 🤘🏼
My first year not test TVs since 2015 and busy year with moving country, sort court case with my daughter which was taken away in 2010 being denied dna for 13 years, yes, pretty long and fucked up story belonging in a book or movie.
But too the point as we had some nice discussions in past and I love your content as I always say.
I am going tomorrow look at TVs (live now in Brazil) and I been a little torn about S90C as I don’t know the firmware and how the S90/95D is in Brazil concerning qd oled.
Samsung support could not give my fiancé an answer if it was qd oled or woled which is important for me after over 13000 hours use on S95B without the slightest image retention and looked like day 1 when I gave it too my brother, honestly would love to keep it but hard travel the world with. 😊
I am a gamer but will be used a little more with series now but gaming been my area pretty much through life give and take when I messed around in my youth. 😊
I know roughly the chance of problems with OCB but willing to do that as it be bad luck and can be sorted.
This year for first time I’m a little off with 2024 TVs so I will ask you what you recommend?
I know camera ding show full truth so I need to go with what your opinion is if you manage see the message.
You think the S90C is a risk get 14xx firmware?
Do you think S95D is a better buy in general for my use?
I got a rather boring eye when it comes to screens and gaming, it looks nice in dim room as well bright? How you think it compares too S95B/S90C in dim and light?
Almost convinced myself with S90C but firmware and buy tv so late is a gamble I never done and now with 14xx a little worried.
Is S95D universal qd oled as far you know?
Sorry for so many questions, just keep it short if you got the time to answer, just don’t want to mess up.
So much money blown on the moving and yesterday needed a plumber and toilet which was not in calculation. 🤣
Looking for a 65” by the way this year until we sorted all things we need.
Thanks brother, hope all is well and I keep watch some more videos so I catch up on your work. 🙏
Thanks a lot. You are the best. Why is a channel like quantum tv saying that calbration is needed for the s95d? Is it really worth spending 5 dollars if not needed...hope you can help.
Thank you for the kind words my friend. The S95D is excellent. Thank you for watching
Don't buy from Quantum. His settings are completely wrong.
I haven't had a new TV since the Samsung KS800. Now I'm so interested in the LG G4 and one of the newer Samsung. What midel would go head to head or even better than G4 on the Samsung side? Any suggestions?? Thanks
When you watch TV, your eyes are focused on the screen. The reflections are at a much farther distance, so your eyes will not be focused on them. That's why I believe that we can get away with reflective screens most of the time. If I watch Mandalorian during the day, I feel like I am one of the characters on the screen! But most of the time, most of the content I watch is bright enough that I never see reflections. My concern with the matte finish is that what would normally distant reflection that I'm not focused on will now be at the surface of the screen. Which is better, which is worse?? In my new home that I'm not in yet, my money is on the matte finish. I'll let you know in a few months if I made the right choice. Another thing that sealed my decision, is that I'll be using a retractable acoustically transparent screen that will occasionally be rolled down in front of the TV. I think the matte finish will help greatly in preventing reflections from the projector.
Thanks Brian my main two viewing areas at home is surrounded by windows with alot of uncontrollable light so this is no doubt the best choice me plus I need to upgrade over my 2015 samsung 3D tv.
La verdad... muchas gracias ahora considerade el s95d al fin y al cabo es un televisor aceptare el matte, aun asi quisiera un supper matte con las ventajas de glossy 😃
I have my G2 in my basement and it’s great down there and it will most likely get replaced by the 83” G4 or 85” QN900D at which point the G2 will get moved to my bedroom instead of the main floor living room where I have a QN90B. The only tv I’d consider getting next for my main floor living room is the 77” S95D.
Great video, Brian.
Thank you so much John!
At least Samsung to their credit are doing something to make a matte coating better and improving them which they have achieved here. It is the "best" matte coating to date.
However, I still think for a flagship TV such a coating (any coating) should be optional for those who want it with the default being full gloss for maximum clarity in a controlled viewing environment.
Hi! Would you get the Best Buy extended warranty with the S95D for ~25% of the price? Thanks for all the work!
Hi Brian, I’m late to the show with watching this review but I’m feeling a lot better about my purchase! I’ve got the S95 still in the box waiting to be installed and was wondering if I should have got the G4. Do you or anyone know if the box dropout is still an issue? I’ve just subscribed to the channel and will have to play catchup.
Great content 👍👍
Hello Richard! Welcome to the community and family. I love the G4 but it's a wrgb oled. The S95D is a 3rd generation QD-OLED and is truly the future. What i liked about it since this video has only grown . There are also not reported the drop out issues that plagued the S95C. Enjoy your new TV my friend.
Again thanks for the video and reply, all the best. Cheers
@richardl4376 the pleasure is mine my friend
Thanks Brian! Is the screen on the 83a80l different from the 65a80l?
The A80L at 83" is perhaps a bit more glossy. The body is different on the 83" . It has the heatsink and A90J Master series chasis.
Hey Brian. Best Buy and Visions in Canada right now hava the 77" S95D 33% off. We don't even have the G4 available yet. I have had my eyes on the A95L and G3/G4 for the most part, but this deal seems pretty crazy. The S95D is $4100, A95L $7000, and the G3 for $5000. I am guessing the G4 will be around $6000. I mean...that price is crazy right? There isn't a $3000 dollar difference between it and the A95L or $2000 to the G4 right? Thanks for taking the time.
After i watched so many videos on TH-cam and special thanks to your channel and fomo's and the others, there are 2 things i need to know about,
1st, is the S95D has the red color better than the almost reddish in LG g4 ?
2nd, if S95D don't have freesync or g-sync, will i lose the benefits of them for my detailed gaming experience ?
Samsung has its own signature, my friend . All I can say is that QD-OLEDs have more color. The S95D can also be made to look very accurate.
Secondly, the S95D has Freesync premium, so you're not losing VRR or any other gaming features.
I bought The Frame 2022 for the children's room. Just because he was just pretty. However, maybe not immediately, but I loved the image without reflections. So much so that I bought The Frame 2023 for the bedroom. I wanted a QN900C for the living room because it has an amazing design. Well, now I have a problem. Buy a TV that I really like or one that I love because of its lack of reflections. I mostly watch it during the day because I work night shifts. That's why I know there are others like me who also need this type of TV. Samsung may not have a great remote control or processor, but it has an amazing design.
Then you'll love the S95D . It really is the best of both worlds.
Brian question for your opinion i am.in doubt what to buy 95 c or d model. I have in room just one window mostly let say darker i watching.. d model is also good with real black like 95 c model when is dark and night time? This is doubt with me... other things i see 95 d is slightly better more brithness hdr pro better procesor 2 generation and so on... thanks i hope you answer...
The S95D is significantly better then the S95D . More in terms of processing and tone mapping. The 3rd generation QD-OLED is amazing and definitely worth it especially in a dark environment.
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY you mean better then s95 model? Even in dark room or night this real black? Of course i ask because of that black and that is why i am interested more in oled then neo qled... thanks... then s95 d better option because of also other better details on that tv?
Is the S95D the best OLED tv for AV enthusiast with dedicated Dark cinema rooms. No. Is it the best OLED tv for the AV enthusiast that needs a tv for the family living room, with big windows. Yes, without a doubt.
Hello Brian, this is Jordi from Barcelona. Thanks your fantastic video. Which one do you chose, in 65 inches , S95D or G4? Mainly for cinema and streaming platforms. I never play games, I am to old for this. Once again many thanks.By the way I have an oled Sony from 2019.
Hello Jordi. I personally still favor the LG G4 my friend. Unless you are concerned with bright room performance where the screen on the S95D I'd much better. The G4 has Dolby Vision as well and a new processor with better upscaling. G4 for the win.
Hi to All ! If you check 6:06 to 6:20 you will see halo effect on screen that it is not from outside source On 6:21 the halo is not there It seems that on some specific lightning conditions there is a strange blooming on the screen Is it the camera or the TV ? Please check and advice
Is it treu 120Hz vrr is not working on PC again like last year with this model ???
One question i have, is how does the S90D compare to the S95C?
The S95C Still beats it as the S95C was better than the S90c and the 90D and 90C are virtually the same.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Much appreciated. Thank you
I actually want the matte for a little bit of diffusion so text isn't so sharp to read and to give a little FXAA because I don't use AA on 4k. This will be my computer screen.
pulling trigger soon torn between g4 77 and s95d 77
which will u say to go with??
G4 all day every day.
S95D all day. I returned my G4 I was underwhelmed with it.
People need to understand that this TV has a use case, there are plenty enough people that don’t care for an accurate TV in bright light, they want rid of reflections and glare which the S95D does. If you don’t need the matte then buy the S90D.
Brian, how do you rate this TV in a completely dark room viewing experience vs the S95c?
I can get both at same price of 2750$ (77" size)
Worried S95D might be actually inferior in a dark room!
I play and watch in dark room, or semi-dark, no direct reflection unless its very sunny outside, but I do have blinds, yes there are some acceptable reflections, but usually when there is daytime and sunny, I am either at work or outside, not inside watching TV. So based on this information, which do you recommend, G4 or S95D?
I have previously the 65" CX, might be going for 77" which G4 and S95D both are eligible for me.
Sound bar necessary for this? Or tv sound is good?
The sound is actually pretty good. It won't take the place of a dedicated sound system or sound bar but it will be good enough until you get one
I saw the S95D in person recently and I own the S95C. I personally did not like the S95D and will have to take a hard pass on it. I would rather have a mirror appearance, because when light hits the S95D it just blows out all the colors. It’s not just the blacks, it’s everything.
Understandable my friend
does the S95D have blooming?
OLEDS don’t suffer from
Blooming
I'm almost certain this is the TV for me. I can't wait to get it home. Of course, I'm waiting until BF.....I need a deal.
You won't be disappointed my friend
Just got this tv looks amazing with dynamic setting. However the calibrates mode looks washed out anyone know why?
The filmaker and movie modes are made to look most accurate. Try tweaking those presets and you can bring them to life. They can look very bland on their own
I’m about 98% of the way to pulling the trigger on this one.
Great in the light, better in the dark. Just don’t understand the negativity around this one.
I’m hoping to be “gob smacked” soon enough 😅
It's absolutely amazing! We were all cold on it initially but it's an absolute beast! Beating the a95L in my comparison . This should seal it for you th-cam.com/video/PBbD6tqnY1U/w-d-xo.html
QD-OLEDS still cant handle direct sunlight it seems. so sad to see
i still think LG has amazing direct light performance
Thank you Brian, i still prefer the glossy screens because they do look and feel more premium
The vessel frame of the tv kinda looks cheap and big and can be very distractful compared to other tv's of this year. But none the less, matte finish is not the future of display coating. Period. Image quality and proccessing is looking good but the finish ruins when the light hits the display, you will lose alot of detail. Cant have that during gaming sessions.
What can it do Brian in terms of upscaling plus lower resolution....you continually show 4k nothing else .... what's the upscaling with 1080p
It wouldn't come through on camera Jack. Ask the other creator's to do 480p for you. I'm sure they'll accommodate your request
Good video Brian but matte finish on an OLED tv? No thanks no matter how much Samsung or people hype it.
I will take a peek my brahda😊
The joke that this TV is only great to have at a Best Buy showroom is not far from reality😅
Bought by Samsung! 😉
Clearly, the game color of the s95d is so colorful that the camera can't hold it.
Samsung OLED can only be seen in person to find out its true value.
I really wanted this tv to work. The sale price is fantastic. I actually ordered it, but kept returning to compare and eventually got a refund. The shop has the S95D above the S95C both in 77s displaying the same Samsung media video with the eggs and bunny, etc.
The way it diffuses light across the screen didn’t bother me as much as the murky blacks and lack of sharpness.
I’m a photographer and pixel peep and up close the S95C looked tac sharp while the S95D was slightly out of focus. At a distance they looked similar.
The colours looked great on the D but at all angles the black just looked off. And worse while standing to the side. It looked like someone put a drop of white in a jet black can of paint and mixed it. So close to black but just not quite there.
Totally understandable my friend! Thank you so much for sharing your personal and actual findings. Thank you for watching
Appreciate your content! I watched your video comparing this to the A95L a number of times before pulling the trigger. It’s a great tv but think I’m just too particular. Most people will likely see the upsides as worth any perceived trade offs
So Brian likes the panel but hates the finish XD
Absolutely not fair comparison, not all facing the same way😂😂😂No direct light, and it was boxed in by other tv's. It handels indirect light well.
Everybody hated the seatbelt when it came out. people hate change
This comparison is hardly like for like. The s95d is flanked on 3 sides. 2 sides by tvs and one by the wall. The only light that comes in is indirect. I recommend that you go to the store and take a look at it for yourself. You’ll have the privilege of being disappointed in person. It’s like those lcd matte finishes. Anyone who’s used that when sun is coming in will know that it’s far worse than the reflections. The matte finish scatters the light all over the screen making it completely unwatchable.
I explained and showed the settings in detail. Including the TV to it's right. The other TV'S don't even have direct sunlight. I show the TV with direct sunlight on the Screen. Thanks for watching
Anyone calling this OLED or any OLED a bright room superstar is either ignorant or lying. Even the very brightest OLED like the G4 or S95D can barely even reach a pathetic 300 nits full screen brightness. Even If a very moderate amount of the screen is meant to be bright ABL completely neuters brightness. TVs can only hit high nit specular highlights and that's it. Brightness stability is terrible and if you have even a tiny amount of natural lighting in the room they will be extremely difficult to see and very washed out looking. All OLED are very dim TVs.
Samsung loses a sale from me with S95D. Not because of the matte coating. In my environment it would have zero problems.
But they lose out to LG G4 because 5 year panel warranty and LG has their best processing on the G4. Samsung messed up with these things. I would have to buy a best buy warranty. In Canada that would cost me $1500+ tax on a 77" S95D. And it last 4 years. Starting to see the problem why they lose.
Less processing the 900D got the best, S95D basically the same as last year give or take. But I would have to pay ~$1600-1650 more for the S95D. Hell no.
The G4 looks more "fun" this year, more 3d effect, better processing, fixed gaming issues and so on.
But I am still waiting for Sony MiniLED and it's performance before I bite the bullet on that or G4.
You can get this for $3550 from Visions plus $670 for 5 year warranty. Certainly fhe cheapest flagship tv.
That said I returned mine before it arrived as i kept returning to the shop to compare it with the glossy S95C and it just didn’t look as good.
Figured if I’m going to have the tv for 5+ years I don’t want to compromise
@samr7537 are you liking your new S95D, I am from Canada looking to buy . I have bright lit room. Also, how long is one connect box? 6 ft or below? Wanted to wall mount tv. Appreciate you help!
I honestly returned it. I think I tried to justify it due to its great sale price but at the end of the day the picture just didn’t impress as much as the S95C/sony A95L/G3/G4 etc.
I’m not sure if I made the wrong decision, I’m really on the fence about it. G3 let alone G4 for example will never come close to that price Yeah, about 6’ cable.
@@samr7537Appreciate your response. The price really tempted to me buy. Currently, I have QN90B65inc so thinking to upgrade 75 or 77inc tv. After your response I will hold off buying for now
@@samr7537 Appreciate your response! I got tempted to price drop of New Samsung TVs. so still thinking to buy or hold off for now. Currently, I owned QN90B65 inc still loving this TV bought this tv based on Brain, Fomo reviews. Looking to upgrade to 75 or 77inc no ideas on OLED tech
bruh I just bought A95L 77
The A95L is one of the best TV'S on the planet! I compare the A95L 77" to this S95D. th-cam.com/video/PBbD6tqnY1U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u56PpZXHydjUJGXp the A95L has better processing and is more detailed. Check out it and feel better about your decision
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY lmao thanks fam
Smash a like people!
Thank you so much!!
I don’t get the hype for Samsung TV’s. To me the colors look exaggerated and cartoonish and the one Samsung tv I owned had horrible connection issues. I ve looked at the lg c3 next to the Samsung s95c in Best Buy and I think the lg looks way better. Plus their largest oled is 77 inches and I need (want 🤣) bigger for my living room
Shill alert! 🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅😅😅troll alert!
