in this day and age it's crazy that Samsung doesn't do Dolby Vision. Kind of a deal breaker for me.
Bought mine 65" for 1750$. Hope it’s worth it
Does anybody know if the gaming brightness issue has been fixed in an update yet?
LED ZEP II LP IN THE BACKGROUND…SWEET!
Did the Dynamic Tone Mapping in game mode got fixed?
I just got the 65 inch for $1800
I got my answer not to buy it on minute 5:50. That is probably the most important thing in any TV use.
Dead on ballz
Jeez this TV is a bargain right now. Just picked it up for a grand with a Watch5 Pro, which I can sell for about £250. Just gotta wait until next week for delivery.
its an unwritten rule that anyone over the age of 30 STOP SAYING THINGS ARE FIRE so damn cringe
BEST TV . . . PERIOD
Already down to nearly half it's original price a $1799 for the 65"
Thank you for sharing your fantastic review on the Samsung S95B. Decided to wait, finally upgrade my old 2004 Toshiba Regza (120Hz refresh rate) LCD "42. It was the best LCD back when LCD TVs were coming of age. Abet, very still heavy ( 66.2 lbs. with stand). Finally ordered the "55 Samsung S95B. It had the best "overall" OLED TV rating in state of the art quality & performance, after searching extensively on the internet for best rated OLED TVs in 2022. Looking forward to this fine upgrade. Timing couldn't be more perfect. Cheers. 💯
Anyone know if that gaming issue got updated?
No Dolby Vision 🙄
I bought this. The menu is an everyday disaster. Falls asleep in about 3 minutes when paused. It turns on the 4k player even if you chose tv in the menu. A third of the buttons on the remote are corporate greed buttons…all buttons very sensitive, bump a c.g. button & you get to stop watching what you want & deal with their intrusion. The whites switch back/forth between white & cream. Could go on & on. Keep looking at other tvs before buying this one.
$1449 and $1799 for the 55"/65" respectively on Samsung's web site right now. I fell like I should buy this immediately, period. Replacing a Sony KDL-55W900A 3D which was north of $2k.
Which of the following would you recommend base on the deal and quality? Samsung QN65QN90B $1,462.49. Samsung QN65QN95B $1,797.00 and Samsung QN65S95B $1,693.60. Thanks
I’m commenting on multiple S95B videos. I’ve seen enough of these videos to agree there is definitely a problem with bent panels, and I was sweating it as I picked up my S95B from Best Buy on Nov 10, 2022. I am happy to report that my panel does to have any visible bends or curves (whew). The sticker on the back indicates my panel was manufactured Oct 2022. I was prepared to return it immediately if the panel showed any problems in the shape.
Did they ever resolve the tone mapping gaming issue with a firmware update?
This is the most ugliest remote I've ever seen. User interference could be better. Not showing any aps etc. Why Samsung cannot copy LG with their remote or even do something simmilar.
I wonder why Samsung waited so long to start making OLED TV's? They have a lot of experience with OLED on their smartphones.
On another review it stated that you have to plug in your DVD player to a receiver for it to work on this TV. Thoughts?
I just need a 77inch version
This is right in my wheelhouse cause I definitely don't know my nits from my knuckles.
What's your choice between this one and QN95B? Thanks
Seems hard to justify 2200 when the C2 is 1500. Is it that much better?
Hello,i have the S95B, can you please tell me if i can get better ethernet speed on my tv,any usb to ethernet adapter that works with this tv,or any other workaround?
Samsungs are not lasting Tv's and Sony wins
The biggest issue with any Samsung TV is that they do not support Dolby Vision which is quite a few times better than HDR and HDR+. Also, Samsung TVs do not have a great sound as Sony and LG do.
Samsung doesnt have dolby vision so its just an automatic no from me
Why don’t reviewers show SDR when they’re saying it sucks? Pretty annoying, we’d like to see what you’re seeing.
I wish to have this tv but am gonna wait to the next series . When you think it might be released? 2023? Jan. or feb.?
Has the problem with the washed out picture been fixed with an update?
I bought today for 2400 euros : SAMSUNG TV QD OLED QE65S95B + gift Soundbar HW-Q800B + 500 euros gift certificate = Do you think I did well?
What TV stand are you using?
I loved the picture quality. However, after a month of using it I got on the top of the tv a red line that would not disappear. I contacted warranty department,returned it got another one and 9 maybe I’m unlucky 😅because after three weeks dit wouldn’t work anymore. Return it an got a Sony. I miss the tv because the beautiful picture. Maybe next year a better luck.
This TV has to be the greatest TV since the 75 inch models from the 2000s.
Would you consider this is better than the lg g2/c2
Hi all, I don't suppose any of you know if Dolby Vision could be added via a software update if Samsung and Dolby resolve their differences? Or would it need some hardware to be changed to support?
OLEDs are lifeless… come at me…
Update on the gaming issues?
Samsung is heavily discounting this tv. Why? 1) It's a beta version in a sense, small production run, there are some reported issues with build quality, and barely any marketing, like their first attempts at folding phones. 2) Dolby vision missing. I don't care about hdr or dv personally, outside of games it'S a curse, but a lot of people do. 3) Itis 1st gen, imagine you had paid 5K for a 1st gen oled, with all the issues. We don't know what the long term issues are yet. 4) handling/cleanup of 1080 or 720 content is subpar. This is a big deal for a lot of people. I have a tcl mini led, it's terrible at upscaling lower quality content compared to sony or lg, the processing isn't nearly as good. if i could pick up a 55 s95 for less than an lg c1, i would give it a try, probably with an extended warranty.
I suffered through issues with a 65" Samsung Q9 that Samsung thankfully issued a refund only to have even worse issues with a 65" Q90 (DSE, and color). After 5 months of dealing with the extended warranty company (CPS) who passed the issue on to Samsung, I was lucky to have Samsung once again refund me for the purchase. After reviews such as your's Caleb, along with KG's comparison to the C2 and Stop the FOMO, I decided to give Samsung one more try and bought the S95B from Costco (which through in additional warranty coverage adding up to 5 years) and just WOW! The S95 65" picture is fantastic. Highly recommend this TV to anyone, and buy from Costco if you have a membership to get the extended warranty for the same price as most retail outlets sell it for. I need to get a new Blu-Ray player to enjoy 4K, but everything we have streamed has been such a joy to watch now.
I've got the Samsung q80b, is this worth the upgrade / extra cost?
it actually looks like you had your side woman dress you today. please try on all on all your videos otherwise you look like one of those guys that lives under a tarp in PDX.
I wonder if the bent issue is common for this product, anyone knows it?
I saw this TV in a showroom. My jaw literally dropped. This TV is amazing engineering
Should I buy the qn95b because I want the one connect box, or should I wait for Samsungs qd-oled 77 inch models next year, what do you think I should do, S95b or qn95b?
I got this tv and it works great. I noticed a lot of reviewers have received the tv with bent screens. Mine looks good but I did check the screen for bends using a piece of thread. I found about 116 inch of curve when checking the ends of the screen and the top. I was surprised that Samsung recommended returning the tv. Should I return it for such a small amount of curve? I just feel that none are perfect flat and I may end up with a worse one plus it’s a 2 hour drive to Bestbuy and they do not have this tv right now. Any suggestions? Without a string you can’t tell the screen is curved slightly.
