Actually, high end/mid-range Samsung TVs (except a few lower end Q series inm) from 2021 (or even 2020s) already support HDR10+ via AV1 video decoding. It's a matter of when/if Samsung wants to enable for older devices.

2025 models are a given of course.

Hopefully they come soon. Will be a dick move by samsung if it's stuck only for 2025 TVs

anyone with a Samsung S90 or S95 ?

in my use case, I'll be putting this TV in the bedroom to replace a 2022 Samsung The Frame, one special thing I liked about Frame is that it hardly had any reflection when powered off most likely due to the matt screen. because I have some LED lights from aircond/air purifier/phone charger and not having them reflect off the screen when sleeping is really a game changer.

I know the S95 has the same matt screen as the Frame but honestly not really willing to spend that extra based on every review that place S90 above S95 in price vs features. Unfortunately I don't stay in a major city so no chance to view these 2 screens in my local showrooms.

haven't been able to find any review that shows clearly what the screen of S90 or S95 looks like when powered off ....

iinm the S90 and S95 screen is just anti reflective, not fully matte like the frame

the S95D has the same Matte screen.
the S90, on the other hand don't .


The S90 carried on with Samsung's dominance in the anti-glare category and it is very good at supressing glares at minimal cost of contrast ( but nowhere near any matte screen ) , the S95D on the other hand is the best at suppressing direct reflection at severe cost of perceived contrast , it sounds like you will want the later .

S90D : fight glares and ambient lights , best in muting the luminance of reflection


S95D : completely scatter and blur out the directly reflected object , but because the lights are scattered evenly on the surface , perceived contrast is reduced.


Do kindly compare these shots , courtesy of rtings.

These are new as rting has recently revamped their review format because of this. I was just talking to a few other guys the other day , these new numbers provided by rtings confirmed our suspicion that colors on QD OLED are still far superior than LG OLEDs even under disturbance of ambient light and matte screen. Someone has been paying reviewers , surprising because its not Samsung this time as they are usually the perpetrator.

I think using blue emission layer instead of white oled light layer is the best thing that ever happen to display tech.

Just looking at the wRGB vs QD-OLED spectral power distribution, the Green and Red hump is very separated to each other and "far" more precise. Unlike wRGB, green does not have a clear separation from Blue hump. This already indicate a clear purity on all 3 RGB for QD-OLED. Don't even need to start talking about "uniformity" yet.

Just wondering what model is this?

That's why having competition is great for consumers.
Before the QD OLEDs, there was barely any upgrades on the annual OLED refreshes. Sure there are some minor features here and there but those are not exactly big differences.


I watch a lot of classics and shows. Many which are poorly mastered, which means the black levels are all over the places. On the wOLED because it gets chaotic quickly because of the dithering they used to conceal those artifacts.
It became a major distraction after awhile. I still couldn't believe how smooth things look on the QD OLED, that's what convinced me QD OLED is the definitive upgrade to the wOLEDs.

Given that a large number of sci-fi, horror shows have low APL, these QD OLED made a huge difference. Just play one of the game of thrones episodes, that should be enough to convince anyone.


That's why I am also quite pleased to hear Sony is continuining its QD-OLED line up and I can't see what they cooked up this year !
According to their press briefing , the Bravia 8 II is supposed to be more affordable than A95L.

I already had a brief look at S95F last month from Samsung's AWE, quite a significant improvement over S95D.

I feel the exact same. Somehow old/new SDR movies look and feel so much more "polished and refined" on my S95B (even though "full screen SDR" brightness is not exceptionally great, but still...) than my LG, less grainy, less noise and artifacts on dark scenes.

There are times I was thinking "Wow, my TV remaster this old movie to become "fake HDR-like" (obviously not HDR) probably because less banding/more uniform to begin with + I always watch movies in the dark/close to dark...., so smooth and pleasant to look at the overall PQ. Recently I am on Quentin's movies streak, rewatching some old movies like reservoir dogs, pulp fiction etc

Yes I am excited too Sony is continuing the QD-OLED line. Finally... But then 65" Bravia 8 OLED already RM9999 on Sony store (maybe cheaper by 1-2k during sale?), how much more affordable can the Bravia 8 II be?

I read the review by Phil Hinton. One thing to note, S95F full screen measured 401 nits (for this value I think quite sufficient actually for SDR and HDR bright room viewing...) that's really a massive jump from 290 nits S95D....LG G5 with that tandem oled still can't seem to match the full screen brightness + color volume performance as indicated by Phil. Link

Given the advantages offered by QD-OLED, I really see no reason why new OLED buyer would choose WOLED over QD-OLED. Below is another example 2024 S95D vs G4. Don't talk about rec.2020 yet. G4 struggles on DCI-P3 when reaching L100.

samsung tv 2025 pricing is out...

https://images.samsung.com/is/content/samsu...NC_v2_final.pdf

Hi, I am planning to get a Samsung Crystal UHD DU7000 4K Smart TV (2024). Am I able to browse internet on the TV using browser like Chrome, Firefox, etc?

Another question, I have an external DVD player that can be plug into a laptop via USB. Can I connect the DVD player directly to the TV and run the DVD?

Thanks

I have an old 7000 series Samsung 4K smart tv. The OS doesn’t have other browsers or VPN. Apps are quite limited. I prefer android or Google tv because I can use VPN to stream movies.

Hai.anyone owns qn85d ? Is it good ?.been wtaching tons of review.still think the light blooming is bad.student pricing is crazy good now for 75 inch.want to compare vs s90d x90l bravia 7

Yes just got 65" last month, blooming is manageable which can set local dimming low standard high, for your liking.
