It's bright enough for my viewing condition and colors are definitely brighter than LG CX. The set came with FW 14XX so its already nerfed anyways. So I decided to go for FW 1602. I can do the Anapeak/MaxLux mod via SM to bring back to higher brightness but I don't want to risk it for now since it is under warranty.
I mostly use Movie Mode / FMM with custom BT2020 colorspace with peak brightness set to High. I notice movies on native netflix app with 4K HDR looks a lot dimmer overall. I have yet to play with the settings though. Or perhaps I am too used to LG CX Dolby Vision.
I then subscribe to Apple TV+ to test HDR10+. Tested 47 Ronin on 4K HDR10+ and specular highlights pop so much more (lights, reflective on the armors), colors are so much more saturated (need to get used to red being redder lol), improved shadow details a lot more over the Samsung native Netflix 4K HDR movies. Without HDR10+ it makes a lot of diff.

FMM is on stock preset with custom BT2020 colorspace. My photo taking skill is bad and the phone does not do justice. Vertical grey bar on first pic left side is due to my curtains not completely closed. But yeah overall I am very satisfied with it.
Nice review. Good tv, even for a first gen QD.
Yes, the color are vibrant especially the Red,
Don't know why nexflix app in hdr are not as bright as it should be, that the reason I've changed the SM.
Now on FMM with peak brightness off.

Hello all,
Need a little advice from all of you.
I intend to buy a 65" TV for my living room. I have somewhat shortlisted to 4 models
1. SONY X95L
2. SONY A95L
3. SAMSUNG S95C
4. SAMSUNG QN800C
Malaysia seems not having the QN900 series?
Amongst my shortlisted only #4 is 8K and the rest is 4K. Understand that currently not many sources with 8K but given that I am expecting to use this TV for the next 5 years - should I go for 8K or remain with 4K.
Any suggestion or should I even consider cheaper alternatives like the TCL 755?
Let me know your thoughts
As you have mention "Currently Not many content in 8K". That is your answer.
For my 1st choice A95L, if 💰 not a problem. Voted "Best tv for 2023" by Hdtvtest.
2nd - S95C, still an excellent choice.
3rd - S95B, (if it's still available) can save 💰 for a better sound system 😃
