Samsung - 65" Class S90C OLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV

I returned my LG C2 when I went into BestBuy and saw the picture on the Samsung S90C. The picture you get with the QD-oled is so much brighter and vibrant than what you can get from a regular oled tv. The picture is bright and great when you have a room with a lot of light. The colors on this thing just pop. I took the S90C home before I returned the LG so I had a couple of days to compare the 2 side by side. I was worried because the Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision. I watched a few Dolby Vision movies on the Lg (which supports Dolby Vision) and the Samsung. I do not feel like anything looked better on the LG. I had both Tv's settings on filmmaker mode. A couple scenes looked a little different but in my opinion not better with the Dolby vision supported tv. I did like the Lg's webos better than the Samsung's Tizen but with the picture I get on the Samsung I can deal with it. The LG is a awesome tv but this one is just on another level. Even my wife loves it. She usually doesn't care or comment on things like that. She told me she has to watch all her favorite shows over again because of how much more detail she sees on this tv. I play PS5 on this a lot and it is great for gaming. No lag and again the colors just pop. I did have a problem with getting the Samsung TV plus app to work. I found that if you change the dns setting to 8.8.8.8 it works fine. Another nice thing is this tv has smart calibration and you can calibrate it with your android or ios phone. I'm not sure how accurate it is but it did make a noticable difference and the picture looks great. As far as the sound, It is pretty good for tv speakers. The Lg did sound a little better in my opinion. The sound on the samsung is good enough for what we watch. Some may want a soundbar , but for me I don't think it's needed. The panel is thin, almost too thin. I was nervous when moving the tv. The solar powered remote is nice. No more looking for AAA batteries. You can also charge it with a usb-c cable. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the Tizen system. It can be a little slow at times. I noticed that it was really slow when downloading and using the apps for the first time. It seems to load the apps quicker now.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this OLED TV and I have not been disappointed. Pros: Outstanding Picture, Black is absolutely black, the colors are vibrant (as you would expect from a OLED screen and the entire reason for buying one), Remote Control is rechargeable via USB C cable or solar (yes that is nice). Lots of Smart TV Content including the Samsung Channel. You can set up the TV to return to the previous content when you power ON the TV, a nice feature that works most of the time (Youtube TV has it's issues, but that is the Youtube TV app, not the TV). Example: Watching Pluto Stargate channel, power off the TV, power on the TV the following day, Pluto comes back up to the Stargate channel. I was impressed with the overall sound quality, minus a few cons listed below. Back to the picture quality, the brightness is very good, I actually do not notice much of a difference from my previous TV. Cons: Very small remote (just like a Fire Stick remote), and few buttons. The remote Volume Up/Down and Channel Up/Down buttons are short toggle up/down switches and if you accidentally press the Volume straight down, it mutes the TV. Larger fingers will find this difficult to hold and use. I do not like the remote. I have an older Samsung remote control that has a ton of buttons and is easy to physically use, and I have easy access to features that I'd otherwise have to jump through a few screens using the original remote. So the remote is a con for me, skinny fingers will probably like it. The screen thickness is flimy, easy to bend even though the back is made of a metal sheet. There are special instructions on how to handle this screen, otherwise you can break the display so my advice, use two people and follow the instructions. So it's not very rugged is my point. I would rather have a slightly thicker screen that was more ridged to resist damage. Moving this TV with one person, while I did do it (and I'm 62 years of age), it was difficult due to the weight and flimsy screen. The audio, while most of the time is fine, will often drop to a whisper level. This becomes irritating when a movie starts out at a comfortable level and then you are straining to hear some scenes. Audio "Auto Level" does not appear to work very well, at least for me. My previous TV never had this issue and I'm watching the same type of content. Maybe it's a Dolby Atmos issue? I dropped the audio from 5 starts to 4 stars for this issue, otherwise when you can hear it, the sound is very good. You have some bass which is nice, but don't get carried away, it's not a theater audio system. Keep expectations real. If you have never owned an OLED TV before and are use to an LCD TV, it will take a little getting use to the vibrant colors. If you really examine the human skin tones, they look remarkably accurate. All the other colors are great too, but again, it takes a little getting use to. I have been watching older movies just to be amazed at all that I missed with my older TV's. Just blows your mind. And the disclaimer: If you are not someone who can appreciate this kind of quality picture, I do not recommend you spend your money on this TV. You can by other good quality LCD TV's for less than a third of this TV cost. I have had this TV for about a month now and I'm very impressed overall. I highly recommend this TV model.
