I think I'll stick with my S95C another year, looks great in the light controlled man cave hooked up to my gaming PC !
It’s crazy that you have to update every year. Be content.
I had non stop black screen outages and had to return it
That’s exactly why I went with QDOLED. The G4 is still unable to hit the color depth as last years QDOLEDs and at a much higher price.
People say the difference is really that big
Matte is the new feature non enthusiasts (99%) with flagship money wants. Actually, in my opinion, ambient light alone lifted the blacks it did not need necessarily direct light as long as the ambient light is bright enough it appeared to have slightly lifted the black in visible manner.
It’s so foul.
The problem is non enthousiasts won’t buy a tv that expensive. This is why I believe this is a misstep. Yes the Frame is matte AND expensive but it’s a product you buy as a home decor type of thing, with a better wife acceptance factor.
@@vincentroy5093yep and this is why matte should be a mid-grade option instead of a high end one. If anything make the S90D matte and leave the S95D alone as glossy. This would've been a better choice for consumers.
@@volcalstone Definately that would also prevent all the enthusiasts from buying the S90D instead of the S95D like they did with the S90C (although for that they's have to fix the OCB issues).
These two TVs deserve side by side comparison in a normal living room. Anti glare screens are usually welcome but if that means less dynamic range and less vibrant colours that it is not something that some people will embrace happily ! Thus, more tests and more comaprisons are eagerly awaited ! Great first look, though !
No matter the coating if you have light hit the panel you’ll have distortion on the screen. The matte creates a hazy white flection whereas the glossy has a more mirrored look. Glossy all day.
100% agree
@@James__Smith it’s a giant office computer screen… we stare at them all day no way we wanna come home and stare at one.
☝️🤓 Actually QD-OLED are unwatchable when hit by ambient light because Quantum Dots are exited by ambient light resulting in greyish blacks with red tint... QD OLED is a different case 🤓👍
@@ameserich do you own one?
@@JBlakeS23 i do own a g8 oled and can confirm that. qd-oled turns greyish/purple under direct sunlight. I am looking forward to upgrade to the new g9 oled with the anti glare filter
Me my son who is an engineer and 2 of his engineer friends all bought a s95c and all 4 had blackouts problems , I bought A95L no blackouts , my son a g3 and his 2 friends A95L 's , if LG had this wide spread blackout problems kg you would be on there case . Samsung needs to fix that one disconnect box the heck with anti glare .Companies like lg if they have a issue the very next they fix it , Companies like Marantz, denon Panasonic actually give a dam about there customers , the one connect box has had issues for years and they want fix it .
How many months or years did the issues usually happen?
@adrees For about 3 weeks we all returned the s95c and got other tv brands
All I want is for the S90D to have low bitrate processing similar to a Sony. I don't need to be blinded by 10,000 nits. Just make it so that the actual image that the vast majority of our content is.. actually looks good. Crazy idea, I know.
Nits are everything when it comes to HDR.
@@michaeloconnor9465 I'm aware. My point was what I want in addition to what we already have. The S95C and S90C are already plenty bright. But if the processing and upscaling of streaming content looks inferior to the competition, there's really no point to a blindingly bright sun. I want the picture to look great from a $3,000 TV.. not like crap but but woohoo it has blinding highlights. Processing is everything, not nits. The nits are already fine. The processing isn't.
@@mootsym TVs at that level will have top of the line processing. I have a 65" panasonic OLED I bought in 2019 for £2200 and the processing and PQ are very good. I could do with more nits when watching HDR content. The more nits don't always means a over picture but what it does mean accurate colours and less blooming. I would like to see if these new TVs have better processing and with better shadow detail and PQ.
@@michaeloconnor9465 Not all TVs at this level have top of the line processing though. I thought it was common knowledge that LG and Samsung are behind Sony with their low bit-rate processing. What this means is an image that doesn't look like a compressed mess. This is something that Samsung is allegedly improving in 2024 with their S95D and S90D OLEDs.
I am not a fan of Samsung processing. I always found on there on there TV fast moving scenes you would get stutter. I buy either panny or Sony for their top notch processing. If you are in the US you can't get Panasonic and your only choice is Sony. I hope other manufacturers follow Samsung and use anti reflective coating. I hate reflections.
Great comparation between booth but do you have the "pop" picture settings of the S95C?..are these settings the same as the "pop"settings on the S95B you did on video?..thank you...
Tech with KG , did they Improve Processor with their QD Oleds ?
The biggest plus here imo is being easier to clean and not scratching. I just got my fist QD-OLED monitor and the top coating is ridiculously easy to scratch up. Can look up all the posts on the alienware qd oleds coming in scratched up. I had my monitor laying on a soft bed surface to apply a vesa mount and ended up scratching up the coating.
@Tech with KG Does the S95D seem a bit brighter than the C or the same ?
Lets see , I usually deeply hate Mate Finish to the core.
It's better then PC matte But there are still disadvantages and I prefer the semi glossy balance
I usually hate it too, but the matte finish on the Sam Galaxy s24 Ultra looks great! I wonder if it's the same thing
@@kpv123 no the anti reflection on the s24 is from gorila glass armour and not a coating (actually good as it won't scartch) But it's not as good as the ones on the TV's In terms of reflection
Honestly, i love the matte finish somehow. because it doesn´t look like a normal matte coating. it looks like it can maintain deep blacks for the most part and that is what matters
I agree. It is almost like a polarizer. I was noticing that too.
Look, it's great to have options, some of us love matte screens. I like to watch tv in lighter environments and I HATE reflections. I didn't pay 4K for a TV just to see my ugly face in every dark scene.
Will the s95d support DTS audio?
This is great for anyone with a tv in the living room, love the idea!
What happened to the cleaning rollers?
What colour paint code is that on the wall?
What is the name of the demo the TV's was playing?
samsung s95c 💪🏆🥇
Thanks for the demo KG, this is great news! I always found mirror reflections incredibly distracting outside of a blacked out room. The bigger the screen, the worse it gets. This was always a dealbreaker for me with OLED.
Kind of wondering at this point what the difference between the S90D and C is. I’d be happy with the same TV if it didn’t tilt towards purple in a brighter room, but I don’t think that will be the case.
Still good with my S95B from 2022. I might go for the LG G4 this year around Black Friday or the holiday season. 😊
I don't think these TV's are likely significantly better anyway. You should be perfectly happy with it for years to come. No need to keep blowing money every year.
Get blackout curtains.?Cheaper
Samsung trying the rebrand matte finish as something new. But my main gripe against glossy finishes, is that the crisp reflection is distracting, and can make you focus on the object/window being reflected instead of the picture. In my opinion this is worse than elevated blacks. And when you're already in a dark room and you litterally see yourself and couch being lit up by the screen, there is nothing you can do to remove that. (having a black blanket maybe?
if u want a bright room TV why even go with Oled. U can get a much cheaper LCD for that purpose
Those reflections like on the glossy left TV makes a TV useless. Not everyone watches TV in a dark room. Samsung understands the consumers, great work with the S95d
I would prefer to be able to choose between a glossy or a matte finish when purchasing such an expensive premium TV. If Samsung forces a matte finish on their new flagship, I'm for sure not buying it.
I always use brand new Magic Fiber cloths for my S95 C, works great
For my S95B I just use water and a micro fiber cloth. I would dab it then go in a circular motion. It could take a couple of seconds to really even it out.
on top of it being matte it seems like they didn't really do much with it which is a double no for me. I would rather the S95B or their new mini-LED with their super res A.I.. Maybe if it was Semi-Gloss It would be less ugly at the very least but I get why someone may want it, and as long as they like it who cares what I think.
My sense is that Samsung have given up already on QD OLED for televisions. Their focus seems to be on monitors for the technology.
I guess this is ok if you use your TV near a window during the day. Otherwise it's a pass, S90D is probably better and cheaper if you don't blast your screen with lights
I have a rainbow on my 2020 q90t, and it is ok because it is not in direct light. My s90c has no problem at all. Again not in direct light. Both tvs great, day or night.
If they make the 85" matte I BUY IT - too small yet / loved my FRAME but just plain LED no full-array / Awesome general image but not bright enough and bad for black bars Guess this combo is perfect
Monitors have had matte anti reflection coating a long time. It’s terrible. Now manufacturers are coming out Glossy monitors because people want glossy over matte.
FACTS
Monitors can easily be moved and are usually in darker rooms compared to brighter living room tvs. Also tv has higher brightness and don't need much focus on smaller stuffs like in monitor.
@@frankreynolds9930 You can legit do the same with TVs.
It's easy to see the difference. Nice upgrade
There should be a button where you can turn on a filter when you're in a bright room. When the room is dark you can press the button again and remove the filter and get that glossy finish.
They unlikely look much different dark room.
So for this year they only added a anti glare film? Did they do anything else with their processing or software?
processing will be nowhere Sony or LG, the G4 destroys it in depth and clarity.
@@Manuel.MedellinI will buy S95B or s95C over G4 tho .
@@Yoga_Tv_buying You will get wow'ed by the colors initially... however the Soft picture that lacks any kind of detail or depth is gonna get old soon and will annoy you long term, so you will want to upgrade to Sony or LG later on...
@@Manuel.Medellin thx friend . the will is being told , n won’t happen . :) Its like Samsung teling u :” u will initially be wow by the glossy screen , suddenly u get annoyed , n u Will flip back to Matt3 :):):)
@@Yoga_Tv_buying I would honestly just stay away from Samsung, I know their prices are tempting, but Soft picture, shitty OS, low quality build quality, tiny remote and problems with Firmware updates are the reasons to go for Sony or LG.
I am a big fan of anti glare. In my living room have two sources of glare and reflection from natural daylight and and at nigt the light source can can cause a glare and reflection. Peoples living rooms are not perfect and 99% will cause a glare and reflection from some sort of light source.
My question is. Does the color wash out a bit with the filter. Very very important
color doesn't wash out
I wonder if SONY will adopt Samsungs new panel for their next TV.
Genuine questions here as I am curious… if hypothetically, cinemas had glossy screens instead of matte, would people prefer this? (Same image quality in this hypothetical) 🤷
Great video. Very objective and factual. Some enthusiasts seem to be hysterical on this topic. When I initially "upgraded" from plasma to OLED I had to rearrange my whole living room. The glossy OLED was totally unwatchable in the afternoon when the sun peeped through whereas my supposedly dim plasma had no problem at all with light This is a common sense move by Samsung that will benefit consumers and even some reluctant enthusiasts!
Well said. Plus there are a plethora of other options if you don’t like matte.
I wonder if this will cause Samsung to lower the price of The Frame lineup?
Why is no-one talking about the brightness specs of the S95D?
People who don't love the anti-reflection like this are these who use their TVs two hours a day. If you use it for more, anti-reflection will save your eyes from strain.
I will say this, the matte finish doesn't seem as Grey as past so we shall see. Regardless glossy will always be the best on an oled imo. I still believe the reduced depth/contrast look will be there.
One question,do 42 inch s95d has matte finish?
The matte is only on their highest model this year.
There is not going to be a 42 inch s95d or any kind of QD OLED. 42 Samsung showed is a W-OLED. These are all glossy.
@@TechWithKG thx for confirming that it's only a W-OLED.
Yes im not a fan of the matt finish KG
This might push me upgrade TV. Glare was no1 thing not getting OLED.
love your channel.... What do you think about CLASSY TECH???? Is he the real deal????
Yes legit. ISF certified. Also awesome guy.
Being a projector guy, I really like this matte finish. The frame goes too far for me the other way in terms of what you give up in image quality, so this might be the sweet spot. I never really liked the shiny gloss of TV. I grew up going to the cinema pretty much every week. I even used to skip school to go to the cinema with my lunch money so there’s allot of nostalgia attached the that no reflection look for me. It’s a bit like the argument for vinyl vs digital music or movies shot on film instead of digital. It’s not always about high fidelity, sometimes it’s about the way it makes you feel because of what you’ve grown up on. It’s not a science based argument. It’s an emotional one. Fingers crossed this looks great in person 🤞so glad there are options for everyone.
For having projector…that means --U KNOW u will ONLY watch tv with Light controlled room, Dim no sun. No extreme light. It’s like IMAX movie in theater, the lights are actually very dim not Vibrant crisp. For THAT look. D ppl buy Flagship QD-OLED…that are matching IPhone 15pro brightness. They want to be able Have d flexibility of watch tv all day all night. With kids, wife , retired ppl at home. Have mutiple siblings , lights always on in living room. So they are NOT going to want a Matte tv . So rejector tv is best for basement theater room. Not best for a LOT of ppl. Diff stroke for diff folks. It’s bit 1 track pony. So they are paying Flagship Samsung 77” QD-OLED throwing in $5000 after tax n $700 5 yr repair package. They cant handle that Matte.
4:24 use my curtain and it's fine❤😂
Got my 77" A95L for $3600. Just gonna count my blessings and not look back. Maybe lower the blinds a little, but definitely not look back lol
shit.....corporate benefits or how so cheap ?
@Manuel.Medellin AAFES black Friday Sale combined with opening a new MilStar account. So basically sell your soul to the military and Chase bank 🤷♂️
My tv will be right in front of a large window so the matte would work for me. Still not getting the 95 version due to all the dropout issues.
The s90c had dropout issues also
@@jay2official412 haven't seen anywhere mentioning 90 dropouts; only 95
@@ztuber7763 don’t quote me on it but I believe I heard “All about TKK” say he had blackouts on both his s95c and s90c
As an owner of the S95B 65" & S95C 55" the cleaning comment God damn let me tell you what... I prefer the gloss over matte but the only solution I found that is reliable is 70% isopropyl alcohol just don't leave it on the screen for long and you better make sure you have multiple clean micro Fibre clothes at the ready. Because the grease just loves to smear and get trapped on the coating and you gotta worth your tail of to make it turn back to that Rosa color because any grease not cleaned will leave a blue smudge.
Only use water. It does take work but limit it to that single area and don't go all crazy. Use a microfiber cloth and put some water on it. Dab the spot then use the dry area of the cloth to clear it out. Use a circular motion if needed to even it out.
@level80888 had the s95b since launch and I have 3 kids always touching I have zero damage if you use 90% then yes or let it soak sure it might but, in this case distilled water. Takes like 10 attempts on a single small spot. The 70% takes 1 maybe 2
@volcalstone have you cleaned a qd oled? Not trying to come across as rude just a legitimate question but I responded to the other guy. Explaining my reasoning and understanding if you don't read it basically had s95b since launch 3 kids handprints no damage what so ever. Still a beautiful Rosa sheen. No increases in reflections on cleaned areas.
@@ThatGuy-Noob_69 yes I have with my S95B a little after launch. Luckily for me just 1 kid but is older so it's mainly just water spots or so. Mine is still looking new as well. I know there is a different coating in it vs my A80J. I've been just using water and nothing else. I've heard of horror stories and even witnessed a return at BB cause the customer said he couldn't clean the screen.
@volcalstone right on! Yeah in your case defiantly just take that extra bit of time with distilled water. For me my youngest is 1 so greasy handprints or fingerprint are an almost every other day thing distilled water wasn't cutting it. & I heard of those nightmares as well. I did alot of research prior to ever trying and conscious is 70% is safe if you are in and out. & my TV is proof but, actually when buying the s95c I tried an open box because it was 500$ less and let me tell you..... whoever opened it looked exactly like you were saying someone got fingerprints on it and cleaned it with paper towel and windex or something from the looks of it... I returned it and just bought new.
I mean what other third gen QD-OLED's are there this year? Sony isn't expected to announced an A95M and the X95M is their 2024 flagship. TCL and Hisense don't have QD-OLED's. LG absolutely doesn't. I think Sharp has one releasing this year, but its not confirmed to be third gen since it's technically last year's model.
Who told you this is third generation panel samsung has not confirmed you need to understand samsung display is a seperate company
@riptonedwards9175 Why would the S95D not be third generation? Thus far they haven't shown off a new generation panel that Samsung Electronics has not then used in their flagship QD-OLED. The third gen QD-OLED panel was at the show. This particular demo unit might not have been, according to KG they didn't say, but the third gen panel is there and Samsung was proudly showing it off with its improvements.
@riptonedwards9175 also I suppose I should clarify that I was referring to Samsung Electronic's S95D, not Samsung Displays demonstration panel which as KG said could be anything. I am well aware that Display and Electronics are two related but separate businesses. But if Display makes a new QD-OLED panel and it is ready in time for a mass market release, Samsung Electronics is likely to use it unless it's cost prohibitive.
What i. Am trying to explain to you is that samsung display is a seperate company they are cousins samsung electronics his now buying panels from samsung they don't alto buy from samsung display I think the third panels will be used later on this year on the a95m oled tv and 2025 samsung sony will launch 2 master series tv you will see the x95m mini led in March allthough it won't come to market before September you will also see sharp qd oled in a few weeks, flanders scientific his putting the brighter panel in the Pro display arena
I think if it was the 3rd gen Samsung would've mentioned or marketed it. He did say the D was more punchy but that could be anything as the C might have been tuned differently. I do wonder if they just slapped on the matte screen and called it a day. Who knows but I won't be surprised.
maybe q80r successor finally, only real shame is the tizen
Glossy everyday
Hope LG also creates a similar product. Love this !!
It doesn't seem to lose much brightness - in stores a lot of these TVs reflect overhead lights because they are higher and that creates an angle with the ceiling lights. I have a feeling the S95D will look better than any TV at a store especially if mounted higher. That chair at 4:00 looks really nice and it's also part of Samsung's new furniture series called the Disappearing Chair (cool effect)😂😂 The violin cake on the matte @5:33 looks quite reflective.
Love Glossy 😂
S95C is looks better?
S90d supposed to be glossy yes?
Yes
well my house has windows so there you go.
🧘🏻♀️d -MATTER -here is d Matte 😊
@4:31 S95C @5:33 S95D Violin Cake with reflections
That’s the same set. Says 2024 oled right above it.
@@tbecket4890 Nice catch - a few seconds before that, it was showing the conventional but it switched to the 2024. I updated it.
@@techsamurai11 ahh ok , it is hard to get a good comparison. I am pretty sure KG was being pressured to hurry. At 3:50 one can see them both head on.
I have a room with huge window to the side that we’re not going to cover. And we have side lamps we’re not going to turn off. I recently bought a Samsung OLED and seeing all the reflections made me return it the same day. We have a 5 year old LED matte Samsung and it works well in the space. But it is starting to fail so need something new. Samsung is the only company I know with matte screens.
Love Matte! this TV is for people like me who don't want to go insane from the mirror like reflections and seeing yourself sitting on the couch on every dark scene. There are plenty of glossy options on the market still for the rest of you.
Good point I’ve seen OLEDs in bad situations and those dark scenes are unwatchable basically you’re just restricted to watching certain movies or shows under these conditions and I’d rather deal with a matte screen than see a reflection of my surroundings.
Who would put light on the TV all the time Get the Frame for matte finish then
Yes it's looking gorgeous but not worth the $3,399.99 for 65" imo. I guess I'll stick with my LG C1 for now.
S95D best of the best TV ever!! ❤❤❤
Matte finish = L
Bro, literally same picture... details, depth where ? XR Processor with Clear Image and LG's new Alpha Gen a11 will run circles around Samsung this year.
Full matte sucks it looks like a giant computer monitor
I think TVs have Maxed out
Not yet, Microled is the peak.
I don't like matte screens.
Big mistake doing this. The glossy screen gives it that nice polished look.
@@level80888 both should be offered. Glossy screen looks significantly better. If you absolutely can’t control the light then you would settle for the inferior picture quality
This is Michael. Samsung screwed up here. The glossy picture actually looks better and the matte finish should have been made an option on more of a mid-range TV, or at least give the consumer a variety of choice but not have your Flagship TV stuck with Matt finish
I couldn't care less. I'll take either one. Sigh.
Why dont these clown companies let the consumer pick the finish? Make s95d in matte and glossy, alls they gotta do is make it obvious to customers go matte if your room has light sources around
didn't like it
s95d is a HUGE DOWNGRADE for clarity due to the anti-glare i don't have any light in my movie theater. i have black walls and no natural light. so when i watch a movie in the dark, pure bliss. now i got to have that microled 76 when samsung comes down on a reasonable price tag
Is it proven clarity is less? Samsung is stating clarity should be identical.
Never😊😅😅😅 ever !!😂 Nothing else MATTER 😂😂😂😮
S95D, the LCD TV with infinite contrast we've all been waiting for lol. Samsung definitely dropped the ball on this one. Why not make this years S90D matte, all around terrible decision making.
Glare Free is just looking awful, low reflection on s95c is much better
Matte finish 👎👎
was this video sponsored by samsung
No if something is sponsored it will say it in the video . It’s a requirement.
S95D=Fail
Who is in charge of this camera, a blind man?
Yuck.
Matte finish sucks. Stop watching OLED in a room with lights. You're doing it wrong. THX reference standards is to watch a movie with 5 nits of ambient light max. Buy a QLED for your living room and leave this in a basement. This is a TV for enthusiast, not the average consumer.
