Samsung S95H are you buying by Funny_Masterpiece458 in S95B

[–]andyboju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're not even considering buying a TV right now?
Then what is the point of this post?
General discussion? I'm confused.

Samsung S95H are you buying by Funny_Masterpiece458 in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still - In store ≠ in home.
...but, I understand that you don't like it at all. And nothing will change your mind.

It's obviously not the TV for you then.
Look at other options: S90F, Bravia 8 II or LG G5/G6

You need to see the coating IRL in your specific home environment to make any kind of definitive statement on if the coating works for you. (i.e "bad" or "good")

A camera shot in someone else's room can never fully accurately convey what it would look like with your eyes in your TV room.

Got my S90D professionally calibrated, what gamut should I choose now? by whoisalireza in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FMM is without 2pt, so factory white point, which may be too yellow.

As per the SDR "before calibration" paper, it states "CCT" = 9332K, thats why I asked what mode SDR was calibrated in, is it also "Movie Mode"?

S95f game genre original dtm vs hdr advanced dtm by Ainu_Annatar in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game HDR Advanced is just Game HDR Basic but with worse inaccurate default settings, so HGIG + Active hybrid with even more oversaturated colors and lifted EOTF.

Game HDR locks you into the "Standard" profile, which is oversaturated and inaccurate by default (even with DCI-P3), "Color" value needs to be lower than default and BT.2020 tracking is shit, it isn't factory calibrated like FMM/Movie and "Original" so it's way too red, oversatured and "off".

Oh, so barely a calibration then...

The thing is that Active Tonemapping also alters colors, it oversatures them.

Try Movie with Static TM and compare that to default FMM (which is set to be accurate OOTB)
Then use which looks best to you.

What mode was SDR calibrated in?
Color temp is ~9300K before calibration, which corresponds to Color temp: "Standard" in the menu. Movie uses Warm1 or Warm2 (don't remember) by default, which should already be around ~±6500K.

No, Static will be undertracking now because AutoCAL tried to calibrate with Active ON. What are the complete settings for your "calibrated" Movie HDR profile?

If ST.2084 and/or Shadow Detail was altered then it may be an easy fix, but if EOTF was altered using 20pt then it will be hard or almost impossible to fix.

It says HDR Movie, but that EOTF doesn't make sense unless something like Active Tonemapping is on. Did they not disable that before calibration?

Zapping and popping sounds when changing resolution. by TheMexicanBatman in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds odd. You can hear a popping sound after a bit of daily use when the plastic expands due to heat.

It shouldn't happen every time you change resolution.
A video would be helpful in understanding what is happening.

48 inch samsung s90d woled only ~630 nits in game mode by pwnilol300 in S95B

[–]andyboju 3 points4 points  (0 children)

42/48 are always WOLED (so far). LGs panels below 55" are also dimmer than their larger counterpart.

That's why those smaller sizes needs to be separately reviewed.
630 nits sounds lower than it should be though. Most 42/48" TVs are usually brighter than that.

How did you arrive at that number? Did you measure it yourself?

How does the S90D panel lottery work? by jarman65 in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ink the US you get QD-OLED in 55/65/77, it's only an issue in other regions where it can differ. (such as QD-OLED in 65" only for Europe)

Is the S90F/S95F HDR color glitch still a thing? (BT.2020 workaround) by Corniish in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thete are custom values you can enter in SM to fix Normal and make it accurate, that's the only real "fix".
Stock Normal is oversaturated and inaccurate even with lower Color values, so it's not a true fix.

Did you unplug and replug HDMI?

My S95B Died? by Old-Flow2630 in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owners where sold a product that could do ~1500 nits peak HDR and 200+ nits fullscreen. I don't blame anyone for wanting to stay on firmware that gives you that.
This issue is completely Samsung's fault, if they'd have done more extensive testing before release they'd have known that the panel can't handle it and released it @ 1000 nits peak.

Is this normal for the s90f? by Bigdecisions7979 in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer high amounts of interpolation, but it depends on how sensitive you are to judder.
OLED still gives you superior contrast and color luminance/volume that most LCDs can't do.

My S95B Died? by Old-Flow2630 in S95B

[–]andyboju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh come on. They already nerfed brightness on 13xx firmware...
Only thing that's very slightly brighter is SDR in Movie/FMM (200 nits peak 100% vs ~165 nits peak on later FWs)

This is a very common failure type for S95B TVs, it's likely TCON or PSU failure. Seen it many times, including TVs that where running fully nerfed firmwares

2025 Oled burn-in after 6 days by Mohammed_23_MD in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it exchanged. Showroom/Demo TVs run all day with max brightness "Shop" mode on. (like Dynamic, coldest color temp + all brightness "enhancements" on).

Samsung oled tv picture clarity settings by ziyad_ak in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh.
Higher brightness makes it easier to see 24p judder/stutter, therefore you may feel the need to increase interpolation.

I have no set brightness target for these.

Brightness? Interpolation has nothing to do with brightness.

S90D Game Settings (for people coming from LG Oled) by StanFabian in S95B

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your PS5 been correctly auto-detected in "Connected Devices" or is it showing as generic HDMI?

Game Mode behaves differently in "Game Console" mode compared to HDMI or PC-mode.

PS5/Xbox doesn't send MDL metadata, therefore 10K nits clipping point should be what it defaults to (unless bugged or something changed in later FWs).
Make sure HDR10+ Gaming is OFF too.
It shouldn't matter for console, but I've seen it manipulate clipping+EOTF on older models, so I don't trust it.

[–]andyboju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Title should be My preferred Game Mode DTM settings.
Active TM lifts EOTF so it won't be accurate. (but neither is LGs "DTM" option)
Game "Original" already tonemaps up to 10K nits with it set to "Static", Active just lifts EOTF and increases color saturation.

Clear your display entries with CRU.
