Just picked up the s89c 77 for 1799 from BB. Amazing T.V. Almost exactly the same as the s90c. My last T.V. Was a 50” 1080P Vizio lol.

I've seen it in a store for a combined 2 hours. Probably the best value for money when you want a new high end tv.
So much cheaper than the S95C, the G3 and the A95L.
And the picture is still so good.

Just picked up a 77” s90cd at Costco for 1200 today ! It was the display model but for that price! It was a steal

[markholle]

Just had the 55” model installed on the wall today. WOW. My wife who never seems to be impressed couldn’t believe the picture. We watched Tomorrowland a few days ago and then tonight. She said it was like being there. Pretty good endorsement.

Congrats for speaking about what really matters and in a not so long video. Kind regards!

Excellent video Abby!!! I will be purchasing the S90C 77" because of your detailed and always excellent video!! Thanks!

[Maineguy]

For the 77" you should definitely get the s89c, as it's an incredible value. I hated mine for a solid month. It's not great out of the box and I really struggled getting picture settings that I liked. But eventually, it clicked, and I love it now. There are specific situations where the motion isn't the best, but overall, it's a great tv for the price. Most people complaining about consistent lousy upscaling and motion probably don't even own the tv.

Got it back when it launched in 2023. Couldn’t be happier. This TV is amazing

[tommyzorera]

I got one of these. It's tremendous.

[darkedgex]

Abby is amazing! =)

Q: It wasn't mentioned during "Inputs", but is the power cable detachable or is it hardwired (and is this something that can vary from region to region)?

[KingCanadaLIVE]

Just got mine today. The review is 100% spot on. Super happy. If you're looking to buy the best without paying flagship tax, this is it. Abby is fantastic!

[bbertram]

I bought a TV last year...Im here for Abby! Loved the video :)

[cagriky]

Great detailed and unsponsored review that i was looking for. Many thanks.

If you buy this TV, make sure to TURN OFF PICTURE OPTIMIZATION. It shifts the whole screen unreasonably blue and gives you just two picture modes "Eye comfort" and "optimized" both are very blue. This setting is not under picture but under General & Privacy -> intelligent Mode Settings. You can't change it on Tizen you have to switch inputs. Then go to Picture and change to Warm 2, full brightness and contrast, and do minimum sharpness... Click apply to all inputs.... And do this for every picture setting.... This will also change Tizen.... I almost returned this thing until I figured this out.

Love what you guys do. I buy all of my tvs based on reviews from your website and/or videos. Bought the 77” S90c a few months back and couldn’t be happier with it. Great job and keep up the good work!

I was 10 years old in 1971. TVs were black and white with just 3 over the air stations. Small sets too and heavy. When the antenna broke you stuck a metal coat hanger into the hole. So, any tv you buy today is gonna rock compared to back then! 4K❤ How things have improved ❤

Abby is bubbly and quirky and knowledgeable - Im all here for it!

I went into the menu and found out I have a first gen panel, is this still qd oled?
