Bought my S90C yesterday. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Thank you Darko and hello from Miami, FL.

[Michael.Talbot]

Have you tried changing to BT.2020, color to 20, HDR tone mapping to static and green tint to G+1, I hear this is a great setting, my new TV gets delivered next week and i am going to try it. Great video btw thanks 👍👍

[a.nonamouse]

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions for adjustment. It's appreciated!

[Ford-wtrn]

Why dont you recommend or say anything about what to do with Game HDR? That's supposed to be on for HDR games

[wings]

I have the S90C 77….. I was pausing all throughout the video making sure my settings were close to his and the details and everything looks so much better.

Yay, thank you

This tv is damn good and i'm really happy i purchased at this price for the cost (1600 2023 winter)

I have a question, have you ever been to the service menu?

[zuti]

There is way to much picture and tv settings to do (out of the box) in moders TV's for average consumers. On one hand it's great to have some options but if we need to watch 10min long tutorials to adjust just elementary stuff on our tv i think it's gone to far and can confuse ordinary people who think that picture in standard or dynamic mode looks better (in their eyes) than in movie/filmmaker mode.
In general, great video Darko.

I appreciate your taking the time to do this as I’m trying to learn mine delivered 2 days ago. We are enjoying this TV. I have subscribed, but would u consider a summary screen that I could refer to? Also would like to hear why you prefer this or that?

Hi great video thanks for sharing. I had my 55’ S92C this week, mainly purchased for gaming on PS5 and watching streaming content on Apple TV. I have a Sony af9 in the living room now for 4 years and never noticed color banding as I’m seing it on Samsung. What would be the closest option to play with in order to reduce that ?

[makayahmilani]

I have the S90C and can not access the HDR Tone Mapping. It appears to be unavailable. Does the tone mapping come with this model or the higher end S95C? I've already exchanged it at Best Buy for the LG evo C3, which is coming on the 11th. Right now I'm trying to decide if I should cancel my order and keep the S90C. Could use some help.

Hello, new to you page. Just purchased the Samsung QN90C 85 inch. Was wondering if you settings for this beautiful tv. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I will get some great guidance from you. Thanks in advance

Hi. I got my Samsung s90d oled. Everything looks great but watching cricket is not that good. The motion looks blurry especially the white ball. The native content is up to 1080p, sometimes 720p. It is less noticeable when the content is higher quality. I have tried looking for reddit on the topic but because the tv is no new, couldn’t find any for s90d. I searched older model s90c and it had similar issues. I tried the settings they said in the threads but didn’t change much. I tried changing the judder to 2 like the posts had suggested and so on. Any suggestions please? I plan on watching a good amount of sports on this tv and don’t want to be disappointed. Please let me know of the settings that will reduce motion blur. Thanks!

Hi! Do you have any experience with the calibration tool in in the SmartThings app?

[Jaang]

Do you have a video for settings or review of LG 65" Class A2 Series OLED ( OLED65A2PUA ) ? thank you

[Krystian]

What you a reccomended option about pixel refresh?

[blkoutaccord]

Do you keep peak brightness medium or high on SDR Filmmaker

[frankterry]

What’s the best setting for sports, frames look bad when I’m watching football.

Should motion blur and noise be set to 10?

[JohnS]

What do you think is better S90c 77in vs C3 77in? Input greatly appreciated.

[RedStarSQD]

Isn't active tone mapping basically what dolby vision does minus the colour adjustment? Tone mapping based on the current scene vs the same for all content.
Active should be better I would think.. and yet many, like this video, say keep static. Is my assumption wrong?
I've narrowed my search down to the s90c or the LG b4.
