Samsung really hates DV.
Since they hold 30% of the global TV market, I suppose I'm safe without DV !?
They could release DV with a firmware update. They're just sulking because DV is better than HDR and don't want to pay $$ for it.
It's not a visible dip in the S95B, the bigger issue is the longevity numbers they're seeing to want to keep making these changes.
Yeah, the Accelerated Longevity Test doesn't look good.
I put it in another room and went back to the Sony A80J.
What happened at the latest firmware update?
There was a reduction in peak brightness and PQ EOTF tracking.
Isn’t this happening with all manufacturers of oleds though , decreasing peak brightness from the spec’s they sell them at ?
@beach bum: Most severely with the Samsungs as testing has shown the QD-OLED degrades MUCH quicker than W-OLED as they have to put higher voltage through the diodes to achieve the same brightness. Samsung also doesn’t have MLA tech which helps boost brightness at the same usage
@Anthropomorphised: MLA is new tech this year , right ?
or at least not in last years C2 ,
where they continually gimp the tv with every other update ,
any bet they lower the brightness of the G3/C3 once the 4series comes out .Sorry , don’t know about Samsung so much ,
but I know it was sold as last years brightest tv .@beach bum: MLA was new on the G3 last year, the new G4 will be the second year it’s around.
I wouldn’t be hugely shocked if they lower the brightness of some models, but the G series have a heatsink to reduce panel wear, so there shouldn’t be this issue there at least.
Surely one could make the case that brands hobbling the brightness of their screens after purchase is agains ACL as bait and switch. All they need to do is have a toggle for users to choose to prefe longevity or panel performance
@Anthropomorphised: But in practice , they say the latest update improves performance or something vague along those lines and dim it down again , and most don’t notice another incremental change .
Then in 5years they’ve saved 50 mil in warranty claims for every year .
Everyone’s so fixated on the new features and the next generation.
I mean look at Sony , they run away from last years models like they just sold you dodgy tickets on the street .
What's DV?
Dolby Vision.
Domestic Violence.
Need the 65" to go on proper sale. Missed out on the $2200 deal few weeks ago. And now best I can do is $2560 on the edu site which includes 5% off and a $50 voucher. Wondering if I should roll the dice for April sales or just buy it at that price.
It would look great on your living room 😬 Go for it. I got one last week from edu at this price and love it.
Really tempted! Just hooked up the 990c soundbar to the old tv and it already sounds amazing
GoodGuys has 2.25% Shopback ATM, which could mean an additional $44.68 off
Hi @Macbig,
The price currently shown for 65inch S95C on tge Samsung education store is $3999.
How are you able to get the price down to $2560?
Are you talking about the same model or some other?
Samsung education store has the 65inch listed at 2749.45$. If it’s the first app purchase, 5% extra discount. Maybe you are looking at Samsung store and not edu one!
Yep sorry Samsung edu store. Hope you grab one! Good luck
Let me check again.
I am trying on edu store.
Thanks mate, you were correct, was somehow getting redirected to the samsung store.
Able to see the correct price now, when I logged out and login via unidays.
Cool. I have personally ordered one last week and I am pretty happy with it. It’s my first OLED and it’s great.
sounds like delivery was quick? hope to order soon.
Ordered on 21 Feb, delivered on 26 Feb
Can you please also tell me, how did you manage to get 5% discount
It’s auto applied if it’s your first order via their app. Download Samsung app- login with your account.inside app, Go to My Page- switch to edu store by tapping the link under your name. Then if it’s your very first order via app, 5% off will be auto applied on checkout.
What's the samsung education app name?
Same app. Samsung shop app. See my previous comment. Login, switch to edu account.
Thanks mate, got it.
Excellent value. Just no DV. I have the S95B that was gimped after the latest firmware update.
