Caleb, I don't understand why you pay so much attention to comments 🫣 I'm not interested in what all these people say because most of them have no idea what they are talking about and haven't been able to examine the TV in detail like you have. I don't like the fact that the these people have now been given a platform in your video. this is ridiculous 😢 bad times...
This TV with matte screen is a game changer for me. For years I've been struggling with glossy TVs that are unusable durring day time, because they reflect everything in front them like a mirror. Thank you samsung for finally addressing this issue!
I have been using the 65 S95D for last 1 month, and it has been exceptional. The anti-glare is something I cannot live without now. Earlier I used to be able to see myself in the TV during daytime, and dark scenes looked bad during peak sunlight. But in this TV it is more than visible during the day and no distractions visible on screen. When there is less ambient light or no light you can barely tell it has an anti-glare coating, looks like any good OLED.
I took my wife with my to look at a G4 and when she saw the S95D she wanted that and only that. We have a very lit room and it looks stunning at all times, kinda glad I didn’t get the G4 honestly
@@SLICK8116good decision… my lg ended up with white line and need to replace panel at cost of tv only after 3 years of time to time usage, absolute crap
Great review! I ordered a 77 inch S95D today, replacing my 78 inch KS9590. I’ve seen the matte screen coating in the shop already and found it a great alternative to the usual glossy screen. It has a bit of raised blacks but it still looked gorgeous and somewhat classy. Loved it.
@@bruceparker3139 I got my S95D and I had to come back here to let you know that’s it’s a fantastic TV. Huge leap over my old LED TV and an incredibly clean Panel. Zero banding - I didn’t know this was possible. The coating looks really classy and the picture is sharp, direct, impactful and a pure joy. Glad I made the plunge 😄
You’ll love the tv, just the Q9FN was a big upgrade (2018) and next was S95B in 2022 so you will for sure get a good tv. I give you one advice I recommend you follow and fuck streamers or reviewers on this, when your tv looks and play great don’t update anymore, if last thing you miss is faster UI it’s not worth it. People updating Samsung especially majority goes in this trap, even the experts, so if all is good don’t update and be sure by reading how others experience is of if you know anyone. Play hard and enjoy 🤘🏼 Edit; also had your tv the first year it was out, first Samsung to get more black rather than the gray tones, also another good tv but they messed with firmwares over time as usual 🤣 Think it was around release of this I started get more cautious with updates, but it goes with all brands as messing firmwares is a criminal business they all do except Panasonic
How are you liking the tv so far? Did you notice the 1 inch difference in tvs? I was always told to buy up in size for tvs or you don't get the woah factor as much
Thanks for your review, Caleb! Excellent as always. I recently ordered the 77” G4 and while it hasn’t arrived yet, this review is not giving me any buyers remorse. I’m so excited for the G4 to arrive!
The g4 is incredible. The image processing is miles better. Yeah color luminance is lower but I’ve never looked at an lg OLED and thought the colors seemed dull. Enjoy the new tv!
Dude you are getting a G4 and worried about buyers remorse? Lol, oled is oled, they all look amazing. Imagine what we had to choose from 10 plus years ago and you can get a S90c 77" for under $2k. You couldn't buy any oled for under $6k 10 gears ago.
True, I love watching in the bright. It really fixes that issue. When I go to theatres, I ask for all the lights to be on as well. Curtains and blinds, the hell are those? Love this new MiniLED from /s amsung, the Blooming is very minimal, very close to being an OLED.
Dear Caleb, We have high demands from your videos and reviews because you are the best. Don't take it to heart we all love you and thank you for your hard work!!
Glossy is always for me. I super upset this trend that OLED panels are taking. The same thing with the Steam Deck OLED, I ended up covering the etched glass with glossy screen protector to get that deep black solid look. I game and watch at night and keep my TV away from windows. Don’t need matte
Have been a proud owner of a 55” G3 for over a month now and was truly blown away by the brightness when in a bright room and it’s sheer performance only downside is the AI could be better but i am not complaining
I saw the S95D in Best Buy and was hoping I would like it. The S95C looked great last year but had OneConnect box issues. The S95D looked a bit blurry/hazy to me so I decided to go for the LG G4. I also wasn't a fan of the A95L which was shocking since I went to the store thinking I would buy it.
All I will say is I have an old LG C8 that I still love and in a dark room is amazing, but with any light sources or even white walls behind it you WILL see it reflected. Today I visited Selfridge's in London and saw the S95D in the middle of a really bright shop hall with lights everywhere and, OH MY GOD, looking at the footage on the S95D was like looking at a moving matte painting. It is AMAZING
Every review of the S95d and the G4 changes my mind. Im just going to hang it all on your upcoming comparison review (although I think I know which one will win). Anyway, in either case, you’re the best reviewer on YT.
Both are great. Comes down to your room and size requirement. I have a lot of windows but wanted 83” so i went for G4. Glossiness is just beautiful and i don’t see any reflection at all. If 77” would be my size, i would probably go for Sony A95L still. Prefer the OS (don’t like LG’s nor Samsung’s).
I was about to do the same until I came across the extensive discussion about the bugged HDMI2 (ARC) port on the LG. So I bought the S 95D. Both have their advantages which you obviously have seen working at the store . I have to say I don’t much like the skin tones on the LG- all LG look to some extent Green (LG stands for looks green)- I admit the LG G4 looks the least Green of all of them, and is a fantastic TV with a number of advantages, including brightness, cool temp and build quality. I will sum up the samsung advantages as better color volume and gamut, Lack of green push, thinner panel, and lack of bugged HDMI ARC port.
@@kuldipsingh366I would choose the G4 over the S95C because it’s newer, brighter and has a better warranty. But if you can get a good deal on the S95C then I’d choose that and save my money as it’s still a great TV.
I LOVE my S95D. I can finally watch without being distracted by reflections of my couch, lights, windows etc. I waited for years to replace a TV because nothing was available before the S95D that would have addressed my issues with reflections.
I have to commend whoever shot this because their ability to capture the TV is simply second to none. I almost doubt the S95D looks that great in real life.
The thing is as a UK viewer - the 'watching TV in harsh lighting conditions' (that you mention) hardly ever occurs. More generally have had an OLED (LG CX) I like the 'black' and not sure of the 'sheen' effect. But your remark about seeing the TV in person does seem important for this TV - maybe more that others.
I never understood the criticism of the anti-glare display. In most bright lighting conditions, glossy OLEDs become virtually unwatchable and the S95D pretty much solves that entirely. And for the times when viewed in the dark, the anti-glare becomes a non issue since there is no external light to diffuse. Plus, as a fan of watching films in theaters, I prefer the matte presentation over a glossy screen since it’s closer to what you get from a projector. Glossy screens seem more suited to product demos and sports viewing anyways.
I'm using a 65S95b, I saw an S95D in the store, and after tinkering with the settings for an hour, I watched that classic Rabbit and Black cat video and opened some videos from the USB. I think matte does not mean Good or Bad, but the choice should be made according to the level of reflection in the place where it will be used, depending on the situation of the house. When you look at the Oled screen, it is as if colors are floating in water. This is the simplest way to look at it. This is not the case with the S95D matte panel. Oled TV is okay, but the feeling of extra liveliness that comes with brightness has been taken back a notch or two with the matte panel. In fact, world reviews also refer to the matte panel. He got points with two classes who didn't look at it very often and said it was very nice. In my personal opinion, if you ask S95D or S90D, I would prefer the glossy S90D model or the S95C Model. We all know that Sony supplies QD OLED panels from Samsung. If Sony uses Matte panels, I would say Samsung is on the right track with its new OLED series, but I would not buy MAT again. The S95D with its matte panel didn't excite me as much as the S95C and S95B
Great job on the review! I would still go for a glossy panel but this TV still looks really good. Everyone has their own taste though. These TV's are so expensive and because of this fact I would just want the absolutely best picture. When I buy a new TV I normally hold onto it until it dies so it has to be the best right off the bat.
I have 8 6ft windows in my living room and glare always distracted. This TV has removed about 95% of it and the picture is great. I love the sound as well.
no it's not, when light falls from the room to a antiglare screen, the light gets spreaded over the full screen and and brightens it up. so you're near black level encrases. A glare screen reflects the light bundled back. The bad thing there is, you can look at yourself on the screen, but the rest of the screen remains dark. In a dark room is no significant difference between both.
I have three 8' sliding glass door in my room. This is the only TV that makes sense. When I saw it at Best Buy, It really stood out from the crowd because I saw the image in the screen, not my reflection. Some other reviewers pointed out that in the dark, this TV looks pretty much exactly like a glossy TV. For critical viewing, you'd likely be in a pretty dark room. I usually watch the TV during the day and a projector at night. This TV is perfect for my needs. The house isn't finished yet, but Best Buy has my S95D in storage waiting :)
I think the anti glare screen is more distracting than having a small light reflection. It blows out the colors and blacks badly. Got the S95C instead.
If you want to use your influence, tell them that FANS DEMAND DOLBY VISION. Samsung is simply a no go for me until they support the premiere HDR format in the marketplace.
Only if the difference between Dolby Vision and HDR10+ were like night and day in performance could fans justifiably “DEMAND DOLBY VISION." Samsung could unleash Dolby Vision tomorrow if they wanted to. Their restraint speaks volumes about the true value proposition of Dolby Vision. I've owned TVs that proudly boasted Dolby Vision, but when I switched to HDR10+? Not a single tear was shed. In fact, HDR10+ has consistently blown me away, serving up a visual banquet that leaves me wondering why I ever bought into the Dolby Vision hype. Don't let the HDR marketing machine pickpocket your wallet just for home theater bliss! These formats are more similar than the industry wants you to realize. This whole debacle reeks of the old Blu-ray vs HD DVD showdown - a battle of marketing FOMO rather than genuine technological superiority. It's like choosing between a $300 clock and a $30 one. Sure, the expensive one might have gold-plated hands, but does it really help you tell time any better? Here's a jaw-dropper for you: Even LG, once Dolby Vision's staunchest ally, has started excluding it from their lower-tier TVs. Why? To save you, the savvy consumer, from unnecessary overhyped costs. That's right - the very company that championed Dolby Vision is now admitting it's not essential for every viewer. Think about it: If Dolby Vision were truly the holy grail of HDR, we'd see a viewer uprising - we'd all be storming the gates of TV manufacturers, pitchforks and remotes in hand, demanding "DOLBY VISION OR DEATH!" But we're not, are we? Proving that our eyes can just be as satisfied with the alternatives.
Samsung only has one year warranty compared to five years for LG G4! In addition to the fact that they don’t want to have Dolby Vision and DTS:X is a deal killer for me.
@@ipodguy123gunderstandably most people just want DV because they want everything from a TV when they pay over $3k but let me tell you, my A95L has Dolby Vision and I don’t use it from how bad it is😂
@@ipodguy123gthe problem isn’t that DV is better than HDR10+ because like you said they are mostly indistinguishable from each other. It’s just that most content only supports DV and not 10+. And just saying use headphones isn’t a good argument against not having DTS:X
@@RBGT3RS Definitely agree with the not enough hdr10+ content point. I dont think ive seen that indicator pop up on my tv since i got it 2 years ago lol. But im not familiar with how audio codecs on tvs work. If i set up a speaker system to the tv or the source, does it still not output the input codec if the tv doesn’t support it?
*Samsung should use the anti reflective gorilla glass used on s24 ultra on 2025 oled TVs. It's glossy and anti reflective at the same time - the best of both worlds.*
For me a glossy screen is key, the issue I have adding a mat finish AFFECTS SHARPNESS as well as saturation take the fruit comparison with the g4 there is a clear noticeable degradation in texture of the fruit, another example fur looses Follicles to the point where the qd benefits are lossed to high end wold panel’s
**** NOT A TV FOR GAMERS** I have the S95D 77 inch, and the game mode Lag and create a pink image. Whatever the resolution, 60 native/120/144. Samsung. The only way that I can minimize the number of time it happened is by turn on and off game mode until it works....... It very bad honestly. But for the rest its a nice tv
And this anti-glare on a screen is why I used my Mitsubishi WD-82838 up to a few months ago. I had lights on in the room and the dlp set didn't care at all! Upgraded to a 4k dlp ust with a 100" hard frenal ALR screen and it is great! I have lights on in the rear of the room where I sit and the screen does not even show the slightest of them being on.
I have my eye on a G4. Do you have an estimation on when you’ll compare it to this in a dedicated video? I am really curious how well LG holds up with BT2020 content this generation.
Here in India a 55 inch S95D is available for about 1900$ and they're throwing in an extra 43 inch DU8300 Crystal 4K UHD Smart TV free with it and with 3 years of extended warranty
We bought the S95D 77” for $2000 off and ended up returning it. The reason? The anti-reflective coating causes blooming around bright highlights against a dark background, making it look like a mini-LED TV rather than an OLED with perfect contrast and inky blacks. This was while watching in a dark room too. Also the motion processing is bad. We watched the Champion’s League final and it was nowhere near as clear as our 4 year old LG GX. This issue persisted no matter how much I tinkered with the motion settings. We’re gonna get the LG G4 now instead.
This is disappointing to hear, but thanks for sharing! That's a good bit of info to know. I am on the hunt for the perfect gaming tv and was almost decided on the s95D
@@LittlePlant888 Happy to help anyone that’s looking for a new TV by sharing my experience! To be fair, the blooming issue was mostly relegated to movie credits and subtitles. If you can look past that small issue, then the S95D is still a great TV, especially if you can get it on sale. The vividness of the colours is still something Samsung excels at. It’s just that the screen coating kind of “flattens” the image and gets rid of the distinct 3D look that OLEDs are known for. That’s why my family is switching to the LG G4. Even though its colours aren’t as vivid as the Samsung, the image has a lot more depth and really pops out of the screen, thanks to the glossy coating. Plus the motion processing is great for watching sports. But if you’re using it for gaming: I wouldn’t worry too much about the S95D. Unless you’re playing on a PC, in which case you’re limited to 120HZ, as the 144HZ mode doesn’t work properly with Samsungs one-connect box. But that’s something they might fix with an update. The LG G4 on the other hand is a fantastic gaming TV that does full 4k at 144Hz no problem. I’d ultimately recommend buying whichever one you get the best deal on if you’re mainly gaming on it.
Honestly I can't WAIT for a proper review for the s90d compared to lg g4 and a95l.... Such a big price difference and would have lovvveeeeeeeed to see a comparison with Dolby vision vs hdr10+ differences on those models
Great review…one thing Samsung need to address is the one connect cable…I have a s95C…it comes with a super small and about 3 metre cable…not long enough!!!! Defeats the object of a one connect box!
What about the softness of the picture compared to Sony or LG G4? Samsung's processing just smears fine details and the picture has less clarity. Certainly, the colors of the Samsung are fantastic but lack of clarity and fine details in comparsion to Sony and LG G4 is inexcusable.
Three bright large windows in front of my current TV. I need this TV. Next year when it comes down in price. I can see outside my windows and watch TV at the same time.
3:06 - it's one of them where you can see what it does, and it does it well I suppose, but for me paying a premium for it doesn't make much sense. If I was in a room with that level of issues with light and I was using the TV regularly, I'd just go with a high-end MiniLED personally. But then I haven't seen it in person and people rave about the S95D, and they'll know better. It just doesn't convince me personally as a consumer that it's worth the outlay.
That is where you are wrong, even with a Miniled tv the screen looks like a mirror and you are watching yourself in it once it moves away from a full screen super bright scene, that that is way more distracting.
Thanks for a well balanced review. The anti-glare screen would probably not be for me, given the smearing, but your attempts to always be fair-minded are appreciated.
Great review @Caleb, your reviews are always informative, honest and helpful. I’ve been waiting for this review and it has helped me make my decision to buy. 😊
I seen and actually loved the anti-glare! Couldn’t even see my own reflection! That said, you mentioned blacks not looking inky but that’s with anything other then WOLED, but sadly not true, the MLA does it too, I can easily notice blacks not looking inky black on it with lighting in the room. I’m glad I got the G2. But I’ll need another (bigger) tv eventually so idk what to do.. perhaps the C5 or S95E if they make it in an 83”
I hate reflective screens. My previous laptop (Sony Vaio) was a nightmare for screen reflection. Luckily my TV (S95B) faces away from the window, so reflections aren't a big problem. The only problem was the two remotes that came with it. Both had pointless streaming service buttons, but no Freeview guide button (for UK use). I've had to buy an older style Samsung remote with that button on. It's a must for viewing free TV in the UK.
It’s only glossy OLED for me. My Switch OLED is glossy, my LG GX OLED TV is glossy, and my ultra wide Alienware QD-OLED is glossy, and my Steam Deck OLED is the glossy middle model since the highest model has the matte anti glare finish. I’m not changing that
I don’t think OLEDs “suffer” or look worse in bright rooms. Just that its advantage of perfect blacks is greatly reduced or completely eliminated. Even a bad LED can have great blacks, let alone any modern mini LED.
Ive said it before and ill say it again. This TV lets me easily watch content in lighting conditions that any normal glossy tv would not. Due to this simple reason alone, it is better for me than any other TV currently available. In light-controlled it looks as good as any other premium OLED. If anyone else has this kind of problem, get this TV, there is no better option.
Thank you, and we appreciate you as well. I want to thank you also for having an honest answer and opinion about this TV. Your opinion is what we want to hear and not just some opinion that we would like you to say. ^^
Thanks for the review! Looking forward to the vs LG G4 review. I hope we will see bigger screen sizes in the future. I currently have a 83A90J I would love to have a 97" qdoled or MLA oled in te future sadly both do not exist yet. BTW do I spot SVS Evolution speakers over there? Are you also going to review those?
I have Sony A95K 55 inch still in EU is available in Sony Center brand new, only in this size, My was out from factory 02/2024 because I purchased it one month ago. I chose this model because design for me is better than A95L, price is very similar between this two in this size. And this is picture quality, sony Master Series TV are amazing, before I have Sony Oled a84J also great TV, but this is step ahed. And I thinking that my A95K is 2024/02 model so this Tv must have 2 gen qd-oled panel?
This is not only the most versatile OLED ever since it does everything right like Gaming for example, stuff that other brands doesn't but it is the Best OLED TV ever right now hands down,you like it or not.
I think it relates to the polariser or lack of in qd oled. I have a s90c and prefer it over the woled I've had before but I did notice lifted blacks with some ambient lighting a bit like the way a plasma screen isn't as black as traditional oled
There are two parts for this. For second and third generation WOLED, LG Display gives those panels black surface treatments to absorb as much unwanted light from things like inbound light or light that the OLEDS generated but went the wrong way as possible. For second generation WOLED, LG Display uses a “Master Black” surface treatment. For third generation WOLED (which has MLA), LG Display uses a Vantablack surface treatment. For QD-OLED, the quantum dots are out in front, so any inbound light that has high enough energy photons will excite the quantum dots, causing them to get excited and generate photons that go somewhere. The antiglare coating helps here by scattering inbound light so that some of it is directed away from the quantum dots, so colors are less distorted by wrongly-excited quantum dots releasing unwanted photons. This is less of a problem in LCD TVs since the quantum dot enhancement film that converts blue light from the backlight unit is behind the LCD cell which blocks a lot of inbound light. I also currently do not know of any black treatments to absorb unwanted light in QD-OLED panels, but I could be wrong about this.
Thanks guys, I was multi tasking during the original view. I didn’t hear Andrew say, “When the lights are up, I mean really up” Yes am aware of a moderately raised black level in that circumstance on QD OLED’s
I have since found an error in my previous post. Samsung Display did add an anti-reflective layer to its second generation QD-OLED, but tests show that while it helps compared to first generation QD-OLED, second generation QD-OLEDs still reflect more than WOLEDs and some LCDs.
Hi? Can you address in the s90d vs s95d comparison the rather huge difference in montion clarity? Like really, really huge. Just look at any comparison video and find a scene that is not slow motion or still and pause it. Tech with kg has a great comparison with only 2 tvs. Anyways it's such a shocking difference. I believe you will be as floored as I was. One is very clear the other is very, very blurry!! How has this gone unnoticed? Even small movements like the brush moving slowly over the green sandy stuff has ridiculous differences. Blurry vs seeing every last grain. Anyways, this is everything from sports to john wick and well anything with non slow motion movement so its a great selling point. Why would samsung not advertise a 5/10 vs a 9/10 motion clariry difference did they regret their choice? Serriously confused consumer here having watch every last video and live stream with many sports scene analyses and not a single mention. They only checked the little football moving insanely fast and far from the camera and missed blurry players. How the new processors handle specific circumstances does not necessarily represent generalities like test patterns vs real content.
Great video, will there be a discussion on banding on the C4/G4 LGs versus the C3/G3 versus the QDOLED. I’m on the fence and need to know if the G4 has resolved the banding issue that has been an issue of RGB OLED (like my C1).
Classy Tech Calibrations has done some comparisons and shows that the C4 looks quite a bit better than the S90D despite only being WRGB OLED with no MLA or heatsink. He also did a livestream comparing the G4, S95D, and A95L and is working on a detailed video comparing them. Check it out because he goes into good detail about bugs and issues with tone mapping and stuff like that.
I actually got to see one today at my local electrical store. I really didn’t know what to think about it prior to seeing it. Well, personally, it looked fantastic and the mat screen looked great to my eyes. The images presented certainly looked rich and colourful. The new G4 was also on display, and it too looked brilliant. Decisions decisions…..
Hey Caleb, I’m wondering if you are going to review the S90D as well? I would like to see you review it. It would be nice to get some mid-range OLED TV reviews for the 2024 lines.
Great review Caleb. Samsung may not be able to escape the outcome of the S95D's success, its a lose lose situation for them in the coming years unless they make 2 different OLED SKUs with identical specs for picture quality. I think some people will love the OLED glare free design so much that it would be a mistake for Samsung to cut it, but on the other hand you have to understand its not going to be ideal for all rooms and those people deserve a flagship on the same level with a glossy coating. So whats the solution? Maybe they have to make them the same specs but make the choice to give one the one connect box + infinity design while the other doesn't but as long they have equal picture quality and the same panel people would be happy with that outcome.
I’m not a fan of Samsung’s heavily boosted colors. It’s the same deal with their phones. That said - I’m struggling to choose between this and the G4 for a computer display. I will mainly be playing games such as Flight sim and other regular 4K HDR games. Any thoughts?
S95B was more than fine enough so I would imagine so. Would prefer glossy as the S95B and S90C were incredibly well done, prefer over matte which been used on led in past but looking at this. Tv now after moving country, too much fuzzz about which models are actually QD Oled as well I see some that ordered around world got the 14xx firmware on the S90/95C so better start from fresh with firmwares and cut net when I see it comes too its peak, but the One Connect box is what worries most as it got around 1 faults with dropouts out of 10 tvs roughly, it looks great and early firmware is a big plus. If I knew I could get the S90D with QD Oled it be a safer buy as well full bandwidth which ps5 pro will take advantage of. It will be more then bright enough, got old videos with S95B showing with full daylight and windows beside that is zero issues so this will be superb, ;)

Thanks for your review, Caleb! Excellent as always. I recently ordered the 77” G4 and while it hasn’t arrived yet, this review is not giving me any buyers remorse. I’m so excited for the G4 to arrive!
The g4 is incredible. The image processing is miles better. Yeah color luminance is lower but I’ve never looked at an lg OLED and thought the colors seemed dull.
Enjoy the new tv!
Why did you not opt for a 98 inch tele?
@@Danny-Sladethere’s no MLA with the larger sizes
@@ZachChen1996 LG M3???
Dude you are getting a G4 and worried about buyers remorse? Lol, oled is oled, they all look amazing. Imagine what we had to choose from 10 plus years ago and you can get a S90c 77" for under $2k. You couldn't buy any oled for under $6k 10 gears ago.
The matte finish is amazing in bright rooms...but I love the glossy wet look
Me too, glossy pop colour and contrast more
The matte on the s95d looks flat compared to any glossy OLED.the irony is the s95d looks good in very low ambient light.
@@truthx7 it's not matte!
True, I love watching in the bright. It really fixes that issue.
When I go to theatres, I ask for all the lights to be on as well.
Curtains and blinds, the hell are those?
Love this new MiniLED from /s amsung, the Blooming is very minimal, very close to being an OLED.
Weird comment.
It's weird that there are no options. S95C has VERY VERY good reflection handling.
Options for what. The S95D is a better TV in any aspects compared with previous model and the competition. Don't judge before owning one.
Dear Caleb,
We have high demands from your videos and reviews because you are the best.
Don't take it to heart we all love you and thank you for your hard work!!
Glossy is always for me. I super upset this trend that OLED panels are taking. The same thing with the Steam Deck OLED, I ended up covering the etched glass with glossy screen protector to get that deep black solid look.
I game and watch at night and keep my TV away from windows. Don’t need matte
Have been a proud owner of a 55” G3 for over a month now and was truly blown away by the brightness when in a bright room and it’s sheer performance only downside is the AI could be better but i am not complaining
I saw the S95D in Best Buy and was hoping I would like it. The S95C looked great last year but had OneConnect box issues. The S95D looked a bit blurry/hazy to me so I decided to go for the LG G4. I also wasn't a fan of the A95L which was shocking since I went to the store thinking I would buy it.
you made a great choice
I'd have to go for the G4 this year. Brighter, awesome new motion handling tech and no milky screen to ruin the best part of an OLED.
All I will say is I have an old LG C8 that I still love and in a dark room is amazing, but with any light sources or even white walls behind it you WILL see it reflected. Today I visited Selfridge's in London and saw the S95D in the middle of a really bright shop hall with lights everywhere and, OH MY GOD, looking at the footage on the S95D was like looking at a moving matte painting. It is AMAZING
I saw it in person this week and the texture looks amazing. I prefer it over the G4 and A95L
Lol g4 beats sony and samsung.
@@gregxx6977 No it doesn't.
Yes, it's amazing. not like a traditional matte coating. it looks different. I like it
@@gregxx6977LG fanboy's troll alert 🤡
@@xforx8672 lmao newbie
Every review of the S95d and the G4 changes my mind. Im just going to hang it all on your upcoming comparison review (although I think I know which one will win). Anyway, in either case, you’re the best reviewer on YT.
Look at whole package , and price. Can't go wrong unless something that is important for you , is much better on the other
@@nimblegoat Thanks!
Both are great. Comes down to your room and size requirement. I have a lot of windows but wanted 83” so i went for G4. Glossiness is just beautiful and i don’t see any reflection at all. If 77” would be my size, i would probably go for Sony A95L still. Prefer the OS (don’t like LG’s nor Samsung’s).
Sony is not selling S95L in most parts of the world.
I work at an electronics retailer so i see these TV’s daily. I bought the LG G4
I was about to do the same until I came across the extensive discussion about the bugged HDMI2 (ARC) port on the LG. So I bought the S 95D.
Both have their advantages which you obviously have seen working at the store . I have to say I don’t much like the skin tones on the LG- all LG look to some extent Green (LG stands for looks green)- I admit the LG G4 looks the least Green of all of them, and is a fantastic TV with a number of advantages, including brightness, cool temp and build quality.
I will sum up the samsung advantages as better color volume and gamut, Lack of green push, thinner panel, and lack of bugged HDMI ARC port.
What didn’t you like with the S95D?
What would you choose between LG G4 v S95C?
@@kuldipsingh366I would choose the G4 over the S95C because it’s newer, brighter and has a better warranty. But if you can get a good deal on the S95C then I’d choose that and save my money as it’s still a great TV.
@@kineahora8736 but no dolby digital!
I LOVE my S95D. I can finally watch without being distracted by reflections of my couch, lights, windows etc. I waited for years to replace a TV because nothing was available before the S95D that would have addressed my issues with reflections.
The only TV reviewer worth listening to.
Not
I have to commend whoever shot this because their ability to capture the TV is simply second to none. I almost doubt the S95D looks that great in real life.
The thing is as a UK viewer - the 'watching TV in harsh lighting conditions' (that you mention) hardly ever occurs. More generally have had an OLED (LG CX) I like the 'black' and not sure of the 'sheen' effect. But your remark about seeing the TV in person does seem important for this TV - maybe more that others.
that was a great review Caleb, thanks for all of your hard work 💯👍👍
I never understood the criticism of the anti-glare display. In most bright lighting conditions, glossy OLEDs become virtually unwatchable and the S95D pretty much solves that entirely. And for the times when viewed in the dark, the anti-glare becomes a non issue since there is no external light to diffuse.
Plus, as a fan of watching films in theaters, I prefer the matte presentation over a glossy screen since it’s closer to what you get from a projector. Glossy screens seem more suited to product demos and sports viewing anyways.
Nope.
@@bearclaw5115Yep
In a dark room, you don't see the gloss or shine, with matte screen you lose a bit of contrast. In dayvlight it makes better viewing, no doubt.
Great review buddy!! 🎉 well said final statement!!! Btw are those new SVS towers in one of the shots?!!? You gotta review those for us!! 🎉
I'm using a 65S95b, I saw an S95D in the store, and after tinkering with the settings for an hour, I watched that classic Rabbit and Black cat video and opened some videos from the USB.
I think matte does not mean Good or Bad, but the choice should be made according to the level of reflection in the place where it will be used, depending on the situation of the house.
When you look at the Oled screen, it is as if colors are floating in water. This is the simplest way to look at it. This is not the case with the S95D matte panel. Oled TV is okay, but the feeling of extra liveliness that comes with brightness has been taken back a notch or two with the matte panel. In fact, world reviews also refer to the matte panel. He got points with two classes who didn't look at it very often and said it was very nice.
In my personal opinion, if you ask S95D or S90D, I would prefer the glossy S90D model or the S95C Model.
We all know that Sony supplies QD OLED panels from Samsung. If Sony uses Matte panels, I would say Samsung is on the right track with its new OLED series, but I would not buy MAT again.
The S95D with its matte panel didn't excite me as much as the S95C and S95B
Yesssss showing off that Warrior footage, this show needs more love!
I just want someone to side by side compare the S95D and the Sony Bravia 9 and tell me which one is the best.
Great job on the review! I would still go for a glossy panel but this TV still looks really good. Everyone has their own taste though. These TV's are so expensive and because of this fact I would just want the absolutely best picture. When I buy a new TV I normally hold onto it until it dies so it has to be the best right off the bat.
I have 8 6ft windows in my living room and glare always distracted. This TV has removed about 95% of it and the picture is great. I love the sound as well.
Man it was hard to pick between this one and the G4. Ultimately went with the G4 77 inch.
Right choice
Seen it myself, Black isn't black, it's grey...Might as well by the Frame at that point
You are wrong. It is just as black as any other oled.
no it's not, when light falls from the room to a antiglare screen, the light gets spreaded over the full screen and and brightens it up. so you're near black level encrases. A glare screen reflects the light bundled back. The bad thing there is, you can look at yourself on the screen, but the rest of the screen remains dark. In a dark room is no significant difference between both.
Yes Samsung PLEASE give us the glossy screen option on the flagship QD-OLED. PLEASE!
I had ordered this TV but when I saw it side by side by a QLED with the QLED showing better blacks, I immediately cancelled. Getting a g4 instead.
I have three 8' sliding glass door in my room. This is the only TV that makes sense. When I saw it at Best Buy, It really stood out from the crowd because I saw the image in the screen, not my reflection. Some other reviewers pointed out that in the dark, this TV looks pretty much exactly like a glossy TV. For critical viewing, you'd likely be in a pretty dark room. I usually watch the TV during the day and a projector at night. This TV is perfect for my needs. The house isn't finished yet, but Best Buy has my S95D in storage waiting :)
But what does it cost compared to the G4? Unless it's markedly cheaper, most people will take the better colours and mirror screen of the G4.
I think the anti glare screen is more distracting than having a small light reflection. It blows out the colors and blacks badly. Got the S95C instead.
If you want to use your influence, tell them that FANS DEMAND DOLBY VISION.
Samsung is simply a no go for me until they support the premiere HDR format in the marketplace.
Only if the difference between Dolby Vision and HDR10+ were like night and day in performance could fans justifiably “DEMAND DOLBY VISION." Samsung could unleash Dolby Vision tomorrow if they wanted to. Their restraint speaks volumes about the true value proposition of Dolby Vision.
I've owned TVs that proudly boasted Dolby Vision, but when I switched to HDR10+? Not a single tear was shed. In fact, HDR10+ has consistently blown me away, serving up a visual banquet that leaves me wondering why I ever bought into the Dolby Vision hype.
Don't let the HDR marketing machine pickpocket your wallet just for home theater bliss! These formats are more similar than the industry wants you to realize. This whole debacle reeks of the old Blu-ray vs HD DVD showdown - a battle of marketing FOMO rather than genuine technological superiority. It's like choosing between a $300 clock and a $30 one. Sure, the expensive one might have gold-plated hands, but does it really help you tell time any better?
Here's a jaw-dropper for you: Even LG, once Dolby Vision's staunchest ally, has started excluding it from their lower-tier TVs. Why? To save you, the savvy consumer, from unnecessary overhyped costs. That's right - the very company that championed Dolby Vision is now admitting it's not essential for every viewer.
Think about it: If Dolby Vision were truly the holy grail of HDR, we'd see a viewer uprising - we'd all be storming the gates of TV manufacturers, pitchforks and remotes in hand, demanding "DOLBY VISION OR DEATH!" But we're not, are we? Proving that our eyes can just be as satisfied with the alternatives.
Thanks and I am looking for s95d vs g4, based on your comparison I might decide which one. 😊
There is no comparison, Samsung's TV is best in every aspect possible. Don't make a mistake.
@@ADISTOD3MUSLG G4 better for gaming
@@JustALilBtcWrong, the G4 has myriad gaming issues. There is a line down the screen issue with the G4 also.
@@flingymingy is not ! I am using it with any problems.
Samsung only has one year warranty compared to five years for LG G4! In addition to the fact that they don’t want to have Dolby Vision and DTS:X is a deal killer for me.
dolby vision is grossly overrated and mostly indistinguishable from hdr10+ on a tv. And just use headphones or external speakers
@@ipodguy123g However, the difference in warranty isn't overrated.
@@ipodguy123gunderstandably most people just want DV because they want everything from a TV when they pay over $3k but let me tell you, my A95L has Dolby Vision and I don’t use it from how bad it is😂
@@ipodguy123gthe problem isn’t that DV is better than HDR10+ because like you said they are mostly indistinguishable from each other. It’s just that most content only supports DV and not 10+. And just saying use headphones isn’t a good argument against not having DTS:X
@@RBGT3RS Definitely agree with the not enough hdr10+ content point. I dont think ive seen that indicator pop up on my tv since i got it 2 years ago lol. But im not familiar with how audio codecs on tvs work. If i set up a speaker system to the tv or the source, does it still not output the input codec if the tv doesn’t support it?
*Samsung should use the anti reflective gorilla glass used on s24 ultra on 2025 oled TVs. It's glossy and anti reflective at the same time - the best of both worlds.*
They make this so difficult. Why don’t they all have Dolby vision, DTS, and QD-OLED.
For me a glossy screen is key, the issue I have adding a mat finish AFFECTS SHARPNESS as well as saturation take the fruit comparison with the g4 there is a clear noticeable degradation in texture of the fruit, another example fur looses Follicles to the point where the qd benefits are lossed to high end wold panel’s
**** NOT A TV FOR GAMERS** I have the S95D 77 inch, and the game mode Lag and create a pink image. Whatever the resolution, 60 native/120/144. Samsung. The only way that I can minimize the number of time it happened is by turn on and off game mode until it works....... It very bad honestly. But for the rest its a nice tv
And this anti-glare on a screen is why I used my Mitsubishi WD-82838 up to a few months ago. I had lights on in the room and the dlp set didn't care at all! Upgraded to a 4k dlp ust with a 100" hard frenal ALR screen and it is great! I have lights on in the rear of the room where I sit and the screen does not even show the slightest of them being on.
Same feelings, I wanted to go for the newest Sammy, but the diffuse anti-glare coating is not what I'm after, I'll wait until next year's model.
I have my eye on a G4. Do you have an estimation on when you’ll compare it to this in a dedicated video? I am really curious how well LG holds up with BT2020 content this generation.
Thanks for the review, Caleb. When is your review of the Bravia 9 coming?
Here in India a 55 inch S95D is available for about 1900$ and they're throwing in an extra 43 inch DU8300 Crystal 4K UHD Smart TV free with it and with 3 years of extended warranty
We bought the S95D 77” for $2000 off and ended up returning it. The reason? The anti-reflective coating causes blooming around bright highlights against a dark background, making it look like a mini-LED TV rather than an OLED with perfect contrast and inky blacks. This was while watching in a dark room too.
Also the motion processing is bad. We watched the Champion’s League final and it was nowhere near as clear as our 4 year old LG GX. This issue persisted no matter how much I tinkered with the motion settings.
We’re gonna get the LG G4 now instead.
This is disappointing to hear, but thanks for sharing! That's a good bit of info to know. I am on the hunt for the perfect gaming tv and was almost decided on the s95D
@@LittlePlant888 Happy to help anyone that’s looking for a new TV by sharing my experience!
To be fair, the blooming issue was mostly relegated to movie credits and subtitles. If you can look past that small issue, then the S95D is still a great TV, especially if you can get it on sale. The vividness of the colours is still something Samsung excels at.
It’s just that the screen coating kind of “flattens” the image and gets rid of the distinct 3D look that OLEDs are known for. That’s why my family is switching to the LG G4. Even though its colours aren’t as vivid as the Samsung, the image has a lot more depth and really pops out of the screen, thanks to the glossy coating. Plus the motion processing is great for watching sports.
But if you’re using it for gaming: I wouldn’t worry too much about the S95D. Unless you’re playing on a PC, in which case you’re limited to 120HZ, as the 144HZ mode doesn’t work properly with Samsungs one-connect box. But that’s something they might fix with an update. The LG G4 on the other hand is a fantastic gaming TV that does full 4k at 144Hz no problem.
I’d ultimately recommend buying whichever one you get the best deal on if you’re mainly gaming on it.
That is not bloom, it is glare. It happens due to high brightness. Gloss or matte, glare will be there
@@amrititbhu Thanks, I didn’t know that. Would there still be glare even when watching in a pitch black room?
Why didn’t you get an a95l over the g4?
Honestly I can't WAIT for a proper review for the s90d compared to lg g4 and a95l.... Such a big price difference and would have lovvveeeeeeeed to see a comparison with Dolby vision vs hdr10+ differences on those models
990D soundbar doesn't fit under the stand of 55 inch S95D
Off topic: is there a review for those SVS Pinnacles on the sides of the set?
Great review…one thing Samsung need to address is the one connect cable…I have a s95C…it comes with a super small and about 3 metre cable…not long enough!!!! Defeats the object of a one connect box!
When might we see the review for the 2024 TCL QM8?
What about the softness of the picture compared to Sony or LG G4? Samsung's processing just smears fine details and the picture has less clarity. Certainly, the colors of the Samsung are fantastic but lack of clarity and fine details in comparsion to Sony and LG G4 is inexcusable.
I agree with you. After a week with S90D I'm switching to Sony A80L. Brightness being better is just not enough to consider it as a good product.
Would you please provide the settings you used to calibrate your S95D to where family & friends were "Gob-smacked!" Thank you so much.
Even the same TV model is going to be different from panel to panel. I could provide the source of that statement but I cannot post links in RUclips.
Three bright large windows in front of my current TV. I need this TV. Next year when it comes down in price.
I can see outside my windows and watch TV at the same time.
The G4 looks way better and as much better contrast, due to the rubbish matte finish...
Great job Caleb. Nicely balanced review. Can’t wait for the glossy S95D-G! Hopefully Samsung is listening.
3:06 - it's one of them where you can see what it does, and it does it well I suppose, but for me paying a premium for it doesn't make much sense. If I was in a room with that level of issues with light and I was using the TV regularly, I'd just go with a high-end MiniLED personally.
But then I haven't seen it in person and people rave about the S95D, and they'll know better. It just doesn't convince me personally as a consumer that it's worth the outlay.
That is where you are wrong, even with a Miniled tv the screen looks like a mirror and you are watching yourself in it once it moves away from a full screen super bright scene, that that is way more distracting.
Thanks for a well balanced review. The anti-glare screen would probably not be for me, given the smearing, but your attempts to always be fair-minded are appreciated.
Great review @Caleb, your reviews are always informative, honest and helpful. I’ve been waiting for this review and it has helped me make my decision to buy. 😊
We just want Bravia 8 reviews. JK. As always, this IS the best TV review channel on RUclips
I seen and actually loved the anti-glare! Couldn’t even see my own reflection! That said, you mentioned blacks not looking inky but that’s with anything other then WOLED, but sadly not true, the MLA does it too, I can easily notice blacks not looking inky black on it with lighting in the room. I’m glad I got the G2.
But I’ll need another (bigger) tv eventually so idk what to do.. perhaps the C5 or S95E if they make it in an 83”
I hate reflective screens. My previous laptop (Sony Vaio) was a nightmare for screen reflection.
Luckily my TV (S95B) faces away from the window, so reflections aren't a big problem.
The only problem was the two remotes that came with it. Both had pointless streaming service buttons, but no Freeview guide button (for UK use). I've had to buy an older style Samsung remote with that button on. It's a must for viewing free TV in the UK.
It’s only glossy OLED for me. My Switch OLED is glossy, my LG GX OLED TV is glossy, and my ultra wide Alienware QD-OLED is glossy, and my Steam Deck OLED is the glossy middle model since the highest model has the matte anti glare finish. I’m not changing that
When will we see a review of Bravia 9?
Prolly after it actually releases lol
Light pumping😅
I don’t think OLEDs “suffer” or look worse in bright rooms. Just that its advantage of perfect blacks is greatly reduced or completely eliminated. Even a bad LED can have great blacks, let alone any modern mini LED.
We're in the market for a new TV - first oled - this year. Thanks for your videos: they help me so much comb through all the differences and details 🔥
Does it have Dolby vision?
The real question here.
No
Caleb, great video as always, you are the best. What would you choose between LG4 V S95C, last year's Samsung flagship Oled?
Ive said it before and ill say it again. This TV lets me easily watch content in lighting conditions that any normal glossy tv would not. Due to this simple reason alone, it is better for me than any other TV currently available. In light-controlled it looks as good as any other premium OLED.
If anyone else has this kind of problem, get this TV, there is no better option.
I have a 100" 4k ultra short throw projector with a frenal screen and do not have glossy issues either.
Thank you, and we appreciate you as well. I want to thank you also for having an honest answer and opinion about this TV. Your opinion is what we want to hear and not just some opinion that we would like you to say. ^^
I totally agree with you on the TV OS. I hate it. Everything else I love about it. And I do have the same soundbar as you. It's really good together.
Please put this TV up against Sony's 95l keep up the good work.
Sony a95l vs s95D can't wait looks like a draw for me💯
Thanks for the review! Looking forward to the vs LG G4 review. I hope we will see bigger screen sizes in the future. I currently have a 83A90J I would love to have a 97" qdoled or MLA oled in te future sadly both do not exist yet.
BTW do I spot SVS Evolution speakers over there? Are you also going to review
those?
I have Sony A95K 55 inch still in EU is available in Sony Center brand new, only in this size, My was out from factory 02/2024 because I purchased it one month ago. I chose this model because design for me is better than A95L, price is very similar between this two in this size. And this is picture quality, sony Master Series TV are amazing, before I have Sony Oled a84J also great TV, but this is step ahed.
And I thinking that my A95K is 2024/02 model so this Tv must have 2 gen qd-oled panel?
Had 3rd gen panel if Produktion line was 2024.
It is anti-glare similar to a computer monitor, but it is still a mat finish, does impact the image.
I've seen the same B&W movie 50+ times, now with S95D everything Pops! What I've been missing I now know.😂
This is not only the most versatile OLED ever since it does everything right like Gaming for example, stuff that other brands doesn't but it is the Best OLED TV ever right now hands down,you like it or not.
What technical element of a WOLED would create a “More Inky Black Level” than a QDOLED?
As a calibrator I have not noticed this.
I think it relates to the polariser or lack of in qd oled. I have a s90c and prefer it over the woled I've had before but I did notice lifted blacks with some ambient lighting a bit like the way a plasma screen isn't as black as traditional oled
There are two parts for this.
For second and third generation WOLED, LG Display gives those panels black surface treatments to absorb as much unwanted light from things like inbound light or light that the OLEDS generated but went the wrong way as possible. For second generation WOLED, LG Display uses a “Master Black” surface treatment. For third generation WOLED (which has MLA), LG Display uses a Vantablack surface treatment.
For QD-OLED, the quantum dots are out in front, so any inbound light that has high enough energy photons will excite the quantum dots, causing them to get excited and generate photons that go somewhere. The antiglare coating helps here by scattering inbound light so that some of it is directed away from the quantum dots, so colors are less distorted by wrongly-excited quantum dots releasing unwanted photons. This is less of a problem in LCD TVs since the quantum dot enhancement film that converts blue light from the backlight unit is behind the LCD cell which blocks a lot of inbound light. I also currently do not know of any black treatments to absorb unwanted light in QD-OLED panels, but I could be wrong about this.
Thanks guys, I was multi tasking during the original view. I didn’t hear Andrew say, “When the lights are up, I mean really up”
Yes am aware of a moderately raised black level in that circumstance on QD OLED’s
I have since found an error in my previous post. Samsung Display did add an anti-reflective layer to its second generation QD-OLED, but tests show that while it helps compared to first generation QD-OLED, second generation QD-OLEDs still reflect more than WOLEDs and some LCDs.
Awesome! How much better is it compared to S90C?
Check his S90 review and compare it yourself dude
I loved this review. I think the S95D is more impressive than the G4, and I was impressed with the G4
Hi? Can you address in the s90d vs s95d comparison the rather huge difference in montion clarity? Like really, really huge. Just look at any comparison video and find a scene that is not slow motion or still and pause it. Tech with kg has a great comparison with only 2 tvs. Anyways it's such a shocking difference. I believe you will be as floored as I was. One is very clear the other is very, very blurry!! How has this gone unnoticed? Even small movements like the brush moving slowly over the green sandy stuff has ridiculous differences. Blurry vs seeing every last grain. Anyways, this is everything from sports to john wick and well anything with non slow motion movement so its a great selling point. Why would samsung not advertise a 5/10 vs a 9/10 motion clariry difference did they regret their choice? Serriously confused consumer here having watch every last video and live stream with many sports scene analyses and not a single mention. They only checked the little football moving insanely fast and far from the camera and missed blurry players. How the new processors handle specific circumstances does not necessarily represent generalities like test patterns vs real content.
I have it with Q soundbar...it's worth every penny and it works well with windows facing the tv.
"Gob smacked just smacked all up in their Gob"...I have to say the same happened to me and a few of my friends when seeing the Samsung S95D.
TV looks good on my phone but I'm a glossy screen man.😊
If it's the same coating as the S24 Ultra, then I see it as a win. In person, it's great. Especially in *bright/weird environments.
Great video, will there be a discussion on banding on the C4/G4 LGs versus the C3/G3 versus the QDOLED. I’m on the fence and need to know if the G4 has resolved the banding issue that has been an issue of RGB OLED (like my C1).
Classy Tech Calibrations has done some comparisons and shows that the C4 looks quite a bit better than the S90D despite only being WRGB OLED with no MLA or heatsink. He also did a livestream comparing the G4, S95D, and A95L and is working on a detailed video comparing them. Check it out because he goes into good detail about bugs and issues with tone mapping and stuff like that.
I actually got to see one today at my local electrical store. I really didn’t know what to think about it prior to seeing it.
Well, personally, it looked fantastic and the mat screen looked great to my eyes. The images presented certainly looked rich and colourful. The new G4 was also on display, and it too looked brilliant.
Decisions decisions…..
Hey Caleb, I’m wondering if you are going to review the S90D as well? I would like to see you review it. It would be nice to get some mid-range OLED TV reviews for the 2024 lines.
Great review Caleb. Samsung may not be able to escape the outcome of the S95D's success, its a lose lose situation for them in the coming years unless they make 2 different OLED SKUs with identical specs for picture quality. I think some people will love the OLED glare free design so much that it would be a mistake for Samsung to cut it, but on the other hand you have to understand its not going to be ideal for all rooms and those people deserve a flagship on the same level with a glossy coating. So whats the solution? Maybe they have to make them the same specs but make the choice to give one the one connect box + infinity design while the other doesn't but as long they have equal picture quality and the same panel people would be happy with that outcome.
Thanks Caleb. Your passion is appreciated.
When I need to know about a TV you are the best. Question do you have any recommendations for the best budget TV's for 2024
I’m not a fan of Samsung’s heavily boosted colors. It’s the same deal with their phones.
That said - I’m struggling to choose between this and the G4 for a computer display. I will mainly be playing games such as Flight sim and other regular 4K HDR games. Any thoughts?
Lovely thorough review again Caleb. Is it bright enough for standard sdr though?
S95B was more than fine enough so I would imagine so. Would prefer glossy as the S95B and S90C were incredibly well done, prefer over matte which been used on led in past but looking at this. Tv now after moving country, too much fuzzz about which models are actually QD Oled as well I see some that ordered around world got the 14xx firmware on the S90/95C so better start from fresh with firmwares and cut net when I see it comes too its peak, but the One Connect box is what worries most as it got around 1 faults with dropouts out of 10 tvs roughly, it looks great and early firmware is a big plus.
If I knew I could get the S90D with QD Oled it be a safer buy as well full bandwidth which ps5 pro will take advantage of.
It will be more then bright enough, got old videos with S95B showing with full daylight and windows beside that is zero issues so this will be superb, ;)
Is there any comparison between the 2 processors - Neural Quantum Processor 4K (S95C) vs NQ4 AI Gen 2 (S95D)?
I'm sure this was a pain in the ass to do! Much respect! Fair and balanced.
I have some videos you could play on that tv to make it much more controversial 😂
