You need to disable VRR / Game-Motion / 120hz modes It needs to run at native 60hz with 16ms refresh, otherwise you will seriously gimp the local dimming, resulting in poor HDR. Btw huge props to you my friend! Reducing contrast in HDR I thought was a cardinal sin, but it turns out as you point out, that reducing contrast with HGIG, gives the advantage of hard-clipping the peak brightness, and then matching your contrast to fit with it, so you don't clip any highlights (which you do at 50 contrast) On my QN95A I need contrast reduced to around 39, to avoid any clipping of White, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta. I specifically chose the 75" to get 1000 dimming zones, achieving much more localized control of contrast. Whereas the QN90B 65" only have 720 dimming zones, worse PQ eotf tracking, lower contrast, lower peak brightness in real scenes etc etc. (Rtings)
For QN90A - but applies to any QLED in broard terms. This is Samsungs aporoach with their locally dimmed QLED's - due to LCD lifted blacks the image will appear dull and washed out, which is then 'corrected' by overly clipping the colors with too high contrast - making the image pop regardless of poor contrast ratio, - but the image is also much much brighter than the PQ EOTF. by reducing contrast below clip level, your image will look even duller and matte - that is until you start reducing shadow detail, obtaining real black - allowing you to actually reduce contrast below clip level without the image appearing washed out. Then a new problem arises, the image is now much darker than PQ EOTF, which then has to be corrected by increasing ST.2086 until you gain the correct amount of brightness. +1 ST.2086 -2 Shadow detail 39 contrast No HGIG. No 120hz mode No Freesync -As these will heavily impact local dimming negatively, because of how the image will refresh much faster, reducing the amount of time the local dimming processing can work with each frame. Simply running -2 ST. 2086 Will not get you true black, and will also overly darken the midtones. An image that in many instances will seem overly dark. - and then comes the trap that many fall into, attempting to regain correct brightness by running highly clipped contrast at 45 - 50. This will give an overly dark and contrasty image, with overly bright blown out highlights and overly dark midtones. In one scene your screen is way too bright, and in the next your screen is overly dark, a real paradox. If you want your QLED to hit as close to an OLED as possible (though not entirely achieveable) use my approach, - use the PS5 RUclips app, where you can get loads of test patterns to adjust game mode. These settings will only work for QN90A game-mode. +1 ST.2086 -2 Shadow detail 39 contrast

@@aayushmeena3516 no, because the low grayscale in game mode is much brighter. That means u will never lose dark details even with -3.

@@Diegoacosta4250 ahí depende un poco de tu gusto, ya que muchas películas o series tienen un efecto de ruido, lo que si te recomiendo es que para nada uses el digital clean view o reducción de ruido ya que pierde detalle.

The issue with sharpness setting on Samsung is even at 0 there is undefeatable processing. Both sharpening and smoothing filters. No way to get a native neutral detail.
If I would leave sharpness at 0 with my PC connected I would end up with a total un-sharp picture. I tested so many test pictures and clearly 10 is the best setting for MY PC. If I use the same test pictures on the consoles 10 is way to sharp and it will add artifacts . Not sure what I am doing wrong or what is wrong here
@@GamingTech-RUclips yes on PC game mode there are 2 ways technically to get PC game mode on the TV. One of them 10 is similar to 0 on every other mode. Do you have any non 4k demo discs like Digital Video Essentials or Disney Wow? Those are good for upscale testing.
One thing about Samsung TV's. Turning auto-update off does not prevent you from getting your TV updated. As long as it is connected to the internet updates will still be forced by Samsung. The only way to prevent it is not to connect to the internet. Learned this the hard way on QN90A.
If you name the HDMI input PC which enable PC Mode, the correct/neutral sharpness is 10 on the Samsung QN95B, but if you don't enable PC Mode on any other HDMI input, 0 is the correct/neutral sharpness setting. My recomendation is to enable PC Mode on all HDMI inputs for the best picture quality and response times.
I learned how to calibrate my TV watching some of your videos and you’ve always been great with your information. I have a QN90A and since it’s less bright than your TV I had to go to 44 for brightness. Otherwise your settings are very close to mine. I also agree with what you say about sharpness. On my TV I found 10 was a bit high but 8 seemed to give my picture good clarity
In regard to local dimming set to high or standard. Have you noticed game HUD elements discoloration issue? On QN90A for example in Cyberpunk 2077 if the screen has a lot of dark elements, or dark elements directly behind the HUD the TV dimming algorithm will wash out the whole HUD making it dim and faded. The only mode to prevent it is on the LOW setting. I can even see the algorithm dimming TV's menu elements when you switch options in your video. It's when you have a small menu and are switching between standard and high local dimming options.
I wish samsung would fix the HGIG on their tvs.. the tv still does some dynamic tone mapping even with HGIG enabled so you're getting a double tone mapped imagine for gaming.
Hi there,please try for game mode hdr Brightness 45 Contrast 40 Sharpness 6-8 no more Color 25 Local D high Contrast enhancer off or low Color tone warm 2 ST.2084 on 0 Shadow det 0
I have a Qn95A. These settings I also myself found to be good on QN95A, but right now I'm not so sure. Game HDR, it does some good, but also bad in my view. I'm still not sure about this one. Also lowering gamma -2, or -3 affects colors, I'm still not sure. It's more accurate but it's an S shape gamma. And sharpness finally I turned it off, for 1440p+ games. It adds noise and doesn't look that good. So I just lower the TV contrast and maybe play with in game brightness/gamma. SDR game mode is worse, overbrightened, not accurate. Mornings look like it's 13:00 o'clock. Samsung should do more for game mode.
Hey, love this video. Quick question, did you ever figure out the sharpness setting for game mode on console? It defaults to 10 (like you suggested is correct for pc gaming) but just wondering if you landed somewhere different?
6:25 Sharpness at 0 is the best when playing on a console. They are designed to have everything at 4k resolution so adding sharpness will make it look worse. You need sharpness at 10 on PC like you said because most things are 1080p.
@William LeGod Just the way it is. On PC the apps you use, browser and websites you visit arent 4k. Just 1080p. On PC if I dont have the sharpness at 10 everything is blurry and hard to read. That's why its perfect it to use it on PC but not on PS5 and Xbox.
Brother please tell about samsung qn90c game mode setting i m not getting the picture output i want please help sometimes its too bright some times its too dark please help. My tv is 55 inch🙏
Excellent video and thank you for the information! I have only one question: when you watch hdr content at night and the room is dark, how can your eyes stand the brightness at 50?
Hello brother what do you recommend? S90C 55", QN95B 55", LG OLED C1 48" or C2 48" for PC gaming/occasional movie consumption? also if i buy either of the samsung TVs i will get a free benq portable projector with it as a bonus. i prefer glossy panels over matte coating.
Thanks for the settings, i used my CX for 2 years gaming bo issues just HGIG is so dim, now im gaming my ps5 on qn90a HGIG is much better brightness details, now i only used my CX for movie watching.
Hello, I’m using my PS5 on my 65 inch QN90B which I have just purchased last week do you recommend these settings for me to use and also how many clicks for the hdr adjustment for the ps5 ? and I know for the last one is the darkest

Great Video :) I have copied your settings and will try it now. Do you also have a video for TV settings ? I am still struggling with some micro lags with SAT TV in case of non HD content.
Can someone please help me. Just bought the AU8000 today and I have my Xbox series x to go with it. I'm using the hdmi fast speed cables provided with the xbox and have it plugged into hdmi 1 slot. I enabled the input signal for hdmi 1 also on my TV for my xbox and have game mode set to auto. But when I click on the game hrd to enable it says "this function isn't available". I also enabled all upgraded view modes in the general section of my xbox. What am I missing please and thank you? Simply want to enable game mode hrd but can't.
I'm all for you upgrading your tv set, but please don't forget about your subscribers who own the LG CX. I feel like that is a large part or your subscription base and while I can't speak for them it was a huge reason why I subscribed to your channel.......and I don't intend to upgrade anytime soon.
@@GamingTech-RUclips hi guys and thank you for reply,i had this issue only once when i was watching Irishman on netflix,Loki QN95A its not cheaper tv,its the best tv from 2021 and its amazing for ps5,i am so happy i can control motion for games up to 60hz
What is the difference between Plus and Pro Gaming Motion Settings? The QN95B should have Pro and not Plus - wondering about the menu name in your video. I can't find any details about the difference. Anyone knows? Is it required / better (because I'm thinking about to buy the QN800B with only Plus but my boys play on this TV with PS4 Pro)? Thanks
Settings are almost all same on all Samsung TVs. I use mostly same settings like you except Sharpness - 0 at everything, because its oversharpening image and of course Color Tone i personally love Standard. Samsung even have on official site - Standard - Adds no hue to colors. Warm 2 is not looking natural at all if you like yellow text or snow... Those are my personal settings on 65inch Q7F from 2017, enjoy your Samsung and i hope you like it.
hello with this settings the colors and light are good in game mode ? because the tests of this TV indicates that it s impossible in game mode to have a correct accuracy And can we apply another mode of image with the ps5 like cinema mode to have more accuracy ? Thanks :)
Hi 👋 GamingTech Just one question. I recently bought the S95B and was wondering how dim the image can get. Honestly I’m really disappointed, cause one of the reasons why I decided to Switch my LG C9 was the max peak brightness of the s95 but it gets really dark after 6 min of playing. Does this also happens with you QN95? Any advices would be really welcome 🙏🏻 Planing to return it and go with the QN95 but I’m really unsure 🫤
@@GamingTech-RUclips you’re the best . Was planing to return it but it fixed everything. Now the S95B looks really bright. As you mentioned my auto logo brightness was set to High. I also saw a video from HDTVs from yesterday where he’s talking about the Auto Dimming. Would be great if you can talk about this in your next stream .
Hi really impressive detailed tutorial. But i have a problem: i have the samsung QN92B witch is Basically the same as th QN90B and im using an xbox one X, but in the tv HDR Tone mapping i cannot turn game hdr on maybe someone could help me thanks alot
Hello Which TV do you recommend for desktop PC and console gaming? S95B OLED 55 inch S90C OLED 55 inch C2 OLED 48 inch QN95B mini-led 55 inch Sony A80K OLED 65" All of them cost approximately between $800 to $950. Thank you.
@@GamingTech-RUclips Yes my brother, I will only do gaming on it. You like the C2 panel better than S90C because of it's glossiness? Is it true that the glossiness of LG OLED TVs give them inkier blacks and better clarity than Samsungs QD-OLED TV's?
@@Greystonee I like my S95C much better than my LG G2 . But the pixel structure can make small text on the S95C look blurry compared top the G2. If I would need to decide I would go for my S95C again
@GamingTech-RUclips is there any difference between S90C and S95B? Isnt the latter supposed to be better than S90C? have you ever used any 55 inch television with a computer? Isn't 55 inch too big for desktop gaming? Although I have a big desk space I can easily place a 55 inch TV on it but I fear it might give me eye strain which I never experience not even in VR but some people on the internet say 55 inch television will give you eye strain not sure how true that is. I really like bigger TV's because they are more immersive there is not doubt about that, but I'm afraid 55 will be too big for desktop PC usage, not sure if I should go with LGs 48 inch C2 because of higher PPI and more fitting size for desktop usage, but for $120 more I can get a brand new 55 inch S90C which is better in terms of color and brightness because of the quantum dot panel, don't know man there are so many options, pros and cons for both Samsung and LG OLEDs. I also saw your videos praising the mini-led QN95B, is it even comparable to QD-OLEDs? Appreciate you for responding brother, thank you for your help. And I'm sorry for asking so many questions.🙏
@@GamingTech-RUclips Samsung just released Firmware 1302 the other day. It's not on their website, and some say they pulled it already....I got it pushed to my S95B already and have a video on the way showing the difference from 1211.2 as it only affected Movie Mode from my understanding.

Gamma at -2 leaves the screen way too dim for me, and colors are oversaturated. I have it set to 2 and sometimes to 3. Some youtubers are saying 3 and some say to decrease it to -2. I am very confused. Overall I am not happy with this TV when it comes to gaming. The screen is way too bright in the evening when playing games. And colors are oversaturated. I wish I bought an OLED. LG C1 or something. I just feel the colors are not the way the game developers intended, when I compare to screenshots online.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this TV versus the qn90b. I've checked Rtings and on balance the qn90b is brighter and has a far better colour volume, I mean the colour volume for rec 2020 on the qn95b is really poor. Anyone have any experience of this?
I have a 65" QN90B. The only significant difference in hardware is the lack of the OneConnect box mounted at the lower-center of the TV's back panel. All the inputs are in the right side as usual with Samsung. I honestly think the 90B is the better bang for the buck before diminishing returns, esp if you can get it at Black Friday prices.
Why would you compare it yo CX? It has washed colors being WOLED tv. Set color space to Native or, set color space to custom select bt2020 then again seitch yo normal, this improves tone mapping a lot. Just try to play a game and go to photo mode during and explosion or looking at the sky, switch color space to native and tone mapping will improve a lot, at expense of color accuracy. This kind of behaviour is happpening for years now

Wen du Schärfe auf 10 lässt während du alles andere als den pc modus an hast ist es falsch. Auch ist es so, das Oled‘s, wie dein LG, schärfer wirken im Vergleich, das liegt warscheins an der leucht Technik da jeder pixel selber leuchtet.

@@Diegoacosta4250 ahí depende un poco de tu gusto, ya que muchas películas o series tienen un efecto de ruido, lo que si te recomiendo es que para nada uses el digital clean view o reducción de ruido ya que pierde detalle. Para imagen nítida lo dejaría en 5 o incluso hasta 6 si quieres que se vea un poco más marcado todo
0-20 on Samsung, so 4 is about 20%.
The issue with sharpness setting on Samsung is even at 0 there is undefeatable processing. Both sharpening and smoothing filters. No way to get a native neutral detail.
If I would leave sharpness at 0 with my PC connected I would end up with a total un-sharp picture. I tested so many test pictures and clearly 10 is the best setting for MY PC. If I use the same test pictures on the consoles 10 is way to sharp and it will add artifacts . Not sure what I am doing wrong or what is wrong here
@@GamingTech-RUclips yes on PC game mode there are 2 ways technically to get PC game mode on the TV. One of them 10 is similar to 0 on every other mode.
Do you have any non 4k demo discs like Digital Video Essentials or Disney Wow? Those are good for upscale testing.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Thanks! I will do more testing with sharpness.
@@GamingTech-RUclips it seems to me that sharpness 0 looks blurry - but increasing sharpness looks jagged 😅😅😅

One thing about Samsung TV's. Turning auto-update off does not prevent you from getting your TV updated. As long as it is connected to the internet updates will still be forced by Samsung. The only way to prevent it is not to connect to the internet. Learned this the hard way on QN90A.
If you name the HDMI input PC which enable PC Mode, the correct/neutral sharpness is 10 on the Samsung QN95B, but if you don't enable PC Mode on any other HDMI input, 0 is the correct/neutral sharpness setting. My recomendation is to enable PC Mode on all HDMI inputs for the best picture quality and response times.
I learned how to calibrate my TV watching some of your videos and you’ve always been great with your information. I have a QN90A and since it’s less bright than your TV I had to go to 44 for brightness. Otherwise your settings are very close to mine. I also agree with what you say about sharpness. On my TV I found 10 was a bit high but 8 seemed to give my picture good clarity
Thanks for sharing the settings I will try them
For the consoles try sharpness at 4. That’s what I use and find it perfect
Will test it!
y para películas hdr? yo lo tengo en 10 o es mejor bajarlo
@@GamingTech-RUclipsyes sharpness at 5 is the best on consoles
Danke!
Thank You so much!!!
In regard to local dimming set to high or standard. Have you noticed game HUD elements discoloration issue? On QN90A for example in Cyberpunk 2077 if the screen has a lot of dark elements, or dark elements directly behind the HUD the TV dimming algorithm will wash out the whole HUD making it dim and faded. The only mode to prevent it is on the LOW setting. I can even see the algorithm dimming TV's menu elements when you switch options in your video. It's when you have a small menu and are switching between standard and high local dimming options.
I used most of your settings but I kept colour tone at standard as warm 2 was way too much.
Even Warm 1 was pushing it.
Thanks for the video 😊
I wish samsung would fix the HGIG on their tvs.. the tv still does some dynamic tone mapping even with HGIG enabled so you're getting a double tone mapped imagine for gaming.
Yes unfortunately this is happening
Hi there,please try for game mode hdr
Brightness 45
Contrast 40
Sharpness 6-8 no more
Color 25
Local D high
Contrast enhancer off or low
Color tone warm 2
ST.2084 on 0
Shadow det 0
Sharpness is best at 5
I have a Qn95A. These settings I also myself found to be good on QN95A, but right now I'm not so sure.
Game HDR, it does some good, but also bad in my view. I'm still not sure about this one.
Also lowering gamma -2, or -3 affects colors, I'm still not sure. It's more accurate but it's an S shape gamma. And sharpness finally I turned it off, for 1440p+ games. It adds noise and doesn't look that good.
So I just lower the TV contrast and maybe play with in game brightness/gamma.
SDR game mode is worse, overbrightened, not accurate. Mornings look like it's 13:00 o'clock. Samsung should do more for game mode.
Hey, love this video. Quick question, did you ever figure out the sharpness setting for game mode on console? It defaults to 10 (like you suggested is correct for pc gaming) but just wondering if you landed somewhere different?
6:25 Sharpness at 0 is the best when playing on a console. They are designed to have everything at 4k resolution so adding sharpness will make it look worse. You need sharpness at 10 on PC like you said because most things are 1080p.
Most games on consoles are not native 4k though
@@DukeOfSera The PS5 UI and games have 4k in mind. Tho most games arent native 4k but they use checkerboarding to reach 4k.
@William LeGod Just the way it is. On PC the apps you use, browser and websites you visit arent 4k. Just 1080p. On PC if I dont have the sharpness at 10 everything is blurry and hard to read. That's why its perfect it to use it on PC but not on PS5 and Xbox.
@@doctorsilva1345 checkerboard sucks and on pc u can see 1440p resolutions too. Most high end pcs are on 1440p.
Sharpness on 5 is the best in everything

Can someone please help me. Just bought the AU8000 today and I have my Xbox series x to go with it. I'm using the hdmi fast speed cables provided with the xbox and have it plugged into hdmi 1 slot.

I also enabled all upgraded view modes in the general section of my xbox. What am I missing please and thank you? Simply want to enable game mode hrd but can't.
Do you have a video when playing HDR games with this settings on xbox serie x ?
Also what version of firmware you have ?
Can you repeat this video with the latest firmware update please
ok I did your seetings for my xbox series x and playing Resident evil 4 remake. But now with your settings its really dark 😞
I'm all for you upgrading your tv set, but please don't forget about your subscribers who own the LG CX.

What is the difference between Plus and Pro Gaming Motion Settings? The QN95B should have Pro and not Plus - wondering about the menu name in your video. I can't find any details about the difference. Anyone knows? Is it required / better (because I'm thinking about to buy the QN800B with only Plus but my boys play on this TV with PS4 Pro)? Thanks
Settings are almost all same on all Samsung TVs. I use mostly same settings like you except Sharpness - 0 at everything, because its oversharpening image and of course Color Tone i personally love Standard. Samsung even have on official site - Standard - Adds no hue to colors. Warm 2 is not looking natural at all if you like yellow text or snow... Those are my personal settings on 65inch Q7F from 2017, enjoy your Samsung and i hope you like it.
This is true....but warm 2 pops more....but also makes a clear sky tinted
hello with this settings the colors and light are good in game mode ? because the tests of this TV indicates that it s impossible in game mode to have a correct accuracy
And can we apply another mode of image with the ps5 like cinema mode to have more accuracy ? Thanks :)
Hi 👋 GamingTech
Just one question.
I recently bought the S95B and was wondering how dim the image can get. Honestly I’m really disappointed, cause one of the reasons why I decided to Switch my LG C9 was the max peak brightness of the s95 but it gets really dark after 6 min of playing.
Does this also happens with you QN95?
Any advices would be really welcome 🙏🏻
Planing to return it and go with the QN95 but I’m really unsure 🫤
No no issue here with my QN95B. This sounds like you play games with a lot of static symbols. can you turn off logo diming?
@@GamingTech-RUclips you’re the best . Was planing to return it but it fixed everything. Now the S95B looks really bright. As you mentioned my auto logo brightness was set to High. I also saw a video from HDTVs from yesterday where he’s talking about the Auto Dimming. Would be great if you can talk about this in your next stream .

Hello
Which TV do you recommend for desktop PC and console gaming?
S95B OLED 55 inch
S90C OLED 55 inch
C2 OLED 48 inch
QN95B mini-led 55 inch
Sony A80K OLED 65"
All of them cost approximately between $800 to $950.
Thank you.
@@Greystonee are you just playing? Then check the S90C and see if you like the panel coating. If not, the LG C2 is a fantastic TV
@@GamingTech-RUclips Yes my brother, I will only do gaming on it.
You like the C2 panel better than S90C because of it's glossiness?
Is it true that the glossiness of LG OLED TVs give them inkier blacks and better clarity than Samsungs QD-OLED TV's?
@@Greystonee I like my S95C much better than my LG G2 . But the pixel structure can make small text on the S95C look blurry compared top the G2. If I would need to decide I would go for my
S95C again
@GamingTech-RUclips is there any difference between S90C and S95B? Isnt the latter supposed to be better than S90C? have you ever used any 55 inch television with a computer?
Isn't 55 inch too big for desktop gaming? Although I have a big desk space I can easily place a 55 inch TV on it but I fear it might give me eye strain which I never experience not even in VR but some people on the internet say 55 inch television will give you eye strain not sure how true that is.
I really like bigger TV's because they are more immersive there is not doubt about that, but I'm afraid 55 will be too big for desktop PC usage, not sure if I should go with LGs 48 inch C2 because of higher PPI and more fitting size for desktop usage, but for $120 more I can get a brand new 55 inch S90C which is better in terms of color and brightness because of the quantum dot panel, don't know man there are so many options, pros and cons for both Samsung and LG OLEDs.
I also saw your videos praising the mini-led QN95B, is it even comparable to QD-OLEDs?
Appreciate you for responding brother, thank you for your help.
And I'm sorry for asking so many questions.🙏

Why hdr looks so dark after activate it
Does anyone have any knowledge of this TV versus the qn90b. I've checked Rtings and on balance the qn90b is brighter and has a far better colour volume, I mean the colour volume for rec 2020 on the qn95b is really poor. Anyone have any experience of this?
I have a 65" QN90B. The only significant difference in hardware is the lack of the OneConnect box mounted at the lower-center of the TV's back panel. All the inputs are in the right side as usual with Samsung. I honestly think the 90B is the better bang for the buck before diminishing returns, esp if you can get it at Black Friday prices.
Most of the others use ST.2084 as +3 but u do -2. My TV is samsung q7. Could you help me pls?
Why would you compare it yo CX? It has washed colors being WOLED tv.
Set color space to Native or, set color space to custom select bt2020 then again seitch yo normal, this improves tone mapping a lot. Just try to play a game and go to photo mode during and explosion or looking at the sky, switch color space to native and tone mapping will improve a lot, at expense of color accuracy.

Schärfe auf 0 mein Freund. Film modus zeigt ja auch 0 an. Im PC modus ist alles unter 10 nicht mehr neutral das stimmt war bei den älteren Samsung auch schon so. Wen du Schärfe auf 10 lässt während du alles andere als den pc modus an hast ist es falsch. Auch ist es so, das Oled‘s, wie dein LG, schärfer wirken im Vergleich, das liegt warscheins an der leucht Technik da jeder pixel selber leuchtet. Also nicht wundern das der Lg schärfer wirkt auf 0 im Vergleich zum Samsung. Spiele selbst auf einem Samsung uhd auf ps5, schärfe habe ich natürlich auf 0 und es ist korrekt 👍🏻
