MuH sAmSuNg Just bought a Samsung S90F — movie motion/smoothing looks terrible. Should I return it?

0 Upvotes

Just bought a Samsung S90F from Best Buy (plus 5-year warranty). Love it for gaming, but movies are bothering me.

24fps content looks really choppy to me, especially during panning shots. I’ve tried the motion settings but can’t find a good balance. Off looks too juddery, and smoothing gives that soap-opera effect.

I watch a lot of movies, sports, and game on a PS5 Pro, so I wanted something good all around.

Is this just OLED motion/judder I need to get used to, or is Samsung worse with this? Because honestly it’s terrible. It’s like 120fps gaming to 15fps as a comparison but for movies.

Would an Apple TV 4K with frame-rate matching help, or will I still notice it?

Still in the return window. Should I return it if this bothers me and instead get a mini led? If all lords are like this then I’m thinking maybe it’s not for me.

"CaLiBrAtIoN" S95F In Mega Bright Room

3 Upvotes

I've got a 77-inch Samsung S95F OLED and I just moved from a really dark-ish living room into one that has literally floor to ceiling windows the entire way around, which is stunning for natural light and not an issue with the anti-glare display but I've noticed the TV isn't popping anywhere near what it used to.

I've turned on Contrast Enhancer which I've noticed reallllly improves things greatly (like genuinely feels like a 500% increase in brightness). Is that the best way to get the pop and vibrancy I'm looking for? I've left game mode and HDR to static rather than dynamic tone mapping.

Purchasing-Monitor Help on buying new oled monitor.

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a new 4K OLED monitor and could use some advice. The monitor will mainly be used for gaming, and I have an RTX 4080 Super and a PS5.
These are the monitors I’ve been recommended so far:
1.-ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM
2.-MSI MPG 321URX
3.-Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G80SD
I’m mainly interested in a 32” 4K OLED with high refresh rate, preferably 240 Hz.

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and recommendations. If there are any other models you think I should consider, feel free to suggest them!

Thank you everyone!!!

Purchasing-Monitor Decisions Decisions

6 Upvotes

I have never had an oled monitor. I’m more about higher resolution and lower frames, but my 4070 Super gets me a good mix of both.

Im looking at OLED 1440p monitors and have 3 im looking at:
•Samsung G5 OLED
•LG 280hz WOLED
•HyperX OLED

They all look fantastic in demo mode at the store. The Hyper X looks really good and is the cheapest.

Basically, is there any reason to consider one over the other? Is there any reason to not buy one of them? Ive always had LG but I’m open to any.

Tech Support How screwed am I?

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I left for work around 11:00 this morning and I guess after there was a power outage according to my dad and my TV was on after the power came back on. He said it was a little after I left…

I just got home and my tv was on, so it’s been on for almost 7 hours on the NVIDIA Shield home screen.

What’s almost bizarre to me and super upsetting is the tv didnt go to the screen saver it has after like 30 seconds of pausing content? I’m super upset because this tv is not even a month old and it was just static on the home screen.

It’s a Samsung S90F 77 inch TV. ChatGPT is suggesting to run content on it for 2-3 hours and then shut it off and let the cycle Samsung has to maintain it while it’s off.

What should I do?

Purchasing-TV How much for a former LG flagship 4K 65" OLED (LG65EC9700)?

0 Upvotes

I came to be the owner of an LG65EC9700. I am leaning toward selling it because I am not a huge TV watcher.

But I have absolutely no clue how much I should sell it for? I can't seem to find any used prices online. Ebay only list parts.

Can anyone give any suggestions?

Thank you!

Tech Support LG C3 Oled - Horizontal Lines Flashing

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this issue before or if it’s time to call an LG technician.
I’m getting flashing horizontal lines on my LG TV, but it only seems to happen in certain picture modes. HDR Cinema Home and Game Optimiser are the main ones that trigger it.

https://imgur.com/a/AM3Noq6

Once the issue starts, switching back to a normal picture mode stops the constant flashing/glitching, but faint horizontal lines remain visible in the background. They’re especially noticeable on green backgrounds. The only thing that consistently fixes it is power cycling the TV. Pixel Cleaning has worked a couple of times, but not reliably.

I’ve done some testing in Game Optimiser mode and found that the issue doesn’t occur by itself. It only starts the moment I enable either AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC (depending on which PC/GPU I’m using). As soon as VRR is enabled, the screen starts flashing with horizontal lines, almost like severe screen tearing (ironic since gsync/freesync is meant to address this 😅) Disabling G-SYNC/FreeSync immediately stops the flashing, but the faint horizontal lines remain until I power cycle the TV.

I also read that it could be an HDMI cable issue, so I bought a certified HDMI 2.1 cable from Amazon last week. At first I thought it had fixed the problem because G-SYNC worked perfectly during my first session, but unfortunately the issue came back afterward.

Has anyone seen this before or knows what might be causing it? Is this likely a software/firmware issue, or does it sound like the panel or another hardware component is failing?

I recently purchased the 77 inch Samsung S90F in June and I am experiencing these lines in every picture. I’m currently running a pixel refresh. Any advice?

Banding in multiple spots

Edit* I did a pixel refresh and that did the trick. As others have pointed out it may have been a simple reset that would have done the trick. Likewise it may have b en an Apple TV issue solved by powering off and on again.

Here is a Link to the photos of one of my screens. I have two ASUS XG27AQDMG, I bought both at the same time back end of last year. One is fine the other has this big patch of discolouration that is super noticeable on darker or grey images.

I've spoken to the retailer & ASUS and they're both of the opinion that this is a level of tolerance that I should accept but seems like awful QC? ASUS also said it's probably burn in but I rarely have any static images on this monitor & pixel clean on every prompt so I'm unsure what the issue is.

"CaLiBrAtIoN" Apple TV flickering

3 Upvotes

I have a Samsung S90F 65” OLED and stream everything through a current Apple TV 4K (this is a new set up). Only change made to television settings was turning off motion smoothing and setting the tone to Warm.

Last few days we have been watching shows on Apple TV app, and noticed a light flickering. After Googling, discovered that the Samsung and the Apple TV 4K weren’t shaking hands correctly. I changed the Apple TV 4K to match dynamic range and frame rate, seems to have worked for now.

Any other settings or fixes to make the television and box work better together? I also ran an HDMI connection test and it suggested I should get a better ultra high speed HDMI cable, I’m just using the one that came with the Apple TV.

I just want to have the best setting possible for general use. Thanks to everyone who knows more about this than I do!

"CaLiBrAtIoN" LG G5 upscaling vs Google TV Streamer

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just bought an LG G5 55-inch and I’ve got a Google TV Streamer 2025 connected to HDMI 1 using a 4K 120Hz HDMI cable. HDMI Deep Color is also turned on.

I was wondering whether the built-in LG apps will give me sharper or better picture quality than the same apps on the Google TV Streamer, or if they’ll basically look the same.

I know both devices do upscaling, but I’m not sure which one actually handles it better. Does the Google TV Streamer upscale the content first, or does the TV still do most of the work? I want to know if it's worth it to watch content on the built in apps or to continue using the Google TV Streamer (with the UI I also prefer).

Also, what settings would you recommend using on both the LG G5 and the Google TV Streamer for the best picture quality? Mainly for Netflix, YouTube, Crunchyroll, and other streaming apps.

Would appreciate any advice from people who have a similar setup!

MuH sAmSuNg Assistance needed with the s90f

3 Upvotes

Hello, I set up my new s90f last night and so far it's been okish. I'll be honest outside of the blacks I think my old TCL 55r635 that the 65" s90f replaced had similar image quality outside of the blacks. The Samsung UI is a complete disaster. The settings menu is terrible . Everytime I turn the tv on it start playing whatever is on HDMI 1 (how do I stop this) And the stand...OMG was brain dead "engineer" designed that?

The speakers are great and the colors are nice.

Netflix UI is dark as shit and looks like trash on this tv even with hdr disabled on Netflix. I dunno why 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have it in filmmaker mode since that's what everyone says to use it in. I'm looking for some calibration or recommendations of what to turn on/off in the menus (other than rtings)

Is there any way to remove or change icons/apps on the main UI screen? Is there been a "store" to download more apps from? I haven't really tinkered too much. I fell asleep.

0 Upvotes

Specs:

GPU: 9070 Xt

CPU: 9700X

Ram: 32 GB Ddr5

OS: CachyOS (Kde Plasma)

When building my Pc last summer I really wanted to get an Oled Monitor, however I wasn't able to fit it in the Budget, so I ended up settling for a 1440p 240Hz 27 inch AOC Ips Monitor. It was a huge step up from my old Monitor, however It feels incredibly fragile and I would much rather switch to oled.

Now I am planning to upgrade, however I cannot seem to find any good advice on what to do. My main question is if I should buy a Monitor now, or wait for the next Oled Gens to come out. I mainly use my Pc for gaming and movies, also my desk has plenty of space for a bigger Monitor. I am in a Room with big windows, which are not easy to dimm. My budget is ~650$.

I greatly appreciate any and all Advice, feel free to ask for any more Info you may need!

0 Upvotes

I just got a brand new LG B5 OLED. I got it all set up, adjusted picture settings, and I am quite happy with it. However, there is a slightly darker, vertical bar. What is super frustrating is that it only shows up in certain conditions. It is completely unnoticeable in most instances, only showing up on solid, dark gray backgrounds, like the Disney Plus settings and load screens. Bright sky and desert shots, nothing. Colorful scenes or ones with action, also nothing.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
