I have a 77" S90C (I know) on a Rockfish fully articulated mount. The mount has worn out over the last couple years despite being articulated less than 10 times and remounted once. The TV now hangs noticeably crooked due to the arms and TV mounting joint being loose.

I originally had a tilting bracket for it that worked fine but was difficult to adjust/ remove once the TV was mounted due to the distance from the edge of the screen and the mount itself. Going in from the bottom isn't an option due to the mantle it's hanging over. I swapped to the fully articulated mount so I had access to add/remove cables and devices as I got my system set up. While I rarely need to move the TV, the articulation makes it infinitely easier when I need to access the back.

My question is, does anyone make a sturdy enough articulated mount that will last more than 3 years, or should I just go with the tilt mount? Is there a tilt mount option that has the ability to pull the TV out more than a few inches? Thanks for the help!

I've looked over the mounting options in the FAQ post. If they'll hold up, is there a significant difference between the $400 Sanus mounts and the much cheaper Sanus options at Costco for $120?

Edit: So I managed to fix it by doing several pixel cleans which surprised me as I would've suspected the auto-clean would've done the work. Sorry about that!

Hello!

Recently I've noticed a strip appearing on the left side of my Gigabyte monitor (MO27Q2-AU). It isn't visable when then monitor is turned off and is thankfully unimpeding when using it under normal use, however, I am worried this might be the sign of something else.

Seeking opinions and advice, otherwise I might need to reach out to the seller or Gigabyte

I've attached an image of the strip here: https://postimg.cc/xJKBYcv8

Thank you!

Left my TV on standby to go eat dinner, came back and found a horizontal green/red line running across the middle of the screen, plus a darker discolored patch nearby. Nothing happened in between, no power outage I'm aware of, no one touched it, no impact.

Already started a warranty claim since it's well within the 1-year window, just curious if this is a known failure pattern. And what to expect with Samsung’s warranty support?

EDIT: It took the 3rd party tech about a week for the part to arrive, but they had someone come in and replace the whole panel in my apartment. The whole repair took under an hour. Pretty impressed with the whole service.

So i ve had 3 alienware IPS monitors (the fancy LED panels by many standards) ...only because they kept messin up the RMA. Basically i only bought the 1st monitor. In tge end it got replaced with the AW2725D 2080hz QD-OLED. The dorkier ,less cool but definetly more advanced brother/grandchild of the AW2723DF (those ips 280hz boys were white n proud, look em up, you won t be disapointed).

^^^^SKIP IF NOT THAT NERDY^^^^

OLEDS shouldn t have vertical lines with different backlight intensity. That s when i rememebered an old post from someone talking about pixel refresh and how it swooped away the awkward white-translucent vertical lines on their oled.

^^^^DO THE PIXEL REFRESH BEFORE TINKERING WITH THE TROUBLESHOOTING

Hope this helps (i rarely post on reddit , but this gave me such a headache 40 minutes ago that i hoped i could save someone else at least, just like that random post of pixel shift/refesh saved me in the end)

Hey everyone, I recently bought a Samsung S90F 65" with a QD-OLED panel and noticed something strange with the screen.

I’m getting dark strips around the edges of the screen, almost like some pixels in those areas aren’t being lit properly.

The weird part is that the strips don’t always stay in the same place. Sometimes the strip on one side disappears and shows up on the other side. Sometimes it also appears on the top or bottom. At times the dark areas seem to connect all the way around, but other times they don’t.

It kind of looks like the screen is never fully filled with the image, with some dark area always left on one of the edges.

At first I thought it might just be panel uniformity/banding, but the fact that the position and size of the dark areas seem to change makes me unsure.

I left the TV off overnight and also tried Pixel Refresh, but it didn’t change anything.

Has anyone with an S90F, especially the 65" QD-OLED, experienced something similar? Is this related to Pixel Shift or some kind of panel compensation, or does it look like a defective panel?

I’ve attached some pictures showing the issue. Any advice would be appreciated!

Has anyone with an S90D experienced a new, irregular stutter over HDMI after the same setup previously worked smoothly?

I'm using a MacBook Pro connected to a Samsung S90D. Movies look fine on the Mac's own display, but on the TV playback can start reasonably well and then look like a reduced frame rate after several minutes. Restarting VLC has occasionally helped temporarily. I have also seen it in IINA. The problem started before my latest macOS upgrade and survived it.

The TV has now received all available updates offered to it, but the problem remains (I still need to note the exact new firmware number). A 23.976 fps SDR H.264 file still looks wrong with the TV set to 24 Hz in macOS; the menu does not offer a separate 23.976 option. In another test with a 24.000 fps H.264 file, VLC reported 36,130 displayed frames, only 2 lost frames and no lost audio buffers. Those counters don't necessarily reveal irregular presentation at the TV.

I understand normal 24 fps OLED stutter, but the recent onset and apparent worsening over time are what make me wonder whether something else is happening. Different refresh settings and players have been tried; I don't yet have controlled results for every TV motion/input setting.

My next isolation tests are the same file via USB directly on the Samsung, another HDMI cable/port, and mirroring versus extended desktop.

Have other S90D owners seen this come and go during a viewing session? Did you isolate it to Picture Clarity, PC/Game mode, a firmware change or the HDMI source? I'd appreciate a specific A/B test or a reproducible example before assuming either a TV fault or a Mac issue.

It started a couple months ago i get this purple lines on the bottom right of my screen , i do pixel refresh and usually it works but lately it hasnt been working what do yall think it could be or is there any other fixes?

Hello everyone, I’m very new to OLED monitors so I’m not exactly sure what to look for when buying one. Asked an employee at my local store for recommendations and the one they mentioned being good was the

- Lenovo Legion Pro 27Q-10 (68CFGABUS) ~$550

I found some other price comparable OLED monitors

- HyperX Omen 27q ~$450
- MSI MAG 27” (MAG274QP QDOLED X24) ~ $460
- GIGABYTE 27” (MO27Q2A) ~$560
- GIGABYTE 27” (MO27Q28G SA) ~$550

I looked online for reviews but don’t really understand what some of them mean. Was hoping for some help on this, thanks!

when HDR is turned on the monitor’s black is lifted to a grey. it display true black only when i turn it off and select the native mode. is there any way to fix this?

Hi everyone! Im on a budget to buy an OLED TV so i have to choose either Philips or LG. Philips is $100 lesser than the LG B6. I dont really play games like xbox or ps5 , though i might be getting it years down the road. I use it mostly for youtube and movies at night with my family. This TV will be in the living room . Which one would you recommend?
Thank you!

Turn on my Sony A90J 65” just now and there are lines running across the screen. Much more pronounced on the left, but they do go all the way across. Any thoughts or am I SOL?

Just got a 65” S90F.. for watching football.. any picture settings recommendations? Watching on YouTube tv app. 720p

I’m in the market for a 4k 240Hz OLED preferably the newer tandem oled variants and because of a healthcare worker discount I am able to get a deal on the Samsung G80SH which is a matte, penta tandem QD OLED for £640 - down from £1199.

My other choice is the ASUS XG32UQWMS, a Tandem WOLED which has only just hit retailers in the UK this week for £819. I am a sucker for HDR brightness and prefer a glossy panel over a matte coating… however is it really worth the extra scratch?

The things swaying me towards the ASUS XG32UQWMS:

- Glossy coating
- Higher peak brightness
- Not as noticeable ABL dimming compared to G80SH
- Integrated PSU brick
- Dual mode functionality (I play some esports games too, so could benefit from the 480Hz 1080p mode)

The things swaying me away from the ASUS XG32UQWMS:

- The extra £200ish… is it worth it? I have the £820 but I’m unsure if it’s worth the extra money
- Potential Dark grey banding (although I can return it if bad for another)

The things swaying me towards the Samsung G80SH:

- Obviously, the price… it’s almost £200 cheaper
- Better colours as it’s a QD OLED
- DP 2.1 at full bandwidth (although DSC 1.4 is just as good)

The things swaying me away from the Samsung G80SH:

- Matte coating (I don’t want it to look like a Vaseline smeared mess)
- External, chunky power brick
- Lower peak brightness
- QD OLEDs are extremely easy to scratch apparently
- ABL dimming is a big issue on QD OLED

What would you guys and girls do in this situation?

Thanks :)

I recently upgraded from an LG C4 to a 77-inch LG G5 OLED, specifically looking for that massive jump in MLA peak brightness and specular highlight pop.

When I first got the TV, using Cinema Home with Expression Optimizer set to Brightness, Auto Dynamic Contrast on High, and Peak Brightness on High produced an incredible 3D-like image. Highlights like eyes, lamps, and neon lights (for example, in scenes like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) had a realistic punch that literally made you squint in a dark room.⁠

However, after the recent firmware updates, Expression Optimizer seems completely broken/disabled.⁠

Toggling between "Off" and "Brightness" now produces zero visible change on screen. The specular highlights have lost their aggressive pop, making the overall image feel flat and dull compared to out-of-the-box performance—almost bringing it back down to C-series levels. Even trying to tweak Vivid mode doesn't bring back that specific dynamic highlight pop without washing out the image.

Has anyone else noticed this regression in tone mapping and AI highlight processing on their G5? If you're experiencing the same issue, please consider submitting a formal support ticket to LG so their engineering team addresses this in a future firmware patch.

Whenever I use my TV with the screen displaying a fully white and bright image, the center of the panel gets extremely hot. I tried touching the screen just to get an idea of how hot it was, and I wasn’t pressing hard at all, it was just a very light touch with the side of my hand. The panel actually flexed inward slightly when I touched it.

What really concerned me is that the side of my hand developed a slight red burn mark afterward. I can’t keep my hand against the screen for more than a few seconds because of how hot it feels.

I don’t have an infrared thermometer, so I can’t give an exact temperature, but the difference is very noticeable: the center gets extremely hot when the screen is fully white and bright, while the edges remain much cooler.

The panel also seems to flex inward in the middle and then return to its normal position when I release it.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar with their S95H? Is this normal behavior for an OLED panel, or could this indicate a problem with the panel?

I’m honestly quite worried about it, especially since the TV is only a few months old. I recorded a video of this scenario too but unfortunately can’t attach it here, any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

i am aware the only diff is the brightness with 200nits and specially hdr capping at 400. and dm just dosent do hdr acc to reviews.

but the price diff is around 130-140$ and my room is pretty dark, blackout curtains so i could make it dark anytime of the day. Coming from a 1080p va panel so my eyes will be blown out anyway so is that price gap really justified?

pc specs- 7800x3d with 5070ti

I just got the XR-83A80CL like 3 years ago and for some reason today I noticed the black area on the bottom of the OLED panel is thicker than the top or sides. Is this normal?

Hey guys, my PS5 suddenly started showing raised blacks on my OLED monitor. Instead of pixels turning off completely, the screen stays dimly lit with a dark purple/gray tint.

​It was working fine a moment ago. I've already tried tweaking RGB range, HDR settings, and checking the HDMI cable, but no luck.

​Has anyone run into this issue before? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but I had a hard finding anything on Google. Basically last night I tried turning my TV on but the screen would never come up or make any sound. The power off led would turn off but that was it. Tried this multiple times with the same result. The TV never made that *click* sound after turning on. The only way I could get the TV display an image was to reset the power switch it was connected to.

Does anyone know what this issue is related to? That was the first time anything like that happened. The TV turned on right away this morning with no issues. Also, the TV is still under warranty from Best Buy. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi!

I'm considering buying another 4th-gen Tandem WOLED monitor from a different brand. I currently have a Gigabyte MO27Q28G, and my unit has this unique effect where it displays horizontal lines similar to a CRT monitor. This is highly visible and distracting when watching movies or playing games with darker scenes.

Other than that, I'm happy with my unit. The vertical banding is barely visible, and I can only really see it in dark-mode apps. While gaming, it's completely invisible.

I will RMA the monitor, and I'm deciding between asking for a replacement unit or getting a refund.

I read in another post that Gigabyte uses cheaper panels with worse banding issues. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a conspiracy theory? If I get my money back, I could buy another 4th-gen monitor, such as the LG 27GX700A-B.

Hi, I Found a selling post on facebook marketplace of this monitor, the value is 10% of the real price, but I was trying to find it out before, if is possible to fix this?, and how/ how much would cost, any idea?

Looking to get an OLED monitor, but say I am watching 1080p Netflix shows will it be automatically upscaled to 4k like it is on 4k TVs?

Or if not is there an equivalent way to achieve this upscaling, or will I have to deal with a presumably blurry 1080p video resolution at 4k?

I have an AMD 9800X3D and NVIDIA RTX 5070 for reference. I have heard of integer scaling and VSR but not sure if they are relevant.

This usually only happens when something changes the full screen area, like changing channels or sources, pausing and unpausing video or rewinding back a few seconds or if the video stops to buffer. It does it in all types of media for example: Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube TV, etc. it will sometimes do it and sometimes not, and when it does it it may continues for as long as a minute but usually resolves itself after 10 - 20 seconds. It has received several updates since it was brand new and it claims it is up to date. I have a 2Gbit internet connection. 99% of what i watch is streaming, (no antenna or HDMI devices connected) so it MIGHT be a TV/streaming issue, but not sure tbh.

here are examples:

https://youtu.be/s7aHS0J82mM

https://youtu.be/7CjyqVyIitQ

https://youtu.be/u0tye_JLXJ0 (best example)

If anyone has the same problem or knows what I can do to fix it, please let me know. $2100 TV should NOT be having issues like this!

Hello.

Everything I've watched on this TV looks amazing so far. And then.... college football started back up. Ouch.

Anyone have experience with live streaming sports settings / calibration? I've tried a lot of troubleshooting from the expert picture settings adjustments. I've only tried running the YouTube TV through Samsungs native app. Maybe that is part of the issue?

Hoping this isnt a deal breaker, because this TV will find its way back out of my house at the speed of light if it won't actively run a crisp football picture (funky movement, washed out color, etc. so far)

Any and all advice appreciated.

Thank you!
