What is the half-screen display? On my Samsung S90D (new within the last year or so), I can set it to skip the "home" screen and go directly to the last input on power on. It works well.
The 77 inch has a known powerboard defect. My powerboard went out 3 months into owning it (1000$) then failed again 6 months later

My S90D lasted 1 year and 19days now it trips the circuit breaker just from being plugged into the wall socket and wall switch turned on. WHATA PIECE OF EXPNSIVE SHIT. Time to chnage brands
I have enjoyed my S90D for almost a year and it still blows me away when I game or watch 4K content
[...] Mine died after 5 months. [...]
I have the Samsung s90c 55-in I got it 3 months ago I wonder if it's a second generation panel without having to go in and mess with stuff to find out but I love my TV I haven't had any bugs not one but thing has been running amazing I think I just got lucky I guess
I have the 77-in version of this TV. It is a wonderful TV except for the motherboard burned out of it in about 6 months. They fixed it for free thankfully with a different motherboard that doesn't burn out. All that being said when we switch to the film accurate color mode we think it looks like dog s to hell with accurate color we put on the AI vibrant mode and it looks beautiful with stunning vibrant colors I can't fathom why anybody would want the image to look more dull.
Be aware the 77" S90D has a very common and known issue where the power supply will die, causing the TV to completely die. [...] Mine died at 6 months and the Samsung Technician who came to repair it told me his repair shop replaces 50 power supplies a month just for the S90D...and that is only in one medium sized city in one small state. Luckily the new power supply is supposed to be bulletproof but be aware of that before purchasing that at some point, your 77" S90D will likely die shortly after purchase, and you will need to get it fixed. [...]
[...] Between panning shots it would micro freeze the image. This caused major problem for me!😢 The issue is negated only by enabling de judder to 2-4 clicks or disabling picture clarity completely or running AppleTV or Google TV in a Game Mode! [...]
I agree 💯 with quality control my Q9fn65 I had to send back 3 times first time screen didn't work 2nd the coating was peeling 3rd the back panel was falling off. I should have sent it back a 4th time it had 1 broken pixel in the bottom right corner but this process had taken 6 months and Samsung was giving any discounts or store credits. [...] I wish they'd update the firmware with Xbox and they made a bunch of promises of One connect box upgrades they haven't done yet.
Samsung S90D “77 great picture in fact fantastic picture HOWEVRR, mine died in 54 days, they are replacing it but I know 3 other people that have been thru multiple in under 90 days. My buddy has had 3 replacements in under 90 days all “77 s90d (he owns a bar). [...] Update they swapped it and I’ve had no issues great set. [...]
My tv just died after 2 months. Just contacted Samsung and quickest someone can come out is in a week lmao. Thank God I didn't throw out my 13 year old Vizio
I just bought mine for 77” for $1299 and I was lucky to get it because it’s just popped up suddenly and I got to grab it or else I will regret it. I have been checking on Best Buy every day since January for that size and that price. I was almost buying the 65” Samsung oled for $975 lowest brand and Sony 85” (2024) led bravid 3 $999 but I glad I waited.
I just snagged a 77" S90D at the end of the year for $1700 and added a 4-year extended warranty. This is a fantastic value. I think the contrast on the S90D is better. [...]
Oh had meant to add that the difference in picture between an LED and an OLED is incredible and well worth it. I had a LED whine i got the XSX but got a 65" Samsung S90D in April and was blown away by how much better it looks. Absolutely worth the upgrade,its almost like the difference between
I got the 77 and I freaking love it! Best colors and amazing for gaming!
Woot has a deal right now for a 65" for $1078 total usd new. I already had the 42" as my pc monitor and love it so now I got a living room one.
Don't buy this TV you will be forced to pay out more than $330.00 for a special "Samsung" wall bracket if you wish to connect your cables to it after mounting. They decided in their infinite wisdom to place the Toslink port under the frame at the rear. Making it impossible to connect a cable once it has been mounted on the wall. Now I am forced to get another person to help me dismount the entire set from the walmount to change these cables. Not very smart in my opinion.
I got rid of my soundbar it sounds so good. Bass is heavy. [...]
Here in switzerland i sadly had to figure out that only the 65inch has the qd panel labeled with DAT! All other models have serial DAE and are woled!
So I have the s90d 55" and I have to say the sound that the comes out of this TV is the best I've ever heard for a modern flat panel.
I bought a 65 inch Samsung S90D with QD-OLED panel and its truly stunning especially when watching the right 4K HDR content or Days Gone, TLOU Part 1 & TLOU II Remastered on the PS5 Pro are soooo good, Ratchet & Clank - Rift Apart is one of THE best looking games when it comes to explosive colours and silky smooth gameplay. I loved my Samsung Q-LED and had to sell it a few years back, was amazing so went to the QN900C or QN90C but then saw the S90D OLED also used Quantum Dot Tech so its two in one... Q-Led and Oled together which makes for one spectacular looking TV. [...]
I got the 55” S90D and it’s gorgeous in my living room with S60D Soundbar. TY Ratings.
I purchased this 65S90 TV on Black Friday.If you are someone who has cut the cord on cable, it has no 3.0 next gen capability. DON'T buy this OLED😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just bought an S90D 55" with the the native screen for $1200 and it's awesome. This guy is a Homer for LG.
[...] After our old MiniLED TV developed a fault we returned for a refund to Costco and finally moved into the world of OLED. [...] Even though I missed out on a cashback deal from Samsung, it is an awesome TV for the price. [...]
The panel is so thin that when my friend and I picked it up out of the box a to lay it down on the table as instructed, the panel collapsed under its own weight. That is my definition of quality control issues.
S95D here, had a deal on a 77 inch for $2850, the coating is absolutely no issue, the tv is incredible, and while gaming, I never think about coating whatsoever. In fact, although at first I was hesitant, i have become more impressed with it the more that I use it and see absolutely zero glare at all even with my lamps on in the background
[...] While it’s true it displays colors that are vivid, they go beyond reality, and in many cases make scenes in SDR difficult to watch. [...]
I just got a 65" S90D QD OLED for $1389. Definitely well worth it and it's plenty bright
[...] I had 4k uhd old lg tv and even woled s90d makes me just shock!!! Do you think $300 for s90d 48inch is pretty reasonable?
I bought a new 48 inch "Samsung S90D OLED" TV in replacent of an older "Vizio MQ6" QLED I had! I got it on sale at a Website called "TheAVDudes" . They had it for about 200$ cheaper than Best Buy and I CAN'T believe it was a legitimate business. [...]
Hi, I have a question about automatic screen turn off on s90d. [...]
Just bought this one in 77inch for $2100 thru Samsung. Cant wait to take delivery and see its picture quality, as it will be my first OLED.
Just got the 77” S90D here a couple days this thing is a monster, I have a 65” S95C in the bedroom, Minimal difference in picture, but Samsung killing it with the QD OLED
[...] I bought an S90D 65in for 1599 today. [...] Its my first time having and OLED for gaming. [...]
I bought the s90d for mostly gaming might watch news a little bit off satellite reason being because the store discounted it to s90c closeout price. They also added a 3 year warranty which sounds like I might need? I can say my LG c9 has ran flawless for going on 5 years in my family room
[...] Most of my customers prefer the 90d because of Panton validated colors making them look more realistic, on the other hand people like that more neonish colors of the LG oled. [...] I have both, and for me, as someone who uses my oleds for gaming and content consumption, I prefer the s90d. [...]
I got the 55S90D for $1,136.37 including tax! Super slick deal and cheaper than the 55S90C close out sales I saw! Extremely happy with the purchase and price (using it for my gaming/work Area). It's my first QD-OLED TV and I'm loving it so far. [...] Edit: How to check if you have a QD OLED Panel (2024 model; i think it may work for 2023 as well) - When displaying content/an image, you can use your smartphone camera feature. Get really close to the tv and zoom to the maximum your camera will zoom. If you see what looks like a cross pattern, it's a QD OLED. [...]
[...] I've had Samsung TV's and Clothes Washers and they all fail prematurely (perhaps by design). [...]
[...] Bought the latter production of the S90C and the panels seems to be the same with the S90D. [...]
im done with samsung, Other brands like MSI makes better QD oled monitors compared to samsung and for TVs i just buy LG.
As someone who just upgraded to a G4 from a G2 I can testify that LG has absolutely knocked it out of the park this year
Can I use it as a jellyfin client? [...] I bought a new tv (samsung s90d) and I haven't found have a great way to watch my jellyfin media. [...]
Honestly, bro, I like the LG C4 OLED more. I bought the Samsung 90D and the visuals are just not anywhere near as sharp or as realistic as on the LG C4. [...]
[...] Like i bought Sony W800B, Sony x900E, Hisense U8H, Samsung S90C. [...]
I just bought the s90d for 1300 total. The problem I have is that the lack of Dolby vision makes my blu ray content sound either too loud or too quiet depending on the scene.
i got the c4 55" for pc gaming and colors looks a better washed out on game optimizer. should i return and get the s90D ? or can the c4 be saved through calibrating ?
[...] I wanted your opinion regarding my current situation of S90D So basically, I got a really sweet deal on the S90D 77" which was here on HUGE sale in Middle east Saudi Arabia for around 2300$ which is super nice for that price! I used to have a Sony x9000h 75" but decided to upgrade, anyways the issue is I just found out after making the purchase and awaiting the delivery that there is some sort of panel lotteries specifically in the S90D lineup that you could get a WOLED panel in that TV. After extensive research I have found out that my TV is going to be WOLED and not QD-OLED in Saudi Arabia which was a bummer to me honestly. [...] But I wanted to take your opinion guys regarding this, since after seeing the comparisons between WOLED and QD-OLED that the colors are SO much more vibrant and nicer in the QD-OLED. so should I return the TV and get the S90C for the same exact price or should I just continue with this purchase and it's going to be nice still? Keep in mind that the only S90C that is left that I can take is the one displayed in their store, and it's in the same exact price of the S90D that I'm getting and it's brand new, and in that case I would be guranteed a QD-OLED display since I think that there were no WOLED panel in the S90C lineup.
