I got a good deal for an S90C + Q990C combo. It was 50% off off their regular price which was already quite a bit cheaper than the comparable LG/Sony counterparts.

After 1 year, I am 100% sure that I will never again buy a Samsung product, no matter how cheap it is.

Just look at the first sticky here: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/2023-samsung-4k-s95c-s90c-s...



Ah, well, the S95D on the other hand ......... uh.

I got one hoping it works be great but they add bugs to each release.

The video decoding macro blocks around dark objects at certain illuminations.

The TV complains it's running out of space (wth) after I installed only 6 TV streaming apps. 4gb of storage is the cause and when it gets to 1gb it complains, daily.

It makes power on off sounds, "bling", when off, and when on. Surprise!

The apps all have bugs, because Tizen OS is unpopular and difficult to develop well on.


I mean it's all the same garbage. LG and Sony is where it's at.

I'm planning on selling mine as soon as possible, as I can't stand the judder on 24fps content as well.

Not to mention other quirks like limited passthrough support


My Q990C requires factory reset about once a week. It's maddening.


It's the WPA3 encryption. It needs to be set to WPA2 only for it to not shit itself.


Wow, thank you, that is amazing news. Can I ask how you found this fix? I turned up nothing after scouring reddit on this one for a long time.

EDIT: just checked, my router doesn't even support WPA3... I think it's typically the 5GHz network that upsets it, but I suppose I'll just continue resetting it for now.


It's on 5ghz on my end, and switching the UniFi lite AC to WPA2 from WPA2/3 fixed it.

The thing is that the 2.4ghz wifi from the S90C (they both need to be on the same network for some goddamn reason to work in SmartThings) interferes with my DualSense gamepad.


Why connect the sound bar to the Wifi at all???


Because I want to listen to Tidal on full quality and control playback via my phone. Bluetooth quality is garbage.

I don't want to turn on my TV to listen to music (and Tizen only allows up to a certain quality), or use my nvidia shield, as it also turns on the TV via CEC.

Other platforms also don't support full quality like FLAC or Atmos mixes.
