the s90c is the starting point for Samsung's QD oleds for 2023 and it's a great looking TV it has
that shallow depth that's typical of an OLED to go along with a thin bezel and a center mounted
pedestal and it comes in three sizes 55 65 and 77 inches pricing on the 65-inch model which
is what we have right here starts at 25.99 but these do go on sale throughout the year
so be sure to check in with an Abt home theater specialist to hear about any of our current sale
pricing [Music] the connections on the s90c are located directly on the back and they're arranged
in an L pattern you have two USB type A's and two HDMI 2.1s facing left as you're looking at the
back of the TV then you've got two more HDMI 2.1s and optical audio output an ethernet port x-link
and an antenna connection with an atsc 3.0 tuner all facing down and it has another connection that
you don't see on a lot of TVs anymore a three and a half millimeter analog audio output and it even
comes with an RCA adapter finally for wireless connections it's got Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 5.
for the operating system Samsung uses tizen here which is easy to navigate and pretty responsive
your home page which is otherwise known as media is where you're going to find your apps recently
viewed content and what's on now and if you scroll down you'll see additional content that's broken
down into categories and genres some of it's paid but there's plenty of free stuff down
there too there's a search menu that you can use to look up shows or movies across multiple
platforms that make it easy to find what you're looking for under search is the ambient mode menu
which lets you pick from a bunch of different wallpapers that you can display on the TV so
it looks more like an art display rather than a blank black rectangle when you're not using it
then you have Game Hub this lets you play games right off the TV without needing a gaming console
all you need is a controller which is not provided in the box and you can choose from
a variety of different games from services like Xbox Luna GeForce now and utomic there are fees
associated with most of the gaming services but there are some free games that you can try out
as well finally you've got connected devices where you can see all the components you have hooked up
to the TV and settings where you can make changes to the TV's picture audio and network settings
moving on we've got smart features the s90c works with Samsung's Bixby smart assistant and Amazon
Alexa right out of the box once you set them up and it can work with Google Assistant but you
need a separate Google assistant device on the same network to take advantage of that feature
it's also got two screen multi-view which is basically a fancier name for picture and picture
and finally one of my favorite smart features TV plus this is a collection of streaming TV channels
that you can watch for free and there's a ton of them it's great for cord cutters and anyone
who might just be looking for additional content to watch for audio the s90c gets a 2.1 Channel
system driven by 40 watts of power to go along with object tracking sound light which is going
to help sound follow the action on the screen it's also compatible with Dolby Atmos audio
and it sounds decent but with fewer drivers and less power than the s95c model above it we would
recommend considering adding a sound bar to this one and because it has Q Symphony built
in going with a Samsung soundbar that also has Q Symphony really adds to the overall home theater
experience that feature is going to let the TV speakers work along with the Soundbar speakers
for a much more engaging experience by creating a wider Sound Stage with far more impactful surround
effects then we've got the picture which is just as stunning as you might have imagined the colors
are beautiful black levels are deep and Rich and you get terrific highlights and Shadow
details especially when you're watching HDR 10 plus content you get a few different picture
calibration modes to choose from right out of the box we recom and going with the filmmaker mode but
you also have the option to calibrate the picture yourself using a compatible smartphone it's easy
enough for a novice to do and it only takes a few minutes and since we have free lifetime technical
support on any products purchased from our store if you have any trouble doing this on your own
you can always give us a call and one of our store Specialists can help walk you through that process
all you're going to need to do is download the Samsung SmartThings app onto your phone set the
TV up on the app and make sure they're on the same network and go to basic calibration then
you hold the phone up to the TV screen and let it do its thing when it's done you have the option
to choose the new calibration or go back to the original we found that doing this did make a good
enough difference to really make it worthwhile motion as is the case with most OLED TVs is
great on this one too we found that putting the TV on the auto setting did a nice job with most
anything we were watching without creating any noticeable soap opera effect Sports movies YouTube
content and games all looked great but also if you don't want to use the auto setting you can
always turn the motion enhancement off altogether or you can customize it in the TV's picture menu
now going back to games for a moment this is also a great gaming TV all for the HDMI inputs
are 2.1 and they offer variable refresh rates with freesync premium and can handle 4K at up
to 144 Hertz plus this one has Samsung's game bar 3.0 if you hold down the play pause button
on the remote it'll bring up a menu with gaming specific features that you can make adjustments to
one of the big questions on the s90c though is what's the difference between this and the
s95c without getting into tons of detail the s95c does have a better audio system better
picture calibration from the factory freesync premium Pro for better HDR when you're gaming
and a one connect box but is it worth the extra cost depends on what you're looking for you get
a really great picture on the s90c just using that basic calibration feature in the SmartThings app
so most people should be satisfied there if you're hooking your TV up to an external audio system
that isn't a Samsung Sound Bar with Q Symphony then the TV's built-in audio won't really matter
if you're not hanging it on the wall the one connect box isn't quite as big of a factor and
if you're not a gamer looking for every Bell and whistle or you're just not a gamer at all then
missing out on freesync premium Pro won't be a big deal either you get a lot for your money with the
s9bc there are so many great TV choices available now and at Abt we want to make sure that you end
up with the one that's going to work best for your home theater if you have any questions on the s90c
or need assistance finding the right TV for your needs be sure to contact our experts here at the
store we're always happy to help thanks for watching and we'll see in the next one [Music]
