Customers are mixed about the brightness of the television. Some mention that it's slightly brighter than LG's, and the overall brightness is not an issue. However, others say that it is too bright most of the time, and that the picture goes way too bright in a daylight setting. The picture will randomly darken and then lighten a few, and it also began to display streaks of light on the screen. The HDR material varies greatly in brightness, and you may have to set ST.

***Cons***
One Connect Cable is shorter then previous models (12 ft) so plan ahead when mounting. Certified fiber optic HDMI 2.1 recommended which comes with a heavy price. Stock speakers distort with low frequencies (better off with home theatre amp or sound bar). The remote is made from recycled plastic and feels cheap. Good for sustainability but expected more this is dubbed a "flagship" product. Got a stuck / bright red pixel caused by a malfunction in the transistor which allows light through sub pixels. This requires “pixel refreshing” which takes an hour.
***UPDATE Jan 2024***
Random HDMI signal drops started occurring more frequently during regular media playback and device power up. I would have to power cycle sound bar and TV to resolve each time. Returned the 65" model and purchased an 77" S95CA with no immediate issues using the same cables.

I would recommend this set wholeheartedly.
- The display is incredibly bright for an OLED. Makes my 2016 LG OLED look completely dull by comparison. Vivid colors and deep blacks. I read 1,300 nits of peak brightness, and I believe it.
- Samsung’s OLED technology is allegedly more resistant to burn in than LG’s, and slightly brighter, which made me go Samsung after years with LG.
- The input box with single connector to TV is well thought out. 4 HDMI ports plus all the expected other ports at this price range
- I like the space gray color of the back, and of course it is very slim as all OLEDs are
Cons:
- Compared to LG software, Samsung software is bloatware. They want you to use the software and services they are pushing. XBOX advertisements are one sponsored item you’re exposed to on this very expensive TV. Also not sure what Ion TV is, but I am sure I do not like having it start playing every single time I turn on my TV. I use Apple TV with the Samsung tv and much prefer the Apple interface.
-Samsung remote does not get along with my Sonos speaker. I have read elsewhere that the Samsung remote doesn’t pair well with Sonos which is a major bummer. I’ve been using my Apple TV remote and Sonos app to control volume.
- Another unfeature is the lack of ability to adjust inputs easily either on the remote or on the tv menu. I don’t think you can do it at all on the remote (Samsung, please let me know if I’m wrong), and on the TV you have to navigate to “connected devices”, all the way at the bottom of the menu in smaller font than everything Samsung is pushing.
Verdict:
Overall I’m happy with the product because the display is simply jaw-dropping. I just wish Samsung prioritized “connected devices” more in the use of the TV.
Tip: In all settings under “connection” and then “external device manager”, turn on any net+ (aka CEC) and input signal plus for all HDMI inputs to get everything working best.
Edit: My unit started malfunctioning and cutting the picture when playing video. It also began to display streaks of light on the screen. I returned it but ordered another, hoping it doesn’t have the same issue. Make sure when ordering this TV from Amazon the seller is Amazon - they have the best return policy.

Not disappointed in the decision.
The UI takes some getting used and the lack of Dolby Vision isn’t a deal breaker for me. Samsungs color volume and features more than make up for it. After getting used to the interface I will say it is snappier than LGs as with them I would constantly run into stutters and lag.
As for screen uniformity? It is perfect. Not a single smudge or faint line or anything.
The speakers are garbage. Get a soundbar or speaker system asap.
One other issue that I am running into is with Dolby Atmos and the Xbox Series X. When running 4k/120Hz settings along with Atmos the sound will cut out every few seconds. For those running into this issue the fix for now is to use Dolby Digital instead or switch to 4k/60 instead. I didn’t have this issue with my previous LG C2 so I’m hoping a patch will fix it as I mainly use this TV for gaming.
Overall a fantastic screen. The design feels premium and the super thin panel while have you constantly glancing at it.
