I haven’t looked recently but last I checked Samsung made the best panels. Has that changed recently?

Samsung scored highest on https://www.rtings.com/ for my criteria, and I'm happy with the purchase. I didn't connect it to the network, of course. (I had to stop my handyman from connecting it and he seemed to think I was crazy for insisting.)

		I installed a Pihole and set an edge router to direct any port 53 traffic that wasn’t from the Pihole, to the Pihole. That made a Samsung behave a little better. But giving it no network access is better.

Samsung is good, except:

- No Dolby Vision support, only HDR10+ - Issues with judder/micro stutter - History of nerfing TVs via OTA updates - HDMI ports randomly failing - Bad HDMI-CEC implementation - Selling completely different panel generations under the exact same model names.

Their panels are often over-saturated with that fake HDR like look, similar to their phones.

Most screens come with "showroom settings" out of the box. You need to configure them to something more neutral once and then it's fine.

I'm aware of that setting, but this is the Samsung baseline. The panels they export for OEMs / other manufacturers don't seem to have the same hyper saturation. Even just standing next to someone using a Samsung phone or tablet you can often spot it straight away we know you what to look for.

		Even phones have screen settings these days (much less detailed than monitors). On my Motorola phone w/ OLED screen, I turned off "vibrant colors" or something like that. Maybe the people you saw didn't bother or liked it. Maybe there is something that can't be turned off, who knows. I only have semi-regular experience with an older (and non OLED) Samsung tablet which seems fine.

Over saturated HDR is a good default in times when all TV shows only use various shades of pitch black.

That goes away if you set them in filmaker mode.

No, qd-oled is still best, LG is closing the gap with tandem oled but is still the second best panel tech.
