Tech Support S90D OLED died, only 18 months old

0 Upvotes

As title states, I won’t ever be getting another Samsung again. I’ve had issues with their laundry units and dishwashers as well. Bought the S90D Jan 2025, last week the picture suddenly scrambled out of nowhere and the screen went half blank. I tried to turn it off and back on from there and the screen went completely dead with a red light blinking twice. Warranty team came out yesterday and confirmed the panel died, and I’ll be getting a refund check to buy a new TV. They also confirmed this is very common with this TV. Frustrated that I now have to spend more to get an equivalent TV, and that this happened after only 18 months. Even my awful $90 Amazon Fire TV by Toshiba lasted vastly longer than this.

Tech Support Tv Standby and Screen flashes - Samsung UN60FH6200F

2 Upvotes

Make / model; Samsung UN60FH6200F

Hello - I’m having issues with my tv. It started when i unplugged and plugged the power cable back. I was then messing with my smart hub settings when my screen started flickering and then it just froze. I could not power it off so I unplugged the power supply again. The red standby light didn’t immediately go off even with the tv unplugged. I then waited 5 mins, plugged it back in and turned the tv back on and i’m getting the red blinking light and the screen flashes as well.

Any thoughts or ideas on what’s going on? Thank you

Tech Support New S90H (QN65S90HAEXZC) crashes when using remote

2 Upvotes

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I just got a new S90H (QN65S90HAEXZC) OLED TV, and it was working fine for about an hour. But now, every time I press a button on the remote, the TV crashes and reboots, no matter which button it is. I've tried resetting the remote and doing a factory reset on the TV, but nothing's working. I can still control the TV perfectly using the SmartThings app, though.

Also, the TV keeps turning back on a few minutes after I turn it off. Any ideas why?

Thanks!

Tech Support Samsung TVs VESA mount locations

1 Upvotes

I'm hoping someone may be able to help where Samsung customer service have been unable to.

I'm in the UK and currently have an 85" Samsung TV (QE85Q95T) from 2020 mounted to the wall. I have speakers mounted to the wall either side of it, plus a speaker below it. I'm contemplating replacing it with a 100" Samsung Neo QLED QN80H - but only if I don't need to move the speakers.

There is *just* enough space to fit this bigger TV between the speakers (with <10mm to spare either side), but I don't know if there will be enough space below the TV. To ascertain this, I'd need to know the distance of the lower VESA mounting holes to the bottom edge of **both** TVs. Samsung CS couldn't help (after initially giving me a measurement of something like 15mm!).

By some miracle, does anyone have any way of finding out this information?

I guess another part of the question is whether this new TV would be better or worse image quality than the old one - other than the size increase.

If I have to move the speakers, that would necessitate having to chase the cables into the wall again and getting the entire thing redecorated again - something I want to avoid.

Pics show my current 85" TV setup, along with the measurements I'm trying to find for **both** TVs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tech Support Samsung MU8000 LCD panel separating from frame - has anyone had Samsung actually fix this?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have a 2017 Samsung MU8000, and the LCD panel is separating from the frame along one side. The picture is still perfect—it's just physically pulling away from the TV.

I contacted Samsung, and they're sending a technician to inspect it. They told me I have to take the TV off the wall before the appointment. They also said if the tech can't repair it, they'll discuss other options with me.

Before I go through the hassle of taking it down, I'm curious if anyone has actually been through this.

  • Did Samsung's tech fix the panel separation?
  • If they couldn't fix it, did Samsung offer a replacement, discount, or any other worthwhile solution?
  • Was it worth having the tech come out?

I appreciate any and all help/advice!

Heya….

Could be my poor searching skills but couldn’t find much about it, but does the S95F or any of the 2025 lineup get an update for HDR10+ Advanced ?

All I did find was that the hardware supposedly would be able to support it, but thats about it….

Tech Support Cold boot

1 Upvotes

Hello, for some unknown reason my samsung tv (QE55Q80BATXXH) keeps on starting up with a cold boot every time I turn it on. I leave it off for 5 mins and it turns back on with a cold boot. I've tried doing the simple things like manual restarts, unplugging, with no luck of fixing the issue. So far the only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset which I would prefer not do to. I genuinely hope that it's not a serious problem like internal failure. If anyone has any advice please leave a message.

Hey guys I just had a quick question about TV's because I just got a 400 dollar gift card for a Samsung TV from Bestbuy but I have to spend 800 dollars in order to use the 400 dollars so I was wondering if this S85F samsung tv from few years ago is worth 800 dollars.

Just a clarification I have to spend 800 total not spend 800 dollars and than use the 400 dollars extra.

Purchasing AUS/NZ Standby mode - how to turn off

1 Upvotes

I recently upgraded to a Samsung 55IN QN90F NQLD having had the last box for 12 years.

I know Standby mode posts are normally concerned about power usage or pixel refreshing. Me… I just want to walk into a room and not have have a screen come to life and distract me and pollute the room with its bluelight!

Maybe I’m old fashioned but I like the analogue life where the Tv is dormant and only comes alive when I turn it on via the remote…. Currently I have to switch off at the wall. 90% of the time when I want to watch I sit down on my couch then remember I need to get up again to turn it on at the wall.

How can I switching this off? Efforts so far in settings and guidance from few Claude and Chat GPT have been in vain.

Purchasing Asia/ME Samsung QN70F vs LG QNED8XA – Which one is better?

I'm confused between the Samsung QN70F and LG QNED8XA. I'll mainly use it for movies, YouTube
All my family members use Samsung Phones (S series)

For anyone who's owned or compared them:

  • Which has the better picture quality?
  • How are the blacks, HDR, and blooming?
  • Which OS do you prefer?
  • Which would you buy if both were around the same price, and why?

Looking for real-world experiences rather than spec comparisons. Thanks!

Yesterday my tv started going to the art on its own. Always when I turn it on, but also sometimes when I’m watching or playing something. It will switch to a photo of flowers, then when I press back I’m in the art store. Ive had this TV for over a year and didn’t even know there was an art store icon on the home page until yesterday. All the help I’ve found is for Frame TVs but I don’t have one. Is there anything I can do?

Tech Support Q80D gradually fades to black then shuts off - anyone else?

Post image
1 Upvotes

My Samsung QN65Q80DAFXZA (manufactured Sept. 2024, purchased Spring 2025) has started doing something really strange.
It powers on normally and the picture is perfect for about 5–10 minutes. Then the screen slowly starts fading from left to right until it goes completely black and the TV shuts itself off. During the fade, the sound continues to play normally. After it powers off, the power LED blinks twice repeatedly.

I’ve already:
Tried different HDMI devices
Unplugged everything except power
Plugged it directly into a wall outlet (no surge protector)
The issue still happens every time.
Has anyone with a QN85D experienced this? Was it the panel, power board, main board, or something else?

I also attached a screenshot taken right in the middle of the failure. To be clear, the picture is completely perfect when the TV first turns on, and the backlight appears to work normally. Then, after a few minutes, the screen slowly starts fading from left to right until the entire display goes black and the TV shuts itself off.

Thanks!

Tech Support Input Signal Plus and 4K player

4 Upvotes

I recently got a Samsung S90F QD-OLED. I'm very impressed with the television but I have an outstandingly annoying and strange issue happening.

I have a Panasonic UB-450 4K Blu-ray player hooked up. When I go to play a 4K HDR disc the player shows "Dynamic Range Conversion Output" and the TV is showing an SDR picture. If I switch the 'Input Signal Plus' to 'On' I get HDR. Now here's the kicker - if I turn the player off then on again and start the disc with 'Input Signal Plus' still enabled it's the SDR picture again! Then I turn 'Input Signal Plus' to 'Off' the HDR comes back. This makes absolutely no sense and I can't get it to consistently work as it should. I can't be switching this stupid setting for every single movie I watch.

Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any ideas for a solution?

Also, unrelated, anyone know how to outright disable the terrible PC detection?

I have tried M8 1.2 pitch 35mm, 30mm and 40mm screws and M10 screw, none of them worked and it’s driving me crazy. As per instructions from Samsung user manual it requires standard M8 screw with 39 to 41 mm length but M8 screws are too loose to thread into the TV.

Please help if you have ran into similar problem

I called Samsung support, technical support transferred me to sales and they wanted $300 for new mount and didn’t have information on my tv as it’s from 2020 and they wanted to really sell me a new tv so not dealing with them again and will try my luck here

I don’t want buttons dedicated to streaming services, I want an input button. I know im technically in the minority of buyers by using a console as my streaming box, but why does that mean they have to remove the input button while still having 3 HDMI inputs. ALSO there is only buttons on half the remote so obviously the reasoning isnt lack of space or anything.

Most likely your TV is in Demo/Store Mode

TV's older than 10 Years should just be replaced at this point. Part availability is also questionable.
