I went down this path last year when updating from a 20 year old Pioneer Elite plasma 55' monitor to a new Samsung S95C OLED TV and Q990C soundbar.
This setup replace the TV and high end 5.1 channel surround system in my main living room without compromise and a significant wife acceptance factor improvement (no more big surround speakers in the living room).
I'll admit that you really can't go wrong with any of the leading manufacturers (Samsung, LG, Sony) with today's technology. However, the following factors led me to the Samsung over other options:
- Very bright and punchy colors, even in rooms with significant ambient sunlight.
- Excellent off axis viewing angle and display reflection reduction
- Excellent color gamut - I did not find a need to calibrate this display
- Integration of display speakers with soundbar produced a compelling surround experience
- My experience was similar to this video:
- The Samsung incorporates a One Connect Box that you connect all video sources and power cables and run only a single cable to the display. This made installation much cleaner.
- One downside of Samsung TV's - No Dolby Vision support, only HDR10 and HDR10+ (this has not significantly limited my 4K TV viewing)
I have lived with this setup over the past year with no regrets and highly recommend. Samsung now has a newer model S95D.
