Can Samsung s90c/d engage BFI in HDR/game mode?

High Hz on OLED produce excellent strobeless motion blur reduction with fast GtG pixel response. It is easier to tell apart 60Hz vs 120Hz vs 240Hz on OLED than LCD, and more visible to mainstream. Includes WOLED and QD-OLED displays.

Can Samsung s90c/d engage BFI in HDR/game mode?

Post by naylord » 15 May 2025, 15:25

My lg c9 is getting dreaded dead pixels at the edges. I see a good deal on a s90c nearby, I think I might go for that instead of getting a g4 in case qd oled is more resiliant. Sucks that my tv is garbage after only 4 years but I think I'd rather have to buy new tvs every 5 years than look at terrible LCD panels; life is too short to waste it lookng at bad displays.

I'm devestated that 120hz BFI is no more but I need the 60 hz bfi for every videogame that runs at 60 at least. But I was reading some reports online that BFI is disabled on samsung tvs in game mode or in hdr mode. Is this true or are you able to use it regardless of mode? I know using VRR obviously disengages BFI but I'm hoping the TV doesn't also stop it for hdr/game mode.

Hi,

Yes, but some Samsung models — including the S90D — have issues with the implementation of BFI. On certain models, when there's a large frame change in a game (for example, navigating menus in Death Stranding), the TV experiences stutters, as if it's trying to sync the BFI with the image.

It seems to be a software issue, but so far, it hasn’t been fixed.
