Help choosing between S90C, C3 and B3

This Post Again?

I'm in the market for a new 55-inch TV on Amazon, and I'm torn between three options: the S90c, B3, and C3. The B3 is priced at €999, the C3 at €1200, and the S90c at €1100. According to ratings from RTINGS, the S90c seems to offer the best value for money, but I've had issues with Samsung in the past. As for the B3 and C3, is there enough of a difference to justify the €200 price gap? I'll mainly be using the TV for watching anime, YouTube, and occasionally movies/TV shows, primarily at night. Any recommendations?

S90C has the superior panel and it's easily noticeable. Upscaling is also great with Samsung, it retains detail well, but motion interpolation can have some artifacts sometimes, and for low quality content Samsung doesn't handle macro-blocking or banding as well. For the superior panel alone S90C would be my choice. Although the C3 might be brighter for SDR. If you mainly watch SDR I'd get the C3.

C3 > S90C for me unless you are gaming only then that is the only case where the S90C is somewhat redeeming

The C3 has many differences compared to the B3 for those extra 200€?

brighter, better processor, 4 HDMI 2.1 ports vs 2 enough for me to pay the 200 difference

The s90C dose have 4 2.1 ports also, I use all 4 on mine. Also Tizen sucks. lol

I think we'd better off getting C3 as you've already had an issue with Samsung's before.

c3 is different enough from B3 to warrant the extra cost imo.

I own B3 55" and it's being great. If you can afford the 200 go for C3. (mine cost 850 with 5 years warranty couldn't being better)

I had the s95c, good tv but Samsung customer support was absolutely horrendous. I returned the tv and will never buy a Samsung product again just because how $hitty their customer service was.
