A few days ago, I shared my long-term experience with Samsung’s OLED TV, the S90C, and highlighted some software issues that affected the overall user experience (UX). Recently, Samsung released a major software update, and surprisingly, it solved some of the major problems I mentioned earlier.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The One UI update for Tizen 9 fixes key user experience issues<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\nThe Tizen 9.0 based One UI Tizen update for the S90C OLED TV introduces a refreshed UI that feels close to the One UI on Galaxy smartphones and tablets. More importantly, it fixes the sluggishness that came with the Tizen 8 update.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It made the TV faster and more responsive<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/source><\/picture>\nSamsung\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAlthough the update is more than a year late than expected, it greatly improves the experience. The TV now feels much faster than when I first bought it two years ago. The Settings quick menu now opens much faster, and switching between the Number Pad, Settings, and SmartThings tabs is much easier. You can now cycle through them using the Settings button on the remote control.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Samsung TV Plus no longer bothers to introduce itself automatically<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\nBesides performance improvements, the update also addresses my biggest frustration. Samsung TV Plus no longer starts automatically when opening the Settings menu or pressing the buttons used to browse channels. Those buttons only work if you’re using the Samsung TV app.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAnother big improvement is the redesigned settings menu. It no longer appears as a large overlay in the center of the screen. Instead, it appears as a small panel in the lower left corner, which makes it less distracting. The design is now very similar to the Settings interface on Galaxy phones, making it feel familiar and easy to navigate.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe update also fixes the large volume bar. In previous versions of Tizen, the volume overlay took up about a quarter of the screen and displayed unnecessary information such as audio device information and connection type. Although it still displays the name of the audio device, it is now much smaller and less distracting.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nIt also brings Google Cast support, which is a valuable addition for Android users who want seamless streaming options from their phones and tablets; it has been rolled out to some 2025 TVs on Tizen 9 already.
